Local councillors say they need more information before approving a plan to protect na- tive and heritage burial sites from future development. “I think the intent is very good and we heard tonight this referred to as a starting point,” said Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. “But I don’t think that jour- ney begins and ends this evening. Any plan will have to be written very well to stand up to scrutiny.” The decision to refer the matter to staff came despite calls to “make history” from Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner and David Grey Eagle, of the Huron Wen- dat First Nation Their four-recommendation report calls for a minimum 120-metre archeological her- itage zone around all water courses, in which any develop- ment would be contingent upon approval of Pickering’s planners and “the most directly affected First Nation”.

SIU looks into death of local senior PICKERING —The Special Investigations Unit is investigat- ing after a man apparently killed himself after police were called to a Pickering home. Durham Regional Police said a man threatened suicide during a phone conversation with a rela- tive, who called police at about 8 a.m. Saturday. Officers went to the Glendale Drive residence where they spoke to the man briefly at the front door, according to police spokesman Dave Selby. He closed the door and offi- cers heard a “loud bang,” Mr. Selby said. Numerous backup officers, including the tactical support and K-9 units, were called out and the street was closed to traffic. When police entered the home they found the 68-year-old man dead. An autopsy confirmed he died of a single gunshot wound to the head, the SIU said. The SIU is mandated to in- vestigate incidents involving po- lice where civilians are killed or seriously injured. -With files from TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE WHERE TO FIND IT Editorial Page/A6 Sports/B1 Entertainment/B3 Classified/B8 GIVE US A CALL General/905-683-5110 Distribution/905-683-5117 General FAX/905-683-7363 Death Notices/905-683-3005 durhamregion.com shouston@durhamregion.com A.J.

Treaty deal put on hold in Pickering But future still unclear for last link in Pickering waterfront trail BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —The future remains uncertain for two lake- side properties, which residents and City officials claim are key to the completion of Pickering’s waterfront trail. One week after being listed on the real estate market, the ‘For Sale’ sign still sits on 509 Park Crescent and 520 Marks- bury Road. But Terry Sanderson, of Orion Group Real Estate Ser- vices, said his Concord office has received “multiple offers. “We’re just giving everyone the opportunity to digest the look of the properties and what is needed.” The possibility of their sale to a private owner has residents worried for the future of the Mil- lennium Waterfront Trail as they are the only remaining privately- owned lakeside lands on the west shore of Frenchman’s Bay. Area neighbours Craig Bam- ford, Judy Scott Jacobs, and Alan May are among those to raise concerns about the possi- ble sale to private interests. The trail currently heads north around those properties, connecting to West Shore Boulevard via Surf Avenue. But if acquired by Toronto Region Conservation (TRC), those lots would provide the last link from Petticoat Creek to West Shore, said Larry Field, TRC water- front specialist. “We’re working very actively with the City of Pickering to try and achieve this key piece of property,” he said. “It’s consis- tent with what is in the Pickering waterfront plan, but it’s in an open market now, with free mar- ket competition.” The TRC has spent the last 30 years buying up what land it could along Pickering’s water- front for the trail, Mr. Field said. When the owner of these two lots died a few years ago and willed the property to several charities, the TRC entered into discussions with the manage- ment trust company. “But it wasn’t accepted. The charities weren’t happy with our price,” he said. ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Pickering citizens Judy Scott Jacobs and Alan May are among those pushing for public ownership of two proper- ties that are currently on the market in the West Shore com- munity. They believe acquisition of the properties would benefit the Millennium Waterfront Trail. Durham board losing more leaders Trbovich, Freedman say goodbye BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Two more public school board superin- tendents are retiring, continu- ing an exodus of top officials that began about 18 months ago. The Durham District School Board at Monday’s meeting announced the retirement of programs superintendent Bev Freedman, at the end of Janu- ary, and business superinten- dent Ron Trbovich, who leaves in six months. They are the fourth and fifth RON TRBOVICH ‘Feeling pretty good about my small contribution.’ Interest builds for lakeside properties Student leaders look to the future BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —High school students from across southern Ontario kept a tight schedule last weekend in Ajax. The students attended a lead- ership conference at Pickering High School, turning the facility into a hotel and conference cen- tre for 137 delegates, 50 leader- ship developers and 20 execu- tives. The annual event was orga- nized and run by the central east region of the Ontario Secondary School Stu- dents’ Association. It included motivational speakers, entertain- ment and leadership sessions and provided an opportunity for students to make new friends. Survey shows 23 per cent plan to boost staff levels in early 2003 DURHAM —Things are warming up on the job front. More local businesses plan to hire in January, Feb- ruary and March than last year during the same period, according to the first-quar- ter employment outlook sur- vey by Manpower Inc. “Twenty-three per cent of firms queried plan staffing level increases, 17 Durham firms in hire spirits See LAST page A4 See EMPLOYERS page A2 See PICKERING page A4 See DURHAM page A2 See TOMORROW’S page A4 BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM –– Taxpayers are re- sponding in droves to a letter-writing campaign opposing the proposed re- gional headquarters, says the manager of the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce. The chamber, along with the Claring- ton Board of Trade, the Newcastle/Bondhead Ratepayers Asso- ciation and the Beaverton and District Chamber of Commerce mailed out 15,000 leaflets to north Durham resi- dents encouraging them to voice their opposition to the headquarters, expected to cost about $70 million. “We’ve had about 1,400 faxes, 143 letters plus another seven or eight hun- dred collected over the summer,” said Bob Malcolmson, the chamber’s man- ager, last Tuesday. Five development firms are currently putting together proposals for the new building based on 290,000 square feet with an option for an additional 40,000 square feet to accommodate a police headquarters in the building. But details of the exact cost of the project and how it will be financed are still unanswered. The building would replace about 251,000 square feet of space currently leased by the Region in a number of Durham locations and allow for future growth. However, the chamber and some politicians debate whether all the offices included in the 251,000-square foot estimate could actually be consoli- dated in a new building. The City of Oshawa also sent out a letter stating the proposed headquarters would significantly increase taxes while providing no benefit to taxpayers. The mailout campaigns have drawn criticism from Regional Chairman Roger Anderson and other headquarter supporters who say the flyers unfairly represent the project. “I find it amazing Oshawa or the chambers of commerce can make their decisions without the facts. Regional council will not make their decision until they have all the facts,” the chair- man told Uxbridge and Scugog council- lors during a presentation last Monday. Uxbridge Mayor Gerri-Lynn O’Con- nor agreed, adding the mailout is “rub- bish.” Mr. Clapp said until the developers submit their proposals, the actual costs and financing details will not be known. Mr. Malcolmson says that is exactly the point of the business groups and the City of Oshawa. To date $350,000 has been spent in consultant fees and hono- raria to the developers in addition to sig- nificant staff time. This far into the process there should be answers, he says. The details of the developers’propos- als and a report outlining the costs is ex- pected to go to council in January. board supervisory officers (SO) to re- tire or announce their retirement in the last 18 months. A sixth, operations su- perintendent Craig Burch, was ap- pointed last week as the board’s in- coming director of education and leaves his post in two months. The public board has 10 superinten- dents. “Obviously it’s time to move on and look for new challenges and an ability to be able to influence education in a way that I believe education needs to be influenced,” Ms. Freedman said in an interview. She applied for the education direc- tor’s job here and suggested the fact she didn’t get the post was a factor in her leaving. “My vision and what the trustees wanted obviously wasn’t a match and Craig was obviously a match for what they wanted,” said Ms. Freedman. She plans to seek contract work with the Education Ministry or higher learning institutions, noting “there are lots of opportunities”. Ms. Freedman is in her 10th year with the board. Mr. Trbovich will have spent over six years with the board when he leaves. In an interview he said he is seeking new opportunities in the business sec- tor and possibly elsewhere. “The finances of the board are in great shape,” he said, adding he is “feeling pretty good about my small contribution and the six years I’ve been there.” Former Oshawa schools superinten- dent Kaye Egan left the board at the end of the 2000/01 school year. Oper- ations SO Norm Powers retired five months ago and Gail Elliott, the Ajax schools and special education SO, leaves at the end of this year. Trustees acknowledged the loss of experience the officials represent, but said they were confident existing board personnel could take over the top spots. “It’s a concern because it seems that the history of the board is in a big shift,” board vice-chairman Marilyn Crawford said in an interview. She said the officials are taking ad- vantage of the ability to retire and ac- cess their pension at a relatively young age, noting “some of our staff have been worked hard... and they see the light at the end of the tunnel.” Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper said SOs are generally near the end of their career when hired and there’s nothing unusual about the rash of re- tirements. “There’s always a large turnover of superintendents, it happens all the time,” she said. “I don’t think you need to read any- thing into it,” Trustee Hopper added. Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Lo- raine said “a significant base of experi- ence (is) going out at this time.” She, too, has confidence in existing personnel, noting the board has not hired an outside superintendent in sev- eral years, which she termed “unusu- al”, compared to other boards. “The side that is encouraging has been the quality of supervisory officers that we have seen come through the ranks of this board,” she said. But, trustees said the board is losing some of its brightest lights and it will have an effect on the system. “When you lose that much experi- ence it does take time to reacquire that depth of knowledge and ability to have the same level of efficiency within the operation,” said Trustee Loraine. Trustee Crawford speculated the board would announce replacements for the two in December, while Mr. Burch said it would be “hopefully Jan- uary”.

Ontario Problem Gambling Helpline – 1-888-230-3505 per cent project a reduction and 60 per cent expect no changes during the winter months,” said Kim Murray, branch manager of Manpower Inc. in Pickering. Those numbers are slightly up from the same period a year ago. Only 10 per cent of employers in Durham predicted personnel gains for the start of 2002, while 14 per cent expected cutbacks. Canadian employers are more di- vided over their hiring plans, Man- power Inc. reports. While 15 per cent envision new opportunities, 16 per cent predict reductions. Another 67 per cent anticipate no change, while the remaining two per cent are unsure. That’s similar to last year’s nation- al picture at this time, said Steve Walker, Manpower vice-president and general manager. “First quarters are traditionally the tightest period of the year,” he said. “The outlook is not as upbeat as the moderate forecast issued for this year’s end when 24 per cent planned to add workers and 14 per cent said they would decrease the size of their staff.” Public administration is expected to be the strongest category, with 26 per cent of employers planning new hires in the first three months of 2003. Only two per cent foresee cutbacks. Employment opportunities in edu- cation continue to grow as 20 per cent plan to hire more workers. Finance, insurance and real estate are expecting an upturn with 17 per cent of employ- ers reporting new job openings.

Durham Regional Police learned of the incident after offi- cers responded at 11:30 p.m. to a collision on Kingston Road, east of Harwood Avenue in Ajax, and found the driver bleeding heavily from multiple knife wounds. Police spokesman Dave Selby said the victim, also 47, was ap- parently trying to drive himself to hospital when his westbound car hit a centre median. “There was a substantial amount of blood loss. Blood was on his clothes. It appears that he was heading to (Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering) hospital when he possibly lost conscious- ness or passed out,” Mr. Selby said. The vehicle came to rest facing west on the eastbound lanes, he said. The man was rushed to the Ajax hospital with critical injuries and transferred to St. Michael’s Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. He is recovering in hospital and is expected to survive, Mr. Selby said. Investigation by 18 Division detectives revealed the victim was knifed during a “domestic dispute that turned very violent,” Mr. Selby said. He received multiple slash and stab wounds to his chest and upper body. An apartment the victim and his common-law wife share on White Oaks Court in Whitby was sealed as a crime scene and exam- ined for evidence of the attack. The woman, who was on pro- bation, was arrested Monday in Oshawa. She is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, as- sault with a weapon, possession of a dangerous weapon and breach of probation. Police withheld her name to protect the victim’s identity, Mr. Selby said. The woman was detained pending a bail hearing. Stabbing victim crashes vehicle ...because education is important For further information on Community Newspapers in Education email us at newsroom@durhamregion.com This Week Canadian Statesman NEWS ADVERTISER Times-Journal it 905-683-7363 ‘No evidence’linking pair to MPP office attack BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––The lawyer for two men charged with the mock “eviction” of Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty’s con- stituency office in June 2001 has told a judge there is “no evidence” linking either of his clients to the rampage. Nineteen anti-poverty activists were originally charged with ransacking the Whitby riding office of Ontario’s then finance minister and dumping fur- niture, supplies and a mi- crowave oven onto Dundas Street June 12 of last year. The Crown dropped most of the charges, in- cluding those against John Clarke, 48, organizer of the controversial Ontario Coalition Against Poverty. The trial began last week for the two remain- ing accused and was ad- journed Friday until Dec. 17, when Judge Paul Bellefontaine will give his judgment. John Mura, 59, and Shawn Michael Brant, 37, both of Toronto, have pleaded not guilty to as- sault, causing a distur- bance and mischief over $5,000. Both men were identi- fied in court by Crown wit- ness Kimberly Glover, of- fice secretary, who testi- fied they were among a group of seven people that first entered the office, led by Mr. Brant. Mr. Brant complained about the impact of Tory policies on the poor and verbally abused Ms. Glover, she said. About 20 other protes- tors then flooded into the reception area, forced their way past the counter and began throwing supplies and furniture outside. Plants were ripped out of pots, anti-government posters pasted on win- dows, cabinets overturned, chairs hurled, graffiti spraypainted and a water cooler knocked down in a scene one witness de- scribed as “total destruc- tion.” Defence counsel Peter Rosenthal argued Friday there is no evidence Mr. Mura and Mr. Brant were among the group “that came there to destroy.” Local women get cosy at next meeting PICKERING — Get cosy and comfortable with your morn- ing coffee at an upcoming meet- ing. The Ajax- Pickering Chris- tian Women’s Club holds its next meeting Thursday, Nov. 28 from 9:30 to 11:15 a.m. in Gallantry’s Banquet Room on the lower level of the Pickering Town Centre.

While the focus was on leadership development, the theme of the conference was on the quality of education in high school. “I feel that I’ve had a good education and I don’t really have any complaints about it,” said Ben Nasmith, an OAC student at Pickering High. He said it’s not so much textbooks and class sizes that affect quality but the calibre of the teacher at the front of the classroom. In his experience “the quality of the instruction is still high.” Brandi Reader, a Grade 11 student at J. Clarke Richard- son Collegiate in Ajax, agreed. “It’s a matter of com- munication and co-operation between teachers and stu- dents, it has to be there,” she said. Brandi was hoping to “meet a lot of new people and get a lot of leadership skills” to bring back to her role on the school’s student council. The ‘double cohort’ is on the mind of senior high school students, so named because both Grade 12 and OAC stu- dents will graduate from On- tario high schools at the end of this school year. “I’m very worried,” said Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School Grade 12 student Sean Lagan, the central east region’s regional director. “In any other year, I think I’d probably get in (to university). Now, it’s a dog fight.” He said he’s conscious- ly worked harder to prepare for the increased competition and criticized the government for not effecting a smoother transition to the new four-year high school program. “There’s been a huge rush the last year,” said Mr. Lagan. Mr. Nasmith didn’t agree, saying the government has worked hard on the issue. One of the motivational speakers, Mike Bonnici, said he finds student conferences especially gratifying. “The student leaders are both ener- getic and anxious to be in- spired,” he said. “I couldn’t ask for a more accommodat- ing and rewarding audience than the ones I find each time I speak to them.” Mr. Bonnici spoke about ‘the freedom to become.’ “Its aim is to motivate stu- dents to use their freedoms to think and speak and act how- ever they want in order to take advantage of an even greater freedom that we have, but often overlook. That is the freedom to become. The free- dom that we all have to pursue our own potential,” he said. He challenged students to remove blindfolds, expressed in phrases like, ‘I can’t,’ or ‘I don’t care,’ which he said can be translated as ‘I don’t want to’ and ‘it’s too hard,’ respec- tively, “in order to realize their fullest potential.” of facilitating development would also be prohibited, and an archeological master plan would be developed for such sites and subject to approval from the appropriate First Nation. Coun. Brenner and Mr. Grey Eagle signed the report in council chambers following a smudge ceremony and a song to conjure up ancestral spirits. The report, if passed, won’t require Pickering to alter its bylaws or Official Plan, said Coun. Brenner. Rather, it will include First Nations as a com- menting agency on planning issues, much like the Durham health depart- ment, the Ministry of Environment and others. “By adopting this tonight, we hope to raise the bar for the inclusion of First Nations,” he said. But Coun. Pickles said details have to be worked out in the report through the advice of the City’s planners and solicitors, who haven’t had the chance to examine its proposals. A 120-metre zone may not be ap- propriate in all cases and Pickering could be in conflict with existing cemetery and heritage laws by pro- hibiting all exhumation and reburial, he said. All First Nations should be includ- ed and consulted because there could be some native groups who may wish to have their ancestor’s remains relo- cated, Coun. Pickles added. This angered Coun. Brenner, who called the referral motion, “the cow- ard’s way out”. But he quickly apologized for the outburst after Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan rushed to Coun. Pickles’ defence. “Every one of these four recom- mendations demands our unanimous support,” Coun. Ryan said. “But the fear is if we go forward without having our legal department look at it, the long sad history of treaties and broken promises will continue. “If we pass this now, the first time it is tested, it will go to the Ontario Mu- nicipal Board because it’s run afoul of the Cemetery Act or something and I don’t want you to come back and say these seven guys led us down the gar- den path again,” he said to Mr. Grey Eagle’s group. Coun. Ryan also referred to Coun. Pickles as an “expert” on such matters compared to the rest of council be- cause of his professional background. Coun. Pickles is a senior policy ad- viser, who has served with several government ministries, including the Ministry of Natural Resources and, most currently, the attorney general’s office.

TRAFFIC TICKET PEOPLE OPEN 4TH OFFICE IN GTA The Traffic Ticket People, a paralegal firm with three offices in the Toronto area, opened its 4th office in Ajax this week. The Traffic Ticket People are retired police officers and crown prosecutors who help people with their legal issues with traffic tickets, criminal charges, small claims actions, accident injury claims and immigration issues. The company has over 150 years worth of police and court experience represented by its former police officers and prosecutors. The company was formed 15 years ago when the owner and president Ed Blaha was a police officer in Downtown Toronto. “I saw a real need for affordable legal advise for the regular guy that found going to a lawyer too expensive,” says Mr. Blaha . Since then Ed and his company have helped thousands of people with traffic tickets and legal issues. The new office is located at 110 Ritchie Ave., in Ajax, which is one stop light north of Highway 401 on Westney Rd. Chris Conway, a retired traffic cop with 27 years experience with the Toronto Police and with the OPP runs the office. During his career Chris was radar officer/instructor, breathalyzer technician, and training officer for new officers. Chris worked as a detective and in the Hit and Run Squad. He received numerous commendations throughout his career and carries that professionalism in his practice at court for his clients. Chris can be heard Saturday mornings at 11 am on radio AM1350 where he hosts a weekly call in show on traffic tickets. Chris also works with Durham College where he teaches the Highway Traffic Act to students hoping to pursue a career in law enforcement.

The TRC put in an offer for the property when the call for offers offi- cially opened last Thursday, but Mr. Field said he’s re- ceived little news of the result. According to the minutes of a special Pickering council meeting Nov. 4, the City has pledged to help the TRC with up to a max- imum of $200,000 towards the purchase. Mr. Sanderson admitted he’s not sure of the actual procedure of sale in this case as it involves a trust company. But he said the trustees will likely con- vene a committee before taking the preferred offer to the owner chari- ties. “I do recog- nize the impor- tance of good communities,” he added.

Former premier Mike Harris, as one of many examples of Tories being soft on motorists, abolished photo radar the moment he stepped into office. His bizarre excuse was it violated their freedoms and was Big Brother watching them. The Tories under Mr. Harris and his successor, Premier Ernie Eves, have kept the brakes on installing cameras at busy intersections, which catches motorists driving through red lights, so they still are used only in scattered pilot pro- jects. The Tories, according to one suspicion, would not want some- one who may vote for them snapped driving in the wrong part of town with someone else’s wife. An earlier Tory premier, William Davis, said in the 1970s he would make fastening seat-belts compulsory after tests elsewhere showed they save lives, but hurried- ly reversed when car owners insist- ed they had a right to choose. Mr. Davis made buckling up compulsory only after he lost his majority and the opposition parties forced him to. One more example was when the Tories, in opposition under Mr. Harris in the early 1990s, pushed to force all cyclists to wear helmets to reduce head injuries, the most dev- astating form of injury for cyclists. But when the Tories became government, they back-pedalled and compelled only those under 18 to wear them and exempted older cyclists who can vote. This issue is now being re- opened, because research by a hos- pital and university has shown that since it became mandatory for young cyclists to wear helmets, head injuries among them have been reduced by 45 per cent. The Ontario Ministry of Trans- portation has found in the last year for which statistics are available nine cyclists were killed in Ontario and none was under 18. This should nudge the Tories to reappraise the idea of having all cy- clists wear helmets, which they once championed. To ry MPP Dianne Cunningham, who ran for leader against Mr. Har- ris and now is a minister, began in- troducing private member’s bills to force all cyclists to wear helmets in 1991, when the New Democrats were in government, after a son suffered severe head injuries while cycling. Those who supported her in- cluded parents who said their chil- dren would have lived if they had worn helmets. She was also backed by doctors drawing on their person- al knowledge of cyclist injuries and deaths but without much statistical evidence of how helmets prevent them. Opponents retorted helmets are big, ugly and uncomfortable, cy- clists love to feel the wind in their hair and wearing helmets would give cyclists a false sense of securi- ty, so they would take more risks. Others scoffed it would be just as logical to force cyclists to wear full body armour or pedestrians to wear helmets, because they might slip on ice. There were arguments police do not have the resources to catch all who cycle without helmets, people were tired of special-interest groups dictating to them and, yes, this would be another case of indi- viduals losing a right to control their own destinies. Ms. Cunningham’s legislation nevertheless was approved in a rare non-partisan vote and a date set for it to come into effect, but mean- while Mr. Harris defeated the NDP and became premier. Mr. Harris first said he would implement the law as planned, be- cause it was the will of the people, but then caved in and said it would apply only to under-18s. More than half adult cyclists still do not wear helmets, according to a recent survey, claiming they are uncomfortable or make them look geeky. Premier Eves now has valid rea- sons to force them to wear helmets. The issue never went away. The Liberals have their own bill waiting to be debated that would require all cyclists to wear helmets. Their scrappy chief whip, Rick Bartolucci, says they will force a vote on it. Either way the move to compel adult cyclists to wear helmets seems back on the road. Will Tories finally use their heads? Move to legislate helmets for adult cyclists back on the road Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 20, 2002 Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Give Eves a chance to make his own mark To the editor: Based on all the recent cover- age, when did the media become a member of the opposition here in Ontario? Ernie Eves left a lucrative and successful position in the private sector to step in and help the people of Ontario. He is not an uneducated man. He inherited is- sues he may or may not have agreed with, and on the hydro issue, when the hue and cry of the public showed their displea- sure, he changed course. It is understandable the oppo- sition will strongly disagree with any of his actions. That is their job. Even a chief executive offi- cer in the private sector is given a chance to show their mettle. Give the guy a chance and stop the negativity. Wa yne J. Senis, Pickering Columnist shows lack of respect To the editor: Re: ‘Seniors should roll on their own lane,’Neil Crone column, Nov. 13. In future, Mr. Crone, please write about something you know and understand. What it feels like to be old is impossible for you to understand until you get there yourself, should you survive that long. It’s easy for us to understand you, having been where you’re at now, young. One reason seniors drive slowly is that we’ve learned speed kills. We also pride ourselves on being law-abiding citizens. Ever drive through Pickering Village on Kingston Road, or Church Street, at the posted speed limit? It’s the aggressive and impatient younger drivers giving you the finger while they pass, not always safely either. I realize Mr. Crone was trying to be funny, because your column is titled ‘Enter laughing’. Seniors are not without humour, as we poke fun at ourselves in different ways. However, when a young person like Mr. Crone does it, it becomes offensive, derogatory and insulting. Old age and death is a fact of life to be accepted; we are quite aware we are living on borrowed time. Being reminded is depress- ing. A little respect and dignity as we travel towards the end would be nice. I once read a sign in Eastern Eu- rope on top of a huge steel ceme- tery gate, it said: ‘Do not walk thoughtlessly by, for we were what you are and you will be what we are.’Still think ridiculing seniors is funny, Mr. Crone?

The way we were DIL quilt For those working on the lines of the Defence Indus- tries Limited (DIL) ammunition plant, there was a strict dress code. Employees were required to wear specially provided ‘clean area’shoes and rings had to be removed or taped to eliminate the possibility of sparks or static in the buildings. Coveralls and cotton caps were provided for the men and the women wore smocks or coveralls and a cotton bandana to cover their hair. When the war ended, the girls gave their bandanas to Margaret Tannahill, who worked in the cafeteria of the cap and detonator department. She used the bandanas to make this quilt, which was do- nated to the Heritage Ajax Advisory Committee by her daughter in 1990.

Tobacco advertising, once prevalent in all forms of media, has now found its way into product placement on TV shows and in movies. That was part of the message delivered to Grade 7 and 8 Durham Region students during the sixth annual Teens Ta ckling Tobacco event at the Durham District School Board’s Education Centre. As part of a presentation on tobacco advertising, which has essentially been legislated out of existence by federal law over the past few decades, Durham public health nurse Mary Sue O’Connor pointed to the movies as one culprit. Ms. O’Connor said the family movie ‘101 Dalma- tions’has 299 images of tobacco in a film geared primar- ily to three- to six-year-olds. The need to find ways to reach under-20s is critical for tobacco companies as very few people apparently take up the habit once they pass age 20. Durham Region Health Department statistics from October 2000 show the number of teens who smoke be- tween the ages of 12 and 19 is static, at about 18 per cent since 1990. The tobacco companies have to keep or grow this mar- ket share to continue making a profit. It’s this prime tar- get group to which tobacco companies market. The only way to battle this insidious product place- ment advertising is to be self-aware. Combined with tele- vision anti-smoking ads that show the damage smoking has wrought on individuals and families, young people need the knowledge to protect themselves. “I know it’s bad for me... I don’t want to die from smoking,” said Alicia Guzzo, a Grade 7 student in Ajax. Grade 8 Whitby pupil Jessica Forrest added, “I won’t smoke.” And Daniella Peligra, a Grade 8 Pickering student said, “I’m so excited because when I go back (to my school) I can tell my friends, teachers and the rest of the school (what I learned).” The goal of preventing a potentially fatal habit from taking root is entirely laudable and deserves our support. It all comes down, as it does so often, to education. Teens, particularly, enjoy it when they are provided with information so they themselves can make intelligent choices. They’re not being told they can’t smoke, though it is illegal to sell cigarettes to anyone under 19, they’re just being informed of the ways in which the tobacco indus- try tries to hook them to a lifelong, unhealthy, habit. Armed with enough information and self-awareness, teens can make intelligent choices about tobacco use. The answer is to provide continuing education and apply pressure to the entertainment industry to stop glamoriz- ing cigarettes in productions.

BY NEIL McCALLUM Student Reporter, Durham College Opening in September 2003, the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology will offer a four-year Honours Bachelor of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering degree to help meet the needs of the double cohort – and the growing demand for en- gineers in this field. “Growing industrial develop- ment in Durham Region, the GTA and across the province is driving a major boost in the number of manufacturing engi- neers needed over the next decade,” says Dr. Marc Rosen, dean of the School of Manufac- turing Engineering at the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Te chnology. “Our university of- fers one of only two manufac- turing engineering degrees in the province. “When most students think of manufacturing engineering, they think of the automotive sector and they don’t realize that the field is really diverse,” says Dr. Rosen. “Manufacturing en- gineering provides job opportu- nities in almost every sector from aerospace and biotechnol- ogy to telecommunications, in- dustrial and commercial product manufacturing; even toys are manufactured.” Manufacturing in Ontario is a $290-billion industry, with one million people directly em- ployed and another one million indirectly employed by this sec- tor. Manufacturing accounts for approximately one quarter of Ontario's economy. With many manufacturing engineers ap- proaching retirement age, grad- uates are in high demand. According to Dr. Rosen, the University’s manufacturing en- gineering degree will provide students with engineering cre- ativity and design abilities through applied courses such as computer-aided design, solid mechanics, machines, robotics, mechatronics and quality con- trol, as well as a strong founda- tion in the fundamentals of mathematics and science. Man- agement courses are designed to prepare students for the progres- sion from technical to manager- ial positions. Students will also learn research, analytical, com- munication and teamwork skills. UOIT is Ontario’s first lap- top-based university and each student will use a current model of the IBM ThinkPad and bene- fit from fully networked class- rooms and learning spaces. State-of-the-art manufacturing and computer labs will provide students with plenty of practi- cal, hands-on experience in fluid mechanics, thermodynam- ics, robotics, kinematics and mechatronics. In addition to the undergrad- uate degree offered next fall, a graduate program in manufac- turing engineering is under de- velopment, as well as a 12- to 16-month internship program. “This voluntary program will give students an opportunity to gain real-world work experience after their third year, then return to complete their fourth year,” says Dr. Rosen. Research is an important part of the university’s School of Manufacturing Engineering and will focus on areas such as flex- ible manufacturing systems, ro- botics, mechatronics, micro- electromechanical systems, computer-integrated manufac- turing, high-performance manu- facturing, and efficient and envi- ronmentally conscious manu- facturing. "With the help of industry leaders, we will invest in re- search that will benefit the man- ufacturing industry now and in the future,” adds Dr. Rosen. Applying to the manufacturing engineering program Students interested in the manufacturing engineering pro- gram at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology require an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with a mini- mum average of 70 per cent and a minimum of 70 per cent in math and sciences.This in- cludes: ❑under the new curriculum, six 12U or M credits including English (ENG4U) with a 60 per cent minimum in advanced func- tions and introductory calculus, algebra, geometry, chemistry and physics, OR; ❑six OAC credits including English OA1 with a 60 per cent minimum, calculus, algebra, geometry, chemistry and physics. The Bachelor of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering has been developed to meet the requirements of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.

New university offers manufacturing engineering degree to help meet double cohort education and career demands Marc A. Rosen, Dean School of Manufacturing Engineering From 1986 until he joined the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in 2002, Profes- sor Rosen was a professor in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Industrial Engineering at Ryerson University. He was Chair, Department of Mechanical Engineering (1994-99), and Director, School of Aerospace Engineering (1992-94). Professor Rosen is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Western On- tario and the University of Victoria, and was an Adjunct Professor at Laval University, Department of Civil Engineering (1997-00). He is President of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engi- neering and a registered professional engineer in Ontario. In 1998 Professor Rosen was honoured with a certificate of service in recognition of outstanding service by the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering. In 1996 he was made a fellow of that society for achieving excellence in mechanical engineering, and in 1999 received Ryerson University's Distinguished Scholar Award. With more than 40 re- search grants and contracts, and 280 technical publications, Professor Rosen is an active re- searcher whose work has attracted funding from numerous industries and government agen- cies. He holds a B.A.Sc., an M.A.Sc. and a PhD from the University of Toronto.

Don’t leaves yourself out of the green equation, fill paper bags with your yard waste Pickering and Ajax have joined the communities that already encourage res- idents to ‘brown bag’ leaves to improve the quality of finished compost. Thousands of plastic bags cause op- erational problems at composting facili- ties. On windy days, shredded plastic also creates a litter problem. The time has come to promote the paper bag, which decomposes along with all organ- ic contents. After a lengthy deliberation in Pick- ering about whether to use a bio-degrad- able clear plastic or kraft brown paper bag, the final choice was paper. It was felt that as people are becoming more familiar with composting they associate paper and organics. Using open reusable rigid containers and bushel baskets are also acceptable. Next year, will our Durham communities follow Toronto’s 2001 policy change lead and accept yard trimmings and leaves only in kraft paper bags and reusable open rigid containers? This fall should be our only period of grace for clear plastic bags. The disposal of autumn leaves has al- ways challenged urban man. Scientists revealed burning a tonne of leaves pro- duces about 117 pounds of carbon monoxide, 41 pounds of particles (most of them smaller than 10 microns and easily absorbed into the lungs), and at least seven highly carcinogenic poly- cyclic hydrocarbons. Prior to the garbage crisis, we shoved leaves into green garbage bags. Enter the era of clear plastic bags and com- posting facilities. Even grass clippings were accepted until it was discovered green grass, when left rotting inside air- tight plastic bags, caused unbearable odours at composting facilities. Now we simply ‘grasscycle’by leav- ing the clippings to filter down and add nutrients to the lawn. Composting a lit- tle grass at a time, in a backyard com- poster is also an option. Why did we ever bag it all up in the first place? Many homeowners enjoy the quiet exercise of raking leaves. Some, includ- ing many yard maintenance crews, use leaf blowers. Is this the decade that we eliminate the leaf blowers? With its two-stroke engine emitting smog parti- cles at a rate 49 times more than that of a 2000 model car, the Ontario Medical Association estimates they cause 1,900 deaths per year in Ontario. One half- hour of using a leaf blower is equivalent to driving one full day. Durham’s long-term waste manage- ment strategy plan is to divert at least 50 per cent of our resources from Michigan landfill sites by 2007 or earlier. Whenever possible, backyard com- posting is still the best solution for man- aging your leaves. Composting provides a rich nutrient for your lawns and gar- dens. ❑ ❑ ❑ TAKE NOTE:At tomorrow’s first Block Parent appreciation night at the Pickering Civic Centre, organizers are providing a container for one of the leaders to take food scraps home to a backyard composter.

While there have been no reports of injuries, the plastic components of the pacifier can come apart and pose a potential choking hazard to infants and young children. The pacifiers were sold in packs of two and available with latex and silicone nipples. Latex pacifiers made of opaque plastic come in various three-colour combinations of pink, yellow, purple, green and blue. Silicone pacifiers made of translucent plastic come in various three-colour combinations of purple, pink, blue and green. Zellers has removed all Truly brand baby pacifiers from its stores and urges customers to stop using the pacifiers immediately and return them to any Zellers store in Canada for a full refund. Zellers takes its commitment and responsibility to its customers seriously, with respect to all of its private brand items. Should the Company discover a problem, it will take appropriate measures to bring the matter to the attention of customers and to correct the situation.

In October, seven of Durham’s eight municipalities, (the exception being Scugog) gave the go-ahead to the Region to create a regionwide bylaw. The Region required agree- ment by five of the municipalities to proceed. Wednesday, as the issue came to regional council for a final vote, councillors determined Durham’s local municipalities should have one more look at the final wording of the bylaw that, if approved, will ban smoking in public and work places except at legions and non-profit orga- nizations, beginning in June 2004. The bylaw would allow provisions for designated smoking areas in casi- nos, racetracks and bingo halls but not in bars, restaurants or work- places, all of which would have to abide by the smoking ban. Council deferred the vote until a meeting in February to allow munici- palities to provide further feedback on the final draft. But two Pickering councillors sug- gest this is simply a stall tactic on the part of councillors opposed to the bylaw. Councillors Mark Holland and Maurice Brenner say with changes to the municipal act taking effect this January, the bylaw will have to go through a more rigorous process in order to pass if council waits until the new year. Not only will it require a vote by regional council and consent from five of the eight municipalities but under the new act, the bylaw will also require a weighted majority vote at the local level to pass. “It’s a disgusting abuse of process,” said Coun. Holland, follow- ing the meeting. “They’ve abused the timing to get themselves out of mak- ing a very difficult decision. If the Region’s going to make a decision on a no-smoking bylaw they should have the courage to stand up and vote for it, not defeat it in shadows.” The two councillors intend to bring the issue back to be dealt with at Region’s next council meeting on Dec. 4. At the heart of the contention, is whether to include bars in the bylaw and the fact workplaces and bars would not be able to create designat- ed smoking rooms (DSRs). In giving their consent for the Re- gion to proceed with a bylaw, some of the municipalities had included recommendations that certain aspects be tweaked. Oshawa and Ajax had recommended allowing bars to create a DSR no greater than 50 per cent of the size of the bar. Oshawa also asked staff to investigate ventilation as an option. Robert MacArthur, an Ajax bar owner, told council designated smok- ing rooms “are not appropriate” in a bar situation because it separates people in what is supposed to be a so- cial situation. He said he would be willing to pay for the cost of ventilation improve- ments. He cited one study that indicates ventilation is a viable option. But Larry O’Connor, chairman of the health and social services com- mittee, said many studies say the op- posite and in reviewing all the studies the position of the medical officers of health of Durham, York and Toronto is ventilation is ineffective in elimi- nating the health hazards of second- hand smoke. Clarington council raised a con- cern that no DSRs will be allowed in workplaces. The council’s position is employ- ers should be allowed to create a sep- arate room within the building for employees who smoke. But the health department position is this would create an unlevel playing field for businesses that could not afford to create these rooms. Coun. O’Connor said the one thing the health depart- ment heard repeatedly in public con- sultation was the need for a level playing field. This is the one area where the bar owners agree with the health depart- ment. Above everything else they said, make the bylaw fair for all. Bar owners are very concerned with the decision to exempt non-prof- it clubs and legions from the smoking ban. The bar owners believe they will lose customers to those organiza- tions. If a bylaw must be made, they said, make it a bylaw for everyone. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 20, 2002 PAGE A11 A/P NE114A102 © 2002. Sears Canada Inc.

MAURICE BRENNER Wants issue brought back to Durham councillors Dec. 4. French in the future for some students? Catholic board struggles to hire teachers in specialized subjects BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham’s Catholic school board is still having a hard time finding qualified French teach- ers. “We just can’t get certified French teachers; it’s extremely difficult to get them,” Chris Hurst, the Durham Catholic District School Board’s su- perintendent in charge of human re- sources, said in an interview. “There’s only so many of them that go into the faculties (of education), and their first option is to go to a board where French is the first lan- guage.” He said the problem is a provincewide one, and boards are re- lying on uncertified educators to meet needs. Mr. Hurst released the board’s an- nual staffing report at last week’s board meeting. The board hired 86 teachers for the current school year, including 51 for the elementary panel and five French teachers. Last year the board hired 96 new elementary and 53 secondary teach- ers. In 2000, the board hired 100 new teachers. “This year, probably for the first time in a long time, at the beginning of the year we had a full complement of teachers,” said Mr. Hurst. His report noted elementary enrol- ment continues to decline. Mr. Hurst said the reality is that people are hav- ing fewer children and housing sub- divisions are not producing the stu- dent yield they once did. As well, he stated that with fewer students and no provincial money for teacher salary increases, “many boards waited to do their hiring until the summer (of) 2002, resulting in a larger number of teachers who con- tinue to remain available for hire.” At the secondary level, as the elimination of Grade 13 looms, Mr. Hurst said there will likely be more available teachers than job postings. In fact, with the exception of French teachers and possibly some science specialty subjects, the board does not think it will have to recruit new high school teachers for the next school year. Twenty-one, or almost one-quarter of the board’s new hires for the cur- rent year, came from the York Uni- versity faculty of education. The sec- ond largest pool of new educators, 13, came from out of the country, mostly New York State. The board’s occasional or supply- teacher complement is 180 certified and 120 uncertified teachers. That number is virtually unchanged from the previous year, when the board had 290 occasional teachers, however the number of uncertified teachers is down from the 182 the board report- ed in 2001. Thirty-six board teachers retired in 2001/2002 and 57 resigned. A year earlier, 48 teachers retired and 58 re- signed. In the 1999/00 year, 20 teachers retired and 60 resigned.

St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School Monarchs head coach Gordon Judges was named the NFL/CFL high school coach of the year Mon- day. He was one of 10 finalists for the award from across Canada. A panel of National Foot- ball League, Canadian Foot- ball League and Vanier Cup officials, as well as football journalists from across Cana- da, selected Judges. “Well, I’m honoured, I’m thrilled and a little humbled by it as well,” said Judges, a for- mer CFL player who has been the head football coach at St. Mary for the past three years, leading the Monarchs to the Durham senior title each sea- son. “It’s nice to get recognition, but for me the big payoff is seeing our kids playing the great game of football at a high level of proficiency and to see the excitement they get for the game and the things they learn from football: team- work, discipline and trying your hardest. In this day and age there are a lot of distrac- tions for kids to have fun,” he said. “It says a lot for these young men when they choose to play football. It’s not an easy game.” Judges also credits his sup- porting cast for his success. “Certainly, I’ve had a lot of help from the other coaches who coach at St. Mary and from the players. I’ve never had one problem with one kid in all the years I’ve been there. They were all just great,” he said. Gordon Smeaton, vice- president of NFL Internation- al, said Judges exemplifies everything the award repre- sents: a long-term commit- ment to coaching that goes be- yond the win-loss column. “Gordon Judges has in- spired a lot of young football players in Ontario, and we’re proud to recognize that,” said Smeaton in a release. The tangible reward for the honour is $7,500 worth of new football equipment for St. Mary. “I’m just really happy for St. Mary. We have a good foot- ball program at St. Mary and this will make it even better. Anytime you get new, good equipment, it’s a huge thing,” he said. Former Monarchs’ player Trevor Small, now a starting safety on the University of Guelph Gryphons varsity foot- ball team, nominated Judges. Small wrote in his essay of the time that his former coach put into making his players better. Judges was instrumental in helping Small decide to play university football. “Coach Judges not only cared about the team as play- ers, but as people. With sup- port and encouragement from Coach Judges I decided to give university football a chance,” wrote Small, who will be awarded $1,000 in funding for the University of Guelph foot- ball program. As part of the award, in its fourth year as part of the Vanier Cup festivities, Judges is invited to attend the Vanier Cup game and the other events surrounding it. He’ll be for- mally honoured at a luncheon in Toronto Friday. Although his son, James, graduated from the St. Mary football program a year ago, Judges expects to be back on the sidelines next year. “I would like to continue coaching. It’s my passion in life right now. Where it’s going to take me, I don’t know. I would be totally con- tent to stay at St. Mary,” he said. GORDON JUDGES NFL/CFL high school coach of the year. A.J.

Last-place Pickering junior club drops two more games PICKERING —The Pickering Boyer Pontiac Pan- thers came up empty against two of the league’s upper- echelon teams last weekend. The last-place Panthers hosted the first-place Wex- ford Raiders at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday night, dropping a 6-4 deci- sion to the perennial power- house from Toronto. The Panthers were back on home ice Sunday, this time dropping a 4-3 score to the second-place Markham Waxers, a team they had de- feated earlier in the season. Pickering (5-19-3-0 for 13 points) continues to bring up the rear in the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s South Conference, tied for eighth and last spot with the Thornhill Rattlers. The story of the Markham game was the continued solid contribution of veteran goal- tender Scott Gray. He faced a whopping 57 shots and was able to keep his team in the game. In the opening frame, Markham peppered Gray with 19 shots and was suc- cessful in putting three goals behind him, all by that club’s vaunted forward line of Mark Menonte, Ryan Steane and Liam Bowen. Pickering responded in rapid succession in the mid- dle frame, with Peter Franchin and leading scorer James Gadon scoring less than a minute apart to cut the deficit to one. Markham, however, scored a power- play marker in the last minute of the period to take a 4-2 lead to the dressing room. Andrew Dissanayake made it 4-3 in the early going of the third period. The Wax- ers, however, didn’t allow an- other Panthers’ shot for the rest of the final frame. Adding assists against Markham were Corey Black, Brent Chandler and Rob Fos- ter. Against the Raiders, Gray again held the Panthers in the game, making 44 saves. Jamie Wright, Shawn Coultice, Gadon, and Franchin scored. The Panthers engage in a home-and-home series with the St. Michael’s Buzzers this weekend. The Buzzers are at the recreation complex Friday night at 7:30 p.m. The return date in Toronto is Sun- day at 7 p.m. Panthers’ goalie Gray under heavy fire Gymnast named alternate for February competition in Las Vegas PICKERING —A Picker- ing gymnast made her way on to the Ontario team travelling to a major U.S. meet next year after a solid performance at the 2002 Ontario Tour Selection Compe- tition at Gymnastics Missis- sauga last weekend. Tara Columbus, 16, was among gymnasts from all across Ontario vying for spots to repre- sent Ontario at the Las Vegas Cup, an international competi- tion in Las Vegas, Nevada, in February. Teams were selected in the provincial 3, 4 and na- tional open categories. Columbus started her com- petitive season with a consistent performance and was named to the Provincial 3 team as the first alternate, placing seventh out of 40 competitors. The Dunbarton High School high-performance athlete program student missed the top six by the smallest of margins, just five-one hun- dredths of a point. Columbus now turns her at- tention to earning a spot at the Eastern Canadian Champi- onships in Halifax, N.S. in May. This begins with three provin- cial qualifying competitions in the Metro East Region, the first of which takes place in Markham Nov. 30, followed by Feb. 15 in East York, and March 29 at Gemini Gymnastics in Os- hawa. The next step, the provincial championships in April, deter- mines the top four athletes in each division, who then go on to represent Ontario at the Eastern championships. Columbus conquers qualifying field SCOTT GRAY Goaltender keeps it close while facing a barrage of opposition shots. Miller, Barnes meet qualifying standards for championships PICKERING —Two elite Pickering swimmers are among the more than 350 ex- pected to take part in the Canadian Short Course Na- tional Swim Championships in Edmonton Nov. 28 to Dec. 1. Kurtis Miller and Warren Barnes, both 17, are among the five members of the Scarborough Swim Club to achieve the tough entry qual- ifications. Miller qualified in a vari- ety of distances in the freestyle, butterfly and back- stroke events at nationals. The Dunbarton High School student has done battle at this level for several years now. Meanwhile, Barnes, also a Dunbarton student, quali- fied to compete in three breaststroke events at nation- als. He’ll take time off from his co-operative education program with the Pickering Fire Department to represent his club and province. Pickering teens off to nationals Pickering’s Tara Columbus earned first-alternate status on the Ontario gymnastics team travelling to Las Vegas in February.

The Lightning, despite owning a 4-1 lead early in the second period of Satur- day’s meeting with the Avalanche du Quebec, allowed their game to come unglued in the late going. The hosts scored four unanswered goals to take a 5-4 victory at Mont St-Antoine Arena in Anjou, Que. Goals from Sandy Hustler, Jackie Jarrell and Lauren Wiggins gave Telus a quick lead 3-1 after the first period. Wiggins scored again early in the second period. After that point,however, the Avalanche completely dominated. In the end, the Quebecers outshot Telus by a wide 35-23 margin. The close loss was as good as it got for the Lightning, who played a week- end of games against Quebec competi- tion. Telus was blanked 6-0 Sunday by the Montreal Wingstar at Etienne-Des- marteaux arena. Last Wednesday, the Lightning went down to defeat 7-2 to the host Thunder at the Brampton Sports Centre. Unfortunately for the Lightning, many of the national team players who represented Canada at the recent Four Nations Cup Tournament returned to the Thunder that night. The Thunder led 2-1 after the first period and 5-2 after 40 minutes. Katie Quinn and Pam Hofmann had the Telus goals, with assists to Chris- tianne Tremills with two, Erin Rourke and Jackie Jarrell. The 0-13 Lightning continue to search for their first NWHL win.

GROEN/News Advertiser photo Pickering High School Trojans’ running back Romel Reid attempts to avoid Eastdale Eagles tackler Andrew Genge during the Durham junior football finals in Oshawa Saturday. The Trojans won 18-6. Defence rules the day as Trojans claim junior football championship Pickering High keeps undefeated record intact in 18-6 win over Eastdale AJAX —The Pickering High School Trojans marched off with the Durham junior football title in impres- sive fashion Saturday afternoon. Pickering High rode a strong defen- sive effort all the way to an 18-6 victo- ry over Oshawa’s Eastdale Collegiate Eagles in the Lake Ontario Secondary Schools Athletics (LOSSA) champi- onship game, played under cold and blustery conditions at Oshawa Civic Stadium. The Trojans (9-0), led from start to finish and could have scored an even bigger victory, had the officials not called back two touchdowns, noted Trojans’ offensive coach Rick Shea. “They were very suspicious calls,” he said, noting one negated a 40-yard run in the first quarter, and the other was a 40-yard pass-and-run play in the third. “One was called a clip; It just wasn’t a clip.” Apart from questionable officiat- ing, Shea noted the Trojans put togeth- er a solid, all-round effort to capture the title. He praised the work of the defence that continually stuffed the Eagles’, keeping it off the scoreboard until the last minute of the fourth quarter. And, the Trojans’ defence also added to the scoreboard, with free safety Stephen Lopez recovering a fumble and ram- bling 40 yards into the end zone in the second quarter. “We had a great game defensively. We held them scoreless for most of the game. I thought our defence did a good job,” said Shea. The Trojans opened the scoring in the first quarter with Romel Reid rum- bling into the end zone from four yards out. Lopez’s defensive touchdown gave Pickering High a 12-0 cushion at halftime. In the third quarter, quarterback Darren McCloy hooked up with Lopez for a passing play that covered about 40 yards for the touchdown and an 18- 0 lead. Pickering High will field a junior team next season, and there’s also talk of resurrecting the senior team, Shea said. The school didn’t field a team this season due to a dearth of coaches. “We’re leaning toward having a se- nior team next year,” he noted.

The Durham Region Folk Circle began in August and now has about 15 members “and we’re growing,” said founder Fred Brown. What they enjoy “is our com- mon love for acoustical music”, he added. Brown started the group after moving to Ajax in the spring and couldn’t find a group dedi- cated to folk music. He’d been looking for a place where any- one could join in and “strum along. It’s hard for a new guitar player.” He’s been a member of the Brampton Folk Club for about five years. “I’m still a full member of the Brampton Folk Club,” he noted. “When I came out here, I was going to call it the Ajax Folk Club. I took a lot of my lead from the Brampton club. “I love 1950s and ‘60s rock ‘n’ roll. Those guys we can play with, like Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Paul Simon. It’s more acoustic music. Other than bass, everyone plays acoustic.” “We sit in a circle, hence the name. It’s meant for amateurs, but professionals are welcome. It’s for pure entertainment.” Circle member Ron Marshall found the group had what he was looking for. “We’re like-minded, get to- gether and sing old country tunes,” Marshall noted. He joined “because I was looking to expand my skills as a budding guitar player. These are all people of different levels of experience.” Marshall began playing gui- tar four years ago. However, without some tutoring “you hit a wall after a while”. Being around some of the circle members and being ex- posed to their talents “takes you to the next level as a player”, he added. There’s also “camaraderie from people who get together to play guitar,” he stated. “It gives us a chance to grow as players.” “I wish I had thought of it. I’m glad Fred did. I’m only lim- ited by my experience.” The group had been meeting monthly at a member’s home, but starting next week, Monday, Nov. 25, it gathers at the Ajax branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, 111 Hunt St. It has even arranged a “gig”, performing a Christmas concert Dec. 7 for a horticultural club, although it will only include a few circle members, Brown said. “The money will go into the club’s coffers to buy more music stands and books,” he said. He noted the Brampton club has “successfully done shows” and has bought a PA system for performances. “I hope to do that out here.” The Brampton club holds an annual concert and “eventually, we’ll do one out here, but we’re too new.” When the circle gets together “it’s kind of like a jam session.” For more information, call Brown at 905-427-8479. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 20, 2002 PAGE B3 A/P Art ShowArt Show FALL ART SHOW AND SALE NOVEMBER 22, 23 & 24, 2002 WATERCOLOUR, GOUACHE, PASTEL, PENCIL, ACRYLIC, OIL, PEN & INK, MIXED MEDIA, ORIGINAL ART CARDS We’ve Got Your Size Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING Doctors claim walking is the BEST exercise you can do.

Hope Community Church hosts Toronto’s Sovereign Voice for a night of Broadway show tunes, including songs from productions such as Hair, Godspell, Miss Saigon and Lés Miser- ables. The show is Saturday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. in Maple Ridge Public School, 2010 Bushmill St., Pickering. Admission is free and there is also a kid’s program. Soprano sings after earning choir honour DURHAM ––When callers phone Patricia Castanos’s place of em- ployment, it is her rich, warm, classically trained voice that answers. Having recently received a scholarship from the Durham Phil- harmonic Choir, it is no surprise the 23- year-old recep- tionist identi- fies the compa- ny she works for with such style. “I’m a sopra- no, trained clas- sically but I also sing con- temporary,” she says. “And I love Spanish music. I’ve been told my voice has mezzo-soprano- like qualities.” Another scholarship helped the Whitby resident attend and grad- uate from Wil- fred Laurier University last June with an honours degree in music and vocal perfor- mance. The lat- est scholarship from Durham Philharmonic, she says, will help her further her studies. Ms. Cas- tanos started singing in church, then took lessons and participated in school (An- derson Colle- giate) produc- tions. Before going to university, she was also a member of the Durham Phil- harmonic Choir. The Young Musi- cians Scholar- ship from the group adds to her awards, in- cluding a pres- tigious Royal Conservatory of Music ‘silver’ for singing. “And now I’m singing with them (Durham Phil- harmonic Choir) again,” she says of the choir. “I’m also teaching voice privately and at Walters Music in the Oshawa Centre. Ms. Cas- tanos says she isn’t sure in which direction the scholarship will take her yet but that it will contribute to furthering her studies. She will be a guest soloist at the Durham Phil- harmonic Choir Christmas pre- sentation - ‘A Continental Christmas’ - on the weekend of Dec. 7-8 at St. George’s Angli- can Church, Oshawa. DURHAM ––Tenor Mark Dubois joins Dr. Benjamin Ho and friends in the ninth annual benefit Christmas concert for the Oshawa General Hos- pital Foundation. Dubois, a noted lyric tenor, per- forms at the annual concert for the first time. He’s performed with every major orchestra in Canada and several in the United States. He’s garnered rave re- views whether he’s singing opera, op- eretta, oratorio, lieder, baroque, Broadway or modern musical theatre. Also new to the concert is Gisele Fredette, who has performed on televi- sion, film, radio, and musical theatre. Making return visits are pianist Wan Li, who performs Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff piano concertos with the Festival Players Orchestra, and soprano Xiaoping Hu, who won the 1983 International Singing Com- petition in Budapest and performs throughout Asia and Europe. Dr. Ho will sing. The singers will be accom- panied by John Charles Coolen. The concert is Saturday, Dec. 14 at Trinity Pentecostal Church, 900 King St. E., at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 each for general seating or $150 for four premium reserved seating, a mention in the program and a tax receipt.

Routine care: Scrape away corrosion from posts and cable connections; clean all surfaces; tighten all connections. Avoid contact wit h corrosive deposits and battery acid. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves. If battery caps are removable, check the fluid level monthly. Note that removal of cables can cause damage or loss on some newer vehicles. Check your manual before you begin any work. •Exhaust System- Have your vehicle placed on a lift and the exhaust system examined for leaks. Inspect the trunk and floorboards for small holes as well. Remember exhaust fumes are deadly. •Tires- Worn tires will be for little use in the winter weather. Examine tires for remaining tread life, uneven wearing, and cupping; check the side walls for cuts and nicks. Check tire pressure once a month. Be sure to let the tires “cool down” before checking the pressure. Rotate as recommended. Don’t forget your spare, and be sure the jack is in good condition. AJAX —The local ReelMoms group, which brings together new moms and their babies for first-run movies, meets tomorrow for a date with Santa. The first 100 moms view ‘Santa Clause 2’ at 1:30 p.m. at Ajax Cineplex Odeon. Should there be more than 100 moms, a second theatre will be opened for a showing of Sweet Home Al- abama,’ while My Big Fat Greek Wedding is on the bill should a third theatre be re- quired. Theatres pro- vide extra change tables for the group and free stroller parking. In addition, vol- ume is kept to a minimum to pro- tect young and sensitive ears, and lights are kept low to allow for breastfeeding. Dads and grand- parents are al- lowed at the shows. The cost is $5.50 for adults. Moms meet for movie Fulfil your desires with fund-raising performance of classic play DURHAM ––Here’s the chance to get some great Christmas presents and help children and their families involved in family court. Durham Family Court Clinic and Oshawa Little Theatre are working together on a Feb. 19 ben- efit performance of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’. The famous play, which won a Pulitzer Prize for playwright Ten- nessee Williams, is set in the French quarter of New Orleans during the years following the Second World Wa r. The story centres on fragile Blanche DuBois, who comes to stay with her pregnant sister, Stella, and Stella’s husband Stanley. “This will be a wonderful evening out for our supporters,”said Sylvia Pivko, executive director of DFCC. “It is a chance to enjoy local theatre while helping to raise money for a very worthwhile cause.” DFCC helps children, youth and families who are involved in family court. The non-profit organization matches children and families with community resources or provides services when none are available. The play is performed at 8 p.m. at Oshawa Little Theatre, 62 Rus- sett Ave., Oshawa. Ti ckets are $15 with proceeds going to support the court clinic’s ‘seeds of hope –– the promise of a brighter future for our kids’ cam- paign. Blocks of seats are available for this benefit performance. Both organizations suggest tick- ets as Christmas gifts for friends, families or colleagues. To b uy tickets, call DFCC at 905-436-6754 and ask for Julie. Career Training500 CLASS A, D, AND Z Endorse- ment training at Durham Col- lege Whitby. Job opportunities for graduates.

Dr. John Sinclair Morrison, husband of the late Dr. Irene Ste- wart Morrison. Incredible father of the late Brian, Jacqueline and her husband Wayne Daub of Parry Sound and Patricia and her husband Stephen MacNeil of Ajax. Beloved grandfather of Jennifer, Brianna, Victoria, Johnnie, Alison and Charlotte. John was a a gentle, kind loving person with a great sense of humour. Born in 1921 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, he came to Canada as a young boy, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba. At the age of 18, he joined the army and fought for Canada in World War II. After the war was over, John attended the University of British Col- umbia where he received his BA, B.Ed. and M.A. He later received his M.Ed from Boston University and P.H.D. from the University of Toronto. He became a teacher, principal, and a head master before going into the Correc- tional field where he became the Vice Chair- man of the Ontario Parole Board (Central) until 1986. John always had a joke and a smile, enjoyed life and a good drink. His pass- ing has come as quiet a shock; however, it is exactly as he would have wanted it. We love you Dad and will miss you forever. A private family ceremony has already taken place. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Multiple Sclerosis Society in honour of his late wife.

So we are introducing new legislation to get rates down. Lower fixed rates and refunds • Effective December 1, 2002, the price of power would be lowered to 4.3 cents per kilowatt hour - the rate that existed prior to May 1. • This rate would be frozen until at least 2006. • The 4.3 cent price would be retroactive to May 1, 2002, with the difference between what you paid since May 1 and what you would have paid at a frozen price of 4.3 cents/kWh refunded to you. • Even consumers who signed fixed contracts for higher prices would pay just 4.3 cents. • Consumers would benefit from the price of delivery being capped at current levels. Two things we’re doing to lower your hydro bill. 1 We’re going to keep it down: Short-term relief is not enough. So our action plan also has longer-term provisions designed to keep bills down in the future. Stimulate new electricity supply Ontario’s electricity supply has played a key role in our enduring economic success. And to ensure it continues to do so, here are some of the longer-term measures that would stimulate new supply as well as help the environment: • Ensure an increased supply of electricity from Niagara Falls by proceeding with the expansion of the Sir Adam Beck Generating Station. • Comprehensive tax incentives given to help create more electricity from cleaner, alternative and renewable energy sources. 2 You should be able to count on stable and reasonable hydro bills. Our action plan ensures it for the present and the future. From now on, the only reason your hydro bill would increase is if you use more power. And that’s precisely how it should be. For more information or to receive the full details of our action plan, visit us online at www.energy.gov.on.ca or call 1-888-668-4636.
