Touched by a friend who is battling the disease, the Durham resident plans to donate proceeds to the communities she collects from along the way. Two wheels and a big dream Durham woman driven to take cancer fight across Canada DDUURRHHAAMM ––––It's called the 'disease that whispers,' but Deborah Landry is all revved up and ready to make some noise about ovarian cancer. On June 14, the 49-year-old Oshawa woman begins a journey of epic proportions. She will ride her motorcycle across Canada to raise awareness and money to fight the disease. "My friend Kim Perkins's mother died (of ovarian can- cer) a year ago and at her fu- neral I wanted to do a ride, and when I found out Kim had the disease, I was pretty devastated," says Ms. Landry. "Kim's not doing well and I thought about Terry Fox and how if he did it on one leg, why can't I do it?" The trek begins at Princess Margaret hospital. Members of the Toronto Po- lice Service, motorcycle en- thusiasts and friends will be there to see her off, many taking part in the first leg of the cross-country 'Dare to Dream' marathon. The pro- cession will circle Queen's Park, wind its way through the city to the Don Valley Parkway and north to Hwy. 401 east, with the destination of Hearth Place Cancer Sup- port Centre in Oshawa at noon. From there she'll head east to Montreal. The intrepid motorcyclist is experienced in long-dis- tance rides. She said she has great faith in her 1800 VTX Honda, which she describes as a cruising bike. "When I was 46 I went to the east coast on the back of my boyfriend's bike and that was it for me. I took the (motor- cycle) course at Durham (College)... I rode to the west coast and last year the Gaspe (Peninsula)." This special trip will take her to Newfoundland and then back to Quebec, up to Sudbury, west through the prairies to Edmonton and Calgary and eventually to Vancouver Island. She hopes to be home in September and will donate all the money she raises in each province to that province's cancer cen- tre. Although she doesn't have specific sponsors other than family members and friends, she says the Best Western chain has offered her accom- modation and she hopes the momentum of the ride will move other businesses to get involved. "One-hundred per cent (of the money raised) is going to the cause," she says. "I hope people on bikes will hook up with me and ride as far with me as they can."

A watershed moment Catholic board too 'content’ Trustee argues not enough being done with test scores BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Durham's Catholic school board is set- tling for "mediocrity" in not taking "revolutionary ap- proaches" to improving stu- dents' provincial test scores, says Fred Jones. The Scugog-Brock- Uxbridge trustee voted against accepting the second draft of the Durham Catholic District School Board budget at Monday's board meeting. Trustee Jones rejected the first draft two weeks earlier and in an interview said noth- ing had changed to alter his position. "There's been no specific funding allocated to the im- provement of the scores on the provincial tests," he said, referring to Grade 3, 6 and 9 assessments and the Grade 10 literacy test. "I believe that there ought to have been. This particular board is not predisposed to doing that, (it) appears content with mediocrity." Trustee Jones said the board should spend some of its ample reserve money on programs and other initia- tives designed to help stu- Ten-point management plan secures future of creeks BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– A 10-point wa- tershed management plan for Duffins and Carruthers creeks has passed its first test. Pickering's planning com- mittee is recommending council approve the Toronto Region Conservation (TRC) plan, which takes in five mu- nicipalities and took three years to complete. Council considers the plan June 16. It will also, based on the committee's recommen- dation, discuss authorizing City staff to work with the TRC, Durham Region and other municipalities on terms of reference for an im- plementation team to be formed this fall. "Pickering has been a champion of this project since it was first proposed three to four years ago," said Mayor Wayne Arthurs, at Monday's committee meet- ing. "We were among the very first municipalities willing to take it on," added Mayor Arthurs, Durham's represen- tative on the Duffins Creek Task Force. The Duffins and Car- ruthers creek systems con- nect Durham and York re- gions, including Pickering, Ajax, Markham, Whitchurch- Stouffville and Uxbridge. "They are among the healthiest of watersheds in the Greater Toronto region," said a Pickering planning re- port presented Monday night. "Yet parts of the water- sheds are exhibiting signs of stress from land-use activi- ties." Two task forces were formed in June 2000, made up of local politicians from each of the municipalities af- fected, Durham and York re- gions, area residents, and members of the aggregate, golf and agricultural indus- tries, as well as the Durham chapter of the Urban Devel- opment Institute.

The victim was wounded by a shotgun blast to the leg while she was visiting an Ex- eter Road apartment at about 6:25 p.m. Three guns were later found in the apart- ment and seized by Durham Regional Police. Police issued arrests war- rants for Christopher Michael Willis, 21, of Exeter Road, and Frederick Blacklock, 36, of Gregory Road last week. On Tuesday, Mr. Blacklock turned himself in to 19 Divi- sion officers. The two were wanted for weapons offences, police said.

MOTOROLA V66 Tril-Band GPRS-GSM World Phone * Pickering councillors support zoning regulations BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Wings have been given to a set of regulations pro- hibiting land uses that may conflict with the safe operation of a future airport. Pickering's committee of the whole voted unanimously and with- out any discussion at all, to recom- mend to council support for airport zoning regulations (AZR) being proposed by Transport Canada. Council considers the issue June 16. "Airport zoning regulations don't mean an airport is going to hap- pen," stressed Ward 3 Councillor David Pickles after Monday night's committee meeting. "Although a lot of people don't want an airport, on the other hand, the regulations protect the land surrounding the airport on other is- sues we might feel are noxious, like landfills because they create a bird hazard." While not supporting the idea of an airport, Coun. Pickles called the proposed AZR "somewhat desir- able". Expected to be approved later this year by the Privy Council, the AZR apply to lands adjacent to and in the vicinity of an airport, should the federal government decide to build one in the future. They impact federal lands in Pickering, Markham and Uxbridge, from Hwy. 404 in Markham to the eastern edge of Whitby, and from north of Ballantrae, Goodwood and Coppins Corners in Whitchurch- Stouffville and Uxbridge to south of Hwy. 401 in Pickering and Ajax. All landowners and tenants with- in that regulated area must comply with the AZR, although uses in ex- istence prior to the regulation com- ing into force will be grandfathered. Regulatory controls include re- strictions on the height of build- ings, structures, objects and natur- al growth; and land uses and activ- ities causing electronic interference and bird hazards. Pickering has asked Transport Canada to defer issuing public no- tice of the AZR until "appropriate implementation guidelines" can be prepared to the satisfaction of the City and other affected municipali- ties and public agencies. "We have to ensure it's consistent with our (Official Plan) and various bylaws," explained Coun. Pickles. The committee also asked the AZR be consistent with work al- ready under way by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), which is currently exam- ining the feasibility of building a re- gional reliever airport in north Pickering. Transport Canada established the AZR height restrictions based on an earlier concept of a full inter- national airport. Even so, Coun. Pickles, who sits on the GTAA stakeholders commit- tee, doesn't expect runway patterns to change much. Most wind studies suggest a west-east approach, he said.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers. the TRC, the task forces were charged with developing a water- shed plan for the creeks that would be understood and implemented by municipalities, community groups, business and industry. A management philosophy was developed, supported by 10 integral management "actions" that City staff report is consistent with Pick- ering's Official Plan. They include protecting existing meadows, wetlands and forests; restoring areas within the natural heritage system; providing storm water quantity controls for new and existing development; and enforcing stringent erosion and sediment con- trols for construction and infra- structure maintenance activities. It's much less expensive to build these measures into future develop- ment rather than have to retrofit for them afterwards, said Ward 3 Coun- cillor David Pickles, Pickering's rep- resentative on the Carruthers Creek Task Force. "If you do it right the first time. It's not going to cost you later," he added. The plan provides valuable infor- mation and works hand in hand with the City's growth management study, said Coun. Pickles. TRC officials expect the plan to be adopted later this summer and will make copies available to the City sometime in July. Airport rules take flight Plan works with study Legion walks Saturday for terminally ill kids PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––The Pickering Legion's charity walk is a go for this Saturday, June 14. Originally scheduled to take place last month, the seven-kilometre walk is to raise funds for the Starlight Children's Foundation, which has a mandate to improve the lives of ter- minally ill children and their families. The walk was cancelled because the star-studded cast Branch 606 had lined up for the event, actor/mu- sician Billy Ray Cyrus and other 'Doc' television show cast members, were unable to come because of fears of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Doc or no Doc, the walk is going ahead. Pledge forms are avail- able at the Bay Ridge's branch, at 1555 Bayly St. On walk day, bring your completed pledge form to the legion for registration, which begins at 10:30 a.m. The walk starts at 11:45 a.m., and the route is near the Pick- ering Town Centre. After the walk, the legion encour- ages participants to bring their lawn chairs and enjoy an afternoon of live music. There's also a barbecue and games for the kids. For more information, call Kathy Frederick, at 905-839-2990. ✦ Plan from page A1 But, up to 1,000 face SARS quarantine across Durham BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer AAJJAAXX ––––"Extreme" precautions have helped Rouge Valley Ajax and Picker- ing hospital stave off the latest surge in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), say local health officials. "We have been extreme in our infec- tious control measures," said Rouge Valley spokesman Katie Cronin- Wood. The fact Ajax currently has no sus- pected, or probable cases of SARS can be attributed to the fact masks have never come off in clinical areas and only for a "short window" of about three days in non-clinical areas at the hospital, she said. Four people are being investigated for SARS and five are in respiratory isolation. There are, however, three probable cases, four patients under investiga- tion and 18 in respiratory isolation at Rouge Valley's Scarborough site. "We've quickly identified any pa- tients and staff who could have been at Lakeridge Health and have screened them out," Ms. Cronin-Wood said. "There were only one or two and they aren't showing any symptoms." As many as 1,000 Durham resi- dents could be in quarantine over the next 10 days as the health depart- ment continues to investigate a clus- ter of people with an unknown respi- ratory illness linked to Lakeridge Health Whitby. All of Lakeridge Health Whitby's 380 staff members are in a home-and- work quarantine and visitors to the facility between May 22 and June 9 are being asked to go into voluntary quarantine and contact the Durham health department until the possibil- ity of SARS at the facility can be elim- inated. Things were looking up Tuesday, when three of the 15 people in the suspect group were cleared of possi- ble SARS and health officials report- ed they expected as many as four more to be cleared by day's end. "The best news is being able to take three people off the list. It would be wonderful by the end if all persons were removed," said Dr. Donna Reynolds, associate medical officer of health, at a press conference Tues- day. "In the meantime we will manage those people like they have SARS." The three removed from the suspect group did not have communicable diseases, said Dr. Reynolds. Anyone with any possible SARS symptom, even a fever, was included in the clus- ter. The group did not all have the same symptoms, she noted. As of Tuesday, no known link to the SARS outbreak had been found among those patients. In Ajax, patients are now being al- lowed one visitor a day from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. weekdays, and 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. weekends. Visitors must enter through the west doors, are screened upon arrival and must wear a mask. "It is getting busy as we start to ramp up with our outpatient clinics and elective procedures," said Ms. Cronin-Wood. Rouge Valley was one of the first hospitals in the GTA to "double up" in its high-risk areas, she said, requiring staff to wear twice the amount of pro- tective gear -- literally from head to foot. The hospital has also invested in a number of portable filters to create more negative pressure rooms. It has also purchased respiratory hoods for its respiratory therapists. They look like a beekeeper's hat, said Ms. Cronin-Wood, only they pump their own oxygen inside pow- ered by a battery pack strapped around your waist. BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Put it in the box, not the bag. That will be the mantra in households in Oshawa, Whit- by, Ajax and Pickering this week as they join the other four municipalities in the ex- panded blue box program. Earlier this year, the Durham Region works de- partment introduced the ex- panded service in Claring- ton, Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock. The introduction was so successful politicians across Durham voted to bring the project on board across the Region to help Durham meet its goal of 50 per cent waste diversion from landfill even sooner. "It's a continual part of our waste diversion and as a re- sult it will end up saving our taxpayers money when we don't have to take (the waste) to landfill," says re- gional Chairman Roger An- derson. "Residents have been asking us for years to extend the options they can put in blue box. As a result of this we will be able to divert some of the garbage currently going to landfill, which will help us meet our targets. Anything you can recycle and divert from landfill will eventually help the environment. We couldn't just keep burying everything. It's a great op- portunity for us and resi- dents, I know, will like it. Drive down any street in Durham on garbage day and you'll see full blue boxes. They're going to be even more full," the chairman pre- dicts. In Oshawa, the new pro- gram will mean some collec- tion-schedule changes. Resi- dents have been sent a new waste collection calendar with the revisions, which went into effect Monday (June 9). There will be no changes to the garbage days or leaf and yard waste collection days in Oshawa. Also starting June 9, all Durham Region residential collection customers will be able to add the following items to their blue boxes: • All plastic bottles with a twist-off top, including deter- gent and bleach bottles, lids removed; • All empty aerosol cans, caps removed; • All coated paper milk and juice cartons and drink box containers; • All dry metal paint cans with lids removed. These items are in addi- tion to previously accepted items such as paper, card- board and box board, tin cans, glass containers and some plastics. Residents are asked to break down and bundle card- board in packages no larger than the blue box. As well, the Region asks papers be placed into a separate box from containers, says Mr. Watson.

Business group meetsYoung, old enjoy Frenchman’s Bay Festival and ArtFest PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Residents had no excuse to be bored last weekend as the rain held off long enough for the French- man's Bay Festival and the 7th Annual ArtFest to have their days in the sun. Richly-coloured snow kones were the treat of choice, it seemed, among children at the festival Saturday. Children of all ages wandered enthusiasti- cally around the festival grounds while cooling off with refreshing treats. But it wasn't just the children enjoying themselves; adults too were full of smiles while taking in the sights and sounds. The beeps and buzzers of the festival rides sounded in the background while big band musicians dressed in sophisti- cated black suits played to a captivated audience. Booths lined the south end of Liver- pool Road for hundreds of me- tres and ranged from Henna tattooing to bicycle safety. Among the booths stood a tent for the new Juno Beach Centre. Men and women dressed in full uniform gar- nered the attention of many onlookers, curious about their medals and stories. One legion member stood out among the crowd. Al- though a "wee bit too young to fight in the Second World War," 72-year-old Al Ramage, better known as Scotty, has been a le- gion member the majority of his life. Dressed in a legion uni- form plastered with medals and a button which read, 'Im- prove your image be seen with me,' Mr. Ramage was sur- rounded by friends and ac- quaintances and seemed to be in his element. A volunteer at the fair every year since its inaugural begin- ning 12 years ago, Mr. Ramage admitted that this year was no different. "I have been a volun- teer every year. I always volun- teer to do something, like St. John's Ambulance or help with the chairs or tables. But this year because of the Juno Beach they wanted [the legion] to come down in uniform." Al- though he is technically volun- teering for the legion Mr. Ram- age said, "I always tell the St. John's where I am and if they need me give me a shout." As he says this, he reaches into his blazer pocket and pulls out a fistful of band-aids. "You never know when a kid is going to fall and scrape his knee. It's what you do. I always love to help people." Mr. Ramage not only carries band-aids with him but is also a regular blood donor. A pin at- tached to his tie shows the number 150, which symbolizes the pints of blood Mr. Ramage has donated. But in actual fact the pin should read 189. "You can only get pins up to so high. After 70 they cut you off. But I still feel fit enough to donate." In a charming Scottish ac- cent, Mr. Ramage reminisced about his experiences of the fair over the past 12 years. "The first three or four years it used to be packed. You could hardly walk up the street. But now it seems to be night-time when all the kids come down," he said, laughing he was too young to join them for a beer. Meanwhile, on the other side of town, local artists displayed their works on the terrace of City Hall at the annual Art- Fest. Art ranged from every- thing from woodworking and scrimshaw etching to paintings and handbags. Entertainers were also on hand to provide children and visitors with music and amuse- ment. More than 60 artists were attracted to the event, which offered displays and demonstrations. ArtFest has been one of the main attractions in Pickering over the past seven years. One vendor, Amberlea Williams, a recent graduate of the fine arts program at Guelph, was at the festival promoting her paint- ings. Lynn Morris, another vendor at ArtFest, displayed her unique handcrafted purses and bags. Ms. Morris's flyer pro- motes her unique business and states, "I design and craft each [purse] using an assortment of denim fabrics and complimen- tary accessories. I try to make each purse a true work of art." PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– Big crowds flocked to Esplanade Park Saturday for the an- nual Artfest on the Esplanade event. Along with artists selling their wares, demonstrations and kids’ fun, there was plenty of entertainment, including the Kick Up A Fuss Cloggers, led by, from left, Ivan McCully-Daily and Wendy Mitchell Gill. Nicolas Orgias adds his personal touch to the barrel painting activity at Artfest. Man faces multiple assault charges AAJJAAXX ––––An Ajax man faces nu- merous charges of assaulting police and resisting arrest after a violent scuffle that left one of- ficer with a broken wrist. Durham Regional Police said a man was being arrested for al- legedly assaulting his former common-law wife at a Horne Avenue residence at about 10 p.m. Monday when he put up a struggle and fought with several officers. Police eventually sub- dued and handcuffed the man after using pepper spray and batons, said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. While being transported to Oshawa headquarters, the man kicked out a window and jumped from the police car out onto Simcoe Street, he said. "He lands on his head and fights again, kicking the offi- cers," said Sgt. Malik, adding paramedics were also attacked while trying to treat the man who suffered minor injuries. James Gasparini, 36, of Horne Avenue, has been charged with five counts of assault police, four counts of resist arrest, two counts of assault, and single counts of uttering threats, forcible confinement, escaping lawful custody and mischief.

He said as a first step, the board should find out why students are performing at the level they are performing at, but this hasn't been done. One of Trustee Jones's ideas is to study why successful schools do well and then share their strategies across the system. The board's most recent provincial test results have been mixed compared to other students in the province. In the October 2002 Grade 10 literacy test, Durham Catholic board students performed better than the provincial aver- age. On the Grade 3 and 6 assessments, also written last year, local students fared better than the provincial average in writ- ing, but poorer in reading and math. Board chairman Mary Ann Martin suggested something might change between now and when the budget is slated to receive final approval, on June 23, noting, "there's always room for improvement and this is just our second draft." She noted that Educa- tion Quality and Account- ability Office results spark both school board and in- dividual school improve- ment plans. Faced with Trustee Jones's assertion that that's not good enough, Trustee Martin said, "We'll have to discuss that before the next draft." She said she places great confidence in the recom- mendations of the board's staff, and that she has not heard staff duplicating Trustee Jones's calls for more money to support test improvement. Trustee Jones said he has spoken with his col- leagues at the board table, and while he said he has some support there, "it isn't enough to initiate a motion." No other trustee rejected the budget. Staff in the second draft of the budget called on trustees to support a transfer of $960,902 from reserves to balance the $197.9-million budget. Staff also unveiled a $9- million technology replace- ment strategy to be imple- mented over three years. The first year calls for $3.9 million to replace student computer servers and pur- chase new mathematics software for Grade 3 and 4 classes, among other pro- jects. Staff recommends that $3.2 million be taken from a new, working funds reserve for computer tech- nology to pay the bulk of the strategy's first-year costs. Public board nears budget finish line BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––With this year's process not the usual scramble to avoid cuts and boost special-education funding, the Durham District School Board's budget is virtually done. At an education finance committee meeting last week, Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers motioned the com- mittee accept the budget as is. The motion was passed and the full board is set to approve the $465.3-million, balanced budget at the June 16 board meeting. The lack of controversy surround- ing this year's budget was reflected in the number of deputations trustees heard Tuesday night -- there was only one, from regular presenter and spe- cial-education advocate Kathy Gal- luzzo of Whitby. Whitby Trustee Doug Ross, the board's finance committee chairman, said the difference is the board has more money from the Province this year and contracts with most of its employee groups. "We added a good number more (educational assistants), resource teachers," he said. "It's a good news budget that we didn't cut -- and we added some staff. It makes it a lot easier when you have adequate funds to work with." The board expects to receive about $34.5 million more in operating grants from the Province this year, including roughly $12.6 million more in special- education funding. It plans to add 103 new educational assistants to the sys- tem for the next school year, including 82 more at the elementary level, a 17 per cent increase. And, while the staffing numbers aren't guaranteed due to the ongoing special-education review, at present the budget calls for about 20 more special-education re- source teachers and six area special- education teachers, both at the ele- mentary level. The board had a budget meeting last night, and was to discuss a mo- tion from its special education adviso- ry committee (SEAC). When the board received $5.5 million in special education, 'intensive support amount' funding in January, it allocated $3 million of it to reserves, since those accounts had been used to supple- ment provincial funding in last year's budget. SEAC argued, however, that all of the money is needed for special-edu- cation students. Laurie Beaton, the board's SEAC chairman, in an interview said it might just be a misunderstanding on her committee's part. "SEAC's first impression was, we're getting all this money and whatever we don't use is going to be put in the general reserves of the board," she said. "My understanding is it can be put in a special-education reserve, which would make our motion redun- dant." Trustee Ross said in fact the money would go to general reserves. He ex- plained that when the board was short of special-education funds last spring, it found $3 million from other budget areas. Now the board no longer has to subsidize special educa- tion because it has adequate funds, he said. "All we're doing is we were robbing Peter to pay Paul, and now we don't have to do that," he said. Trustee Ross also took a swipe at trustees who have not attended the budget meetings -- all 11 board mem- bers sit on the education finance committee. "I'm disappointed in the attendance of the trustees," he said. "There are some trustees who never showed up." Including Trustees Ross, five trustees attended Tuesday's meeting while six were present at the June 3 meeting. He described the budget as "one of the most important things we do as trustees". www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 11, 2003 PAGE A5 P HURRY IN FOR BEST SELECTION.

Catholic board test results have been mixed ✦ Catholic from page A1 Especially when it suits them Ontario's Progressive Con- servative government does not like entertainers trespassing on its turf, but is glad to put them on centre stage when it needs them. The Tories, who have had many conflicts with those in the arts and their views, will pro- vide $5 million to organize a concert that will include Cana- dian performers Avril Lavigne, Sarah McLachlan and the Tragically Hip. Premier Ernie Eves said it will help show Toronto has re- covered from SARS and is safe to visit and Tourism Minister Brian Coburn said it will bring "a lot of rockin' and poppin" and emphasize life is normal. The Tories also have encour- aged comedian Mike Myers, who spent much of his early life in Toronto and is a big name in the United States, to appear on 'The Tonight Show' on U.S. TV. Mr. Myers wore a T-shirt with the slogan 'I love Toronto' and tried to convince its huge audi- ence SARS is no longer a dan- ger. The performers are entering into the spirit of the event with enthusiasm, some re-arranging their schedules to take part, and ignoring past differences with the Tories. Artists and entertainers tend to support causes like the poor and homeless, and higher gov- ernment grants for arts and culture, and many are left-wing and activists. Conservatives tend to see them as well-meaning, but with little concern about practical matters like costs. The most recent conflict was when many Canadians in arts and entertainment, led by their most-honoured author, Mar- garet Atwood, spoke against the U.S. war on Iraq. Premier Eves, in contrast, supported the U.S. in its attack and his office issued a news re- lease accusing those against the war of being cowardly. Canadian performers who opposed the attack on Iraq at least have not been subjected to organized boycotts in their country, as have U.S. entertain- ers such as Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore and the Dixie Chicks. But the Tories put pressure on Toronto actress Sarah Pol- ley, who had the temerity to ob- ject to their plans to give pri- vate medicine a larger role in medicare and organize a bene- fit to fund opponents. Health Minister Tony Clement scoffed he was, "very glad Miss Polley was able to take some time off being in Cannes," which implied actors laze in the sun when they travel to promote products that need to be sold and cannot con- tribute much to public affairs, the domain of politicians. Mr. Clement challenged the actress to a debate on the issue, in which the smarter-than-av- erage minister who discusses it daily would have a huge advan- tage over an outsider. However, she came back cleverly saying she would be glad to name half- a-dozen health-care workers who had waited a long time to take him on. Actor Gordon Pinsent, singer Salome Bey and 200 represen- tatives of the arts community held a news conference protest- ing against cuts in arts funding by Mike Harris, Mr. Eves's pre- decessor as premier, and ar- gued grants to arts and cultur- al organizations are good for business. Painter Robert Bateman protested the Tories have backed away from commit- ments by previous govern- ments to preserve the scenic Niagara Escarpment and are "the fox in charge of the chicken coop." Ms. Atwood wrote and recit- ed a poem called 'The Big Blue Harris' in which she called his Common Sense Revolution program "common nonsense." Canada's most-admired bal- lerina, Karen Kain, was barred by security guards from enter- ing the legislature building to present petitions protesting Tory cuts signed by thousands of ballet lovers. Mr. Harris said he was "shocked" by this rude recep- tion, but stuck to his position the Province had a financial cri- sis and must evaluate all spending. Children's entertainers Sharon, Lois and Bram were among thousands who signed a petition opposing the Tories giving tax credits to parents of children in private schools. However, news reports specifi- cally mentioned only the enter- tainers, a reminder of their high profiles, which politicians must envy. The Tories are now showing they can work with those in show-biz - they just don't want them shooting off their mouths.

It's clearly not a place the region wants to be. The latest issue revolves around a cluster of 15 cases of possible SARS being investigated at Lakeridge Health Whitby. While three of the cases were removed from SARS suspicion as of Tuesday and more are expected to be re- leased from SARS suspicion today, worries abound at LHW, especially among those whose job it is to care for the patients at the hospital. Workers at the Whitby facility are particularly upset about the problem of getting masks fitted properly. The 380 health-care workers at LHW are now in a home-and- work quarantine. But they are anxious, and, until the last of those 15 ill patients are cleared from having SARS, they will wonder about any contact they may have had with those patients. Until the cluster of 15 patients was identified, for in- stance, nurses were told to wear masks in the hospital only when interacting with patients. However, many of the masks provided failed a fitting test, so were of no use to the nurses who need to wear them. As one health-care worker has said, "They told us we were safe and we're not. We think this is a very sloppy job of controlling an out- break." While the emphasis on SARS control has been height- ened at acute care hospitals, concerns about the situation at a long-term care/dialysis facility such as Whitby are valid. Did LHW slide under the radar? On the same day the nurses were justifiably frightened for their health, Premier Ernie Eves finally - perhaps be- cause he won't be running for re-election anytime soon - called an independent inquiry into the recent occurrence and spread of SARS in the Greater Toronto Area. Mr. Justice Archie G. Campbell will investigate and re- port on what caused the outbreak. And his findings will be surely be keenly anticipated. Judge Campbell should look carefully at the situation that took place in Whitby to make sure all protocols were properly followed by Lakeridge Health. There could be as many as 1,000 Durham residents forced into quarantine over this recent Whitby outbreak. Was there any other way the situation could have or should have been handled? Anyone who visited LHW between May 22 and June 9 is being asked to go into voluntary quarantine. But if those who run the facility were concerned about a possible SARS outbreak, and we emphasize 'possible', as far back as Friday, June 6, should there have been preventive ac- tion taken sooner than Monday, June 9? While Lakeridge Health must go through the Ministry of Health for all SARS-related directives, is the system as efficient and safe as it could be? The inquiry, which has been spurred on by a request from the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario, must find the answers to how our health-care system can react to any future outbreak, and what protocols must be fol- lowed to make sure staff, visitors and patients are safe. We're past the point where visits to restaurants by politicians or high-profile concerts are the public-relations focus of our attitude towards SARS. After all, lives are literally at risk and we need to do all we can to make sure we take every precaution to safe- guard the public. Church Street This is a view of Church Street as it looked in 1912. Going down the street, (as described in the book ‘The Village of Pickering 1800 - 1970’) one would have seen the St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church, Peakes Livery and the impressive home ‘Kinnaird’, one of the show places of the village when first built around 1890. Osier beds were on both sides of the road by Kinnaird and a large bed was down by the mill road. Further south was the Grand Trunk Railway bridge and on the left just past the bridge was the Elmdale Mill road. Tories turn out the stars One man's cowardice is another's courage TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'Our war stance could mean no ITER for Canada,' letter to the editor,' June 1. If, as Jack Kilburn suggests, 'Canada's cowardly action in not backing the war' costs us our bid for the International Ther- monuclear Experimental Reac- tor project, then so be it. Cowardice depends on one's standards. I believe Canadians have the kind of standards that require them to resist becoming submissive, unthinking lackeys to governments, especially those of foreign powers. What has been branded cow- ardly‚ may very well be coura- geous. We have yet to see The Super Power make the coura- geous effort to form a 'coalition of the willing'‚ to rid the world of the heinous weapons of mass destruction that are currently being refined. Canada would most certainly be courageous enough to join such a coalition. CChhrriiss CCuurrrraann,, AAjjaaxx Students get history and training session TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'On the cutting edge' photo, May 30. Thank you for your publicity of the training session for the Durham College and Ontario Power Generation students that took place at the Pickering Mu- seum Village in Greenwood. I would like to add a bit more information about why we took our students to the living histo- ry museum. While it is true the students are not fully qualified techni- cians (that's why they are in school, after all), choosing the museum was not only an ideal solution for our practical testing of their newly-acquired skills, it was also a perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the students that their skills of detecting cracks can be applied equally well to the maintenance of boil- ers and pipes in a nuclear set- ting as they can to the blade of a 19th-century sawmill. It was also a chance to high- light our common heritage. Two hundred years ago wood fires boiled the water and created the steam that turned the engines for the farm or mill equipment.

The opportunities and constraints identified during this phase are detailed in the Phase 1 reports, which are now available on the website, from the City’s Planning & Development Department, and at City libraries. Much of the input received to date relates to Phase 2 of the project where growth options will be identified and evaluated and a land use plan prepared. Work on Phase 2 of the Pickering Growth Management Study is underway. As a first step, options for locating future population and employment in different areas within the study area will be identified. On June 24th the City will hold an Open House to obtain your views on these options and their advantages and disadvantages. This input will be used to select a preferred growth option and urban/rural boundary for the City of Pickering. Once the growth option is selected, more detailed land uses for the urban and rural areas will be prepared. This land use pattern will be based on input from the community through a workshop session in the Fall. The purpose of the City’s Growth Management Study is to provide Pickering with the tools to guide future growth in the study area in ways that will protect the sensitive natural environment, support a vibrant economy, r espect the unique cultural landscape and provide an attractive extension to the existing urban and open space areas of Pickering. The study area boundaries generally follow: Highway 7 to the north; Sideline 16 and the Pickering - Ajax boundary to the east; the St. Lawrence & Hudson (formerly the C.P. Belleville) Rail line to the south; and the Pickering - Toronto/Markham boundary to the west. Open House Date: June 24th, 2003 Time: 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm Location: Pickering City Hall Lobby Display panels will present the following: • Opportunities & constraints identified in Phase 1 • Urban/rural boundary and growth options • Characteristics of the options We hope you will attend the Open House to provide your input into Phase 2 of this study.

Wind power co-operatives were at the heart of Denmark's successful green power development. Today, Ontario communities are developing their own versions. This coming Sat- urday, the Kortright Centre is host- ing a workshop to find out about the many wind power co-ops under de- velopment in Ontario, how to get in- volved, and how to replicate them. When Ontario Power Generation (OPG) switched on North America's largest wind turbine in Pickering, then-Ontario minister of the environ- ment Elizabeth Witmer stated, "Wind power is a zero-emission source of energy and we are pleased to see it become part of the generation mix for this province. New green tech- nologies like wind turbines comple- ment our government's tough new air reg ulations." "We estimate that by the end of 2010, there will be 10,000-megawatts of wind power across the country and we congratulate OPG for their pio- neering role in developing wind power in Ontario," added Jim Salmon, past-president of the Cana- dian Wind Energy Association, at the launch. Prince Edward Island has shown great leadership by investing in this promising energy. The provincial government has been a key partner in building the North Cape Wind Farm. June 2002 saw federal and provin- cial government representatives join with industry officials and Saskatchewan-area residents at its official opening of SunBridge, the province's first major wind power project. This $22-million project was developed through a 50/50 partner- ship between Enbridge Inc. and Sun- cor Energy Inc. SaskPower is pur- chasing the wind-generated electrici- ty for sale to the Government of Canada and other customers in Saskatchewan. SunBridge is project- ed to provide nearly six per cent of Canada's total installed wind capaci- ty and will result in a reduction of ap- proximately 32,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. All 17 wind turbines, located southeast of Gull Lak, have been in service at the 11 -megawatt site providing enough wind-generated electricity to meet the needs of about 5,000 homes. Wind is a renewable and sustain- able energy source. It offers cleaner air as well as contributes to our cli- mate change goals through fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Invest- ment is needed in conservation and renewable energy for a sustainable energy future. The $1-billion commitment the In- ternational Thermonuclear Experi- mental Reactor (ITER) project is asking from the federal government makes up a good portion of the $2 bil- lion needed to meet our Kyoto target. ITER is a research project that will not produce any energy and will in fact require huge amounts of electric- ity to operate, further stressing On- tario's already strained electrical sys- tem. Wind farms are a viable energy al- ternative now and are expected to be an important part of Canada's ener- gy future, providing economic, envi- ronmental and social returns. ••• The Durham Region Environmen- tal Advisory Committee hosts a vol- unteer management workshop tonight (Wednesday) from 7 to 9:30 p.m. in the Durham Region planning department board room, 1615 Dun- das St. E., fourth floor of the Lang Tower in Whitby.

Following a meeting between Min- ister of Natural Resources Herb Dhaliwal and some Ontario federal cabinet ministers earlier this week, Canada's negotiating team was told it can proceed to Vienna. The Austri- an capital will host the next round of ITER talks on June 19 and the Cana- dian delegation will push its bid to host ITER (International Ther- monuclear Experimental Reactor) at a site in Clarington beside the Darlington Generating Station. The research facility is a joint ven- ture between all G-8 countries with the goal of harnessing fusion power for a clean, sustainable future energy source. As well, the research is ex- pected to generate knowledge on many offshoot technologies and bil- lions of dollars in revenue through construction and spin-off business, both for the host country and the non-host partners. Canada's ITER proponents need a commitment from the federal gov- ernment to finance Canada's share of costs 50-50 with the Ontario gov- ernment, which has already commit- ted its share to the project. Following his meeting with On- tario federal cabinet ministers Tues- day, Minister Dhaliwal said the bid will move forward on June 19. "This was not a (full) cabinet meeting but they encouraged the minister to pro- ceed," says Murray Stewart, presi- dent of Iter Canada, the non-profit company which has been driving the bid. Dr. Stewart says the federal and provincial governments, along with Iter Canada, will all be in attendance at the preparatory meeting in Vien- na. After that meeting, the federal cabinet will have more information on Canada's position on which to base their final funding decision, says Dr. Stewart. The go-ahead nod from the feds followed weeks of lobbying by Durham politicians hoping to get a federal government funding commit- ment. The cost to Canada is estimat- ed at $2.3 billion although that num- ber could change based on negotia- tions. Dr. Stewart says there is a new un- derstanding of the project in Ottawa and the credit for that lies squarely with Durham politicians, business, academic and labour leaders who have worked tirelessly in past weeks to educate MPs across Canada, and particularly the Ontario cabinet ministers, on the benefits of the pro- ject. Clarington Mayor John Mutton, who was meeting with transport minister David Collenette this Fri- day regarding ITER, said now that Canada is able to table a new host bid, he believes "it will become the odds-on favourite" at the interna- tional level. Spain, France and Japan are also vying to host the facility. A site deci- sion by Iter International is expected in October. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 11, 2003 PAGE A9 A/P CASUAL DINING Your Neighbourhood Gathering Place RESTAURANT•PATIO•PARTYROOM 1755 Pickering Parkway•Home Leisure Centre Treat Dad to a Great Breakfast!

Durham Regional Police and OPP's Whitby detachment teamed up to stop 1,775 vehicles in Oshawa, Whitby, Clarington and Pickering during a weekend joint-forces Re- duce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) campaign. Of those, 127 drivers were given roadside breath tests and 13 were charged with driving with over 80 mgs of alcohol per 100 mls of blood in their systems, among them a mo- torist already before the courts on an over-80 charge, police say. Another 28 drivers registered a "warn" and were handed 12-hour li- cence suspensions, police say.

The finance minister says the economic plan the Tories have followed, which includes lower taxes, balanced budgets, debt repayment and re- moval of barriers to growth, is working. She added strategic invest- ments in key areas like health care, education and infrastructure have been effective. "Our job is to create more jobs, more growth and more opportunity and the plan we've had in place since 1995 has done that," she told a group of 250 at the Durham Region Homebuilders Associa- tion annual industry lun- cheon in Oshawa Friday. "Our plan is working. Our economy has outper- formed Canada and other leading nations." Since the Tories' 'Com- mon Sense Revolution' began in 1995, Ms. Ecker said Ontario has seen the creation of one million new jobs, the removal of 600,000 people from the welfare rolls, a 19-per cent increase in pay for two-in- come families and a 30- per cent rise in pay for single-income families. She says home-owner- ship numbers are up and, for the first time since 1908, the government has delivered five consecutive balanced budgets. "We are back on the path to growth and pros- perity," said the Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge MPP. "We just need to keep it up." Ms. Ecker admits critics have scolded the Tories for cutting taxes only for the rich, but she says the government has removed the burden of Ontario in- come taxes for more than 70 0,000 mid-to-low income families and will soon add another 470,000 people to that list. She adds the Province has cut taxes for small, medium and large busi- ness, creating economic prosperity and allowing the government to focus spending on health care, education and infrastruc- ture. In fact, she says health- care spending has in- creased $10 billion since 1995, education spending has paid off in better provincial, national and international test scores, and infrastructure dollars can be seen throughout the province where the government has already spent $15 billion investing in more than 4,000 vital projects. Recently, she said the Province has committed more than $700 million to battle the SARS outbreak and she chastised the fed- eral government for only investing $20 million to f ight the disease, which has hit the Ontario econo- my so hard. "It seems although we are faced with serious is- sues like SARS, West Nile virus, and Mad Cow Dis- ease, Ottawa is obsessed with legalizing pot," she said. "I think it goes to show how much of it they're smoking." She said the Tories tax- cutting agenda will con- tinue and stood by the party's promise to make municipalities face a ref- erendum on any proposed property tax increases. "If your government raises your taxes they should ask for your per- mission," she said. "We will continue to make Ontario a great place to live, work, invest in and raise a fami- ly."

The event for seniors over age 55 started indoors at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex, owing to wet and puddle- filled courts at the Sandy Beach Tennis Club, also in Pickering. Early morning games were played at the complex's courts, while later in the day the tourna- ment went outdoors. Heather Jessop and Penny Beige, both of Pickering, earned the ladies' dou- bles title, defeating runners-up Karen Owens from Ajax and Rosemary Aiken from Pickering in the final. Third place went to the team of Margaret Pascoe and Loida Woodford, both of Pickering. Meanwhile, Ed Taylor, of Courtice, and partner Lawrence Neville, of Oshawa, claimed the men's doubles title. They de- feated Mark Mariano of Ajax and Dave Boswell, of Pickering, in the final. Third place went to the team of Harry van Dewiel, of Whitby, and Henry van Druen, of Oshawa. All winners receive their medals at a special luncheon at the East Shore Com- munity Centre in Pickering June 20. Woodford, convener of the event, said that once the initial problems with wet courts were overcome, the tournament was again successful. "Our Durham seniors sure showed a lot of spunk, fun, enthusiasm and a very competitive spirit," noted Woodford. Lawrence vaults to provincial bronze AAJJAAXX ----An Ajax athlete vaulted her way to near the top of the field at the Provincial Gymnastics Championships in Brantford recently. Ka therine Lawrence, of the Ajax Acro's Gymnastics Club, recorded a bronze medal on vault while competing in the tyro 1 category at the provincials, host- ed by the Brantford Gymnastics Academy. Her third-place result -- missing out on first by a mere 0.75 of a point -- helped her to 10th-place overall in a field of 51 com- petitors. Several other club members also competed at provincials. Cassandra Pesch, competing in the novice 1 division in a field of 64 competitors, placed second on vault and seventh on floor. Haley Fergu- son and Shawna Jackman also competed. Meanwhile, Michelle Gleeson and Melissa Nash represented the club at the recent Elite Ontario meet hosted at Gym- nastics Mississauga. Pickering Tigers claw way to soccer tourney title PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----The Pickering Power AGF Tigers boys' under-eight rep soccer team tamed the Ajax Tornadoes and Moth- er Nature to capture the championship at the City of Vaughan Invitational (COVI) Tournament recently. The Tigers faced neighbouring rivals, the Ajax Tornadoes, for the championship. Wind played a major role in the game and after 50 minutes of play the game was tied 2-2. Nicholas Lambis and Stuart Mackenzie scored for the Tigers. Two 10-minute over- time frames solved nothing and the cham- pionship hinged on penalty kicks. Pickering netminder Deshaun Crawford was amaz- ing, stopping all but one shot. The Tigers capitalized with goals by Jeremy Nastich, Stuart Mackenzie and Brayden Jones. In the semifinals Pickering was pitted against the Richmond Hill Raiders. The Tigers trailed 1-0 in a close and exciting contest when Mackenzie tied the match 1-1. Af ter two 10-minute extra periods the match was still tied. In penalty kicks, Pick- ering's keeper, Mateo Haza, was outstand- ing as he stopped three of five shots.

Hoops league looking for players DDUURRHHAAMM --- Boys and girls can get on the court this summer with Durham West Summer Basketball, which is holding its registration this week. Players born in 1987 to 1992 can sign up at Lincoln Alexander Public School, 95 Church St. N., Ajax, on Thursday, June 12, starting at 6:30 p.m. League games are played Thursday nights throughout the summer months. Cost is $105. Skill and speed headed for U.S. Sadler, Hart look to punch up Bemidji women's hockey program BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor DDUURRHHAAMM ---- The Bemidji State Uni- versity (BSU) women's hockey team takes on a decidedly Ajax and Pickering feel when the 2004 season opens this fall. That's because two 18-year-old forwards -- Jenn Sadler, of Picker- ing, and Kelly Hart, of Ajax -- begin their freshmen campaign with the Beavers at the Bemidji, Minnesota campus, near the Manitoba border. Although residing in different communities, the two friends share a common hockey bond. Ironically, they met while playing together on a Pickering Hockey Association boys' rep atom hockey team, with Hart joining Sadler's team for a tournament game. They reunited several years later when they be- came teammates with the Durham West Lightning bantams and re- mained together through three more years of hockey, including the past two seasons as members of the L ightning's 'AA' intermediate squad. Now, Hart, a centre, and Sadler, a right-winger, continue their shared hockey history after signing on for four-year scholarships. BSU plays NCAA Division 1 hockey in the Western Collegiate Hockey Associa- tion against such teams as the Uni- versity of Minnesota, Minnesota State University, and the University of North Dakota. "I'm really excited. I think it's going to be a good experience. It's exciting to be going to play hockey somewhere new," said Hart. "It will be good to be playing with new players and maybe the coach will help me improve my skills." "I think it's going to be exciting," added Sadler. "I'm looking forward to it. I'm a little nervous to be mov- ing away, but I can handle it." Achieving scholarships to the same university was not something they originally contemplated, as each seemed destined to attend a Canadian university. A trip to the BSU campus, however, was all it took for their education and hockey plans to go in a different direction. "I had a lot of calls and letters (from U.S. recruiters), but I was not really interested in going to the States at first," explained Hart, a Grade 12 student at Ajax High School. "I went (to Bemidji State) on a visit and I really liked it there. I liked how the program was set up. That changed my mind about going to the States." "I wanted to stay in Canada too, either at U of T or at Waterloo or Laurier, but I visited St. Cloud (in Minnesota) and Minnesota State and I liked Bemidji," noted Sadler, who's in Grade 12 at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pick- ering. "It's a small school and it had a good program. I thought it was a nice school." They're also glad they have each other to go through the adjust- ments of getting acclimatized to a new hockey team and to a new school. "It's in Minnesota, so it's pretty far away," said Hart. "We'll each have someone there for comfort." The teens have no illusions as to why they were brought aboard the BSU squad: To provide scoring punch. And, both girls have a knack for the net as demonstrated by their outstanding play as members of the Lightning intermediates and with their respective high school hockey teams. Hart racked up 99 points in 63 games over two seasons with the L ightning intermediates. Mean- while, Sadler amassed 151 points over the previous three years with the Lightning, scoring at least 20 goals each season. She was also an integral member of the Ontario Sports Briefs JUNE 11, 2003 Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Turning on the jets PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– Jamie Vukasinovic of Westcreek Public School strides for the finish line while competing in the boys’ 100 metres at the Durham District School Board’s Track and Field Day at the Oshawa Civic Fields Monday.

Golden end to stellar track career Sahadath caps high school season with seventh OFSAA medal BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor AAJJAAXX ----A largely forgettable and frustrating track season for Picker- ing High School hurdler Cameron Sahadath has ended in the most memorable way possible. Suffering through self-doubt and the nagging effects of a foot injury, Sahadath made his final race on the high school stage a winning one, capturing the gold medal in the senior boys' 110-metre hurdles at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) in St. Catharines last weekend. After qualifying third, Sahadath - - the number-two ranked hurdler in the world for his age group -- put it all together in the final, winning the provincial gold in 14.47 seconds, just ahead of second-place finisher Jermaine Bucknor of Ottawa's Woodroffe High School. "It feels pretty good... I've had nine races (this year) and I won just three of them. I was really ner- vous going into the race," he said. "I never did a perfect race this sea- son; every race I did something wrong. I was confident I had the ability to win, but my confidence had been hit so hard because I haven't been winning. "I had to relax and forget about everything. I let it all go and I let myself run on instinct and every- thing went a lot better." In winning the title, Sahadath also put an end to the streak of vic- tories in the senior boys' 110m hur- dles accumulated by Paul Martin of Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering this year. Martin had de- feated Sahadath at the Lake On- tario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) championships by a mere 1/100th of a second, and also at the OFSAA regionals at York Universi- ty late last month. This time, however, Sahadath was first to the tape, with Martin unfortunately falling at the finish line, owing to a hamstring injury, but still managing to hang on to fourth place. "Me and Paul are friends, so it's only an on-the-field rivalry," said Sahadath. "We talk a lot and we've spent time together outside of track. We don't let track separate us as people." Sahadath admitted that, in the heats, he thought too much about running against Martin and Buc- knor, which broke his concentra- tion and caused him to finish third, with Bucknor winning the heat and Martin in second spot. However, in the final, it was a dif- ferent: "My focus was on my lane," he said. Although it ended in a positive fashion, the track season has been anything but a positive experience for Sahadath. Last summer, just prior to the start of school, he jammed a toe on his left foot while playing a game of pickup soccer at his cottage. The injury didn't heal properly and he finally sought treatment in March.

THE PROCESS For a provincial Individual Environmental Assessment, the EAAct requires that a proponent prepare a Terms of Reference (ToR) to define the framework for the proposed EA Study. The ToR requires approval by the Minister of Environment (MOE). In preparing the ToR and the Individual EA for Route Location/Concept Design, the Project Team will seek public input and comment. PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRES (PICs) This is the second series of PICs dealing with the preparation of the ToR. Staff from the Project Team will present the Draft EA Terms of Reference and supporting documentation. Comments on five theme areas are being solicited: Draft EA ToR process and schedule, transportation planning/need, proposed EA study area, evaluation approach, and environmental and technical work plans. Each PIC will include an Open House component and a presentation. Staff will be available to answer questions on the five theme areas noted above. Route location alternatives will only be generated if the ToR is approved by the Minister of the Environment. These alternatives would then be the subject of a future series of PICs.

She was named the team's most valuable player this season and, at the OFSAA champi- onship, received the Heart and Soul Award for her lead- ership during the tourna- ment. "They're expecting their new forwards to come in and make a difference in their scoring," said Hart. Both players are excited at the prospect of playing for an experienced coach, Bruce Olson, who has spent nu- merous years in women's hockey. As well, Olson is delighted by the array of skills brought to the ice by Sadler and Hart. "She comes to BSU as a player who can score," said Olson of Hart. "Kelly is a tall, highly-skilled forward who comes complete. She not only has great skating speed, but also has excellent hand- eye co-ordination. She will come through big in games and will be counted on to make up some of the scoring for BSU next season. Kelly will also bring some much- needed size to our offence." Olson had similar praise for Sadler's skills. "Jenn is a very fast forward with good instincts on the ice. She will make her pres- ence felt in front of the op- posing team's net. She will also stand out on the defen- sive end of the rink. Her work ethic and play-making abilities will make her a great asset to our team and she will be counted on to put the puck in the net next sea- son." Although they'll attend the same university and play on the same hockey team, the similarities end there. Sadler plans to study physical edu- cation, while Hart will take business courses. ✦ Local from page B1 Local girls off to Minnesota "It had a real domino effect," said Saha- dath. "My left leg and my back tightened up and it ruined my hurdling technique." With the foot injury causing him to nega- tively alter his style, Sahadath practically had to relearn the form that had served to make him one of the up-and-coming stars on the Canadian track and field scene. "It was very frustrating. At every practice what I felt was correct was very wrong. My coaches know how I run and how I was sup- posed to look and it was so easy for them to see," he said. But, with only a short season of outdoor meets leading up to OFSAA, Sahadath said he had to work hard in order to bounce back from the injury and return to the form that earned him a total of seven (four gold, one silver, two bronze) OFSAA medals during his five years at Pickering High. The senior gold at the 2003 championships completed his collection of provincial high school midget, junior and senior hurdle titles. "All I wanted to do was run my final OFSAA race and make it one to remember. And, it was one to remember. I ran the per- fect race of the year," he said. This summer, Sahadath will attempt to win another medal while competing at the Canadian Junior Track and Field Champi- onships in Saskatoon in July. In September, he'll enter his first year at the University of To ronto, studying business management at the school's Scarborough campus. Although he had offers to attend universi- ty in the U.S. on a track and field scholar- ship, Sahadath is happy with his decision to stay in Canada and apply himself academi- cally. "Going to the U.S., I would have been going there for all the wrong reasons. I want an ed- ucation, not a career in sports," he said. BByy BBrriiaann MMccNNaaiirr Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM –––– Oshawa's Patri- cia Mayers led an impressive contingent of Durham high school athletes back from the provincial track and field championships Saturday with a pair of gold medals dangling from her neck. Mayers, an Eastdale Colle- giate student who celebrated her 18th birthday on the first day of the OFSAA meet in St. Catharines Thursday, breezed to victory in both the 200-metre (24.27 seconds) and 400m (55.25). It was the culmination of a tremendous high school ca- reer for Mayers, who will head to the University of Nebraska on a full scholarship in Au- gust. All told, Durham athletes delivered 28 individual medals and two from relay events. Austin's Carley Dart, Gar- nier's Diane Nukuri, Picker- ing's Ryan Finn, Port Perry's Keenan Geer and Dwyer's Lauren Simeson also won two individual medals. Dart won the midget 800m (2:16.34) and finished second in the 400m (58.92); Nukuri won the senior 1,500m (4:36.67) and placed second in the 3,000m (9:56.83); Finn pre- vailed in the junior 800m (1:56.73) and was third in the 1,500m (4:04.56); Geer came second in the junior 300m hurdles (38.90) and third in the 400m (49.87); and Sime- son took bronze in both the junior 1,500m (4:38.07) and 3,000m (10:18.25). Sinclair's Mary Egbo-Egbo (senior triple jump, 11.82m), Bowmanville's Mark Dillon (senior high jump, 2.10m), Pickering's Cameron Saha- dath (senior 110m hurdles, 14 .47), Pine Ridge's Amber Cushnie (midget 3,000m, 10:29.33), Alanna Saulnier of G.L. Roberts (800m blind, 3:32.87) and McLaughlin's Rob Brown (midget 3,000m, 9:17.07) were also crowned provincial champs. It was a disappointing meet for Pine Ridge's Paul Martin, who had beaten Sahadath in the sprint hurdles at both the LOSSA and central region meets, but injured a ham- string and finished fourth at OFSAA. He also had to pull out of the 400m. Silver medals went to Sin- clair's Donovan Williams (midget long jump, 6.22m), Garnier's Liliane Sparkes (ju- nior 800m, 2:14.36) and Pick- ering's junior boys' 4x100m relay team. Third place finishes went to Dunbarton's Nikkita Holder (senior 100m hurdles, 14.22), Ajax's Elan Pessoa (senior 100m, 12.44), Pickering's Shel- don Connell (midget 100m hurdles, 14.95), Jason Jordan (senior 200m, 21.87) and 4x400m boys' relay team, O'Neill's Alex Pinkerton (open 1,500m wheelchair, 4:50.36) and Sarah Weir (senior 800m, 2:16 .73), Eastdale's Danielle Binns (senior 3,000m, 10 :09.40) and McLaughlin's Marcus Dillon (midget 3,000m, 9:22.17). In the overall team stand- ings, Pickering won the junior boys' division and finished third in senior men, while Eastdale placed third in the senior women's division.

Lawrence vaults to provincial bronze Ajax gymnast just misses first at Ontario showcase AAJJAAXX ----An Ajax athlete vaulted her way to near the top of the field at the Provincial Gymnastics Championships in Brantford re- cently. Katherine Lawrence, of the Ajax Acro's Gymnastics Club, recorded a bronze medal on vault while com- peting in the tyro 1 category at the provincials, hosted by the Brant- ford Gymnastics Academy. Her third-place result -- missing out on first by a mere 0.75 of a point -- helped her to 10th-place overall in a field of 51 competitors. Several other club members also competed at provincials. Cassandra Pesch, competing in the novice 1 di- vision in a field of 64 competitors, placed second on vault and seventh on floor. Haley Ferguson and Shaw- na Jackman also competed. Meanwhile, Michelle Gleeson and Melissa Nash represented the club at the recent Elite Ontario meet hosted at Gymnastics Mississauga.

See page B5 Bands play it long, play it loud Groups strike it up during Durham fest BByy CChhrriissttyy CChhaassee Staff Editor DDUURRHHAAMM –––– Head to Orono this weekend of stirring music, tradition and small-town hospitality. The town is the home of the Great Canadian Town Band Festival from June 13 to 15, when local bands and those from away entertain in a gath- ering that celebrates a 200-year musi- cal heritage. The town band has been a Canadi- an tradition for almost two centuries, points out Judy Climenhage, one of the festival organizers. Town bands began with French and British mili- tary bands in the 18th and 19th cen- turies. Performances in the park be- come part of the cultural life in towns and villages of all sizes across the country. The festival builds on that tradi- tion. This is the fourth such festival, which grew out of an idea kicked around by members of the Clarington Concert Band, which will be playing in the event, said Climenhage. Her husband, Dave, plays in the band and about six years ago, mem- bers started trying to find some way to present a weekend of band music. The festival came out two years later and attracts some of the best profes- sional and amateur musicians to Orono each June. "It's meant to be a place for musi- cians to gather and talk and listen to each other's music and for the public to listen to music in the park," Cli- menhage said. This year, the Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces and Le Musique a Kiosque and the True Nor th Brass will headline the festival. The Central Band, based in Ot- tawa, is under the command of Major Alain Pineault, CD. The band is part of a Canadian Armed Forces tradi- tion which began in 1939, when the first Royal Canadian Air Force Band was formed at RCAF Station Tren- ton for the visit by King George VI. The next year, five bands were creat- ed across Canada and the Trenton band was relocated to Ottawa and re- named the Central Band of the RCAF. By the end of the Second World War, there were 28 bands. Today, the Central Band is a musical ambassador for Canada and repre- sents all elements of the military. The band will take part in the military tat- too, the morning parade and play concerts in the park throughout the weekend. Le Musique a Kiosque is composed of musicians from the Montreal Sym- phony and is lead by internationally- acclaimed trombonist Alain Trudel. The ensemble will play a program called Kiosque 1900, a recreation of an outdoor band concert of the 1900s. Arrangements are by Trudel and Jean-Marie Zeitouni. Trudel has played orchestras around the world, averaging 100 concerts per year. He will solo with the Central Band at the festival. The True North Brass, formed in 19 97, play masterpieces from baroque to jazz era and sprinkle humour throughout their performances. The five outstanding brass soloists are trumpeter Raymond Tizzard, founder and director of the Han- naford Street Silver Band, Stuart Laughton, a founder of the Canadian Brass, Joan Watson, from the Toron- to Symphony, Scott Irvine and Alas- tair Kay, of the Boss Brass. The group regularly plays works and arrangements by Kay and Irvine. The festival kicks off June 13 at 7:30 p.m. with a military tattoo at the Orono fairgrounds, featuring the Central Band, Band of the Royal Ma- rine Association (Cobourg Concert Band), the Pipe and Drums of the Toronto Scottish Regiment and Queen's York Rangers Corps of Drums. Admission is $20 (children 16 and under free with adult.) Unfortu- nately, the Halifax Naval Gun Run, scheduled to take part in the tattoo, was disbanded shortly after the festi- val schedule was finalized and will not be present. On June 14, the day kicks off the a pancake breakfast, prepared by ap- prentice cooks from Central Colle- giate in Oshawa, from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Victorian bandstand on the li- brary lawn. The Thornhill Swing Band will provide the music. This will be followed at 10 a.m. by a parade of bands on Main Street to the Silvanus Gardens. Afternoon concerts in the Gardens begin at 11 a.m. At 7 p.m. the Big Band Saturday Night will be held in the Gardens, featuring Rag- weed Jazz Band, MegaCity Swing Band and John Yates on ragtime piano. The admission for Saturday, in- cluding the big band concert, is $15. Admission just for the evening con- cert is $10. Children under 16 are ad- mitted free when accompanied by an adult. Sunday features a community church service with Orono United Church minister Reverend Dorina Vo llmer leading the service with music by the Peterborough Salvation Army Band. More concerts-in-the-park start at 11 a.m. and continue through the af- ternoon. Admission is $10. Bands from throughout Durham Region are taking part. The festival is a community event, with the Orono Antique Tractor Club and Archibald Orchards providing a tractor and wagon respectively to transport people from Orono's Main Street to and from the Orono fair- grounds and Silvanus Gardens, Cli- menhage said. Volunteers efforts, do- nations and a Trillium Foundation grant make the festival possible, she added. Parking is free and the festival goes rain or shine.

FAMEd is within your grasp DDUURRHHAAMM ––––A group of local arts and enter- tainment folks want fame to go to Durham Re- gion's head. Film Arts Media Enter- tainment Durham (FAMEd) is a networking or- ganization dedi- cated to the promotion of f ilm, arts, media, enter- tainment and television pro- duction in Durham. The f ledgling group is opening an of- f ice in down- town Oshawa at 40 King St. E., and intends to promote artists, actors, musi- cians and pro- duction staff who live and work in Durham and the idea of producing films, TV shows and commercials on a wider basis lo- cally. "In Durham, we've got the best locations you can find," said Roger Cormier, chair- man of the board and co- founder of FAMEd. "We do have everything here. The prob- lem is, people don't know." FAM Ed re- cently kicked off its campaign to change that with the cele- bration of the Bravo Canada premiere of 'The U nknown Celebrities,' a documentary on Mississauga writer and film- maker B.D. Benedikt, pro- duced by New- castle Enter- tainment. The European-born Benedikt is an acclaimed au- thor and film- maker, well- known in Eu- rope but almost unknown here, something Cormier, head of Newcastle Entertainment, hopes to cor- rect. He and co- producer Richard Russell promoted the film throughout Europe and the United States, where it was se- lected for and won an hon- ourable men- tion at the New Yo rk Interna- tional Film and Video Festival in 2002. The film picked up an award at the Yu goslav Festi- val of Documen- tary and Short Film. Cormier, an actor, and now producer, is hoping to capi- talize on his success with the documentary to benefit film and other arts in- dustries in Durham through FAMEd. He built a production stu- dio in his home but had to make his own film to get any use of it. That spurred him to found FAMEd with Chester Stocki in an effort to make everyone aware of the re- sources in Durham. Just a few days before the FAMEd launch, Cormier spent two days in Toronto film- ing a commer- cial, something that could easily be done here, he said. To become a member of FAMEd or to get more infor- mation, fax the organization at 905-438-9052 or write to it at 40 King St. E., Os- hawa, ON L1H 1B3. Visit the Web site at www.famed.ca.

Call Brian Legree at 905-579-4400 or email blegree@durhamregion.com Sinclair student earns scholarship DURHAM - A knee injury forced her to give up soccer and volleyball scholarships to U.S. schools, so Rachel Spurs opted for golf instead. Spurs, a 17-year-old Sinclair Secondary School student, re- cently signed a scholarship to play golf at Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee. “I think it’s awesome,” says the Whitby native. “I could pretty much play golf for the rest of my life.” Spurs was offered scholar- ships in soccer and volleyball at other schools in the U.S., but after suffering a cartilage injury, she chose golf to avoid other in- juries in the future. “I just had knee surgery and am just beginning to walk right again,” she explains. The teen has been the New- castle Golf Club’s junior girls champion for the past two years, won the Wolf Run Invitational girls’ title, and posted third place finishes in Peterborough and on the PING Junior Golf Tour. “I can hit the ball far,”she says. “I need to work on my chipping.” Spurs showed she could hit the ball far when she placed sec- ond in the REMAX longest drive competition with a smack of 237 yards. The Sinclair student only started playing golf seriously a few years ago and has never had any formal instruction. “I’ve never had a lesson in my life, I’m self-taught,” says Spurs. “I’ve gotten a few pointers from friends and family though.” Despite just starting a few years ago, Spurs consistently shoots in the mid-80s and has a 12 handicap, quite an amazing start to a promising career. “I’d like to be on the LPGA tour, that would be very nice,” says the secondary school swinger. “I hope I can make a career golfing, I hope to get even better. I’m getting new clubs and my new coach should help.” Spurs has golfed at the New- castle Golf Club for the past two years, but will be making birdies at the Oshawa Golf Club this season as well as working in the pro shop. In addition to athletic ability, another reason Spurs is in high demand at U.S. universities is her strong academic perfor- mance. Spurs scored an 1140 on her combined SATs, better than an 80 per cent average. Despite her relative inexperi- ence with golf, she has a great mindset for the game. “Play for fun, don’t take the game too seriously,” she says. “Sometimes it can be very frus- trating, you just have to have pa- tience.” Spurs shoots for Tennessee DURHAM -The Durham Region Chairman’s Charity Classic, one of Ontario’s pre- miere charity golf tourna- ments, hits the links Thursday for what organizers predict will be a banner year. Held at the Oshawa Golf Club, the tourney is attracting 168 players and is expected to break all fund-raising ef- for ts from each of its previous six years. “I would like to say thank you to the many sponsors for their generosity in supporting children and education across Durham,” says regional chair- man Roger Anderson. “Many of our sponsors have been with us since the tournament began seven years ago and they share my vision of the Chairman’s Charity Classic as a chance to assist our young people as they get ready to take their place as the leaders of tomor- row. Durham Region has a bright future and youngsters are a key part of that promise. So far, the tournament has raised $903,000 for Durham- wide non-profit organizations that benefit youth. This year, beneficiaries are Durham College/University of Ontario Institute of Technolo- gy and Junior Achievement of Durham Region. ••• The Ontario March of Dimes is holding its Central Region 14th annual Golf Classic and Silent Auction on June 24 at Royal Ashburn Golf Club.
