Home My WebLink AboutNA2003_06_13Undercover off icer discussed Pickering shooting with accused BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM –––– In an alleged con- fession to an undercover officer, the man accused of shooting Teran Richards during a basket- ball game at a Pickering high school vowed if the victim showed up at court, "I'll blow his head off." Marlon Maragh also allegedly told Halton Regional Police Con- stable Nishan Duraiappah, while they shared a cell at 242 King St. E. courthouse: "They got so much evidence I'm just going to tell them it was self-defence." A jury was told Mr. Maragh made the statements April 23, 2001 to Const. Duraiappah, who was posing as a prisoner in court on weapons charges as part of a "cell plant" orchestrated by Durham Regional Police. Mr. Maragh, 23, has pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted murder in the wound- ing of Mr. Richards, who was shot four times April 3, 2001 dur- ing an after-hours pickup basket- ball game at Pine Ridge High School. During an argument between the victim and an opposing play- er over a disputed foul, a specta- tor opened fire and shot the 22- year-old Ajax man once in the elbow and three times in the back with a .357-handgun, court has heard. Mr. Maragh, of Scarborough, was arrested following a high- speed police chase and crash near Taunton and Altona roads shortly after the shooting. Two handguns, a .357 revolver and .45 pistol, were recovered near the crash scene, the jury has heard.

The 34 members with Local 361 of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union went on strike yesterday at 7 a.m. "This is about our investment in our workplace," union spokesman Mike Marshall said. "It's an attempt to attract and retain quality personnel. It's about providing appropriate ser- vices our clients need." The facility, on Church Street south of the Volkswagen distrib- ution centre at Bayly Street, can house up to 24 youths, but nor- mally has 20. Mr. Marshall said the Kennedy House Detention Centre is "reserved for serious offenders. It should be difficult to get into this facility. "This is a maximum security place for all of Durham, Peter- borough, the south side of Algo- nquin Park and east to Kingston." The workers' three-year con- tract expired Dec. 31 and they have been trying to negotiate a new deal, said Mr. Marshall, a youth corrections officer.

Mr. Marshall said the last of the youths was moved out the facility early Thursday morning, just before the work- ers went on strike. The youths have been moved to facilities in Toronto, Oakville and the Fo re Erie area, he added. In addition to seeking higher wages and bet- ter benefits, the employees also want to improve their working atmosphere. Mr. Marshall said the staff turnover rate is high. "I started here three-and-a-half years ago. I was at the bottom of the seniority list and now I'm number two," he said, adding since he's been there, between 75 and 100 oth- ers have worked there. "Our hope is this will become a career option for people and not necessarily a stepping stone into other places," he said.

Durham on watch as Ajax hospital plays waiting game BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Four more pa- tients were taken off the SARS watch Wednesday from a cluster of cases under investigation related to Lakeridge Health Whit- by. However, precautions across the region are still putting more people into quarantine with 559 in iso- lation as of yesterday. Wednesday, residents, staff and visitors to Fairview Lodge nursing home and Colonial Retire- ment Home were included in the precautionary quar- antine already in place at Lakeridge Health Whitby after the Durham Region Health Department dis- covered residents in those facilities with respiratory symptoms. In Ajax, Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospi- tal is playing the waiting game. With no probable or sus- pected SARS cases, hospi- tal officials say extreme precautions will stay in place for now. "We're paying very close attention to the communi- ty around us," said spokesman Katie Cronin- Wood. "The hospital is staying in contact with the Durham health depart- ment and any information coming out of Lakeridge Health Oshawa and Lak- eridge Health Whitby and the various retirement homes they are watching." As information becomes available from those areas, Rouge Valley will then de- cide how to react further to the outbreak, she said. Four patients are under investigation, with three in respiratory isolation in Ajax. Rouge Valley's Scarbor- ough site has reported two probable cases and one suspected case. Three pa- tients are currently under investigation there for SARS, with another 14 in respiratory isolation. To date, Durham health officials have announced the removal of seven of the 15 Lakeridge Health Cor- poration dialysis patients and Lakeridge Health Whitby long-term care pa- tients who were initially under investigation when the patients came down with symptoms that could potentially indicate SARS. The health department and Lakeridge Health were continuing testing on the remaining eight through today and the assessment is expected to conclude next week. The patients at Fairview Lodge and the Colonial Re- tirement Home have "very mixed" respiratory symp- toms not necessarily typi- cal of SARS, Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham's asso- ciate medical officer of health, noted in a Toronto press conference Wednes- day. However, she said, the health department and the Province are taking all pre- cautions due to the serious nature of SARS. "Given the mild illness and symptoms being expe- rienced by these patients at this time, the likelihood of SARS is very low," Dr. Reynolds added. "However, our investigation and SARS outbreak precau- tions will continue until SARS has been completely ruled out." Anyone who visited Lak- eridge Health Whitby be- tween May 22 and June 9, Fa irview Lodge between June 1 and June 9 or the Colonial Retirement Home between May 28 and June 11 is being asked to enter quarantine and call the Durham health depart- ment at 905-723-8521 or 1- 800-841-2729. As of Thursday after- noon, there were 539 indi- viduals in quarantine across Durham, with one suspect case and 59 cases under investigation. The health department is urging anyone with gen- eral inquiries about SARS to go to the Region's Web site at www.region.durham.on.ca for information to leave phone lines open for those who are concerned about potential exposure. On Wednesday alone, the health department had 860 calls into the office and made 550 outgoing calls on SARS-related issues. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 13, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P BRAKES • TUNE-UP • EXHAUST • BATTERIES • ALIGNMENTS • OIL CHANGE • CERTIFICATIONS • SHOCK STRUTS • COOLING SYSTEM • AIR CONDITIONING • FREE 24 HR Roadside Assistance (Anywhere in North America) • FREE Lifetime Tire Rotations • FREE Brake, Shock, & Exhaust Inspection The TIRE EXPERTS Offer You: • Selection of Name Brand Tires • Expert Advice • Professional Service & Installations PRICE PROTECTION SATISFACTION GUARANTEE! 30 DAY + An official mark of the province of Ontario used under licence The Tire Experts There’s No Better Place To Buy Your Tires & Service Your Vehicle g-FORCE T/A KD, KDW, KDWS Maximum Performance g-FORCE T/A KDW NT Ultra High Performance SCORCHER T/A Ultra High Performance COMP T/A HR4,VR4 High Performance TOURING T/A HR4,VR4 Touring Performance RADIAL T/A Classic Performance PILOT SPORT Maximum Performance PILOT SPORT A/S Ultra High Performance PILOT XGTV4 Ultra High Performance PILOT EXALTO High Performance PILOT XGTH4 High Performance PILOT PRIMACY Touring Performance PERFORMANCE TIRE HEADQUARTERS CALL OUR TIRE EXPERTS TODAY & SAVE!

SARS precautions mean quarantines Mr. Maragh was appear- ing in bail court when he was placed in a holding cell with the undercover police officer, court heard Tues- day. A hidden probe recorded their conversa- tions in the cell. The pair discussed their backgrounds and Const. Duraiappah suggested he was a Tamil gang affiliate, which impressed Mr. Maragh, court was told. When asked what he was charged with, Mr. Maragh bragged, "You'll see me on the news on TV tonight," Const. Duraiappah testi- fied. Const. Duraiappah gave Mr. Maragh a fictitious story of being arrested by police while in possession of a stolen car and a hand- gun. Mr. Maragh said he was charged with the Pickering high school shooting and claimed he was defending his "boys," Const. Duraiap- pah told court. "He was getting beaten, man. I wasn't going to let that happen," he quoted Mr. Maragh, who he de- scribed as animated. "The g uy (Mr. Richards) was bigger than me. He was beating my friend. I wasn't even playing." Mr. Maragh allegedly told Const. Duraiappah he was "scared of going to jail for a long time" and that if Mr. Richards dies, "I'm going to get life." He said the victim was still in hospital. "If he comes to court I'll blow his head off," Mr. Maragh was quoted. Mr. Maragh also said he "flipped his car" during the police chase and would've "blown the head off" a po- lice dog which tracked him into a field, but forgot his guns in the vehicle after the crash, Const. Duraiap- pah said. "I usually get away, man. The cops were on me in 20 minutes. There were so many of them I didn't want to get into a shootout," he allegedly said. During one conversation - the pair spent seven hours together in the cell - Mr. Maragh talked about always carrying two guns, Const. Duraiappah said. "He made reference to hav- ing two guns, a .357 and .45," he testified. According to the under- cover officer, Mr. Maragh said of his guns: "I don't go anywhere without my ba- bies." The audiotaped conver- sations between Mr. Maragh and Const. Dura- iappah, including portions that were not audible, were later played to the jury. The trial continues.

I have wanted to write on this topic for quite awhile and I appreciate the forum to do so. I live on a busy street, which current- ly holds a 40 km/h speed zone. The speed limit is blatantly ignored, as the road is a smooth and direct route to Hwy. 2. A neighbour of mine aptly named it 'Rosebank Raceway' in a re- cent attempt to get City councillors to address the issue. In my opinion, a low speed limit has done nothing to reduce speed on our street. People are accustomed to dri- ving too quickly and public safety is compromised. What's needed is more enforcement of the present speed limit. On an encouraging note, two separate drivers have actually stopped for me re- cently as I attempted to cross Rosebank while pushing a stroller and walking with a preschooler in hand. Imagine my surprise and gratitude for such thoughtful driving. These are the kind of drivers we need on city streets. Hopefully lower speed limits all around will rein in the faster, less cour- teous, and far more dangerous drivers. In two words: 'Slow down!'

A 10-point watershed management plan is out for public con- sumption and discussion now, examining the current state and the charting of a course of action for the Duffins and Carruthers creeks, which are extensive systems running through both com- munities and on in to Uxbridge Township and York Region. Ajax and Pickering politicians have welcomed the plan, trumpeting its importance and pledging support. Led by Toronto Region Conservation and made up of people from all walks of life, including politicians, residents, and mem- bers of the golf and agricultural industries, two task forces were set up with a goal: ensure our residents of tomorrow are left with healthy, vibrant systems that continue to play vital roles in our communities. Among the findings of the three-years-in-the-making study were that the watersheds are among the "healthiest" in the Greater Toronto Area. However, they are also beginning to show signs of "stress from land-use activities". With a potential future airport in the offing, future development and the implementation of more infrastructure, the need to be proactive is greater than ever. Which is where the management plan comes into play. Among the proposed actions are protecting existing meadows, wetlands and forests; restoring areas within the natural heritage system; providing storm water quantity controls for new and ex- isting development; and enforcing erosion and sediment controls for construction and infrastructure maintenance activities. Taking these steps now negates having to play catch-up to- morrow. When you add in the extensive list of collaborators and part- ners involved -- it seems just about every possible group had a voice -- the project is off to an excellent start in ensuring support well off into the future. Next up is final approval of the plan from the municipalities in- volved and having local officials contribute whatever manpower and financial support may be needed. As the work begins and the rehabilitation takes shape, it's im- perative that current and future municipal politicians continue to throw their support behind the project and see it through to its conclusion. Federal and provincial government officials were also part of the study and their continued assistance only helps the cause. So much talk these days is spent on politicians bent on carving out their legacies. With that in mind, we can't think of a better calling card for local leaders to leave behind for future generations. Tips to survive your senior years My idea of aging gracefully is to f ight it with a vengeance, but subtly. Aging is one of Mother Nature's crueller tricks. If it were a choice, who would choose to grow older? So I have devised a plan to help us all along the road to eternal youth- fulness. The first thing you need to do is go into denial. This is easy. Simply put all your experiences behind you and create a new lifestyle. If confronted by an old friend or co- worker act surprised and admit to nothing. Always wear high heels as they give your legs a youthful look. If your corns and bunions scream in protest, smile as if nothing were wrong. By doing this you can se- cretly grit your teeth. Don't worry if you fall off your favourite chair and break a leg or a hip. Invent a good story about how you were trying out a new snow- boarding technique, or how you landed on your leg while skydiv- ing. Never, and I stress never, begin a sentence with "I remember when." Before you know it, you'll have taken your audience back to the time you were a baby and the photos were black and white. Or, worse, the pre-telephone, pre-TV, and pre-electric heat days of your grandparents, the ones you visited every Sunday. And you certainly don't want them to know that you came from Europe to Canada by steamship. Introduce your children as your younger siblings and your grand- children as your nieces and nephews. They'll love this. They might even agree to teach you the current lingo or show you how to use the computer. It's always a good idea to stock up on creams, lineaments, oint- ments, and muscle relaxants just in case. But be sure to keep them well out of sight. If someone sees them they may jump to all kinds of conclusions. When they retire you, explain to your friends you've resigned. Tell them you receive a monthly inter- est cheque and have become inde- pendently wealthy. Nobody has to know it's your old-age pension. If you must, you can always get a little Botox treatment here, a nip and a tuck there. Only your doctor will know for sure. If you find this a little uncomfortable, remember the old cliché: "No pain, no gain." Finally, stick to the plan as you would to a diet and you'll lose years. Best of all, you'll beat Moth- er Nature at her own game and be forever young.

The delicate art of aging gracefully AAnnnn NNoouurrssee oo pp ii nn ii oo nn ss hh aa pp ee rr Pickering woman honoured as Senior of the Year BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Frankly, Barbara Giroux finds all this fuss a little em- barrassing. "When I look around, there are so many people, you'd be surprised by all the good things they do," she said. "It's just a part of their life. I can name at least 15 people more deserv- ing." Recently named Pickering's Senior of the Year, Ms. Giroux's response is typical, considering her unassuming and modest ways, said George Hedges, who nominated her on be- half on the South Pickering Seniors Club. "She'll probably just shrug her shoulders," said the club president. "But there's never been a more wor- thy (recipient) than that." A resident of Pickering since 1954, Mrs. Giroux and her husband Bert are longtime volunteers for a wide va- riety of causes and charities. When their four children were young, they put in seven years of service as scout leaders in Ajax. "My husband and I used to say goodbye at the door. He would take the scouts. I took the cubs," she re- membered. For a few years, the cou- ple drove into downtown Toronto to help feed the needy at the Good Shepherd Refuge. There were also reg ular visits to Warkworth prison as part of a youth corps visiting pro- gram offered through their church. "We went for about seven years and were there to talk to prisoners," Mrs. Giroux explained. "It was great. The prison was a medium- to maximum- security prison and you wouldn't re- alize until you're there, some of these people are there for life and you've just had lunch with them." Prisoners had the option of taking part and some afterwards even thanked the group for the better meals the prison offered during the visits, she said. Today, at age 70, Mrs. Giroux is a past-president of the Catholic Women's Guild at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, where she is also a reader each Sunday. She has been putting her love of bookwork to use as treasurer to the South Pickering Seniors Club for a decade, and has co-ordinated volunteers to man the Canadian Cancer Society's booth at the Pickering Town Centre for the last five years. But the pinnacle of her volunteer career has been her more recent work as a convener of blood clinics held every eight weeks at the Picker- ing Nuclear Generating Station. "I think it's the highlight because the blood donor clinics benefit the entire community," she said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 13, 2003 PAGE 7 P OR (416) 750-0472 (905) 831-6464 PETER’S ACADEMY OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING ONLY Summer SpecialSummer Special MAXIMUM INSURANCE SAVINGS $$275275.00.00 PLUS GSTMinistry Approved Driver Education Course • 25 Hours in an MTO approved classroom • 15 private in-car lesson on automatic •FREE pick-up at home • Courses start every week • Defensive driving instruction • FREE progress report card • EARLIER ROAD TEST NEW LOCATION 1050 BROCK ROAD UNIT # 10 PICKERING, ON L1W 3X4 PICKERING LOCATION HOURS: 7 DAYS A WEEK 10 AM - 10 PMCALL NOW!

The bird, found June 3, was located in the Cour- tice area bordered by Townline and Trulls roads, between Nash and Pebblestone roads, says Ross MacEachern, man- ager of environmental health with the Durham Region Health Depart- ment. The bird was sent to the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre in Guelph, and test results confirmed the crow as being positive for West Nile virus on June 9. One positive crow could point to West Nile being present in the area, though it's not an ab- solute confirmation, says Mr. MacEachern. "The crows are used as an early indicator that there's virus present in the area," he says. "But to go on one crow is iffy be- cause they do fly and they do carry the virus for a number of days before succumbing to the virus." West Nile virus is an in- fection carried by some types of mosquitoes, which can lead to minor or serious illness in hu- mans, possibly including encephalitis - inflamma- tion of the brain. Mosquitoes become in- fected by feeding on the blood of a bird carrying the virus. The health department began virus surveillance on April 14, and so far, 15 birds have been submit- ted for testing. Durham's virus surveillance activi- ties include a larviciding program for roadside catch basins and stagnant surface water until Sept. 25. Larviciding is expect- ed to begin soon, based on the surveillance teams' f indings, says Mr. MacEachern. The discovery of the positive bird is a good re- minder for people to con- tinue personal protective measures, such as avoid- ing being outside during peak mosquito hours, and mosquito-source reduc- tion actions, including re- moving standing water from around the home, he says. As well, residents are asked to report dead crows to the health de- partment, at 905-723-8521 or 1-800-841-2729, ext. 2188, he says. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 13, 2003 PAGE 9 A/P more than you came for on Father’s Day Sunday June 15 Friday, June 13 to Sunday, June 15saveto3days WOMEN’S save 50% women’s Above Average twill skirt & pants Reg. $29.99.

County Town Singers concert cancelled Durham has first West Nile bird DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford's bid to change how meet- ing minutes are recorded was de- feated by a tie vote at last week’s Durham District School Board standing committee meeting. In November 2001, trustees voted down Trustee Crawford's motion that the board form an ad hoc com- mittee to review the method of tak- ing minutes. Instead, they opted for a more streamlined method in which only motions made during meetings are recorded in the pub- lished minutes. Trustee Crawford, then and June 2, argued the board's method does not conform to the Education Act's call for full and correct accounts of meetings. He proposed a broader method patterned on what is outlined in Robert's Rules of Order, a meetings procedural guide. Mar tin Demmers (Scugog), Susan Shetler (Oshawa) and Marilyn Crawford (Ajax Wards 1 and 2) sup- ported Trustee Paul Crawford's mo- tion. "We have been on this several times before and we have seen ex- amples from several boards across the province," said Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper. "If we did record everything we said... we would have a telephone book for every meeting. I'm satisfied with what we're doing." Trustee Shetler was angry trustees did not support the idea for a new manner of recording minutes. "I do not see the resistance to this," she said. "We bite off our nose to spite our face. I do not under- stand this." A 4-4 recorded vote defeated Trustee Crawford's motion. A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 13, 2003 www.durhamregion.com SEE OUR FLYER IN TODAY’S PAPER!

Invited to the event were curators, historians, story- tellers and business ty- coons who arrived in style, entering through the gates in vintage automobiles. But they were not at Parkwood to meet Scott Fitzgerald's character Jay Gatsby. They were there to celebrate the launch of Journeys of Discovery, a new Ontario tourism al- liance, which is made up of 14 c ultural, heritage and national historic sites. Parkwood is one of the locations in the tourism ini- tiative and is considered one of the 'Highbrow' desti- nations where visitors can get a taste of the 'good life' and step into early Canadi- an high society. Each 'Journey' is an ex- clusive behind-the-scenes getaway for those seeking to visit someplace unique. Journeys of Discovery is grouped into five themes, where tourists can pick and choose their journeys. These five themes in- clude: Early Settlers, Our Native Land, Highbrow Heritage, Underground Railroad and Holiday Tra- ditions and include sites stretching from Chatham to Ottawa. The Journeys range in price from $165 to $345. Parkwood's package is $298 and includes a tour of the estate and the Robert McL aughlin Gallery, after- noon tea in the garden, din- ner at the Gallery Café, one night executive accommo- dation at the Holiday Inn, a full breakfast and depar- ture gift. While the highbrow set at Parkwood sipped tea, a couple who represented the 'Underground Railroad' theme was close by. Shan- non and Bryan Prince, who are sixth-generation de- scendants of slaves, work at the Buxton National Historic Site and Museum, another one of the 14 Jour- ney stops. It is no coincidence that the Princes are involved with the museum. Both their families escaped to Buxton, from Tennessee, during the Civil War with the aid of the Underground Railroad. Mrs. Prince, curator of the Buxton Museum, locat- ed near Chatham in south- western Ontario, was wear- ing a floral 1850's vintage evening dress complete with hand basket and her husband was in a flat-col- lared black jacket with his trousers tucked into his side-fastened leather boots, the standard look of the agricultural worker. Mrs. Prince quietly con- fided she was not in fact wearing the complete 'out- fit' and that the crinolines for under her dress were in the backseat of her car. "But it isn't like anyone will notice," she said as she dropped her large hoop skirt back over her shoes. The basket she carried was filled with a few mod- ern-day items including a camera, eyeglasses and a handful of brochures for the Buxton museum, which she displayed proud- ly. Her daughter is featured on the cover. As the distinguished guests continued to drink their tea and nibble on salmon hors d'oeuvres and crumpets with flavoured butter, the couple was de- lighted to speak about everyday life in Buxton and the history of the town. Mr. Prince gave a histori- cal perspective of the town, explaining Buxton is signif- icant because it was the last 'stop' on the Under- ground Railroad. He told how each song used for the Underground Railroad was encoded with important messages. "The song 'Wait in the Water' told slaves es- caping to walk in the water so that their scent would be lost if the hounds were chasing after them," ex- plained Mr. Prince. Just then the MC tapped on the microphone, which silenced the conversation, and began to welcome everyone to the event. The MC introduced a singer who would begin the festiv- ities. The Princes turned and smiled as the woman began to sing. It was a thrilling experi- ence when the soloist began a haunting and soul- ful rendition of 'Wait in the Wa ter'. What would have been just another beautiful song the day before now had a magnificent story and two faces attached to it. At the end of high tea everyone dispersed to min- gle and tour the estate, for- mer home of General Mo- tors founder Col. R.S. McL aughlin. Today Parkwood wel- comes just under 100,000 visitors a year and is cur- rently involved in a $4.6- million multi-year capital renovation program called the 'Now and Forever' cam- paign. Public Relations director for Parkwood, Sharon Kennedy, is thrilled the Journey of Discovery tours has chosen the estate as one of the 14 sites. "We feel very privileged Parkwood was included. It is one of two 20th-cen- tury sites that have been included and it is nice to see more recent sites being considered."

"It's giving us the oppor- tunity to do some things we normally wouldn't get the opportunity to do," said Angela Porteous, co- ordinator of the French- man's Bay Watershed Re- habilitation Project. The grant is spread out over the next two years, beginning this October. It is part of 96 environmental projects receiving $2.9 mil- lion in funding through Environment Canada's EcoAction Community Funding Program. "EcoAction was our main source of funding for the first four years (of the project)," said Ms. Porte- ous. "We applied again for funding this year and they decided they wanted to still be involved." With the Trillium Foun- dation recently stepping in with a major contribution, Ms. Porteous said this new money will allow the pro- ject to branch out into new areas like Rotary French- man's Bay West Park. The project plans to start implementing a vari- ety of initiatives laid out by the Toronto Region Con- servation's (TRC) master plan for the park. The extra dollars will also allow for the hiring of one addi- tional staff member. "We plan to work with the residents in the local area," said Ms. Porteous, who stresses the project won't be implementing any "contentious issues" from the master plan. For instance, concerns were raised about an ini- tiative to restrict access to the west spit of the bay as outlined in the TRC plan, she said. "Our activities will occur through stewardship," Ms. Porteous added. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 13, 2003 PAGE 13 A/P RETURN TO SERVICE OF PICKERING A HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE’RE DOING TO MAKE SURE PICKERING A OPERATES SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY. 3 BUILT A TEAM OF NUCLEAR PROFESSIONALS to run the station. Consisting of operators with extensive experience at Pickering A, highly trained staff from our other nuclear sites, top graduates from local universities and colleges and veteran industry professionals, they bring wide-ranging knowledge and skills to Pickering A’s operations. 3 INTRODUCED AN EXTENSIVE TWO-YEAR TRAINING PROGRAM to upgrade the skills of our control room operators. Working in a full-scale simulator that is an exact replica of the new control room, they are prepared to work with the station’s updated systems and modifications, practising restart and operating procedures and how to respond to potential emergency condi- tions. We also have training for our operations, maintenance and engineering staff on key equipment and procedural upgrades both in the classroom and in the plant. 3 IMPLEMENTED THE BEST OPERATING PRACTICES at nuclear facilities around the world and incorporated this learning into our own operations. 3 UPGRADED OUR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE PRACTICES to reflect the improvements made to our equipment and systems. 3 ROUTINELY BRING IN THIRD PARTY EXPERTS to review our operations and procedures. Their advice helps us to continually improve and ensure ongoing safe operations. I’m one of the many Ontario Power Generation employees dedicated to the Pickering A return to service project. I’m also a neighbour. My wife and I are proud members of the Ajax community. As OPG upgrades Pickering A, safety is our number one priority.

Negligence charge laid in shooting AAJJAAXX ––––An Ajax man is charged with criminal negligence in the acci- dental shooting of a 25-year-old Pickering woman last week. Durham Regional Police officials said the victim was wounded in the leg when a shotgun was discharged in the Exeter Road apartment in Ajax she was visiting Monday, June 2. Police later found three guns in the apartment during a search and later issued arrest warrants for two Ajax men, who surrendered earlier this week. Christopher Michael Willis, 21, of Exeter Road, is charged with crimi- nal negligence causing bodily harm, attempt to obstruct justice and 16 weapons counts including pointing and careless use of a firearm. Frederick Blacklock, 36, of Grego- ry Road, is also charged with at- tempt to obstruct justice. Dunbarton, college, UOIT partner on road to future studies BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM –––– You can go east, too, young graduates. Dunbarton High School, Durham College and the country's newest university are encouraging students to consider staying home when their high school days are over. They have created a partnership in- tended to ease students' transition from high school to wherever they decide to go: college, university, an apprenticeship, or right into the work force. Dunbarton principal Tom Reed said many stu- dents look west to oppor- tunities in Toronto and be- yond, perhaps unaware of what's available right here at home. "Durham has all we need, the college, the uni- versity and the skills train- ing centre," he said. Durham College and the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology (UOIT), opening this Sep- tember in Oshawa, have opened an office in the school, where students and their parents can learn more about the institu- tions. The three facilities this year are also piloting a personal graduation pack- age (PGP) for students, al- lowing them to finish their high school diploma while starting studies at the col- lege or university. Mr. Reed explained he's still waiting to see how many graduates will regis- ter to return to Dunbarton next year, since there's a bit more time for universi- ties to send out acceptance letters. The PGP is intend- ed for students who don't get into their chosen uni- versity or program, need to upgrade their marks or fin- ish off OAC credits. While details are still being ironed out, a student in next year's first semester would take a high school course or courses in the morning, then focus in the afternoon on what they want to do post-high school in a specially tai- lored curriculum. Mr. Reed said that might mean tak- ing a peer leadership course, which "we would try to link with the college and university." In the second semester, the student would attend college or university. Diane Anderson, direc- tor of liaison, student re- cruitment at Durham Col- lege, noted a leadership course is part of the UOIT curriculum. A PGP pro- gram student could take the course while finishing high school, and if accept- ed to the university, they would be one credit ahead upon entering university full-time. She said the partnership is a good fit. "I think it's part of our strategic plan to enhance what opportunities and what level of service we can give to the Ajax/Pickering area, because we did feel it had been underserviced," she said. Instead of just making presentations to students already planning to go to DC or UOIT, Ms. Anderson said staff at all three facilities would ex- plain to students the cur- riculum links between high school and the college or university. Durham College and UOIT staff recently did so at Dunbarton, while high school staff made a reciprocal visit to UOIT staff last week. As well, Ms. Anderson said the office at Dunbar- ton is a resource for stu- dents and parents at other local high schools as well, noting it's open some evenings so parents can come in. Students triple their options Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Durham College teacher Mike Vatcher watches as two Dunbar- ton High School students dissect worms recently as part of a new partnership between the schools and the University of On- tario Institute of Technology.

With the new part in place, the turbine is back to produc- ing electricity. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Local group’s fund-raiser puts emphasis on literacy skills AAJJAAXX ––––It's almost unheard of these days, but some youngsters turned off the TV recently and spent time reading books. They were doing it for a good cause, raising money for programs offered by It Takes a Village (ITAV). Children in the organization's Anan- si Reading Circle Family Read-a- thon took part in the event, raising $350. To gether with sponsorships and donations, more than $700 was raised, said ITAV executive director Yaa Shange. To raise the money, the children read with siblings, parents, grand- parents and even their pets. "We thought this was a natural fund-raiser for our program. We love books and we needed to raise money for our education support program for this fall," said Ms. Shange. "So we just combined our love with our need and the families really got into it." The children were reading more than they usually did during reading circle sessions, held each Thursday. For more information on ITAV's free education support programs for children under 12, call 905-427-7511.

Visions of dainty flowers blooming throughout the summer months; visions of an ever-changing flower border, colours cascading forth as each shrub flowers in sequence; visions of a beautifully blooming accent feature. Flowering shrubs are a welcome addition in a variety of landscaping settings and the possibilities to incorporate them into the garden are limited only by your own garden vision. Flowering shrubs that bloom throughout the entire summer include many var ieties of the spireas. ‘Goldmound’ Spirea has dainty flowers of pink on top of contrasting golden foliage and adds brightness into the garden, while ‘Magic Carpet’ Spirea accomplishes the same with the addition of contrasting new foliage and a smaller growth habit. Potentilla is also another excellent choice, in particular for such yellow varieties as ‘Gold Drop’ or ‘Gold Star’, which has a one-inch, five-petal bloom. For an eye- catching display of blooms, plant a flowering shrub border instead of an evergreen hedge. Start off the season with blooms of Forsythia followed by the old- fashioned favourite still as popular, Lilac to be the lead into the Weiglas. The flower border continues on with the flowers of Hydrangea and Rose of Sharon. By paying attention when selecting flowering shrubs for this type of hedge, the garden can be continually in bloom from early spring right through into October. Fo c al or accent features can be easily achieved in a variety of gardening visions by the addition of a flowering shrub. A dding a splash of burgundy into an expanse of green, perhaps to frame an arbor, can be accomplished by planting any the ‘Black Beauty’ Elder, which also has fragrant pink flowers in June and July, along with ‘Wine and Roses’ Weigla, with stunning flowers and foliage. The airy blooms of ‘Royal Purple’ Smokebush are equally attractive, as are the chocolate browns of ‘Diablo’ Ninebark, which flowers white in June and July or the rich burgundy/pink tones of barberry.

For others, that same cruiser can inspire anxiety, worry, and even fear or anger. Last Friday night, in a quiet room at the McLean Communi- ty Centre in Ajax, a small but vocal group discussed the sources of that anxiety. The meeting, co-sponsored by the Pickering Caribbean-Cana- dian Cultural Association (PCCCA) and It Takes A Vil- lage, brought local minority youths together with communi- ty leaders and a police repre- sentative, Constable Leon Pres- ner. "I want to know what you've experienced," said Const. Pres- ner, dressed in plainclothes as he scribbled down notes about the youths' experiences with po- lice. Most of the stories revolved around being stopped by police while walking in public, and being asked about crimes com- mitted in the area. They said of- ficers would often spend 10 or more minutes checking identifi- cation against a database in the police cruiser's computer. Some, though, had more dan- gerous encounters. A 22-year- old who wouldn't give his name told the group that police had been called to the scene when, as a teenager, he and his friends had been at the beach shooting at bottles with BB guns. "They pulled out their guns and yelled 'freeze'‚" he said. "They pulled their guns on you?" asked Const. Presner. "Yeah, so, we froze," he re- sponded. He then described being handcuffed and interrogated by police as people drove by, shak- ing their heads. While the group agreed the officers were justi- fied in drawing their weapons upon arrival, they felt the treat- ment received after police real- ized the guns weren't real was too harsh. Fred Gibson, vice-president of the PCCCA, cited a lack of police involvement in the com- munity as a major concern. "Back home (in Barbados), police would come down to the boys' clubs, and they would play dominoes or soccer," said Mr. Gibson. "There has to be re- spect on both sides." Const. Presner said plans to make policing in Durham Re- g ion more open to the commu- nity, especially to youth, are being discussed by top police of- ficials. Ideas suggested by the youths included having open houses at police stations, in which officers and youth would be encouraged to speak their minds about policing and its impact on lives. "We're trying to empower the youth by letting them know what their rights are," said Yaa Shange, executive director of It Takes A Village, a local support group for immigrant families. "There's somewhat of an un- easy relationship between the police and the youth. By bring- ing them here, we hope they can take the idea out of their heads that all police are bad."

The Pickering righthander tossed a complete game as the Trojans topped the Henry Street Hawks 11-5 in an all-Durham Prentice Cup On- tario high school baseball final Thursday at SkyDome. "Great effort," said Pickering coach Marc Picard of Wight's pitching. "He spaced the hits out and just gutted it out." Wight allowed Henry Street 12 hits, but was working with the luxury of a 7-2 lead in the second inning. Wight, limited to one relief appear- ance all season, came back from the injury and challenged the Henry hit- ters to put the ball in play, allowing just two free passes in the seven-in- ning game, striking out three. Pickering catcher Kevin Brown, 18, had four hits in the game, including a pair of doubles in the Trojans' hit- around second inning when they overcame a 2-1 first inning deficit to take control of the game. "Five years of hard work has finally paid off," said Brown, an OAC stu- dent. "Maybe at the start of the sea- son, I didn't think we'd be champi- ons, but as the year went on, we real- ly came together as a team." Neither the Trojans nor the Hawks were highly regarded entering the season, but Pickering went 13-2, and Henry Street went 15-2-1 to reach the final. In Thursday morning's semifinals at SkyDome, Pickering beat Toronto St. Michael's 12-3 and Henry Street turned back Ottawa Borden 8-1. "Sometimes you get one of those groups that plays well as a team, supports each other and just finds ways to win," says Henry Street coach Tom Buchanan, proud of his team, despite the loss. Henry's Mike Weir, who had three hits and scored twice, was blunt in his assessment of the final. "I'm disappointed we came here and we choked," said the centrefield- er. "I guess we were tired. I was up at 5:30 a.m. to catch the GO (train). Playing the early (semifinal) game and then with the break, I guess it just drained us." Pickering finished with 13 hits, tag- ging Henry's Bryan Leva with the loss. In addition to Brown's four safeties, Russell Skeete and Jamie Allen had two hits each for Pickering and Allen finished with three RBI from the nine hole. Other hits went to Anders Robinson, Steve Budai, Josh Brock, Tim Cozier and Wight. Weir and Mike May had three hits each for the Hawks, with Bruce Craine and Derek Ard adding two hits apiece and others going to Frank Underwood and Darryl Denyer. After Pickering took the 7-2 lead in the second, the Trojans built their lead to 9-2 by the fifth inning and cruised the rest of the way. Celia Klemenz/News Advertiser photo Pickering High School Trojans third baseman Russell Skeete puts the tag on Henry Street Hawks baserunner Frank Underwood during Prentice Cup final action at SkyDome Thursday after- noon. The Trojans captured the high school baseball champi- onship with a 11-5 win in the all-Durham final. Ajax racer finishes first, second in motorcycle series AAJJAAXX ---- The racing was too close for comfort for a local motorcyclist dur- ing Round 3 of the RACE Superseries at Shannonville Motorsport Park last weekend. Stuart Nodell, of the Nodell Motor- sports motorcycle team, raced his Honda RS250 in both the Pro 250 Grand Prix class as well as the fea- ture event, the Pro Formula, earning second- and first-place results, re- spectively. The Ajax rider qualified on the pole position for the grand prix class. In the Pro Formula class, however, he qualified on the outside of the front row, alongside rivals Phil Onisto, Jim Proulx, and Derek Vammus. The 250 race turned out to be excit- ing as perennial rival Mike MacNeil edged Nodell out of the lead in the final corner of the 10-lap final on the run to the checkered flag. "That was a close race and MacNeil out foxed me on the last lap," said Nodell. With the second-place result the team still holds a slim margin in the championship chase. Meanwhile, in the Pro Formula fea- tured event, Proulx grabbed an early lead from Nodell but, at the end of Lap 1, Nodell went underneath Proulx in the hairpin to take the lead. Va mmus made his way past Proulx and continued in pursuit of Nodell. Vammus made the final lap an all-out race to the finish line as the two lead- ers battled side by side in the final turn, but Nodell maintained the lead. "Derek and I had an exciting last lap with some incidental contact and we were fortunate to hold him off to win the race," said Nodell. It was his second win in a row in the Pro Formula series. The team's next event is the Can- Am 125 North American Grand Prix Challenge series in conjunction with the Formula USA event at New Hampshire International Speedway June 15.

Big weekend tests loom for Rock Lacrosse club looks to shake off poor effort, cement place in standings BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor DDUURRHHAAMM ----It could be a make-or- break weekend in the Ajax-Pickering Rock's plan to move up in the Ontario Lacrosse Association senior 'B' stand- ings. And, make no mistake about it, this weekend's games represent a tall order for the Rock (5-3-0) to take even one win, as they travel to Kitchener- Wa terloo to play their expansion brethren, the league-leading Kodiaks (10-0-1), Saturday at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday, the Rock hosts the second- place Brooklin Merchants (8-2-0) at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 2 p.m. Head coach Paul St. John said the Rock will have to play its best lacrosse of the season in order to pull off a sweep of the top two squads, some- thing they'll need to do in order to stay in touch with the top three teams in the standings. "If we go into Kitchener and win at home against Brooklin we'll be tied for third place. We would like to finish in the top three, instead of top four. We'd like to avoid (defending Presi- dent's Cup champion) Owen Sound in the playoffs if we can," said St. John. "We would like, at the very least, to get a split, but we could easily go 0-2. They're two very tough teams who are at the top of the league." The sense of urgency to complete a sweep was brought on, in large part, by a less-than-stellar effort last week- end for the Rock, including an igno- minious defeat at the hands of the Shamrocks 7-6 in Ennismore last Fri- day. It was the first win of the season for the Shamrocks, who entered the game with a dreadful 0-8 mark. The Rock did manage, however, to rebound at home by beating the last- place St. Clair Storm (1-9) 9-5 at the recreation complex Sunday. The damage was done with the upset loss to the Shamrocks, some- thing that still rankles St. John, given his charges were superior through most of the game, but lapses and un- timely penalties sealed their fate. "I was highly disappointed; it was a very big loss for us," he said. "It could mean that we won't be able to finish as high as third. You can't lose to teams that you should be beating." The loss wasn't a total surprise to St. John. With Ajax-Pickering having a young and inexperienced core of players, there was always the chance that a stinker of an effort was in the offing. "Sometimes teams surprise other teams and it happened to us. You have to give full marks to Ennismore - - they wanted to win and they de- served to win," he said. Conversely, the effort was much better the next day when the Rock re- bounded to earn a needed win over St. Clair. Although the Rock led 7-2 after two periods, the Storm re- grouped in the final frame to close the gap to 7-5 before Ajax-Pickering pulled away in the late going. Paul O'Grady led the way against St. Clair with four goals and an assist. Brad Cann had a goal and three as- sists, with single goals to Jeff Farmer, Ed Fines, Brandon Laforme and Nick Moeller. Scoring for the Rock against Ennis- more were Laforme, Tom Watt, Farmer, Chris McKeown, John De- rochie and Cann. PPAAUULL SSTT.. JJOOHHNN ‘Highly disappointed’ in loss to Shamrocks.
