Cyanide killed woman: Crown See PICKERING page 5 Pickering decides against muzzling bylaw, citing problems in Oakville BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —Dog lovers can breathe a sigh of relief — for the time being. Local councillors have rejected an amendment to the City’s dog and cat bylaw that would have re- quired mandatory muzzling for dogs that bite a person or another domestic animal. Pickering’s committee of the whole decided Monday night it Bylaw bites off more than City can chew Murder trial of Pickering man continues BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––Hemoutie Raghunauth had 64 times the lethal amount of cyanide in her blood when she died on Mother’s Day 2000, her husband’s murder trial has heard. Blood samples from the Pickering woman also detected high levels of the sedative Temazepam in Mrs. Raghunauth’s blood, six times above the thera- peutic dosage prescribed for chron- ic insomniacs, an expert testified. To xicology tests found Mrs. Raghunauth, who was eight to 10 weeks pregnant when she died, had 6.4 mgs of cyanide per 100 mls of blood in her system, Dr. Robert Langille, a forensic toxicologist, told court Wednesday. One-tenth of a milligram is fatal, said Dr. Langille, of the Centre for Forensic Sciences, who tested sam- ples taken during an autopsy on the victim. The Crown is alleging Mrs. Raghunauth, 28, was drugged with Temazepam, sold under the brand name Restoril, before she was poi- soned with cyanide by her husband, Ganesh Raghunauth, in their Beat- on Way home. Mr. Raghunauth, 31, has plead- ed not guilty to first-degree murder. Dr. Langille described to the jury of eight men and four women how the drug-poison cocktail would have sedated and then killed Mrs. Raghunauth, the mother of a 15-month-old boy. The level of Temazepam, which was not enough to cause a fatal overdose, would have incapacitated Police say elderly woman lost $80,000 BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer AJAX ––A woman is charged with swindling her el- derly mother out of her life sav- ings, draining the victim’s bank accounts while she was in hospi- tal. Committing fraud is one thing, “but stealing from your own mother, especially when she’s ill, is pretty low,” said De- tective Jack Schoon. The 83-year-old victim lost in excess of $80,000 to the fraud, said Det. Schoon, of the Durham Regional Police major fraud unit. Daughter charged after senior bilked of life savings See MOST page 2 See DEADLY page 4 “Most of her entire savings were taken, none has been recovered,” he said, adding the ailing senior was left with roughly $10,000 in the bank. Her 55-year- old daughter, who was arrested Tues- day after an inves- tigation, is ac- cused of stealing, forging and cash- ing a cheque from her mother’s ac- count. Another cheque, one of three signed by her mother in- tended for invest- ment and bills, was allegedly cashed and pock- eted by the woman. A jar stuffed with $300 cash, money the 83- year-old woman had been saving for her grand- daughter, also went missing while the victim was in hospital last August suffer- ing from kidney failure, said Det. Schoon. The daughter holds a clerical po- sition at a Toronto hospital and was staying at her mother’s Ajax condo- minium during the week. On week- ends, she would return to her Min- den residence, where she lives with her husband. “The mother came out of the hospital and realized things were out of order. Her son checked on her affairs and found all the money was gone,” said Det. Schoon. The frail senior is now living with her son in the Ottawa area. The woman, who was not named by police to protect the victim’s identity, was released with a promise to appear in Oshawa court Feb. 6.

Decision on new Durham headquarters due Wednesday Substandard buildings threaten employee health: Union official BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––While politi- cians debate the finances of a new regional headquarters the story for employees is one of mice and mould, says the union’s president. “Finding a dead mouse around my desk was not an un- common occurrence,” Helen Gibb-Gavel, president of CUPE 1764, which represents more than 1,000 regional employees, recalled at a joint works and fi- nance committee meeting Wednesday. The committee approved a report to move forward with a new $68-million Regional headquarters to amalgamate leased office space throughout the region. Ms. Gibb-Gavel spoke of “mice and bugs” in an office lo- cated in a converted warehouse back in the early 1990s. Em- ployees moved from there to Bond Towers in Oshawa where she said, “the parking lot leak- ing onto desks, poor air quality from hair perm solutions (from a neighbouring hairdresser), diesel fumes and vibration problems” were part of the workplace atmosphere. When that facility closed, employees were moved to 850 King St. E. where “sewage pipes bursting over the file room meant entire client files had to be freeze dried” to be used safely. Now, she added, employees at another facility, 60 Bond St., are dealing with a recurring mould problem that has been “costly” for the Region to repair and are still being monitored due to ongoing air quality prob- lems. The problems began when the Region, with headquarters at 605 Rossland Rd. E., in Whitby was formed in 1974, Ms. Gavel said. “Due to the re- stricted space at this facility the Region was forced to lease space across the region in tem- porary locations. After 29 years the Regional works department is still in its temporary leased location. Other offices, she adds, have been moved several times, resulting in a “piece- meal” delivery of services. At Wednesday’s meeting, the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, the most vocal opponent to a new headquar- ters, told council it has not had enough time to digest the pro- posal released Friday, Jan. 10, for building a new headquarters on the Rossland Road/Garden Street property. However, the chamber’s concern about the economic impact on Oshawa, was briefly addressed by Fi- nance Commissioner Jim Clapp. He said the City’s downtown has 6,000 workers and only 180 of them are regional employees. And he added, “Possibly, if we move out somebody else is going to move as Oshawa has a high demand for office space.” The Durham Home Builder’s Association, previ- ously opposed to the new head- quarters, reversed its position after reviewing the Jan. 10 re- port. The association deter- mined the new building will not result in a tax increase for homeowners and will not mean new development charges, said DHBA president Narci Mas- troianni. The report will come back to full regional council next week for a final vote despite efforts by some politicians to delay the decision. Ajax councillor Jim McMas- ter asked for the report to be tabled until Feb. 12 to allow the town time to hold a public meeting while Clarington Mayor John Mutton asked for a tabling until some questions put forward by that municipality and Oshawa could be answered. Oshawa council is on the record as being in opposition the construction of a new head- quarters. Mr. Clapp told politicians the report had been reviewed by Moody’s Investor Services, which confirmed construction would not affect the Region’s Triple A credit rating. As well, he said, the report had been peer-reviewed by C.N. Wa tson and Associates Ltd with technical expertise provided by Cansult Hanscomb Projects Inc. According to the report, the Re- gion will begin saving as much as $500,000 in 2005, the first year the new headquarters opens. Nutrition tops agenda for diabetes group PICKERING —An upcoming meeting will help diabetics find the path to a healthy lifestyle. The Canadian Diabetes Associa- tion Durham Region Branch support group holds its next meeting Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Petticoat Creek Library and Community Cen- tre, 470 Kingston Rd., in Pickering. Guest speaker Susan Cable, a nu- tritional practitioner, will discuss the necessary path to healthy living with those in attendance.

An indi- vidual would have difficulty staying awake... They would have difficulty making deci- sions, their whole mental ca- pacity would slow down,” said Dr. Langille, adding the drug would lead to loss of co-ordination and motor skills. “The more likely scenario is the Temazepam was con- sumed sometime prior to the cyanide... It (the cyanide) would have killed quickly,” he said. Death by cyanide –– which virtually suffocates a person by choking off the flow of oxygen from the blood to internal organs –– happens in several stages. “Cyanide... is one of the most rapid poisons which can cause death within sec- onds or minutes... With such a large dose in an individual (death) would be fairly rapid,” Dr. Langille said. Cyanide can come in salt form and can be diluted in water. When ingested, a person would feel burning in the mouth and throat followed by a headache, stiff neck, dizziness, confusion and nausea, the jury heard. Rapid and shallow breathing, convulsions and possibly paralysis would occur as the heart rate slowed as a result of oxygen starvation. “Death is almost always due to respiratory collapse. They simply stop breathing,” Dr. Langille said. Since she had food in her stomach, Dr. Langille said Mrs. Raghunauth likely died within a few minutes to an hour after the cyanide was introduced. Analysis of Mrs. Raghu- nauth’s stomach contents also detected high levels of cyanide –– 1.8 mgs per 100 mls of stomach contents, he added. Dr. Langille said he as- sisted the Durham Regional Police forensic identification unit in the search of the cou- ple’s residence for evidence. An empty windshield fluid jug found in the garbage outside the home tested positive for the pres- ence of cyanide fumes, Dr. Langille said. Mr. Raghunauth called 911 at 2:22 p.m. May 14, 2000 and reported finding his wife unconscious on the bathroom floor. He told po- lice he was out buying her a Mother’s Day gift. She was pronounced dead at 3:05 p.m. The trial continues be- fore Justice Robert Scott of Ontario Superior Court.

But Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner said afterwards he plans to bring the issue forward again in the future. “I’ll review what options are available to ensure the in- terests of (my constituent) are addressed as well as the criti- cisms from the justice of the peace,” he said. His push for a muzzling bylaw stems from a com- plaint from Cindy Mason, who said her son was bit by a neighbourhood dog Oct. 10. She claims the dog has bitten on three other occasions, but Pickering Ajax Whitby (PAW) Animal Services de- cided not to muzzle the ani- mal. Ms. Mason said she was told by PAW she could try to have the dog destroyed under the Dog Owner’s Liability Act but a justice of the peace refused to hear the case, stat- ing it should be dealt with by Pickering’s bylaw. Responding to the situa- tion, council decided in No- vember to strengthen the City’s dog and cat bylaw. It approved the mandatory muzzle order (until owners can prove they have the dog under control) and requested all dog bites be reported to the City so it may appeal through the courts to have the offending dog destroyed. However, the changes had to be discussed with PAW’s joint animal services commit- tee because Pickering was asking for a higher level of service than currently offered in Ajax and Whitby. The City of Pickering and towns of Ajax and Whitby fund PAW to administer animal control services to the three munici- palities. Mayor Wayne Arthurs said Monday night he agreed with the original intent of the bylaw amendment until read- ing the PAW report. It states only one municipality in the Greater Toronto Area has a muzzling bylaw — Oakville, and 75 per cent of its muz- zling orders are appealed. “We don’t have that kind of structure in the City,” he said. “It would have to come back to committee (here) be- cause we don’t have an ani- mal committee. I’m not ready to set that kind of stage.” Pickering is the only mu- nicipality involved in PAW requesting mandatory muz- zling, city clerk Bruce Taylor pointed out. But the joint ani- mal services committee has agreed to hear appeals should the City go that route, he said, until the number of appeals begins to “get out of hand”. At that point, Pickering must set up a committee to deal with them on its own, Mr. Taylor said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, January 17, 2003 PAGE 5 P ON SOFAS, KITCHENS, DINING ROOM, ENTERTAINMENT, BEDROOMS AND LEATHER FURNITURE WE WAVE THE ADMINISTRATION CHARGE O.A.C.FINANCING PLUS NO GST NO PST ON ALL 2003 MODEL FURNITURE 0% We Make It Easy To Purchase Quality! 1020 Brock Rd.S., Pickering Unit 1-4 (Just 1 Block S. of Hwy#401) 905-831-9846 CLEARANCE SALE W AREHOUSE AND FLOOR STOCK Bayly St. 1020 Brock Rd.

The editorial noted Durham Regional Police are trying to reduce impaired dri- ving, but a wave of offenders is creating a challenge. It is not the increasing amount of offenders who are causing such prob- lems, though they are at fault, but instead the challenge lies in the law itself. Last Thanksgiving weekend I was in- volved in a car accident. As the driver of the car at fault approached my car, it was clear he was intoxicated. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt. Even though the driver admitted to me and an officer that he was drinking and smoked a lot of pot, I was later informed by my insurance provider that the driver was not charged as the officers at the scene failed to put that he was intoxicated in the report. Though I will never know if he was over the legal limit when he was breathal- ysed, I do know that when one can barely talk or stand straight it’s a good indication they should not be behind the wheel. As stated in the editorial, even though there are no measurable levels for marijuana im- pairment behind the wheel, police officers can charge obviously stoned drivers. As citizens we expect justice to be served to those who don’t abide by the law. To the officers at the scene, no one likes to be woken by a call at 3 a.m. and told a drunk driver has hit a loved one. Next time that phone call might be for you. L. M.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JANUARY 17, 2003 I feel like I’m being pushed into retirement. Sure, I’m 56 years of age and I’ve been working 40 years, but I’m just warming up baby! I know more now than I have ever known. Things come a lot easi- er to me. No more self-doubt or worry about whether I made the right decisions. The past is the past. Today is what’s important to me, my wife, my children, my grandchild, my friends. I’m the first of the baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) and I have worked hard to get to this freedom stage in my life. I’m not retiring... hell, I don’t even know what I want to be when I grow up. My point is this: I am part of a generation that is being conned into thinking we are the past generation, when we are very much the present. The advertising media have got us thinking we should be retiring soon... over the hill. Never before has there been such a large demographic group that has had no model before them from pre- vious generations. We’ve got to wake up. For starters, we should retire the word retirement and get on with our lives, make forward-thinking plans like we always have. Stop our pre- occupation with retirement planning and make a new going-forward life plan that includes helping others with what we have learned. I’ve never seen such a large group of lost souls as people in their late 40s and early- to mid-50s. We all seem to be in the same state of indecision and soul-searching. Who am I? Where do I fit in? What does the future hold for me? What is life all about? It’s natural as we’re coming to grips with our mortality. We are likely well past the halfway mark in our lives. The kids are gone or well on their way to creating their own lives, opening up time for ourselves. Filling this time in a meaningful, sustainable, mentally stimulating way is challenging enough without adding the worry of 30-plus years of full retirement to the equation. What we need to do is sit down and create a new life plan. Don’t let anyone tell you any dif- ferent! Regardless of your occupa- tion, your life experience is worth a lot to our younger society. Continue to put it to work. Personally, I prefer the chal- lenges of life to a guaranteed exis- tence, the thrill of fulfilment to the stale calm of utopia. Don’t retire — refocus. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com We ’re far from ready for the rocking chair If it’s true that a law on the books is only as good as the quality of its enforcement, Pickering made the correct deci- sion in rejecting a bylaw amendment on muzzling aggressive dogs. City officials on Monday chose practical considerations over good intentions regarding changes that would have re- quired dogs that bite people or other animals to wear a muz- zle until it can be proven they are safe and in the care and con- trol of their owners. However, the bylaw amendment would likely result in an undue number of appeals from dog owners in Pickering that the City wouldn’t be equipped to deal with effectively. One of the additional difficulties Pickering faces in its ap- proach to amending the bylaw is that it is part of trio of mu- nicipalities sharing funding responsibility for animal control through Pickering-Ajax-Whitby Animal Services. Neither Ajax nor Whitby has muzzle bylaws on their books, leaving the City as the sole proponent of the amend- ment. City officials also noted Monday the only other GTA municipality with a muzzle bylaw, Oakville, spends an inor- dinate amount of its time dealing with owner appeals. About 75 per cent of muzzle-order cases end up being challenged. Pickering is on the right track in creating this amendment to ensure the highest level of safety for City residents. How- ever, officials must engage their PAW partners in working to- ward a solution to the issue in each municipality and ensure there is an equal share of any additional funding required. And Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner is encouraged to continue researching the issue to provide appropriate and practical information to officials in Ajax and Whitby to allow them to make informed decisions on behalf of their residents. If safety from aggressive dogs is an equal priority in all three municipalities, then those City and Town representatives must also have a role in reaching solutions. This became a pressing issue for Pickering after a child in the community was bitten last year by an unmuzzled dog. The boy’s mother said her son was the animal’s third victim. The response in promoting this amendment shows a commitment to finding solutions, but it should have drawn its PAW partners into the process at the outset. Solutions can be found, certainly, but not without the par- ticipation of all of the municipalities involved in the process. Pickering puts a muzzle on amendment process More study, co-operation between municipalities will lead to solution for all William Little Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com Time to retire retirement and offer society the experience boomers bring www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, January 17, 2003 PAGE 7 A/P 557 KINGSTON RD., PICKERING THE LARGEST TOYOTA DEALER IN DURHAM!

An ETFO member who ignores the pink listing faces disciplinary action that could include a fine of up to $500, a ban on holding elected positions at ETFO, or being left out in the cold in terms of union help if a teacher is in trouble, said Ms. Gencey. “It’s fairly effective because it kind of grinds the hiring to a halt,” she said. The union is poised to start work-to-rule action in local elemen- tary schools Jan. 22. “That will be incremental, we’ll be building up over the winter,” she said. The union strike protocol re- leased Thursday states educators will continue to teach, offer extra help to students, keep in contact with parents regarding students and perform supervisory duties. And, while teachers will submit report card information to principals, they will only deliver handwritten marks and learning skills on a copy of the provincial report card and not record the information on comput- ers or provide detailed comments. Teachers will not perform custo- dial, secretarial or administrative functions, attend board-sponsored workshops that take place outside the teaching day, order supplies, at- tend staff meetings, schedule any new field trips, complete Education Ministry forms or reports, or collect money from students. “My expectation is it may make the administrator’s job much more difficult,” said Ms. Gencey. The elementary teachers have been working without a contract for over four months. In December, 91.5 per cent of voting members gave the union a strike mandate, the first in the local’s history. A bargaining session between the two parties last month resulted in union claims that the board had made an “insulting” contract offer. Sally McIlveen, the board’s em- ployee services superintendent, at the time countered that the board had made offers in the areas of salary, benefits and preparation time, identified as priorities by the union, putting $2.3 million on the table. The two sides met again Monday but Ms. Gencey said there was “very little progress.” She said the board made teachers a new offer and the union responded. “They didn’t like the response so they withdrew the offer,” said Ms. Gencey. Ms. McIlveen said the board made “a substantial” salary offer Monday and she is concerned there has been no movement by the union. She added the pink listing is “the union’s” and that the board “continues its process of staffing its schools. “I hope that (prospective board teachers) will speak to us... directly and make their decisions long-term in where they choose to work,” she said. She also maintained the parties will come to an agreement. The two sides next meet Jan. 29. ETFO pink listed the board in 2001 during contract talks that eventually resulted in a five per cent salary increase for full-time elemen- tary teachers.

The fourth version of the Durham Regional Junior Science Olympics for Grade 4 to 6 public school students is set for the last week of the month at three Durham sites. “It’s about teamwork, it’s about co-operation and it’s about using the science skills you might have learned in class and applying them,” said Mary Ann Griffin, the Durham District School Board’s science pro- gram facilitator. She said seven new curriculum- related events have been created for the competition so returning stu- dents don’t have an edge over other pupils. In one event, dubbed ‘Hover- craft,’students use helium balloons. “They have to create a basket that will attach to the helium bal- loon... and add things into the bal- loon to make the balloon hover ex- actly one metre off the ground,” said Ms. Griffin. Mini Olympics held at most of the participating schools determined which students would move on. As in the past, York University teacher candidates are helping out to obtain experience and gather ideas to perhaps bring into their own classrooms one day. Parents and the general public are welcome to watch the Olympics live, space permitting. The Olympics takes place be- tween 9:20 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. at the following locations: Wednesday, Jan. 29 — Durham District School Board Education Centre in Whitby (Whitby and Os- hawa students). Thursday, Jan. 30 — R. H. Cor- nish Public School in Port Perry (Brock, Uxbridge and Scugog stu- dents). Friday, Jan. 31 — Lakeside Pub- lic School in Ajax (Ajax and Picker- ing students).

John Vesters, the Durham Catholic District School Board’s former su- perintendent of human resources, re- tired last summer. At Monday’s board meeting, the board announced it has entered into a contract with Mr. Vesters, ending June 30, for his return as a superin- tendent of education. Board chairman Mary Ann Martin said in an interview the board is short one superintendent and last spring began looking for a new supervisory officer. “We interviewed and did not find one we thought was suitable for our board,” she said. As a result, the existing superin- tendent portfolios were redistributed, resulting in a “heavy, heavy work- load”. Trustee Martin said with Patricia Manson set to take over as the board’s education director Feb. 17, the board would not hire a new su- perintendent until she begins work. Mr. Vesters is not taking over his old job, however, but will be responsible for an area of schools. Trustee Martin said when Ms. Manson becomes director, her time- line for finding a new superintendent may see Mr. Vesters’ contract end sooner. Meanwhile, current education di- rector Grant Andrews will remain at the board under contract until the end of March. Originally, he planned to leave at the end of last year. “Grant will be the associate direc- tor for the changeover period,” said Tr ustee Martin. At Monday’s meeting she said Mr. Andrews’ contract “may be extend- ed” beyond March. In the interview, she said the op- posite could occur and he could leave sooner, again depending on Ms. Manson’s wishes. She said both Mr. Andrews and Mr. Vesters would receive the same salary they were paid as board em- ployees. Mr. Andrews’ 2001 salary was $177,832.06 while Mr. Vesters earned $116,722.84. GRANT ANDREWS Remaining under contract until the end of next month. March of Dimes is out knocking on Durham doors DURHAM ––March of Dimes canvassers are going door-to-door throughout Durham this month, raising funds and awareness. Registered volunteers are visiting residents in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa. Monies col- lected through the cam- paign help people across the province acquire de- vices such as wheelchairs and walkers. All funds col- lected will be passed onto area co-ordinators and then to the March of Dimes. This year Canadian co- median/actor Leslie Nielsen is honourary chair- man for Ontario March of Dimes Annual Door-to- Door Campaign. With Mr. Nielsen’s help and celebri- ty status, the organization is hoping to raise $1.3 mil- lion. “I’ve known about March of Dimes since I was a kid. It goes back that far,”says Mr. Nielsen. “It’s like a family charity. I think it has helped a great deal... I enjoy being part of that.” March of Dimes started out as an effort to find a cure for polio in 1949 and by 1955 the funds raised did help find the cure. It has now evolved into serv- ing people with physical disabilities including mul- tiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, post polio syndrome, stroke and muscular dys- trophy. It is now one of Ontario’s largest charitable rehabilitation organiza- tions. Last year, the organiza- tion helped 1,835 people acquire devices. In Durham Region, 63 people were assisted through the program. DURHAM ––Durham College has announced its new board of governors.

NATIONAL SECURITY Earl (Martin Lawrence) and Hank (Steve Zahn) have only one thing in common: they’re both LAPD rejects. One just got kicked out and the other can’t even get in. After confronting each other on opposite sides of the law dur- ing a traffic stop that escalates out of control, the two luckless individuals end up partnered as lowly security guards. Despite being damned to the lowest rung of the law enforcement ladder, Earl and Hank uncover a sophis- ticated smuggling operation led by Nash (Eric Roberts) and his band of thugs. When Earl and Hank get their hands on some hot property, they go on the run from, first the bad guys, then the LAPD — led by Lt. Washington (Bill Duke) and Detective McDuff (Colm Feore). What these two unlikely part- ners do to law enforcement is a crime, but they just might save the day. That is, if they don’t kill each other first. A GUY THING Paul Morse (Jason Lee) wakes up from his bachelor party in bed with a strange woman. But Becky (Julia Stiles) is not just any strange woman, she’s the cousin of his fiancee, Karen (Selma Blair). As the wedding date approaches, Paul has to contend with rehearsals, his fu- ture in-laws, Becky’s lunatic ex- fiance (who has a steroid rage problem) and, oh yeah, hiding his suspected infidelity. KANGAROO JACK Tw o friends from Brooklyn (Jerry O’Connell, Anthony An- derson) are forced to deliver mob money to Australia. Their misadventures begin when one of them places his red jacket on a kangaroo while attempting to snap a picture. When the kanga- roo bounces off, they realize the mob money is in the jacket and are forced to give chase through the outback.

For information, call Kathy Williams at 905-420-2254 ext. 6004. BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer PICKERING ––For than 30 years, he’s been Canada’s leading exponent of Celtic music. In fact, when he started, it wasn’t even thought of as music. But, John Allan Cameron continues to put on his kilt and get up on stage. “I’m an entertainer. It does- n’t matter to me if the audience is from Cape Breton, Vancou- ver,Los Angeles or Hong Kong. I do what I do and I’ve survived all these years,” Cameron says. Over the years, he’s hosted two television shows, per- formed across the country, made friends with just about everybody, released albums and influenced a new genera- tion, including his son Stuart and cousin Natalie MacMaster “When I first started, it was- n’t considered music,” Cameron says. “I had to fight then. “I’ve never been apologetic of my music. When I was at St. FX (St. Francis Xavier Univer- sity), I was playing pipe tunes on guitar. My confreres were apologizing for me doing it. They said it was for old peo- ple,” Cameron says. “If music is performed well, there’s a pristine purity. I helped preserve it and bring it on my show.” Whether he’s an institution or not is “for history to say. I’m a link in a chain,” he states. “Everyone has to pull together. The future of the world depends on the kids. We need new ideas and innovative ways to get things done. There are people who influenced me and I respected that. They gave me the confidence to carry on.” He spent six-and-a-half years in a Catholic seminary studying for the priesthood. He left in 1963 and spent two years at St. FX and a year at Dalhousie University, getting a teacher’s certificate. He taught high school in London, On- tario for a year before return- ing to Halifax, where he audi- tioned for Sing Along Jubilee. “Nobody was doing what I was doing, wearing a kilt and singing Celtic songs,” he notes. He played the Grand Ole Opry in 1970, on the same bill as Hank Snow and Roy Rogers. “Hank Snow said to me ‘well young man, whatever it is you’re doing, keep doing it.’ It was great. It was my first great review,” Cameron notes. His first show on CTV was filmed in Montreal from 1975 to ‘77, while his second was on the CBC from ‘79 to ‘82 and produced in Halifax. “It (the second show) was well received. I have no idea why it was cancelled,” he states. Just a ‘link in a chain’: Cameron “At that time, they weren’t paying a heck of a lot of attention to Celtic music. I had a heck of a lot of good guests.” As for work these days, he says, “I do as many shows as I’m asked. The winter is always a slow time. In the summer time, it’s pretty full.” The Camerons moved to Picker- ing six years ago, arriving from Markham after 20 years. “I’d be away a lot and my wife was doing all the cutting of the grass and shovelling of snow. You have to keep things looking good,” Cameron says. “I married in 1969 and I’m still married to the same lovely lady, An- gela,” he says. For years, he and Anne Murray had the same manager, Leonard Rambeau. Cameron and Rambeau were at different universities at the same time, when Cameron told him he should go see a singer named Anne Murray. “It’s part of divine intervention. They clicked right away,” he says. “He took a little acorn and grew it into a wonderful, fruitful tree. If the right people don’t take you to the next level, it’s like winking at a good looking person in the dark.” Rambeau managed the two for years, until his death in the mid- 1990s from cancer. These days, Cameron is proud of son Stuart, who has played with Ash- ley MacIsaac and is now a guitarist for Amanda Marshall. Stuart also just finished producing an upcoming CD by the Crash Test Dummies. “Stuart was the 23rd guitar player she auditioned. He has one thing other guitar players can’t do. He can play acoustic guitar very well,” not- ing most people don’t realize how difficult it is to hit the notes well. As for Stuart producing his first compact disc, the proud father notes, “He was in his glory producing the Crash Test Dummies album.” And he likes to keep it in the fam- ily, too. “Whenever we can, we play to- gether. We know each other so well. I’d like to do a Canadian tour called Father and Son or Fathers and Sons.

Cameron Sahadath, 17, is not only regarded as the top young hurdler in Canada, but recent- ly released rankings have placed the talented teen among the best on the planet. The World Track and Field Youth Rankings 2002 for athletes 18 years and under were re- leased in December, and Sahadath is ranked second in the 110-metre hurdles. His time of 13.73 seconds last year is only slightly slower than the world’s top-ranked under-18 hurdler, Shamar Sands, 17, of the Bahamas, who clocked in at 13.67 seconds. When he found out about his world status, Sahadath was justifiably happy. “I was very pleased with it,” said the Grade 12 student. “It was kind of reassuring and boosted my confidence. I was happy to be able to do that well. “I am surprised and I’m not. I know I’ve put in a lot of hard work and dedication. I’ve been in the sport almost my whole life. I’ve never re- ally thought of myself as being better than any- body else. Somebody else telling me that — it’s better than me saying it. I know how hard the people around me are working, too.” If there was a single reason behind what was an outstanding 2002 season on the track, Saha- dath points to simple encouragement. “I think it was positive encouragement from everyone I care about. That brought me to work harder at practice, to listen more to my coaches and people in the sport. That’s what contributed the most,” he said. Although still too young at 17 to be signed to a U.S. university scholarship, Sahadath has nonetheless made up his mind about his acade- mic and athletic future. It lies at home. “Right now, I’m looking to stay in Canada. Business and commerce is my field of interest. By staying here, I’m around my family and I can get the help from wherever I need it,” said Sahadath, adding he’s looking at the University of Toronto,York, Queen’s and the University of Wa terloo as possible destinations. Sahadath is not only one of Canada’s top hurdlers, but he has trained with many of the country’s top performers in the sport. He noted his best friend is the brother of Canadian Olympian Adrian Woodley, of Whitby. He also spent time training with Canadian Olympian and NCAA champion hurdler Perdita Felicien, of Pickering, before she represented Canada at the 2000 Olympic Summer Games in Sydney, Australia. “They’re older than me and they’re both pos- itive role models,” said Sahadath. “They’re someone to aspire to. To see them go to the Olympics shows me that it is possible; it is at- tainable.” He’s also received strong guidance from his father, Curtis Sahadath, and uncle Cyril Saha- dath, a teacher at Pickering High, over the years. “My dad’s at every practice and meet. My uncle’s at the school and we have a very good relationship. I think he’s had just as much influ- ence as my father has,” said Sahadath. His ultimate goal is to represent Canada at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens. “I’m working to get to the Olympics in 2004. If I don’t I won’t be too let down. If not 2004, definitely 2008.” Pickering loses top players as injuries and losses mount BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —The disgust in Jim Wilson’s voice is palpable. The Pickering Boyer Pontiac Pan- thers’ first-year head coach and general manager has taken his fair share of lumps this season — bad luck at every turn, not the least of which have been a never-ending spate of injuries. But, more bad news came down the pipe recently with trade demands by three stalwart Panthers players. Deals were carried out at the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League trade deadline last Friday. Wilson is loath to discuss the dead- line-day deals as forward Brent Chan- dler, forward and team captain Ryan Ta ylor and number-one goaltender Scott Gray got their wish and were sent to playoff contenders — Chandler to the Stouffville Spirit for second-year for- ward Daniel Kim, and Taylor and Gray to the Wexford Raiders and Markham Wa xers, respectively, in cash deals. “It’s very difficult for me to speak about these things because I’m so nega- SCOTT GRAY Dealt to the Markham Waxers.

Pickering hosted Ajax in the regular season finale Jan. 10, responding with a 3-0 win over the Knights. This was quite a feat as the Aja- cians are one of the toughest defensive teams in the league, having allowed two or fewer goals in over 70 per cent of their games. Andrew Eng opened the scoring in the second period on a nifty move followed by a low shot to the corner. Chris- tian Dimopoulos and Adam Spiers drew assists. In the third, some hard work and diligence by Derek Luening, while short-handed, set up Doug Lalach in the slot for a 2-0 lead. Aidan Masse closed out the scoring on a low, hard wrist shot with Luening pick- ing up the assist. Cameron Jarmain earned his second consecutive shutout. The Panthers hosted sec- ond-place Whitby Jan. 8 with the teams settling for a hard- fought 1-1 tie. Pickering opened the scoring through Eng’s persistence around the net. Bryan Knopf and Di- mopoulos provided the spadework and earned the as- sists. Whitby tied the game late in the third on a shot de- flected in off a Panthers’ de- fender. Adam Berk was ex- cellent in net making several key stops. The Panthers began their streak with a 1-0 road victory over Oshawa Jan. 4. Picker- ing dominated from start to finish with some great work from the Oshawa goaltender keeping the game close. Lu- ening scored on a power play, with Masse and Adam Wat- son drawing assists. Jarmain earned the shutout with a couple of key saves in the dying moments. Also contributing to the team’s success were Khalid Alli, Brandon Cammisa, Zachary Domingo, Connor Farag, Cameron Giglio and Cody Malloy. John Dimopoulos coaches the team, assisted by Steve Knopf and Steve Spiers. Spiers is the manager and the trainer is Ray Giglio. Goal- tending coaches are Kevin Malloy and Greg Watson.

If there was a silver lining, Wilson said he’s impressed with Kim. “He’s a fine replacement. He’ll supply us with some offence,” he said. The loss of the three players no doubt came as a big hit to the struggling club that currently sits second-last in the league’s South Conference with a 9-29-3-1 record. Also devastating has been the steady stream of injured players, adding up to 150 man games lost to injury this season. Of late, three more players went down in loss- es to the Waxers (5-3 in Markham Friday) and to Collingwood (5-0 in Pickering Sunday). For- ward Jesse Toms, who recently returned from an extended stay on the injury list, suffered a knee injury Sunday and will be lost to the club for at least two weeks. Meanwhile, defenceman Shawn Coultice suffered a separated shoulder and will be out indefinitely. Lastly, goaltender Michael Fini suffered from appendicitis and has spent a week in hospital. To cover the shortfall on the weekend, de- fencemen Ryan Annesley and Rob Foster were fill-ins on the forward lines. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Wilson of the injury bug that has plagued his team. Although the Panthers dropped the two out- ings to fall further off the pace, Wilson was nonetheless pleased with the effort of his charges. Pickering had the first-place Waxers on the run for much of the game. Trailing 3-1 in the second period, the Panthers rebounded to tie the game after 40 minutes. A Markham power play goal in the third period, however, proved deflat- ing. Against Collingwood, the Panthers outshot and outplayed the Blues, but three power-play goals proved to be the deciding factor. “Our energy level (in the two games) was phenomenal,” noted Wilson. “We played with a lot of spirit and cohesiveness, which I was very proud of. Right now, we’re playing as well as we can with the players we have. We’ve competed very well against the top teams in the league.” The push is now on to catch the Ajax Axemen for seventh place in the South Conference stand- ings. Right now, the Panthers trail the Axemen by five points, with Ajax having one game in hand. Pickering has seven games remaining. “We’re trying to catch Ajax and we want to move ahead of them in the final week of the sea- son. That’s our primary objective,” he said. They host the Oshawa Legionaires at the Pickering Recreation Complex tonight (Friday) at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday, the Couchiching Terri- ers are at the complex for a 7:30 p.m. contest.
