PPiicckkeerriinngg:: Summer's just days away and almost all of Durham's beaches are open for swimming this week- end. During the week of June 9, water at Durham's beaches was tested by the Ontario Ministry of Health laboratory in Peterborough and only one beach, Frenchman's Bay East in Pickering, is posted as unsafe for swimming due to elevat- ed bacteria levels. The beaches that were tested and deemed safe for swimming were: Frenchman's Bay West, Pick- ering; Rotary Park, Ajax; Pickering Beach, Ajax; Whitby Beach East, Whitby; Lakeview Beach East and West, Oshawa; Newcastle Beach Central, Clarington; Elgin Pond, Uxbridge; Beaverton South Beach, Brock; Beaverton North Beach, Brock; Thorah Centennial Park, Brock; Kinsmen Beach, Scugog; Bowmanville East and West, Claring- ton. Throughout the summer, the Durham Region Health Department will be testing water at the above public beaches within the region.

Toronto is currently under fire for its failure to live up to f inancial agreements with GO Transit. As a result of $16 million in overdue pay- ments, improvements to two GO stations in the city are on hold. If left unresolved, the dis- pute could affect Durham as well, says Chairman Ander- son, a director on the GO Transit board. Part of the GO 10-year plan calls for a third rail to be added from Union Station in downtown To r onto through Scarbor- ough to the Pickering sta- tion. The added track would allow improvements to com- muter service for Durham. Already, Chairman Ander- son says, the 10-year-plan is turning into a 12-year-plan Report leaves rank feelings Growth study turns sensitive Creeks, aquifers raise concerns in Pickering BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Background data for the City's growth management study show lands are more sensitive to the east of the West Duffins Creek than the west. Three different aquifers and just as many cold water creeks makes those lands a significant water recharge area, said Ann Joyner, project manager for Dillon Consult- ing Limited. "Protection of the aquifers is key to land-use planning," she told Pickering council Monday night. "Integrity of the aquifers is dependent on minimizing land-use effects." Pickering is currently ex- amining its development op- tions for a study area consist- ing of Seaton, the Duffin-Agri- cultural Preserve and the Lamoreaux neighbourhood, just east of Duffins Creek. Later this week, five urban boundary options will be posted on the City's Web site (www.cityofpickering.com) in time for discussion at a public open house June 24 as part of Phase 2 of the project. Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner wasn't sur- prised to learn of the recharge areas. Past environmental work has pointed out the sen- sitivity of Seaton, but Monday night's overview of Phase 1's Toronto stops Durham's GO Durham boards claim school listing 'a very slippery slope to go down' BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Unlike local ed- ucators, Peter Cowley wants parents to rank Ontario schools according to their provincial test results. "The ranking of schools makes comparisons easier," he said. "Comparisons are the cornerstones of improve- ment." Mr. Cowley is director of school performance studies at the Fraser Institute (FI) and co-author of the 'Report Card on Ontario's Elemen- tary Schools'. The FI is an in- dependent, Canadian eco- nomic, social research, and educational organization that on Tuesday released a ranking of almost 2,900 On- tario elementary schools. The FI used nine perfor- mance indicators, all of which looked at Grade 3 and 6 Education Quality and Ac- countability Office test re- sults, to give schools a grade out of 10. Mr. Cowley said the rank- ings do not claim to be the be-all and end-all of schools, but are about the test re- sults, pure and simple. "It says what is happening Hospital changes forcing greater demands in Ajax, Pickering BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer AAJJAAXX ––––COPE is having trouble coping with an influx of new clients. The community mental health program is run through Ajax-Pickering Com- munity Care, helping adults with emotional or psychiatric problems. Volunteers provide emotional support to clients or help them acquire and use life skills. COPE is serving many more clients lately, said pro- gram manager Derrick Keene. "Ninety-five per cent of our referrals are coming from the Ajax/Pickering hospital," he said. "Because they are re- structuring, they are only going to (offer) acute care for people with mental illnesses." The hospital is cutting back on the number of support groups and referring more clients to COPE. Mr. Keene said that's good for the pro- gram, which wants its clients to be connected to their com- munity. However, there are not enough volunteers to carry the load: COPE is aver- aging eight referrals a week, and has just 11 active volun- teers. Katie Cronin-Wood, com- munications manager at Rouge Valley Ajax and Picker- ing hospital, said the reduc- tion in mental health services is part of the larger strategic planning process that is going on at the hospital. "The objective is to look at what services can be safely and effectively delivered in the community," she said. While the planning process began before severe acute res- piratory syndrome (SARS) put GTA hospitals on high alert, SARS has sped it up, said Ms. Cronin-Wood. It's not ideal to have patients with mental or emotional prob- lems coming to the hospital right now, she said. Beyond contracting SARS, the sight of hospital employees all wearing masks could be a frightening one. "You're not putting patients at risk and you're not having to put them through an or- deal they don't necessarily have to go through," said Ms. Cronin-Wood. The COPE program often seeks volunteers, but Mr. Keene said the need is desper- ate right now. "We have a referral list of about 70 (potential clients) and we keep getting more," he said, adding he would be "happy with 40" volunteers. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Jean Stewart, administrative assistant and volunteer, and program manager Derrick Keene are appealing to the community for more vol- unteers for Ajax-Pickering Community Care’s COPE program.✦See Giving page A2 A.J.

That agricultural land in the study area is classified on average as only Class 3 wasn't expected, Coun. Bren- ner said. Soil mapping showed agriculture as less economically viable in the southeast end of the study area, while the better agricultural lands are in the west side of the study area. While economically viable farming is possible, said Ms. Joyner, there are a number of limitations associated with its continued use. "The area is a reasonable choice for development within a provincial or regional context," she said Monday night. Coun. Brenner said he welcomed more clarification on that point at next week's open house as the classi- fication of agricultural land is differ- ent from some of the topographical maps he has seen. "I also want further clarification on the lack of economically viable farm- ing in the southeast end of the study area," he said. He was, however, pleased to see a natural heritage system laid out for protection and linking the Oak Ridges Moraine to Lake Ontario, Rouge River and the West Duffins Creek, but not taking in the full agri- cultural preserve. "The question becomes what kind of link," he said, pointing out some- times farmland isn't necessarily the same as environmental lands. Both the surface recharge areas and lower agricultural class land did- n't surprise David Steele either. The chairman of Pickering Ajax Citizens To gether (PACT) for the Environ- ment, said he has been saying all along East Duffins is more sensitive than west. "I've also met with farmers," he said, adding they know more than anyone about the viability of farming in the preserve.

"I look for a person who's willing to give more than they get." As well, Mr. Keene hopes to see more men volunteering, since most volunteers are female, and a range of ages, not just retired people. "I would like to see people still in the working world... because some of our clients were there and want to be back there," he said. After an interview to try and match the volunteer with a client, volunteers are trained for six weeks, learning how to communicate effec- tively and offer help. Jean Stewart is both a COPE vol- unteer and an employee, co-leading a support group for separated and di- vorced people. "It humbles you," she said of work- ing with the mentally ill. "You think you have problems and then you're with people who can't come out of their tunnel of depression." Since mental illnesses are invisible, "a lot of people don't understand it or are fearful of it," said Ms. Stewart. She noted, however, that one in four people will suffer from a mental illness at some point in their lives. Ms. Stewart described volunteering as very worthwhile, especially when you think you're getting nowhere with a client and then you have a breakthrough. "The rewards certainly outweigh the challenges, depending on the kind of client you have," she said. To learn more about volunteering or arrange an interview, call Mr. Keene at 905-686-3331.

"Toronto is part of that 10-year capital plan. Toronto owes (its por- tion of) one-third of that capital plan. Toronto has to be part of that." After federal and provincial funding announcements in the past year, GO was expecting to move forward, as early as next year, with implementation of the plan. But the expansion funding is based on a one-third sharing for- mula between each of federal, provincial and municipal levels of government. The GTA regions and To ronto pool their funding based on a formula that was determined when the Greater Toronto Services Board was functional. Durham's portion of the funding will be about $12 million annually once the expansion plans get under way, the chairman says. Cur- rently, only about $4 million of that is turned over to the Province for GO-related costs and the remain- der is divided amongst the Durham municipalities for transit initiatives.

As last week, Ajax's clerk's de- partment had received one phone call from a female seeking informa- tion, said Olive Struthers, an ad- ministrative co-ordinator in the de- partment. Pickering clerk Bruce Taylor said he isn't aware of any such inquiries before or after the ruling. The criteria for a same-sex couple would be the same as a heterosexu- al couple, Ms. Struthers said. That includes both parties signing the application, identification if one of the partners is not present when handing in the application form, and a certificate of divorce if that applies. The Ontario Court of Appeal ruled last Tuesday that excluding same-sex marriages was unconsti- tutional. Since then, same-sex cou- ples have been applying for a mar- riage licence. "Same-sex couples are capable of forming long, lasting, loving and in- timate relationships," said the rul- ing by the court. The court's defini- tion for marriage in Ontario states, "the voluntary union for life of two persons to the exclusion of all oth- ers". Courts in Quebec and British Co- lumbia have also made similar rul- ings. These rulings have put pressure on the Canadian government to in- troduce national legislation or ap- peal the provincial judgments to the Supreme Court. The Ontario court of appeal gave Ottawa only until the end of June to appeal. ✦✦✦ Canadians are reported- ly divided on the issue of same-sex marriages.

BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Alleged gunman Mar- lon Maragh falsely confessed to the Pine Ridge High School shooting just to "impress" an undercover po- lice officer he thought was a Tamil gang member, his lawyer says. The 23-year-old Scarborough man is accused of shooting Teran Richards four times with a .357-cal- ibre handgun April 3, 2001 during a pickup basketball game in the gym- nasium at the Pickering high school. Mr. Maragh was arrested shortly after the shooting and a car chase and three weeks later Halton Re- gional Police Constable Nishan Du- raiappah was planted in Mr. Maragh's cell, posing as a prisoner at the Oshawa courthouse. He bragged about the shooting, said he was protecting his "boys" and added if the victim came to court he'd "blow his head off," a jury has heard. He also boasted about his guns and told Const. Duraiappah he would've started a "shootout" dur- ing the police chase but there were too many officers. "They got so much evidence I'm just going to tell them it was self- defence," Mr. Maragh was quoted saying. He has pleaded not guilty to at- tempted murder, aggravated as- sault - a teenaged girl was grazed by a bullet - flight from police and g un charges. During cross-examination Mon- day, defence lawyer David Bayliss said Const. Duraiappah "complete- ly fooled" his client into believing he was a member of hardcore Tamil gangs known for extreme violence. "It was all lies and it was very easy... You're good at fooling peo- ple," Mr. Bayliss put to the experi- enced undercover officer. He then suggested Mr. Maragh was also "playing a role," portraying himself as a tough guy to the cell- mate he believed was a violent gang member. "You have no idea whether he was trying to impress you," he told the officer. Mr. Maragh's story sounded like "Cowboys and Indians," Mr. Bayliss said. "It's pretty wild stuff isn't it? I'm suggesting a lot of this was bravado." Const. Duraiappah said he wouldn't know if it was or not. Mr. Bayliss also pointed out that his client, at one point in the con- versation, explicitly denied the charges telling the undercover offi- cer, "I ain't do nothing." The defence is also challenging the accuracy of transcripts of the audiotaped conversations between his client and the officer, recorded by a hidden probe. Mr. Maragh's counsel contends some transcribed words are either missing or mistaken, dramatically changing the context of his com- ments. Long portions of the tape are in- audible and "it's pretty poor quali- ty," Mr. Bayliss noted. "There's a grave potential for con- text distortion," he said. He suggested to Const. Duraiap- pah some words attributed in the transcripts to his client are not heard on the audiotape, such as "I'll kill him." After the tape was replayed sev- eral times in the courtroom, the of- ficer disagreed with the lawyer say- ing the words "I'll kill him" are audi- ble. "We'll leave that up to the jury when they're deliberating," Mr. Bayliss snapped back. Mr. Richards, a 22-year-old Ajax man, was arguing with an opposing player over a foul during the after- hours basketball game when a spectator opened fire. He survived three gunshot wounds to the back and one to the elbow. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 18, 2003 PAGE A3 A/P Please drop nomination form in any Town Of Ajax Feedback Box, or leave with a staff member for forwarding to Operations & Environmental Services.

Media spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik said Durham Regional Police received an anonymous call around 9 p.m. June 12, alerting them that the man was in the vicinity of Altona Road and Hwy. 2. A uniformed offi- cer responded and saw a man matching the suspect's description at Rougemount Drive and Hwy 2. "He went to arrest the gentleman and as he was putting the handcuffs on a struggle ensued and (the sus- pect) escaped," said Sgt. Malik.

Derek Jason Powell, 34, was turned over to York Regional Police, which had issued the warrant for sexual as- sault and forcible confinement. But more SARS investigations get the all-clear BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staf f Writer AAJJAAXX –––– Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital is still managing to hold its own against severe acute respirato- ry syndrome (SARS). There are currently no prob- able or suspected cases at the hospital. One patient is under investigation for the illness, while 12 are in respiratory iso- lation, said hospital officials. Rouge Valley's Scarborough site reported one probable case SARS, three patients under investigation and 18 in respiratory isolation. Meanwhile, more tests have been ordered on a patient who died at Lakeridge Health Os- hawa earlier this month to de- termine if two "weakly positive" SARS results were accurate. The patient was not part of the initial investigation into a cluster of mysterious respira- tory illnesses linked to Lak- eridge Health Whitby's long- term care unit and the Lak- eridge health dialysis units in Whitby and Oshawa. The in- vestigation into the cluster of 15 patients sent hundreds of people into quarantine across Durham but, to date, none in the cluster has been diagnosed positive for SARS. The deceased man, an inten- sive care unit patient, died of a respiratory complication fol- lowing surgery. He became part of Durham's SARS inves- tigation along with another patient in the unit, who also died of respiratory complica- tions following surgery. All tests on the second patient were negative for SARS. The patient still in question had two test results return negative while two more re- turned "weakly positive," con- f irmed Dr. Don Atkinson, chief of staff for Lakeridge Health Corporation, Tuesday. Howev- er, he added, "There are a number of reasons that can occur. There is still not one sin- gle test for SARS. We have to look at a series of tests to get an answer. Tests may show positive for a variety of rea- sons." Mo re tests were expected by late Tuesday night and the hospital was hoping to have a conclusion from the additional results, Dr. Atkinson said. There was good news for other facilities in Durham, in- cluding Fairview Lodge nurs- ing home in Whitby, which was removed from the quarantine site list Monday. That followed news Colonial Retirement Home was cleared on Friday, June 13. The two seniors' facili- ties had been part of the inves- tigation that started with the Whitby hospital cluster. Some patients from that cluster are still under investigation but all patients in that group requir- ing hospitalization have been moved to the Oshawa hospital. Lakeridge Health Whitby re- mains a Category 3 - the high- est SARS alert - hospital, how- ever. In total, there are still 10 cases under investigation at Lakeridge Health Oshawa though none of them are cur- rently considered suspect or probable. Two Durham residents are listed as probable cases at North York General Hospital. However, there is no concern of spread within the Durham community as those patients were in North York General prior to showing SARS symp- toms and remained there since. Throughout Durham 41 pa- tients are being investigated and 644 remain in quarantine, according to the Durham Health Department. To date, 1,784 people have been dis- charged from quarantine in Durham since the second out- break of SARS on May 23. Due to extremely high call volume at the Durham Health Department, anyone with gen- eral inquiries is encouraged to check the Durham Region Web site at www.region.durham.on.ca. Calls into the health depart- ment are being prioritized. Anyone who is concerned they may have been exposed to SARS can call the health de- partment at 1-800-841-2729 or 905-723-8521. The Rouge Valley Health System Foundation is anxious to get the word out its largest fund-raiser of the year, the Moulin Rouge Valley Gala, is being held tomorrow (Thurs- day) night. The soldout affair was origi- nally slated for March 29 but was put on hold due to SARS. But Rouge Valley's infectious control specialists have given the event the go-ahead. "We are looking forward to leaving the stress of the last few months behind and kick- ing up our heels at the gala," said Hume Martin, Rouge Val- ley president and chief execu- tive officer. The gala is expected to raise more than $225,000.

Join the discussion at durhamregion.com in the schools in an academic sense; it doesn't say why," he said. He suggested it's not enough for a school commu- nity to point to their disad- vantaged neighbourhood and cite it as the reason for poor scores. "We've got to take those schools by the hand and say, 'what's your improvement plan for next year'?" said Mr. Cowley. "What we have to say is, 'guess what, it's a good news day... there are other schools in Canada... who have had just the same kind of challenges you have had and have overcome that'." Gerry Blake, superinten- dent of elementary programs at the Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board, said it was "inappropriate to rank and somewhat unfair", de- scribing it as "a very slippery slope to go down. "I don't think it's fair to schools that are trying to im- prove their performance. Even the EQAO... has said that blame and shame and inappropriate comparisons are harmful to education. Ef- fective comparisons in my point of view are (EQAO) school results to board re- sults to provincial results." Mr. Blake fears people will take the rankings at face value. A top-ranked school doesn't necessarily have the best teachers and students, he maintained. At the Catholic board, the top-ranked schools according to the FI report card are St. Leo Catholic School in Whit- by (7.8) and two Pickering schools, St. Monica and Holy Redeemer Catholic schools, both of which had a 7.6. Alternately, the four low- est-ranked schools are all in Oshawa: St. Joseph (3.2), Fr. Francis Mahoney (3.4), Holy Cross (3.8) and St. Gregory Catholic schools (4). N otre-Dame-de-la-Je- unesse, a French Catholic school in Ajax, had an 8.7 ranking. In the Durham public board, Ormiston Public School in Whitby and Prince Albert Public School in Scu- gog had matching 9.3-out-of- 10 rankings. Other high scores included Frenchman's Bay Public School in Picker- ing and Whitby's Jack Miner Public School, both of which scored 8.8. E.A. Fairman and Goodwood public schools, in Whitby and Uxbridge, respec- tively, had matching 8.6s. The lowest-ranked schools included Glen Street Public School (0.3), Mary Street Community School (1.7) and Gertrude Colpus Public School (2.1), all in Oshawa, and Lord Durham Public School in Ajax (2.5). "I think the Fraser Institute (report) is a good idea if it en- courages parents to walk into a school and talk to a princi- pal and teacher about the whole school program," said Craig Burch, education direc- tor of the Durham District School Board. It is not good if the rank- ings encourage people to think schools are failing stu- dents, he said. Mr. Burch said in studies such as the FI rankings, "there is a real bias towards economic factors." He is con- fident the Canadian public is "pretty sophisticated" and would not unfairly label a school as a result of the rank- ings -- or blame teachers. "Some schools have more kids in them that are strug- gling..." he said. "I think par- ents are most concerned about their own child and whether they are succeeding or not."

Police make arrest in gang stabbing Tw o teens stabbed in Ajax gang fight BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer AAJJAAXX ––––A 16-year-old surren- dered to police Monday and faces aggravated assault charges after a gang fight in which two teens were stabbed. Witnesses told Durham Re- gional Police a large group of youths armed with knives, ba- tons and a handgun jumped out of a grey van on Cornwall Drive and chased down anoth- er group of teens last Monday at 5 p.m. A fight involving 10 to 20 combatants broke out near Westney Road North. Two 17- year-old boys were found a short time later bleeding from injuries in a parking lot south of McLean Community Cen- tre, police said. One victim suffered severe stab wounds to his legs, in- cluding a major artery, and re- quired emergency life-saving surgery. "He's very, very fortunate (to be alive). He required a great deal of surgery," said Detective Constable Joel Melnick yester- day, adding the teenager lost a lot of blood and remains in hospital in stable condition. The second victim received serious stab wounds to the legs and upper body and was released from hospital Friday. Police found a loaded hand- gun and batons in Miller Park after the brawl, believed to be an escalation of a dispute be- tween Ajax and Toronto gangs. Investigators issued an ar- rest warrant last week for a 16- year-old Ajax youth sought in connection with the stab- bings. On Monday, the suspect, ac- companied by his father, sur- rendered to officers at the Os- hawa provincial courthouse at 850 King St. W. He is charged with two counts each of aggravated as- sault, assault with a weapon and single charges of carrying a concealed weapon, weapons dangerous and breach of un- dertaking stemming from a prior release. Meanwhile, the investiga- tion is continuing and "infor- mation is still coming in," said Det. Const. Melnick, urging witnesses to call police at 905- 579-1520, ext. 2524, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1- 800-222-8477. ...because education is important For further information on Community Newspapers in Education email us at newsroom@durhamregion.com This Week ● Canadian Statesman ● NEWS ADVERTISER ● Times-Journal P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 18, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Remembering passwords and codes a real challenge I 'm developing a serious case of 'Password' burnout. I suppose it's the price one pays for all the technological advancement and conve- niences enjoyed these days, but it's starting to drive me a little ape. How many times throughout my day am I prompted for a password or a secret code or an entry number? In other words how many times a day is my in- teg rity and honesty chal- lenged? Am I really who I say I am? So prove it... give me the password. I understand these things are there for my own protec- tion. I am glad my ATM card requires a PIN. Likewise I'm happy to know not just anyone can use my credit card online. Good thing too. I love buying stuff over the Internet. I am the guy all those We b sites love to see coming. Part of it is the fact I live in the country, some distance from major shopping areas, but mainly it's because I just think it's so cool that, with a couple of clicks of a mouse, stuff gets delivered right to my house! And they have things on the In- ternet that you just can't get anywhere else. Try and find a real store that sells 'budgie socks' or a 'solar-powered couch'. But I digress... badly. My point is, while I appreciate the need for security, I am not a se- curity-minded individual. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to hit that lit- tle 'Forgot your Password?' button. I tend to daydream a lot, it's part and parcel of what I do for a living. I also try very hard to live my life in the present moment. Un- fortunately that means that large chunks of the past some- times get bulk-erased. It's who I am. I'm not at all ashamed of it you understand, but there are some days when I could re- ally use a 'Forgot your name?' button. Some places, no doubt in an effort to deal with annoying people like me, have built-in safety devices to prompt you into remembering your secret codes and passwords. They may ask you for your mother's maiden name or the name of a special place i.e., 'Where you were married?' This would be very helpful were it not for my penchant for being particularly arcane when setting these things up. In my paranoia I always feel that anyone, with a modicum of digging, could discover things as mundane as my mother's maiden name or where I was married. And so, I cleverly outfox any would-be trespasser and subsequently myself, by setting up the most ridiculously convoluted ques- tions imaginable. Never does it occur to me at the time, of course, that I might, several months or even weeks later, have a little diffi- culty remembering 'the first place I saw a bird' or 'my moth- er's platelet count' or 'the num- ber of Confederate dead at Gettysburg.' As a result I spend an inordinate amount of time on the telephone with tech support. I think from now on, when they first ask me to create a password I will type in the words, 'I forget'. What a great password. I'd never be stumped again. "What's your password?" "I forget." "Come on in, Mr. Crone". ✦✦✦ Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

This clapboard house, built in 1885, is an excellent example of what may be the most typical and wide-spread style of domes- tic architecture in Ontario. It has seen little change from its 1800s original form. The family of William George Ham (who had been a member and captain of the Fire Company), owned the house for 72 of its 114 years. William Dunbar, owner of the lot in 1885, was a prominent merchant in the years 1880 to 1905 in the Village and was the grandson of the founder of Dunbar- ton. The house is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. Regular tests of integrity Minister’s order no surprise given details of agreement TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: Pickering's growth manage- ment study and the Duffin- Rouge Agriculture Preserve. I attended the May 14 'press conference' called by Mayor Wayne Arthurs to attack the provincial minister of municipal affairs and housing for taking the planning of north Pickering out of council's hands and putting it directly under the minister. As I advocated while a coun- cillor for creating the preserve, I am astounded to now hear the mayor. Three levels of government signed this agreement, includ- ing Pickering. The mayor's sig- nature is on it. Is he saying now that he didn't understand it? As I recall the agreement, the only land uses permitted within the preserve are farming or farm-related uses. This was to be in perpetuity -- meaning for- ever. Council should have sought the concurrence of our other two partners -- the Region and the Province. It's little wonder the minister removed Pickering from the planning process of these lands. If it was not council's intent to develop these lands, why in- clude them in a growth man- agement study? Why take $500,000 from three developers to study these lands? They have been studied to the extreme in the past. They ought not to have been included now. I wondered who showed bad faith with respect to this issue and concluded, from personal knowledge, that it was council - - not the Province. The mayor calls for our MPP's resignation. Mr. Mayor, look in the mirror. DDoouugg DDiicckkeerrssoonn,, PPiicckkeerriinngg The good and the bad for pedestrians TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'Bridging the messy traffic gap,' June 8. You win some, you lose some. I was happy to read a pedes- trian bridge will be built from the GO Station to the down- town, over the rail lands and Hwy. 401. As a pedestrian in Pickering, I appreciate all ef- forts to ensure pedestrian health, safety and convenience, and I hope the bridge will en- courage others to get out of their cars. However, I was dismayed to hear a Tim Hortons, with a drive through, is probably going to be built on the southwest corner of Liverpool Road and Bayly Street, opposite the GO Station. I, along with other brave pedestrians, daily at- tempt to walk across the Liver- pool and Bayly intersection to get to and from the GO Station. I think an already dangerous walk is now going to become even more dangerous.

As a concerned Canadian cit- izen and as a young adult in my early 20s, I feel this topic is of great importance. Public ex- pression of moral views should not be condemned just because it does not agree with the be- liefs held by homosexuals. As a Canadian citizen I have been given freedom of expres- sion and speech and that should not be taken away from me. I am deeply concerned about the recent challenges to the definition of marriage. I am writing to reaffirm my belief that this traditional definition of marriage be upheld. Three years ago a promise was made to Canadians; mem- bers of Parliament overwhelm- ingly voted to uphold the defin- ition of marriage, and I am holding the MPs accountable to their promise. I ask that if you have similar beliefs and feelings to contact your local MP, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General Mar tin Cauchon and the prime minister. It is our right to be heard and our time to act is now.

Now, you might have an understanding of how stu- dents, teachers, parents and principals at elementary schools across Ontario feel today after the release of the controversial Fraser Institute Report Card on Ontario's Elementary Schools. The report was made public Tuesday and looks at the Education Quality and Accountability Office Grade 3 and 6 test results from the past four years. It blends results in nine different categories and then spits out a number for each school from between zero (lowest) and 10 (highest). Some would say such a rating system offers a fair as- sessment of the standing of elementary schools. After all, don't students across the province have to write the same tests each year? Isn't the scoring on such tests an honest way to see whether a school wears a collective genius or dunce cap? The numbers are an indicator but they are no more persuasive of the value of a school than are the afore- mentioned IQ or paycheque figures equivalent to the value of a person. For a school is so much more than a gauge of the profi- ciency of a given class at words and numbers. Schools are also about people, programs and pride. The Fraser Report Card cannot measure the extracur- ricular activities put on at a school. It cannot adequately account for the extra effort put in by teachers to help struggling students, nor can it deal with the innovations principals introduce to make school an enjoyable place to be. Mo re than that, the Fraser Report Card doesn't make any effort to account for the obvious problems schools lo- cated in areas of low socioeconomic status face. Talk to principals and teachers at those schools and they'll tell you about the high turnover they see in students year- over-year. They'll talk about the many students they see who come to school hungry each morning and who may have little supervision at home many nights because they have a single parent who is working to keep a roof over her child's head. In short, the numbers can't be taken very seriously be- cause there is simply no level playing field with which to fairly evaluate school against school. What is important is to see every effort made to im- prove results within each school, year over year. Teachers and principals should not be worried about how their school is doing versus the school across town. They should be concerned about how their school is doing this year, versus how it was doing last year and the year be- fore. It's hoped parents, students, teachers and staff take a deep breath and not let the Fraser Report Card results get them down. For those schools which earned top marks - well, you know who you are and you deserve cred- it for your success. For those schools which did less well, we know you want your students to improve and we're confident you'll take measures to do better next time. Everybody, remember, it's a lot more than just about numbers. 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 cityofpickering.com905.420.2222 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL DATE MEETING TIME June 19 Statutory Public Information Meeting 7:00 pm June 23 Finance & Operations Committee 1:30 pm June 23 City Council Meeting 7:30 pm All meetings are open to the public.

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, respect 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.

The OAC student at Pickering High School in Ajax is a double- gold medallist after the recent provincial and national skills competitions. She simply sizzled in the electronics contests, frying the competition as she soldered and wired her way to victory. Ms. Cunningham won the On- tario Skills Competition May 27, her birthday, and the National Skills Competition the following weekend. "In elementary school, towards the last couple of years, I would help out with the school comput- ers," she said. "In high school, I saw that my school had a course in electronics." She took it, and her interest has developed into a real apti- tude, as displayed at the national competition. The electronics con- test lasted 12 hours over two days, with a heavy emphasis on the practical as opposed to theo- ry. Ms. Cunningham was required to troubleshoot, which involved identifying and fixing a circuit problem. She had to build cir- cuits after being supplied with parts she had to assemble, and the contest also saw her deter- mine the schematic of a circuit board. During the contest, the com- petitors worked in what Ms. Cun- ningham described as "almost like a little pen" under the watch- ful eyes of the judges. Alas, the Ajax student isn't planning to be an electrician. She intends to study computer sci- ence at either Ryerson University or the University of Toronto. "It isn't quite electronics, but I can still do electronics without making it a career," said Ms. Cun- ningham. Jasmine Ross, a Grade 11 stu- dent at Central Collegiate Insti- tute in Oshawa, also won a medal at the nationals. She picked up a silver in the baking contest to go along with the gold she earned at the provincials. Also earning medals at the provincial competition were: John Kenthol, a Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School student, in the ar- chitectural CAD animation con- test, who earned a gold (there is no national contest); Ren Park and Bill White from Central, who won silver in the home-building contest; Lawrence Coombs from Pine Ridge, a silver medallist in the mechanical animation con- test; Shamim Premji, also from Pine Ridge, who took home a bronze in the culinary arts con- test; Central student Heather Johnston, who won a bronze in the hairstyling contest; and Man- hal Elawar and Jason Stapley, bronze medallists from Anderson Collegiate and Vocational Insti- tute in Whitby in the Internet We b page contest.

Durham health running on empty Urgent issues eating up budget BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––The overwhelming de- mand of coping with SARS is affect- ing the Region's ability to provide other essential health services, a problem not unique to Durham. "We are trying to deal with the emergency in front of us and not meeting our mandatory programs," says Brock Regional Councillor Larry O'Connor, Durham's health and social services committee chair- man. Public health units are respon- sible for a number of services includ- ing prevention and education on health issues, restaurant and food management facility inspections, wildlife surveillance, West Nile virus, tuberculosis and other disease con- trol and water monitoring among its many mandates. Coun. O'Connor is also the presi- dent of the association of local public health agencies (alPHa) across On- tario, which held a conference in Os- hawa last week. At that meeting, there was a reaffirmation of the members' desire to see the Province address funding problems in the public health sector, he says. Associ- ation members are all feeling the strain of budgets that do not allow for unanticipated health issues to be effectively addressed while continu- ing standard services. "There are health units around the province that are nowhere near com- pliance with the Ontario Health Pro- tection Act," for delivery of mandat- ed programs, he says, even without consideration of the additional bur- den of unexpected health issues like SARS. "The Province needs to estab- lish a funding pool for us to deal with emergency issues. There needs to be long-term sustainable funding." In the past few months in Durham, many of the health unit workers have been reassigned to SARS-related duties and other pro- grams have been left without the manpower needed for those pro- grams, says Glendene Collins, the department's spokesman. Ontario Health Minister Tony Clement appeared at the Oshawa Holiday Inn for the alPHa confer- ence last Tuesday morning. He told delegates there his government is committed to addressing the current SARS outbreak and other public health initiatives, including funding for early screening for colon cancer. While he did not announce any new money specifically for Ontario's local health units, he did say "in the days and weeks ahead" there would be new program announcements to help deal with the acute SARS crisis and for public education. He also promised future "guidance and fund- ing to health units." "This is like the work of our prede- cessors when AIDS became a reali- ty," the minister said. "We have to help the public understand the need for behaviour change," such as hand- washing, infection-control measures and even changes in the way social gatherings are conducted. "We are going to work together to combat this new threat," the minis- ter added, pointing to Ontario's free flu vaccine program as one success- ful provincial initiative. More municipalities moving toward pesticide-free status Pesticides are poisons designed to kill a variety of plants, insects, weeds, mould or fungus. They can be absorbed through the skin, swal- lowed or inhaled. During applica- tion, pesticides can drift and settle on porches, laundry, toys, pools and furniture. Also, people and pets may track pesticide residue into the house. Over the years, reports have linked pesticide exposure to in- creased risks of leukemia, brain tu- mours and asthma in children. Re- searchers have also been looking at more subtle effects of low-level ex- posure, such as potential learning disabilities and behavioural disor- ders. For a long time, activists have been demanding a moratorium on cosmetic pesticide use and, at last, are becoming successful. Many municipalities have severe- ly reduced the amount of pesticide use on public land. In addition, Canadian towns such as Dundas, Ontario and Hudson, Quebec have bylaws banning pesticide use on private property. Halifax was the first major Canadian centre to ban pesticide use on lawns, doing so nearly three years ago. Following a strident debate between landscap- ers, who said their products could be used safely, and environmental- ists and doctors, who maintained the chemicals were causing an in- creasing number of people to fall ill, Halifax regional council voted in favour of a ban on pesticides to be phased in over four years. This spring, Toronto councillors voted 26-13 in favour of a bylaw re- stricting the use of pesticides and herbicides. Their use will be permit- ted only to those homeowners who have a serious infestation problem. This will be determined by a com- mittee comprised of environmental- ists, lawn-care industry representa- tives and City employees. The ban on pesticides will be phased in over three years, beginning with a public education campaign this year and next, advising people of pesticide- free alternatives. It was encouraging for me to see, in my area, fewer pesticide lawn signs than usual. My neighbour stated, "With four children and a dog, I decided not to renew my pes- ticide agreement. I think I can just go out and pull a few weeds!" A healthy lawn should contain a variety of grasses and clover. By over-seeding, aerating, watering ap- propriately, grass cycling, top dressing with compost, and pulling weeds, a lawn can be green and lush and welcoming of pets and little bare feet. ✦✦✦ TIP: To get rid of garden pests, blend three hot peppers, half an onion and one clove of garlic in four quarts of warm water. Let stand two days. Strain then spray on plants. ✦✦✦ Larraine Roulston is a Pickering-based freelance columnist, covering the latest in community recycling and waste reduction initiatives.

Go natural, it's good for everyone LLaarrrraaiinnee RRoouullssttoonn rr ee cc yy cc ll ee rr ’’ss cc oo rr nn ee rr BByy JJaannee MMccDDoonnaalldd Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––The way Gerry Collyer describes the Canadi- an Cancer Society's 'Relay for Life' cuts to the chase. "There are two things that really stand out to me," says Mr. Collyer, one of the organiz- ers of the Durham Region Cancer Unit's annual event. "It's not just another run around the track to raise some money. That first lap is so meaningful. There are chil- dren, people are in wheel- chairs, and some are in the middle of their treatments." Mr. Collyer knows whereof he speaks. Not only is he re- sponsible for co-ordinating that first 'Survivors' Lap' around the track, but as a sur- vivor himself, he also takes part. "People start clapping and many a tear starts to flow," he adds. "It's a tribute. When you first hear that word - cancer - it's devastating." Relay For Life involves teams of 10 people who take part in an overnight non-com- petitive relay. Participants take turns walking, running or strolling around a track and teams can be made up of members of corporations, communities, families and friends. The second point Mr. Colly- er likes people to know about is the 'Luminary Ceremony' held at dusk. Luminaries are special candles placed in bags with the names of cancer sur- vivors and loved ones lost. "We light the candles and a piper plays," he says. "We re- flect and remember." With the help of real life 'lu- minaries' like honorary chair- man Sandy Hawley, $275,000 has been raised so far from the June 6-7 relay when 118 teams took to the track at Civic Fields. The money from the third annual event goes for re- search, a fact for which both Mr. Collyer and Mr. Hawley are grateful. "I was saved twice by new drugs that have been devel- oped," Mr. Collyer says of his battle with leukemia. "I'm one of the success stories." Mr. Hawley is another. The first rider in the history of thoroughbred racing in Nor th America to win 500 races in a single season, Mr. Hawley was born in Oshawa and now lives in Pickering. But it was in California where the brilliant athlete was diagnosed with skin cancer. "I was diagnosed with malig- nant melanoma," Mr. Hawley told organizers at the Relay for Life kick-off meeting in Whitby last March. "I had a mole on my back. It was fifth level and I was not expected to live." Mr. Hawley underwent two major surgeries and receives a series of vaccine shots once a year. "I'm very lucky to be here because the vaccinations worked for me."

See page B3 Champion! Fe licien goes back to back to make collegiate history for Illinois BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----City resident Perdita Felicien envisioned going out a win- ner in her collegiate outdoor track and field swansong Saturday night. And, the University of Illinois se- nior would not be denied. After earn- ing her way to the final of the 100- metre hurdles at the 2003 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Champi- onships in Sacramento with a blis- tering, personal-best time of 12.68 seconds in the semifinal, she edged Big Ten Conference rival Danielle Carruthers of Indiana University in the final. Her time of 12.74 seconds secured her second consecutive NCAA crown in the event. "I was so excited after that race," said Felicien Monday. "It was my last outdoor race and I wanted to win that title so bad; it was my mission to win." With it being her last outdoor race for Illinois and with consecutive hur- dles titles at stake, the 22-year-old could have been excused for being a little nervous. Although she admit- ted to thinking about it in the hours leading up to the final, just before the race she was a picture of concen- tration. "I woke up and went to the track early to have a warm-up," she re- called. "I knew there was a lot at stake and it was my last race out- doors. I reminded myself how much I needed that title, but on the line it was business as usual. There was a lot of pressure, but it was from no one else but myself." Her gold-medal performance did- n't go without incident, however. Running in Lane 4 beside Lolo Jones of Louisiana State University in Lane 5, Felicien got off to a great start but, at the second hurdle, Jones veered into her lane, causing a slight collision. But, after crossing the line, she felt some discomfort in one of her arms. A closer look revealed she had a gash on her forearm, which later re- quired five stitches. "It was bizarre," said Felicien with a laugh, believing it was one of Jones' fingernails that clipped her arm. "It was an experience and I've got the battle scar to prove it." The victory was one that carried with it many significant milestones for the Canadian Olympian. Her back-to-back outdoor hurdles titles makes her just the second athlete in Illinois track history to accomplish the feat. In fact, she's one of only three U.S. collegiate hurdlers ever to win the event in consecutive cham- pionships. The three-time NCAA champion (one for 60m indoor hurdles) is also one of the most decorated track and field athletes in the university's his- tory. The 10-time all-American is tied for third place among all-Amer- ica honourees at Illinois. Her semifinal time of 12.68 sec- onds also set an NCAA meet record and eclipsed her previous school record of 12.73. "That race time I've run time and time again at practice, but to look up and see it on the clock and know that it was (wind) legal was special," said Felicien. "Now I know I can run with the big girls now. A time of 12.68 gets me into most international fi- nals. So, I know what I'm capable of now." She is, at turns, wistful, about the end of her outdoor track career at Illinois. While she still has one re- maining season of NCAA indoor eli- g ibility, her four peerless outdoor seasons wearing Illinois' orange- and-blue are marked indelibly in her memory. "Now that I'm back in town it's sinking in that it's over. I still have one season of indoor, but nothing beats outdoor track and field. I've had a great four-year run; I've had a great career." While her collegiate career may be winding down, her international track and field career is just getting started. She plans to race in Europe at some point this summer, al- though it's still tentative at the mo- ment. What she does know is she'll defi- nitely compete at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Victoria, B.C. July 18 to 20. The meet serves as the trials for the Canadian track and field team representing the country at the 2003 World Track and Field Championships in Paris, France Aug. 22 to 31. Two years after attending her first world championships in Edmonton in 2001, she still thinks about miss- ing the final after just failing to qual- ify out of her semifinal heat. "It still weighs on my mind," said Felicien who'll also represent Cana- da at the Pam-Am Games in Santo Domingo in August. "I need to have a great summer and (the world cham- pionships) will be my focus. I really need to get some confidence and momentum going into next year." News Advertiser file photo Perdita Felicien shows the form that earned her a third NCAA collegiate hurdles crown. Competing in the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, California Saturday, the Pickering Olympian captured the 100-metre hurdles gold, giving her back-to-back outdoor 100-metre hurdles titles to end her outdoor track and field career as a member of the University of Illinois Fighting illini. Felicien gets the royal treatment on Illinois campus PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----To the victor goes the spoils, and Perdita Felicien has been at the centre of a whirl- wind of media activity since re- turning to her home base of Cham- paign-Urbana, Illinois following her NCAA hurdles conquest. Felicien noted upon arriving at the local airport Sunday after- noon, she found a local television station filming her arrival and in- ter viewed her at the airport. She was initially shocked and somewhat embarrassed by the at- tention. But, she has since gotten over her initial reaction and has been busily doing a series of interviews to area media outlets since her re- turn. The Canadian Olympian takes it all in stride. "It has been great. I love talking to the media. I accept it as being part of the responsibilities as an athlete. I welcome it." Pickering cricket club squeaks past Ajax AAJJAAXX ----The Ajax Cricket Club fell just short of a victory in its game with the Pickering-based cricket club Satur- day. The Ajax cricketers hosted the Tringo Cricket Club, formerly the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Club. Ajax won the toss and elected to bat, scor- ing 138 runs for nine wickets in 40 overs. Bruce Maxwell and Amrish Deo- raj scored 34 runs apiece. The Tringo club earned the victory with 140 runs for seven wickets in 39.5 overs. Bowling for Ajax were Maxwell (two wickets for 22 runs in eight overs); Mozam Khan (one wicket for 18 runs in 6.5 overs) and Jason Clements (one wicket for 29 runs in eight overs). The Ajax club was rained out in its game against the Toronto Cricket Club Friday.

Guerrieri falls to fourth at Montreal Grand Prix PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ---- A Pickering race-car driver fell short of the podium and shy of a second consecutive victory in the Canadian Formula Ford Championship series stop at the Montreal Grand Prix last weekend. Chris Guerrieri placed fourth in the 15-lap Round 3 race, which was on the bill at the Air Canada Grand Prix week- end at the world famous Circuit Gilles- Villeneuve. Af ter winning the series opener at Mosport Speedway last month, the 19- year-old was one of the favourites in Montreal. An incident near the end of the race, however, put a damper on Guerrieri's afternoon. Aboard his Vector, Guerrieri sat second in the early going behind leader Andrew Bordin until Lap 11 when a slow racer pulled in front of Guerrieri. Didier Schraenen passed Guerrieri to take second place and then David Clubine went by for third place. The fourth-place finish meant Guer- rieri fell into a second-place tie with Clubine, each with 42 points, four back of current points leader and rookie dri- ver Dan Burchill, of Mitchell, Ontario. Round 4 in the Canadian Formula Ford Championship series is being held during the Molson Indy weekend in To r onto July 11 to 13. Sports Briefs JUNE 18, 2003 Ajax-Pickering Rocks Brooklin in lacrosse St. John earns bragging rights, dumps old club on lacrosse floor BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor DDUURRHHAAMM ----L acrosse stick? $119. Lacrosse ball? $5. Beating your old team and familiar rival on your home floor? Priceless. Ajax-Pickering Rock head coach Paul St. John still has a smile tat- tooed on his face after his upstart squad left it all on the floor in sur- prising the perennially strong Brooklin Merchants 7-3 in Ontario Lacrosse Association senior 'B' ac- tion at the Pickering Recreation Complex Sunday. Associated with the Merchants for several years as a player and coach, St. John left Brooklin to join the ex- pansion Rock this season. And, since that time, he noted bad blood has been building between him and some of his former players, not to mention the rivalry that has been smouldering since the two teams took to the floor for an exhibition match last month that was won handily by the Merchants. "To date, that was our best game of the season," declared St. John. "We beat a team that's a contender. Our guys played hard and wanted to win. "A fter the game, Eddie Fines came up to me and said, 'This one's for you', and that meant a lot to me. It puts us in the upper echelon of teams in the league and that's a good feeling." The win over the visiting Mer- chants (9-3-0 for 18 points, second in league) was a watershed moment for the expansion team (6-4-0 for 12 points, fourth in league). It con- firmed the Rock's status as one of the up-and-coming teams in the league. But, Sunday's game was in sharp contrast to the proverbial game- that-got-away in a close 6-5 loss to the first-place Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks in Waterloo Saturday night. Although the Rock came close against the league-leading and still unbeaten Kodiaks (11-0-1 for 23 points), it wasn't enough for St. John, who was adamant it was a game his young charges should have won -- and he let them know it in no uncertain terms. "I was very disappointed we lost and I launched into a kind of tirade after the game," said St. John. The common denominator in both games was the continued solid net- minding of Mike Miron, the lone pro MMIIKKEE MMIIRROONN Stellar goaltending. PPAAUULL SSTT.. JJOOHHNN Big win over former team.

Big summer of competition planned for NCAA champ on the Rock roster, having played with the Columbus Landsharks of the National Lacrosse League last season. "He was fabulous for us as usual," said St. John. "He has been unbeliev- able for us. He's allowing less than seven goals a game and that's phe- nomenal. He's a big boy, but you still have to move and he does. For him to allow only three goals against Brooklin Sunday was incredible on any level." The weekend also marked the in- jection of two new players -- Joe Hiltz and Grant Johnson -- into the lineup. They're ex-members of the Peterborough Lakers Major 'A' team. "They're really going to help us," said St. John, who's impressed by the leadership qualities the veteran players have brought to the Rock. In the win over Brooklin, the Rock built up a solid 6-3 lead after two pe- riods and never let the Merchants up off the floor. The Rock continued to play its run-and-gun style in the third period, while also playing well at the defensive end of the floor, holding the visitors scoreless. Jeff Farmer led the way against Brooklin with two goals and three assists. Captain Brad Cann con- tributed a four-point afternoon with a goal and three assists. Other goals came from Brandon Laforme, Nick Moeller, Rob Milnes and Hiltz. Other assists went to Paul O'Grady with three and Tom Watt and Miron. Against Kitchener-Waterloo, the game was close throughout. The Ko- diaks led 2-0 after the first period, scoring their second goal with a mere 1.9 seconds remaining. They continued to lead 5-3 at the second intermission. The Rock trimmed the deficit to one goal in the third, but couldn't net the equalizer. Laforme, Milnes, Farmer, Johnson and Cann scored for the Rock. As- sisting were Johnson with two, L aforme, O'Grady, Farmer, Fines and John Derochie.

T.A.G.S. is a completely volunteer program. T.A.G.S. also assists families by helping them to select an appropriate pet that will suit the needs of their family environment. From house training puppies to behavior training , volunteers are ready to make sure that the new dog makes the transition smoothly. All animals adopted through our program are veterinary health checked and vaccinated. Dogs are spay and neutered and the adoptive family will receive an 8 week behavior training program. As our program does not currently have a shelter, we depend on foster homes. Foster homes provide a loving environment for the animal until they are adopted to a forever home.

Don Hewitt moved to Ajax in 1985 from Toronto for "a quieter commu- nity" and since then he has bloomed. Hewitt began as a prolific doodler but then he faced retirement, heart surgery and said that it was time for "something fun." He began to take art lessons and painting watercolours. He decided recently to take "the next step" as he described, painting with oils, and "that altogether has a different effect," Hewitt explained. Hewitt has painted several ab- stracts and his collection consists of animals, birds, landscape and flowers. 'Midnight Burnt Forest' and 'Garden Secret', a branch of white flowers with a green back- ground, are just a few of his favourite pieces. His work is currently on exhibit until July 7 at the McLean Commu- nity Centre, featuring 34 pieces that include floral, abstract, midnight land, cabins, landscapes and oil paintings. One painting Durham residents may find "very recognizable," ac- cording to Hewitt, is a barn in Sun- derland. Other familiar images are the midnight scenes that have moons with trees taking place in cottage country. The community centre is at 95 Magill Dr. It is open to the public Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 10 :30 p.m. and Saturday and Sun- day from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is free. Hewitt takes the next step Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Art lovers will find plenty of recognizable images in Don Hewitt’s work. The Ajax artist currently is showing 34 pieces in an exhibition at the McLean Community Centre. Read up:durhamregion.com 'Elvis, Elvis, Elvis' concert pays tribute to the 'King' DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Courtice, Ontario, isn't that far from Memphis or Holly- wood or Las Vegas when the dis- tances are bridged by showman- ship. That's the inspiration behind Bernie Jessome's June 20 concert, 'Elvis, Elvis, Elvis.' The 60-year-old Courtice man, best known for his own realistic trib- ute to the late Roy Orbison, is work- ing behind the scenes this time. "This is a special show," says the local entertainer and producer. "I've been doing Roy Orbison for years and have worked with these people in different parts of the U.S." The people Jessome speaks of are three entertainers who individually portray Elvis Presley at different stages of the late superstar's career. Garry Wesley plays the 'young' Elvis; the 'comeback' Elvis is portrayed by Anthony Von and the 'La Vegas' Elvis is represented by Kevin Mills. "Garry Wesley is from Wisconsin," says Jessome of the tribute artist who often performs with the Jor- danaires and Elvis drummer D.J. Fontana. "He just won $50,000 in an Elvis contest ... Anthony Von is the Elvis I describe as the comeback in black leather. He's from Oakville and Kevin Mills, who will be doing the Las Vegas jumpsuit Elvis, is from New Jersey and now lives in Mississauga. There will be some- thing to please everyone. They've all worked extensively throughout the world, especially Anthony Von who has won the (Canadian Grand Champion title in) Collingwood, Ont. (Elvis) championship. "In my opinion, they are the best I've ever worked with," he adds. "We're putting on the very best show of Elvis we can, backed by the five- piece band 'The Memphis Connec- tion.' Tickets are $25 if purchased in ad- vance at Wilson and Lee Music Store, 87 Simcoe St. N., Oshawa or $30 at the door - Jubilee Pavilion, 55 Lakeview Park Ave., Oshawa - the night of the show. Proceeds from the concert will go to the Oshawa Cen- tral Lions club, which is co-present- ing the show and to Hearth Place Cancer Support Centre. The show begins at 8 p.m. Visit www.blentertainmentpro- ductions.com or call 905-432-1360 for more information. Dan Clancy always has a song at hand BByy RRoobb TToollssoonn Special to the News Advertiser DDUURRHHAAMM ––––'One Fine Morn- ing' Dan Clancy woke up and found himself the front-man for Canadian rockers Light- house. The Oshawa musician has been the front-man for Light- house since 1992. He had worked with Skip Prokop, the founder of the band, off and on for years, as well as singing on national TV and radio com- mercials for Ralph Cole, a co- founder of the band. "Bob McBride (Lighthouse vocalist) became ill and was unable to perform, so Skip and Ralph recommended Paul Hoffert (co-founder) to come out to the Tartan Tavern in Oshawa to see the Dan Clancy Band," he said. "They asked me if I'd be interested in be- coming the lead singer of Lighthouse. I said 'yes, thank you'." Clancy, 44, was a long-time fan of Lighthouse before he joined the band. "At the age of 13, I joined the Columbia Record Club as a member, and the first album I received was 'One Fine Morn- ing' by Lighthouse," he said. Throughout his musical ca- reer with Lighthouse, Clancy has had the opportunity to tour across Canada, coast to coast, a few times and also throughout Brazil. One of his most memorable concerts was on Canada Day 2000 on Parliament Hill in Ot- tawa. The event was televised across Canada as Lighthouse performed in front of 100,000- plus fans. Besides furthering his music career, Clancy is currently teaching various courses through contract, offered by the Entertainment Adminis- tration program at Oshawa's Durham College and he is playing in two bands. In addi- tion to Lighthouse, he fronts (natch) the Dan Clancy Band, as well as working on a num- ber of solo songwriting/record- ing projects. "I've played on several al- bums over the years," said Clancy. "More than 10, less than 50." The busy musician is work- ing on collaborative recording projects with long-time friend and well-known musician- songwriter Bob Johnston at the famed Grant Avenue Stu- dios in Hamilton, Metal Works in Toronto, Quest Recording and studio Solstice here in Durham Region. "I'm working on a family tribute CD entitled 'The Reso- lution', featuring Celtic and traditional Irish music and originals," said Clancy. "I'm also working on a Christmas CD, yet untitled, and a con- temporary jazz album called 'Smooth Grooves'." Aside from performing, Clancy has his own record label. "Collective Records is my in- dependent record label," he said. "I have released two recordings on the label since its inception in 2000 which have received moderate atten- tion to date." Born in Etobicoke, Clancy began singing solo in front of an audience at age seven. By the time he was 11 he could also play guitar. Over the years he has been in about seven bands and learned to play piano/keyboards and the man- dolin. Clancy attended elementary school at Holy Cross Roman Catholic School in Oshawa. He went to high school at Paul Dwyer before going on to col- lege at Fanshawe in London, where he took a music indus- try arts program. He's been a musical consul- tant and silent observer of tal- ent for many years. "It brings me great pleasure when I'm approached by indi- viduals and/or parents seeking advice," he said. "I help to cri- tique their talent, give guid- ance for improvement and help forward their submis- sions to the 'gatekeepers' in the music industry here in Canada." Clancy believes the Canadi- an music market has become too focused on the hit single and that image has become more important than the indi- vidual performer's talent and message. "Everyone has a chance and no one should be discouraged," he said. "Do what you do best and are most comfortable with, as it will make you better, stronger and more able to cope and survive in this busi- ness in the long run." Lighthouse is kicking off a series of one-night soft-seat theatre shows around the Golden Horseshoe, but first it will be playing Mississauga April 10, Brampton April 11, Kitchener April 12, Barrie April 13, Markham April 14, and Port Hope on April 15. During these shows the band will be recording a live CD to be released in early 2004 on True North/Universal in Cana- da and Rounder Records in the U.S. "We're also performing a number of summer festivals throughout the country, the closest being the Festival of Lights in Peterborough on June 21," said Clancy.

'lichen' grows on reading public DDUURRHHAAMM ––––More than 100 peo- ple celebrated recently as 'lichen,' a literary journal pub- lished in Durham Region, cele- brated five years of publication. The editors of the journal, which publishes creative writ- ing and visual art, welcomed a standing-room only crowd to the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa for an evening of music and readings from past and current contributing writ- ers. Surrounded by the gallery's collection of Canadian art, writ- ers and poets from Durham presented their works. "It is a wonderful setting," ed- itor Ruth Walker remarked. "And great fun to be mixing con- temporary writing with fine art." 'lichen,' published in Whitby every spring and fall, presents literary works to the reading public and has featured several local writers who had never been published before. "We have two very special mandates," said Steven Laird of Oshawa, another of the five edi- tors who produce the journal. "We look for talented, unpub- lished new writers and artists, and we especially look for them in Durham Region." One of the evening's readers, Debra Franke of Courtice, had her first published work in 'lichen,' and has since gone on to be published in other maga- zines. Whitby's Nora Landry and Lucy Brennan also read. Jer- amy Dodds and Cameron Esler, both originally of Orono, screened a "cine-poem," a mixed-media presentation of spoken word, music and video. Interval music was provided by Ajax resident, harpist Liane James. Gwynn Scheltema, one of the founding editors noted, "I'm overwhelmed at the level of sup- port we have received from so many people. It is encouraging to know that others feel as pas- sionately about 'lichen' as we do. We were especially touched by a note accompanying a large pri- vately-raised donation which read 'Without 'lichen'...Durham voices would not be heard, and for this we are truly thankful.' Each issue of 'lichen' contains contemporary poetry, short sto- ries, artwork, and occasional re- views and essays. The editors receive hundreds of submis- sions for each issue. "We're already looking down the road to the next five years. We have enough plans and ideas to fill 20 issues, certainly enough to keep 'lichen's' readers sitting on the edge of their seats!" says Ingrid Ruthig, one of the five editors. Contributors and readers come from the United States, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia as well as Canada. 'lichen' can be contacted at 234-701 Rossland Rd.

But this summer, they will take to the waters of Lake Scu- gog on board the 'Woodman.' At the turn of the last century, as many as 25 steamboats plied the waters of the lake. The 'Woodman' ferried passengers from Port Perry to Lindsay while others worked as tugs manoeuvering lumber barges on the local lake and Kawartha wa- terways beyond. The coming of the railway would put an end to the steamboat busi- ness. Until now. McDonald will provide the music for cruises aboard the new Wood- man this summer, thanks to Betty and Ed Penny, owners of Scugog In- land Cruising. "It's registered as a Canadian ship," says Mrs. Penny. "We're build- ing it from scratch to look like a riverboat. The name was unclaimed since it went out of service." But steam will not power the 75- ton, 55-foot-long, 20-foot wide craft. Two diesel engines of 225 horsepow- er each will give the Woodman a cruising speed of 11 knots per hour. This is the largest vessel her hus- band has built to date. "It will also be the largest vessel in the lake," says Mrs. Penny. "The biggest in 70 years." The historical event will hopefully have a launch date of July 1. McDon- ald and her musicians will be among 100 passengers when they entertain inside the windowed salon of the Woodman. A crew of at least four will sail the ship during 90-minute tours, which will include historical narratives, interspersed with big band and jazz music. "We want to bring back the feeling that riverboat cruises had," says Mrs. Penny. "It will be like a step back in time." Modern amenities will be offered, such as dinner and dancing during three-hour cruises. "It will be li- censed with a bar aboard and the food will be catered," adds Mrs. Penny, who travelled with her hus- band to Florida and the Maritimes to see how other cruises operated during the research phase of the venture. As the official launch date ap- proaches, more information about taking the 90-minute tours or even chartering the Woodman will be made available. As for Lynn McDonald, she's look- ing forward to taking to the water in more ways than one. "You always want to do things worthwhile," she says. "And watch out for me by the fountains at the McLaughlin (Park- wood) estate." Summer concerts bound to entertain DDUURRHHAAMM ––––These are busy times for well-known singer-songwriter Lynn McDonald. With six recordings to her credit, she and her musician husband James MacDonald continue to bring live music to Durham Region, always trying something different, something new.
