Email: service@pickeringhonda.com A youthful exchange of ideas Program sees students travel the country BByy AAlleexxiiss SScciiuukk Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM –––– For six weeks this summer, 30 high school- aged students exchanged houses, communities and languages: surely a vacation to remember for the teens involved. The experience, dubbed the ‘Summer Work Student Exchange,’ is funded by the federal government. The program allows students to visit other provinces and, in some cases, work on their second language skills and learn about different ways of life. Durham students have been able to go to Quebec and New Brunswick through the program. While they are away in a new province and a new community the students work in a non-profit organi- zation and get paid mini- mum wage for their work. On the weekends, co-ordina- tors organize activities and outings. Quebec exchange stu- dents who’ve come to Durham have had the chance to go to Parkwood, the CN Tower, Niagara Falls, Medieval Times, Canada’s Wonderland, the Highland Games, a Blue Jays game and the Toronto Zoo. L aura White, one of the co-ordinators in Oshawa, said she is learning a lot from the exchange students. “It is so much fun because we get to do all these activi- ties we have never done be- fore,” said Ms. White. “Also, we get to learn a lot from the students because they are coming from a very different culture.” Although Ms. White is not fully bilingual, she said she received a lot of help fromAlexis Sciuk/ News Advertiser photo Stefanie Hanz and Stephanie St. Laurent were introduced to a whole new world recently as part of an ex- change program that brought them to Durham Region.✦See Students page A2 A.J.

MPs set to press same-sex marriage Emergency work awaits Ajax-Pickering hospital can’t wait for new building BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer AAJJAAXX ——The Ajax hospital emergency department is un- dergoing renovations for 11 days starting Tuesday. The work will add more iso- lations rooms to treat pa- tients with infectious dis- eases. As well, four new car- diac monitors are coming on- line to assess, diagnose and treat heart patients. “We are excited to be pro- ceeding with these renova- tions; they’re long overdue,” says Hume Martin, president and chief executive officer of the Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem. “The physical facilities in the department do not meet acceptable standards.” He says the work was planned before but delayed by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak. And while a new emergency department is in the final planning stages, Mr. Martin Public board works to clean up Pickering school BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— By the end of today, it should be gone. But those who saw the racist graf- fiti covering Rosebank Road Public School won’t soon for- get it. In black and white paint, the graffiti targeted Blacks, Jews, police and Christians, inviting the latter to ‘forsake Jesus Christ.’ A large image of what appeared to be the Devil was also painted on the school. “They’re in the process of cleaning it right now,” Jack Hall, the Durham District School Board’s manager of custodial services, said Tues- day morning. He agreed the painted mes- sages were “discouraging”. Mr. Hall said a firm was hired to sandblast the exten- sive graffiti, which generally covered the east side of the southwest Pickering school. Some window safety screens and doors on portables were also covered and will have to be repainted. Mr. Hall expected the work to take a day-and-a-half and speculated it would cost $600 to $700. “They go in and do it on an hourly rate, so I don’t know,” he said. The school custodians are on holidays so it was a neigh- bour who reported the dam- age. “I got half-a-dozen calls this morning,” said Pickering Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. “There was a soccer game last night in the park behind the school. Parents and kids at the game were just shocked.” Coun. Brenner says he be- lieves the words written on the school constitute a hate crime. Durham Regional Police Detective Constable Em- manuel Iheme said police were alerted to the graffiti Sunday and the street crime unit is investigating. “We’re not sure when the graffiti was painted,” he said. —— WWiitthh ffiilleess ffrroomm JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Issue will create debate at caucus meeting, says McTeague BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ——An Ontario Court of Appeal ruling that says laws preventing gays from marrying are discrimi- natory amounts to “outra- geous judicial activism”, says Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague. And, he expects the issue of redefining the term marriage to permit homosexuals to marry will be the big issue when the Liberal caucus meets in North Bay next week. “There’s no doubt it’s the most pressing issue MPs are facing across the province,” he says. Mr. McTeague opposes changing the definition to allow same-sex marriages, saying the “primary function” of marriage is procreation. The MP is critical of how Prime Minister Jean Chretien has handled the situation, claiming the ruling over- stepped the role of Parlia- ment. “The prime minister had an obligation to defend Par- liament’s interest. He decided Vandals deliver hate message in Pickering ✦See Emergency page A2 ✦See MPs page A5 all of the students. “Some of them couldn’t speak a lot of English when they came here, but they have improved a lot since they have been here. Some of them are now fluent. I think they had a great time this summer.” The 30 students arrived in Durham June 29 and departed for Quebec on Aug. 9 with a brand new vocabulary and life-long friends. Club Canadien Fran- cais in Oshawa acted as the local host organiza- tion for the 30 teens while they were here and many of them used the facility as a hangout. On July 26, the stu- dents even held a fund- raiser at the club to raise money for local charities. Over $200 was raised through a car wash and a barbecue. Seventeen-year-old Camille Robitaille from Montreal said the experi- ence was a lot of fun. “It is a different experi- ence. It is a new thing in my life and I [have] found that I have a lot of confi- dence now in myself,” said Ms. Robitaille. She said that before she arrived she knew no English. “I knew nothing at all. I came alone and all of that made it a little scary,” said Ms. Ro- bitaille. “The rules are very dif- ferent,” she added. “In general it is OK, but it is more strict here.” One of Ms. Robitaille’s friends, Vivianne Be- langer from Laval, agreed that the rules in Ontario are much different than those in Montreal. “The legal age is older here,” said Ms. Belanger. “In Quebec there is more partying and Oshawa is a little bit smaller than Montreal,” said Ms. Be- langer with a laugh. The two teens worked as day-camp counsellors for the YWCA and YMCA and say that working with children forced them to speak English faster in order to keep up. “There are some of the children who are in Im- mersion French and they will speak to me in French,” said Ms. Be- langer. “But I am trying to go faster in my re- sponse [in English].

However Mr. Martin is asking the public to do what they can to reduce the load on the depart- ment. Namely, patients who do not require emergency care should call their family doctor, a walk-in clinic or Te lehealth Ontario rather than com- ing to the department. Mr. Martin says the department generally receives about 125 patients a day. “Ideally, we would see half of that during this period,” he says. When the work is completed, Mr. Martin says the Ajax site will have 22 isolation rooms throughout the hos- pital. The rooms in the emergency department will help prevent the spread of infectious diseases, includ- ing SARS, but will also provide more privacy for patients. “It’s an open environment now and I think this will enable us to provide care in a better environment,” says Mr. Martin. He notes that the cardiac monitors are being installed thanks to money raised in the Mayors’ Charity Classic, the annual golf tournament fund- raiser for the hospital. The renovations are slated to take place Aug. 19 to 29. A temporary, walk-in emergency entrance will open on the Harwood Avenue (east) side of the building beside the current emergency department entrance.

Ex-Leaf captains Wendel Clark and Rick Vaive, the only Leaf to record multiple, 50-goal seasons, will join Ashley Taws on Aug. 16 between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Ms. Taws is the 19- year-old Formula 1200 race car dri- ver from Newmarket who drives the eye-catching, ‘Be Anything with Barbie at Wal-Mart’ car in Canadian Formula Ford Racing Series. The Terry Fox Extravaganza Celebrity BBQ continues Aug. 17 be- tween 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. when a mystery guest will be on hand. Sandra Armstrong, organizer of Pickering Terry Fox Run, says apart from being a good time for a good cause, the run kick-off will provide residents with information about the Sept. 14 run and welcome volun- teers who want to pitch in. “We just want to let people know it’s coming up and this is how they can help,” she said. The celebrity barbecue aims to build upon the success of last year’s event. Ms. Armstrong said about $14,000 was raised at the 2002 barbe- cue, part of the roughly $120,000 gar- nered from last year’s Pickering run. Apart from grilled treats on the barbecue and Krispy Kreme donuts, the event features a raffle and Amazing Loot Bags.

Community’s chariot awaits Hindus celebrate Ratha Yatra Sunday; huge parade planned BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——Go on, admit it; you’ve wondered what it looks like inside. Well, consider yourself formally invited to come over for a visit and a bite to eat. It is the Devi Mandir temple on Brock Road, south of Taunton Road in Pickering. This Sunday the Hindu com- munity celebrates Ratha Yatra with a grand parade that ends at the temple, where the public is invited to visit Devi Mandir and enjoy a free meal. Ramdaye Sonny, one of the event organizers, explains Ratha means ‘chariot’ and Yatra ‘to walk with God.’ “To walk along with the chariot or to ride in the chari- ot symbolizes the surrender- ing of one’s life to God,” she says. “Ratha Yatra has been celebrated for over 5,000 years in India, and is most popular in the cities Mathura and Vrindaban. Ratha Yatra oc- curs two days before Jana- mashtmi, or the birth of Lord Krishna, which will be cele- brated this year on Aug. 19.” The highlight of the celebra- tion is the grand parade, fea- turing floats, chariots, an ele- phant, music and dance. The parade starts at 10 a.m. at Pickering’s City Hall, One The Esplanade, travels east along Kingston Road and then north along Brock Road to the temple, where it is due to ar- rive at roughly 11:30 a.m. The parade and celebration are open to all members of the public. Ms. Sonny notes that it’s the first time this event will take place in Durham, an indica- tion of how large the Hindu community has grown — not just in Durham but the entire GTA. She says people come to the temple from all over the GTA, including Whitby, Os- hawa and Bowmanville and as far afield as Brampton and Mississauga and all points in between. The chairman of the temple lives in Etobicoke. Still, there are a lot of Durham people who aren’t yet aware of the Devi Mandir be- cause they are new to the area. “We’ve had so much housing development in Durham; a lot of people have moved into the region and don’t know about us,” says Ms. Sonny. Established in 1989 in a small farmhouse at 2590 Brock Rd., the Devi Mandir began with seven families who pooled their resources to buy the property. The 15,000- square-foot building that is today’s temple now counts over 1,000 families as mem- bers, says Ms. Sonny. Devi Mandir hosts guest profes- sors, lecturers and performers from all over the world and is a gathering place for cultural, religious and academic events. Classes are offered in math, English, computer ap- plication, music, dance and Hindi. Ms. Sonny says the classes are all free and the public is in- vited to attend. In fact, the temple is open to the public seven days a week, and after most services a free meal is served.

Officer dies from injuries Death toll climbs on deadly stretch of road BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––A Durham Re- gional Police special constable described as a “vibrant young officer” has died following the latest serious crash on Durham’s deadliest road this year. Flags at headquarters in Os- hawa were lowered yesterday as police and civilian personnel mourned the death of court se- curity officer Dan Lee, 23. The Port Perry resident died Monday at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre, where he was on life support since suffering massive head injuries four days earlier in a two-vehi- cle collision on Simcoe Street, in north Oshawa. Court staff and police col- leagues of Mr. Lee, hired by the force as a special constable in January, expressed shock and sadness at the tragic news. “Some of the guys are really shaken up. It’s pretty quiet around here today,” a sombre Constable Jeff Gibson said yes- terday as he stood guard near the front entrance of the provincial courthouse at 242 King St. E., Oshawa. Mr. Lee, a civilian employee of the force, had been with the court services unit for less than a year, but long enough to have left “a lasting impres- sion,” Const. Gibson said. “He was just a wonderful, vi- brant young officer who had a really bright future ahead of him. He was a pleasure to be around. It’s a real shame. We were really hoping he’d get through this. It breaks your heart,” he said. Mr. Lee, whose family was too distraught to comment, played goal on an amateur hockey team and had plans to go to police college, other offi- cers said. It all came to an end at 10:10 p.m. Thursday on Simcoe Street, north of Raglan. The Rosa Street resident was travelling south in a Chevy Blazer when he was “side- swiped” by a northbound Buick, which crossed the cen- tre line, police said. The Blazer rolled on impact and Mr. Lee was ejected from the SUV. “It wasn’t a direct head-on collision, the other vehicle came in contact with the dri- ver’s side of Mr. Lee’s vehicle,” said Sergeant Tim Whiteway, in charge of the major collision investigations unit. The driver of the Buick, an unidentified 43-year-old Os- hawa woman who works at the Great Blue Heron Casino, was not hurt in the crash. Sgt. Whiteway said alcohol and weather conditions were not factors in the collision and traffic was light at the time. The investigation into the crash continues amid growing police concern about the mounting traffic death toll on the stretch of Simcoe Street Nor th between Oshawa and Port Perry. Seven of the 15 deaths on Durham roads in 2003 have been on the same stretch of roadway with a trag- ic history of traffic deaths, Sgt. Whiteway said. Witnesses to Thursday’s col- lision are asked to call Consta- ble Rene Berentschot of the Traffic Services Branch Colli- sion Investigation Unit at 905- 579-1520, ext. 5227, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. McTeague has caused ‘no damage’ to accuser BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ——A small claims court judge should dismiss a claim filed by a political opponent of Liberal MP Dan McTeague because the man has “no cause.” That’s the argument made by Mr. McTeague’s lawyer Ian Donnell dur- ing a motion hearing in small claims court Thursday in Whitby. Chai- tanya Kalevar has filed a claim against Mr. McTeague, stating the MP lied about academic credentials during a nomination meeting in the early 1990s and in other materials for years afterward. Mr. Kalevar finished third to Mr. McTeague for the Liberal nomina- tion for Ontario Riding (since changed to Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge). In campaign literature, Mr. McTeague claimed he had a mas- ters of arts degree in economics from the University of Toronto. Sev- eral years later, when a Toronto newspaper discovered Mr. McTeague didn’t have a masters, he stated a staff member made the mistake and apologized. The MP does have a four-year bachelor’s de- gree. During the hearing Thursday be- fore Deputy Judge Shan Jain, Mr. Donnell said Mr. Kalevar’s litigation is “an abuse of the process. It’s done to punish, harass and embarrass. “It’s my submission he has no cause. He wants to use the court process to embarrass Mr. McTeague,” Mr. Donnell added. “No matter how well meaning Mr. Kale- var is, what he’s doing is oppressive, malicious and vexatious. “I want to put the best blush on this. Mr. Kalevar truly believes in what he’s doing, but he has to be cognizant that what he does affects others. It’s no less a vexatious liti- gation because he believes in it. He’s wrong and he has to be held accountable for wanting his own way. Likening Mr. Kalevar to Don Quixote, Mr. Donnell said, “He sees transgressions where they don’t exist. He’s run amuck. It’s vexatious and malicious. “There’s no damage to Mr. Kale- var. He has suffered no losses. There’s no cause of action. He can’t show he’s been disadvantaged. It’s unfortunate he wasn’t successful in the elections. But, Mr. McTeague should not be the talisman for his failures.” Prior to the hearing beginning, Judge Jain told Mr. Kalevar that as the plaintiff, Mr. Kalevar has to show how Mr. McTeague’s actions directly affect- ed him. Mr. Kalevar originally took the matter to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, arguing Mr. McTeague was being treated differ- ently than Jag Bhaduria, a former Liberal MP who had falsified acade- mic credentials. However, the com- mission ruled it didn’t have jurisdic- tion. Mr. Kalevar appealed that deci- sion all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled it wouldn’t hear the matter. He’s since gone to small claims court, arguing lost salary because he would have won the nomination and the subsequent elections if vot- ers knew about Mr. McTeague’s ed- ucation. Mr. Kalevar had only started pre- senting his case Thursday when the judge adjourned the case to Dec. 3. “I am just speaking the truth about Mr. McTeague’s lies about his degree,” Mr. Kalevar said. “Why is Mr. McTeague in the Liberal caucus but Mr. Bhaduria isn’t? People in the Liberal Party accommodate Mr. McTeague but don’t accommodate Mr. Bhaduria. They failed in their duties.” Mr. Kalevar said the “key ques- tion” was whether Mr. McTeague had a masters or not. But, Judge Jain stated Mr. Kale- var has to address how Mr. McTeague’s academic credentials affect Mr. Kalevar. During an all-candidates’ meet- ing leading up to the nomination, Mr. McTeague claimed to have earned a masters during night school from the University of Toron- to, Mr. Kalevar said. He also included a letter from for- mer Progressive Conservative MP Rene Soetens, who stated he heard Mr. McTeague claim to have had a masters.

McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada launched a program last September to support Breakfast for Learning, Canadian Living Foundation. Since then, McDon- ald’s has donated 10 cents from the sale of every brewed coffee sold on a Friday to Breakfast for Learning. Between last September and the end of March, $170,000 was raised in Ontario, including $6,600 in Durham Region restaurants. The funds raised here will go to local nutrition programs through Durham’s Child Nutrition Project (DCNP). During the last school year, more than 12,000 Durham kids accessed a program support- ed by DCNP. The McDonald’s program is over at the end of August. not to. The majority (of Canadians) hold the definition to what it is,” Mr. McTeague states. “I think when MPs are seized with fundamental judicial tyranny, we’re in deep and troubling waters.” The role of MPs is up for debate, he adds. “If judges make the decisions, there’s no reason to hold elections,” he says. “We have to define what is the court’s role. What’s the appropri- ate role of judges, what’s the appro- priate role of parliament?” In a letter to the prime minister, dated July 8, Mr. McTeague stated, “The issue of advancing homosexual rights and the ensuing edict aimed at redefining marriage are therefore en- tirely the products of an erroneous judge-made law.” The prime minister decided against appealing the Court of Ap- peal ruling to the Supreme Court. But, he wants the Supreme Court to make a judgment on the wording of legislation to permit gay marriages. One item in the legislation is giving churches the right to refuse to marry homosexuals. Changing an institution that’s been the foundation of society for thousands of years can’t be done overnight, says Mr. McTeague, adding the ruling is “contrary to pub- lic” opinion. “Marriage is an important and very sacred thing to most,” he adds. Mr. McTeague wasn’t planning to attend the caucus meeting, as his wife recently had the couple’s third child. Also, the release of William Samp- son from prison in Saudi Arabia has cut into time he wanted to spend with his family. He’s spoken with other Ontario MPs and the correspondence from constituents is “the heaviest they’ve received,” Mr. McTeague notes. He’s also received more than 1,000 letters, e-mails and phone calls from constituents. The vast majority are opposed the gay marriage, he says. The input from constituents was- n’t heavy when the court ruled, but “it’s beginning to have a cumulative effect.” It’s a full caucus meeting, he notes. The caucus usually meets once a week when parliament sits, but the House has been on summer vacation so there’s a lot of material to cover. “This one is front and centre.” The Canadian Alliance plans to reintroduce a motion, approved in 1999, calling for Parliament to reaf- firm the definition of marriage as that between a man and a woman.

The purpose of this study is to: • Provide a better understanding of where growth should occur • Preserve significant cultural and environmental lands • Represents the interests of all parties involved • Undertake this work in an open public process The Tory Government wants to take this study away from you! This has never been done to any other municipality in Ontario! To sum it up,the Tory Government will plan the Seaton Lands in Pickering behind closed doors, without meaningful input from the taxpaying residents of Pickering!

None of the options are ac- ceptable -- none provide real choices. They are mere varia- tions on the same theme. All ig- nore the rather conservative Seaton Community Group Plan and modern smart growth principles. The only recourse available to the public is political. Con- servation of our countryside and money depends on a patri- otic enlightened public de- manding change that preserves our countryside and resources. Land use planning decisions should not be decided by devel- opers and those who serve them. The City should commission a new growth management study, publicly financed, that is done by independent planning consultants that examines: • Opportunities for infilling, redevelopment and intensifica- tion; • Other options such as a population distribution of 80 per cent within existing urban boundaries and 20 per cent at Seaton. The City should assign the easements on the Agriculture Preserve properties to the On- tario Farmland Trust while ex- ploring ways of supporting local agriculture with infra- structure such as: a farmers' market, a public abattoir, dairy products processing, soy bean crushing and products manu- facture. The Pickering brand could become a symbol of quality and purity for Toronto consumers. LLoorrnnee AAllmmaacckk,, CCllaarreemmoonntt Seniors opinions vary on tax credits TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: Most seniors will keep tax credits, July 13 The writer states that he or she has spoken to many se- niors, who reject the view ex- pressed previously in letters written by seniors, that they would gladly give up any prop- erty tax credits in favour of larger school budgets. So far so good, and as the French say 'chaque un a son gout,' (each to their own taste) That point was made clearly to be understood by every reader. When drafting letters, any kind of letter, the writer must place himself in the reader's shoes and establish that what the writer intends to convey is clearly understood by the in- tended recipient. L.A. Cooper (the letter writer) then refers to the provincial Liberal platform for the next election and goes on to say "part of that likely includes doing away with the yearly property tax credit for seniors of under $1,000 on incomes of less than $25,000." What yearly property tax credit for seniors of under $1,000? Perhaps the writer would be so kind as to elucidate. GGuuyy CCoollmm AAjjaaxx Police spending must be put under control TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'Police budget pressures seem never-ending,' editorial of July 7. Thank you for giving space to a subject that has needed attention for a consid- erable length of time. Now that the chairman's seat of the police commission has been vacated, it may be the time to put the commission under the control of the ap- pointed members. I have long advocated at least one member of the commission should be elected, thereby giving the pub- lic an opportunity to express their needs. The fact is the more we spend on any service the more it will grow. Unlimited spending could lead to a police state. The money we do not spend on education, especially in the area of civics, the more we will have to spend on policing, and the more on courts, and the more lawyers, and the more on jails, etc... EEdd GGooeerrttzzeenn,, OOsshhaawwaa P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 13, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Big Gladys has big plans for my autographed pics Very occasionally I get fan mail. Not from Canadians mind you. Canadians, you may remember, do not watch Canadian TV shows. I know. I 'm Canadian and I don't. No, most of my fan mail, believe it or not, comes from Europe. Appar- ently I can't walk down the street in Upper Liechtenstein without getting mobbed and I'm huge in Mermansk. I did have one groupie from the Maritimes for a short while. She sent me tins of Moose Meat. No lingerie, no suggestive polaroids, no per- fumed propositions...moose meat. Go figure. Recently though, I think I hit a new low. I received a fan letter from the Arizona State Peniten- tiary. My fan (in the interests of privacy we'll just call him 'Big Gladys') referred to me as a 'Big Star', a 'Huge Celebrity' and 'ex- tremely talented'. Apparently they don't watch Canadian TV in Arizona either. It didn't take me long to real- ize that Big Gladys had no idea who I was, nor did he really care. He had gotten my name off of an Internet 'Celebrity' list and was hitting me up for as many autographed pictures as he could lay his bloodstained hands on. These in turn he would sell for 20 cents a copy to any interested cons, using the profits for such prison necessi- ties as smokes, drugs or, if he were really frugal, perhaps ac- quiring a small Latino cell mate. To Big Gladys's credit he as much as told me so. This was a scam to earn him a little mad money. I might actually have sent him a few pictures had he not tried to con me further into thinking that he was really doing this to try and turn his life around...20 cents at a time. You see, he also happened to men- tion, just in passing, that he was only two years into a 65-year sentence. Sixty-five years. You have to have done something particularly monstrous to get 65 years, even in Arizona. (I think President Bush's old stomping grounds, Texas, is the only place you can still get 65 years for a parking infraction. It's the death penalty if you run a meter out and you happen to be black.) Anyway, I figured Big Gladys probably knew his way around a wood chipper pretty well, if you get my drift. Also, you had to figure if a peanut brain like Big Gladys was into this scam, then proba- bly every other con in the joint was hip to it too. They'd be swapping celebrity pho- tographs around in there like hockey cards. And if Robert DeNiro or Al Pacino were the equivalent of a Phil Esposito or Wayne Gretzky, then I'm sure I'd pretty much be the Eric Nesterenko of Celebrity photos. I'd wind up in the spokes of the prison exercise bike going 'clack, clack, clack, clack' like a motorcycle engine. I'm not sure if my ego could take that. Needless to say I didn't send him any photographs, signed or otherwise. Maybe I'll send him some of that Moose Meat. That stuff doesn't go bad does it? Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

In 1808 Nicholas Brown, his wife Esther (Rogers), and his five brothers and five sisters (20 in all) joined the Quaker settlement along with 40 other families. The Hicksite Separation of 1828 would see the split of Quaker communities throughout North America. All that remains of the Hicksite facility is the burial ground (located in the back part of the property of the Cinnabar Kennels), re- ferred to as the ‘Hicksite / Brown’ cemetery. Oh, those fan letters Click and say Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Costly health cure Lakeridge unhappy, Rouge Valley Ajax-Pickering satisfied W hile a shortfall of few million may not seem like much when you ask for $214 million from the Province of Ontario, Lakeridge Health officials will tell you otherwise. For them it's the difference between providing a full slate of services at five hospital sites and department cuts officials don't want to consider. That was the fallout from the latest hospital-funding announcement from the Province to its 161 hospitals. Health care funding is easily the No. 1 demand on provincial budget funds and thus the No. 1 headache for the provincial government. And, it seems, no matter how much money is devoted to health care and how much is paid out, the health care beast continues to de- vour more and more money and is never satisfied with what is delivered. Consider the amounts received by Lakeridge Health from the Province in the years 2000-2003: • In 2000, LHC received $156.9 million from the Min- istry of Health and Long-Term Care;. • In 2001 that amount climbed to $176.4 million; • By 2002 the ministry's total of LHC's budget was $188 million; • The 2003 total is set at $203.9 million. For 2004, LHC was hoping to receive $214 million, but has been allotted $210 million from the Province. It's a never-ending crush on the taxpayer to keep up the needed funds. There is no simple answer, unfortunately, for this problem. Of course, priorities must be determined and expenses must be kept as low as possible. But that's why plenty of well-paid staff work at Lakeridge Health's corporate headquarters on Champlain Drive to manage the system, which, by the way, receives $53.556 million in operating income from sources other than the provincial government. But these other income sources rose far less drastically than requests for help from the Province: In 2000, for instance, LHC earned just $46.1 million from non-provincial government sources. It seems Lakeridge Health and other health-care providers will have to find more money outside the tra- ditional government pipeline or find a way to deliver services on a smaller budget, or at least, on a budget which doesn't increase as rapidly as LHC's does. At Rouge Valley Health Systems, to which the Ajax- Pickering hospital belongs, the mood isn't as gloomy as at LHC. Officials at Rouge Valley say the increase they expect amounts to about 3.8 per cent, more than the 3 per cent expected at LHC. Rouge Valley officials would welcome more, but then again, so would Lakeridge and 159 other hospitals across the province. The bottom line for hospitals is to ensure patient care and service is not hurt - regardless of the bottom line. 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 cityofpickering.com905.420.2222 Buy your tickets for A Spirit Walk TODAY!

If you can find room in your heart and home for a pet, we encourage you to consider adopting a homeless pet from us. Because of the serious pet overpopulation problem in the Ajax, Pickering and Whitby area, we have an ongoing need to place homeless animals in good homes. A pet can add untold hours of joy to your family and provide you with more unconditional love than you can imagine. Please consider giving a homeless pet a second chance. Visit our new animal services web-site at www.pawanimalservices.ca to read more about the importance of responsible pet ownership, to find a lost pet, or to offer a homeless pet a good loving home. PET SUMMER CARE AND SAFETY TIPS The following tips will help with the care and comfort of your pet during the hot summer months. Some are applicable year round. NEVER LEAVE AN ANIMAL IN A PARKED CAR IN WARM WEATHER. Even if the car is parked in the shade and the windows are cracked open. The interior of a car can reach excessive temperatures. Your companion animal could suffer from heat stroke, brain damage or even death. IF YOU LEAVE YOUR PET OUTSIDE FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME, MAKE SURE IT HAS ACCESS TO PLENTY OF CLEAN, FRESH WATER, PROPER SHELTER AND LOTS OF SHADE. It is not advisable to leave your companion animal outside for any extended period of time. IF YOU ARE GOING ON VACATION, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR COMPANION ANIMAL TO FEND FOR ITSELF. Arrange for a responsible pet sitter or a responsible boarding kennel to care for your pet. If you take your cat or dog with you, make sure it always wears a collar with current I.D. EXERCISE YOUR PET MODERATELY IN THE MORNING OR EVENING WHEN IT IS COOLER OUTSIDE. Use common sense and do not make your dog run behind your bike or roller blades. Don’t let your dog ride in the open back of a pick-up truck. The risk is too great for both your dog and other motorists. GROOM YOUR PET ON A REGULAR BASIS. Regular grooming will keep your cat or dog free of matts and excess hair, while also helping to detect fleas and ticks. Shaving an animal is not a good idea as fur actually insulates and protects the skin from sun and insect bites. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CAT OR DOG TO RUN AT LARGE. Warm weather means an increase in roaming animals. Make sure your companion animal is confined to the indoors or to your yard. SUMMER IS A GREAT TIME TO WELCOME A NEW ANIMAL INTO YOUR HOME. Make sure you are ready and committed to bringing an animal home for the rest of its life - not just the duration of the summer. If you are able to accept the responsibilities of being a pet owner, please visit the Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Animal Services Centre where there are many wonderful animals needing a loving home. S.

Concert makes mess of recycle opportunity Municipalities, businesses should step up to protect environment History was being made during the Rolling Stones concert. Except with regard to recycling where it was ‘same old, same old’ when cameras showed water bottles being vacuumed up with every- thing else. The comment following was “And oh, the garbage!” Quite possibly some of our U.S. neighbours who came to support Toronto passed those garbage trucks on their way home to Michi- gan. Bins to gather drinking contain- ers as well as large carts to collect unwanted food, paper plates and serviettes together with signs and announcements should have been detailed with the same intensity that went into transportation, health, security, electrical equip- ment, parking and refreshments. With such a large crowd, the very least cleanup crews should have done was to separate those bot- tles. Of course, if Ontario were on the deposit-return system, as are other provinces, bottles would have been taken home and those remaining as litter would have been collected by enterprising folks. Our history of waste will keep on repeating itself across the Greater Toronto Area until politicians and municipal officials mandate that planners, organizers, sponsors, suppliers and property owners in- corporate responsible resource management to be part and parcel of all events. A great opportunity was missed to promote enthusias- tically to 500,000 music fans and in- deed the world that Toronto can rock with recycling. The future is ‘Rs.’ ••• 3RS EVENT LAURELS: During the last Frenchman’s Bay Festival, organizer Dave Johnson ensured the City of Pickering had many re- cycling bins for pop cans, etc., and large green carts for unwanted food. This event resulted in 210 kilograms of organics going to Miller Waste’s composting facility and that most containers got recy- cled. ••• 3RS EVENT FUTURE: On Sept. 13, recycling will be on the minds of organizers with the Greenwood Village Festival. A 3Rs information table will be on site, along with bins to collect recyclables and un- wanted food. ••• 3RS EVENT QUESTION: Why do we not have a recycling bylaw as part of all public and private events that is also subject to the same spot-checking as the posting of a liquor licence? Who will take responsibility — the property man- ager, municipality or host? ••• 3RS EVENT ACTION: As most public places in Durham do not have recycling stations, take home containers and paper to your own blue box. ••• 3RS EVENT HISTORY: In 1996 Durham residents Jack McGinnis and Gail Lawlor were part of a team that helped set up the recy- cling system for the Olympics in Atlanta. Since that time, articles and books on ‘Greening the Olympics’ have been published, but so far these incentives have done little to change the prevailing attitude for event recycling. Public education by example needs the political will to make it happen on all fronts. When that day comes, we will make history!

CRITIC’S PICKS 3OPTION HOUSE WINES TM Keeping an eye on the news News Advertiser ..Read by more people in your community than any other newspaper Metroland Durham Region Media Group Durham man helps fight fires David Schwan in British Columbia BByy CChhrriiss HHaallll Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM –––– A Durham Region man has joined the fight against the fires in northern British Columbia and Al- berta which currently threaten to spread out of control across the two western provinces. Firefighters in both provinces, and those from across the country, have been battling at least three major blazes for almost a week now. The flames have spread around the Kam- loops area in B.C., where the provin- cial government has declared a state of emergency and near Lethbridge, AB. Thousands have been evacuated from their homes in both provinces, with officials in Alberta thankful for recent cooler temperatures and a drop in winds. The forecast, however, still calls for hot, windy weather in the northern B.C. area, as well as thun- derstorms. Hoping to put a dent, though, in the damage being caused by the stub- born blazes is 33-year-David Schwan, a Port Perry High School graduate who now works as a long-liner - pilot- ing a large cargo helicopter equipped with a long cable capable of picking up or carrying heavy objects such as rocks or buckets of water. Currently employed by Alpine Heli- copters, based out of Kamloops, B.C., Mr. Schwan has been sta- tioned in Blue Water, B.C. (100 kilometres north of McClure-Bar- riere and Louis Creek where one of the larger fires is now running wild across the wilderness countryside) for the last week where he’s been pulling eight-hour shifts flying into the fire zone and dropping buckets of water or fire retardant. His job there, however, is almost complete, he says. “It’s pretty much under control now, if the wind doesn’t change,” says Mr. Schwan. “The whole province is tinder-dry with no rain in sight for the next seven to 10 days.” Four helicopters with long-lines had been battling the fires there, but one was recently re-directed to the south, where Mr. Schwan believes he, too, will be sent. “I’m waiting for my orders, to be sent on to another fire,” he says, guessing that he will probably see ac- tion in the Kamloops area next. “The whole province is ready to go (up in flames),” he adds, noting that more than 100 hydro poles in that particular area, as well as a number of cellular phone service towers, have been destroyed in the fires, meaning months of repair work are ahead for local residents. The son of Sue Mar- tin of Scugog Island and Jim Schwan of Beaver- ton, David went on to study economics at Bish- op’s University in Sher- brooke, Quebec, before moving to Canmore, Al- berta, to live with family in his effort to fulfill his dream of becoming a he- licopter pilot. He worked odd jobs at local airports before obtaining his pilot’s license. From there, he worked as a guide giving flight tours of Banff and Canmore for two summers before upgrading his training for long-lining. He’s had his pilot’s license for about eight years now and has been long- lining for the past five years, says his mother. With more than 5,000 hours in the air, her son is happy, she says. “He loves it, he says he’s at peace when he’s in his helicopter,” says Mrs. Martin, noting that her son and his company “sit and wait for the fires,” which are an annual occurrence in that part of Western Canada. He was also part of the relief effort of Western Canadian firefighters and support staff who travelled to Northern On- tario last year to battle blazes in this province. “He’s happy, he’s getting lots of work,” she says. DDAAVVIIDD SSCCHHWWAANN ‘Whole province is ready to go’ up in flames’. DDUURRHHAAMM ––––They were a sight to behold as they rode through the streets of Whitby, Oshawa, Bow- manville, Port Perry, Ajax and Pickering this spring and summer. Twenty-nine cyclists strong, they put 58 feet to the peddles of a bicy- cle built for 30. The ‘Big Bike for Stroke’ is an annual Heart and Stroke Founda- tion event featuring the 30-seat bi- cycle, which tours Ontario from April to October. Teams of 29 riders are recruited and a driver is supplied. The individual riders raise funds in order to qualify for the unusual bike ride. In Durham Region, the 2003 ‘Big Bike for Stroke’ team members represented local businesses, and raised more than $140,000 for life- saving Heart and Stroke Founda- tion research. The top teams raised more than $35,000 for research and include employees from Ontario Power Generation, Osso Lighting, Dupont Canada, Wal-Mart and the Great Blue Heron Charity Casino.

The organization he’s been associ- ated with for more than 30 years has given him its highest award - the On- tario Dental Association’s Barnabus Day Award. The 59-year-old Oshawa dentist re- ceived the honour late last May as a long-standing member of the associa- tion who has brought international recognition to the practise of den- tistry in Ontario. And what a list of achievements it is, too long to list. That said, the following is a highlight version of his accomplishments: On the national stage, Dr. Shosen- berg served as president of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, which oversees dental specialties and regu- lations across the country. As the ed- itor of the Ontario Dental Associa- tion’s scientific journal, ‘Ontario Den- tist,’ he and his editorial team won ac- colades during his 15 years at the helm, including the prestigious Ken- neth R. Wilson Gold Award for best Canadian technical publications. Dozens of Dr. Shosenberg’s arti- cles, editorials and scientific papers have been published. He also au- thored the book, ‘The Rise of the On- tario Dental Association: 125 Years of Organized Dentistry.’ “As compared to a century ago, dentistry has advanced in terms of technology... and it’s a lot more com- fortable,” he says. “It was quite com- mon 50 years ago for people to have their teeth extracted, but thank heav- ens things have improved.” Of the strong belief that the health of one’s teeth relates to people’s gen- eral well-being, Dr. Shosenberg stresses, “If you can’t eat properly, it affects the overall health.” His work in public health has put this philosophy to work by bringing information and knowledge to the largest segment of the population. “I was in charge of a group of people that provided preventive services,” he says, modestly. Students in the public school sys- tem were some of the beneficiaries of the program. “I liked that a lot,” he adds of his time when he worked for the former City of Scarborough as di- rector of the dental health depart- ment, later becoming acting director of the city’s Communicable Disease and Clinical Services. “I felt we helped people a great deal.” Dr. Shosenberg’s profession was recognized at a national level during this time. He became a fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, following gruelling examinations cre- ated specifically for each dental spe- cialty. Twenty years later he was elected president of the prestigious college. When David Peterson’s Liberal gov- ernment set up a special council on health strategy for the citizens of On- tario, Dr. Shosenberg was seconded from Scarborough to serve as manag- er of communications and external relations. It would seem such a busy man wouldn’t have much time for outside interests. However, the good doctor is an acknowledged scholar of Napoleonic history, awarded a fellow- ship in 1997 by the Montreal-based In- ternational Napoleonic Society. “He was a great, bad man,” says Dr. Shosenberg of the subject he’s writ- ten several articles on. Now retired, he and his wife, Nancy are planning a trip to Europe this fall during which he will continue his research and study of the Napoleonic era. The Ontario Dental Association has a membership of 6,300 members. Of the Barnabus Day Award he re- ceived from his peers, Dr. Shosenberg humbly says, “It was a great honour to receive this. I’m grateful to the den- tal association for its recognition.” JJIIMM SSHHOOSSEENNBBEERRGG ‘I felt we helped people a great deal.’ Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Ride on, ace DDUURRHHAAMM –––– The Durham Cruisers Motorcycle Enthusiasts Club rallied 216 partici- pants for a motorcycle poker run in aid of the Big Brothers and Sisters of Clarington.

The U.S. collegiate outdoor 100- metre hurdles champion and NCAA female athlete of the year won silver after finishing second to Brigitte Fos- ter of Jamaica who took the gold in 12.67 seconds, edging out Felicien in 12.70, just 0.02 off her personal best of 12.68. Felicien was running out of lane one, an unfamiliar position for her. "I haven't been in an outside lane in years, I'm usually in the middle," said Felicien in a story that appeared on the Athletics Canada Web site. "I was basically running blind. I just decid- ed to put my whole focus on my race and go as fast as I can." Her season best of 12.68 seconds earned her a trip to Paris to repre- sent Canada at the 2003 IAAF World Championships later this month. Luttmer, a longtime member of the Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club now with the Royal Canadian Yacht Club of Kingston, was the other medallist from the city, winning sil- ver in the laser sailing class. With the silver medal still in doubt with two races to go, Luttmer pro- ceeded to reel off two consecutive wins to push past a Chilean sailor for the silver medal. Gold medallist and Brazilian Olympian Robert Scheidt easily won gold, winning the first 10 races to sew up top spot with two races to go. Last month, Luttmer posted first- place honours at the 2003 Canadian Laser Classes Championship at St. Margaret's Sailing Club in St. Mar- garet's Bay, Nova Scotia. A student at Queen's University in Kingston, Luttmer hopes to earn a berth on the Canadian sailing team heading to Athens for the 2004 Sum- mer Olympic Games. Pickering's other track athlete at the Pan Ams, Henry, will be awarded a bronze medal after the gold medal- list, Mickey Grimes of the U.S., test- ed positive for ephedrine, according to reports yesterday afternoon. Grimes will be disqualified. Henry had originally finished fourth in the final, but will be moved up to third place. A poor start was Henry's undoing in the race, finishing in a time of 10.30 seconds, just .08 behind Mardy Scales, of the U.S., who will now earn silver following his time of 10.22. Michael Frater of Jamaica finished second in 10.21, but will be declared the race winner with Grimes' dis- qualification. Henry is expected to run for Cana- da in the men's 4-x-100-metre relay at the world championships in France. The men's beach volleyball team of Djordje Ljubicic, of Scarborough, and Slean, of Pickering, advanced out of pool play, but were defeated by the American team of David Fischer and Brad Torsone in straight 21-17 and 21-17 sets in the quarter-finals. The U.S. duo gained control of the first set after breaking an 8-8 tie to take a 12-8 lead and didn't look back. The fourth-ranked Canadians went up 4-0 in the second set due to some untimely American errors. With Canada leading 5-1, Fischer and Tor- sone climbed back to tie the match at 5-5. Canada led for the last time at 6-5 as four blocks by Torsone pro- pelled the Americans to a 9-6 advan- tage. Ljubicic and Slean scored three of the next four points to cut the lead to 10-9, but Fischer and Torsone an- swered the challenge by scoring six of the next nine points to take com- mand of the match at 16-12.

Panthers prepare for new season Training camp starts Monday; pre-season opener Aug. 21 against Peterborough Bees BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— The Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers plan to continue to make inroads toward respectabil- ity this season as the junior 'A' hock- ey club gets set to open its training camp here Monday night. And, with most every Ontario Provincial Junior 'A' Hockey League club, there will be the expected turnover in the roster. But, the Pan- thers hope to be less in transition this season when camp opens at the Pickering Recreation Complex's O'Brien rink at 8 p.m. The Panthers will have a full com- plement of 40 players in training camp, with two complete teams con- sisting of four forward lines, three sets of defencemen and two goal- tenders, notes Frank Robinson, the Panthers' director of personnel. The Pickering junior squad -- under the guidance of new head coach and general manager John Winder -- will not only have an abun- dance of rookies looking to turn the heads of the coaching staff, but they expect to have 11 returning players in the fold for camp, which contin- ues on Tuesday and Wednesday evening from 8 to 10 p.m. each night. The Panthers will then launch into a six-game pre-season schedule, starting on Thursday, Aug. 21 at the complex against the Peterborough Bees at 8:30 p.m. Of particular note entering the Panthers' camp is the expected re- turn of six defencemen from last year's team. Coming back are Peter Aston, James Roseborough, Ken Brown, Ryan Annesley, Bryan Hampton and Shawn Coultice. The defence "is the strength of our club. There's no doubt about it. The team will definitely be built around our defence," says Robinson, adding that Panthers' coaches nonetheless expect some fierce competition from the rookies at training camp who'll try to unseat one of the veter- ans from a roster spot. But, the blue line scenario with the Panthers isn't totally cut and dried. There's a concern that Aston may bolt for the Ontario Hockey League with the Peterborough Petes who've offered him a roster spot. But, Aston must first decide if his hockey future is in the OHL or if he's prepared to hold out for an NCAA athletic scholarship, which would keep him with the Panthers this season. Another wrinkle with the rear- guard corps is the shoulder of Coul- tice. The second-year defenceman only recently had shoulder surgery, which was originally scheduled for June, but was cancelled due to the SARS outbreak. He's expected to miss training camp and may not be ready when the regular season opens in September. The Panthers hope to have five re- turning forwards from last season's team at camp. Expected back are Corey York, Jesse Toms, Andrew Dissanayake, Jamie Wright and Craig Johnston. Dissanayake, how- ever, will leave in early September for the OHL's Guelph Storm train- ing camp and may earn a roster spot there. The goaltending situation with the club is far from decided, as the club may have two returning goal- tenders or none coming into camp, depending on how certain scenarios unfold, says Robinson, who declined to be more specific. "Goaltending is up in the air," he says. The Panthers are still very much in re-tooling mode after a less-than- satisfying 2002-03 campaign, which saw the Panthers (final regular-sea- son record of 13-31-3-2 for 31 points) struggle under the weight of rookie players and injuries to key perform- ers through much of the season. As a direct result, the team finished in seventh place in the nine-team South Conference standings and were promptly swept from the best- of-seven opening round of the play- offs by the St. Michael's Buzzers. Robinson says this year promises to be better, but don't expect the team to make a sudden leap up the standings. ✦ Please see Defence, B2 ✦ Please see Athletes, B2 "We're still trying to rebuild here. We hope to be better than last year, but it would be dishonest to say we're gunning for the top spot. It's a gradual building process here," says Robinson.

Defence Panthers’ strong suit as team enters training camp Kirk comes up big at tourneys PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——A Pickering ten- nis teen continued her domina- tion on the court by winning three tournament titles in a two-week span. Maia Kirk, 14, captured the Toronto Megacity, the Mary Marshall and the CablePulse24 championships all within a fortnight, adding to what has already been a busy summer on court. Playing in the under-16 age category, Kirk won 12 matches in a row to sweep the three tournaments. Kirk closed out the Megacity event at the Rosedale Tennis Club with a decisive victory over top-seeded Richmond Hill powerhouse Lida Yermakova with a 6-3, 6-1 score. The match, lasting just over an hour, was in complete con- trast to the semifinal, which saw Kirk and her friend (and provincial doubles partner) Megan Bedeau of Scarborough battle it out for over three-and- a-half hours in 30C heat. Maia took the marathon 6-7(5), 7-5, 6-0 as Bedeau ran out of gas in the final frame. Earlier, in the quarter-final, Kirk defeated up-and-coming Laura Horning of Oakville 6-4, 6-3. Her first-round opponent, Toronto's Joanna Kyriakou, was dispatched in only 31 min- utes with a score of 6-0, 6-0. The Erin Mills Tennis Club was the setting for the Mary Marshall final between Kirk and Steffi Wong of Markham. Wong, last year's winner, went down in straight sets 6-2, 6-4. Strong winds made the playing conditions difficult, but Maia didn't drop a set in the entire tournament. She defeated Burlington's Sarah Lotto in the first round (6-2, 6-2), Maria Gassanova of Downsview in the quarter-final (6-2, 6-2), and Nadia Luchetta of Woodbridge in the semifinal (6-2, 6-3). With only a day's rest, Kirk was back on court, this time at Fitness Institute's Willowdale Club. The rare obstacle of play- ing on east-west facing courts (most are north-south) didn't seem to slow her momentum as she took all four matches in straight sets. Once again the final featured Megan Bedeau, but this time Kirk took the di- rect route, a 6-3, 7-5 victory. She had rolled to a 6-2, 6-0 win over Toronto's Erin Mulally in the first round. Her next opponent, Lindsay Bennett of Burlington, had defeated Kirk in the 2001 Provincials, but fell 6-1, 6-0 in 40 minutes. In the semis, tour vet- eran Gassanova, tuning up for the nationals, went down 6-3, 7- 5. John Long of Ajax Winter Tennis is Kirk's coach.

Glenn Ottaway and Friends will return for 'Magic, Music and Come- dy,' on Aug. 16, 17, 23 and 24. Ottaway's blend of comedy and magic includes plenty of audience participation "because people are great and it makes every show dif- ferent," the magician said in an in- terview in January when he ap- peared at Herongate. That doesn't mean he embarrass- es audience members, he was quick to point out. "My comedy takes a real odd look at things and hits them from a different direction." The Aug. 16, 23 and 24 evenings begin with arrivals between 6 and 6:30 p.m. The Aug. 17 show is a matinee be- ginning at noon. Reservations are required in advance. At each show a four-course meal is served. Cost is $45. Reservations can be made at 905- 472-3085 or at www.herongate.com. Everyone invited to join in for a night of musical entertainment AAJJAAXX ——It's time to pull the dust bunnies out of the old guitar. The Durham Region Folk Circle is inviting anyone with a desire to strum to come out and join its monthly jam session. "There's a group in Brampton with more than 50 members in it," relates Fred Brown, founder of the circle that meets monthly at the Ajax Legion on Hunt Street. "I moved to Ajax last year and started my own." Any acoustic instrument will do and the group includes members playing guitar, banjo and mandolin. Mr. Brown selects songs from the 'Rise Up Singing' folk song book and members practice at home the month prior to the get-together. The songs are easy enough for the begin- ner player, he says. "You don't even have to play an in- strument. Singers can come along too." The group practices the selected songs for the first hour and then, a guest performer will sometimes drop by, says Mr. Brown. If not, members who have written their own songs or have worked on other material will play for the group. Later, participants get the thrill of performing for an audience as the group heads downstairs to the Le- gion’s bar area to entertain patrons. "That's why we get the room for free. It's a great deal," says Mr. Brown. “We just lucked in to a night when no one was using it.” Membership is $20 a year. Anyone interested in joining in, can just drop by the Legion at 111 Hunt Street, the last Monday of the month. A.J. Groen/News Advertiser photo AAJJAAXX –––– David Lustgarten and Ian Winton are members of the Durham Region Folk Circle. The group, started by Ajax resident Fred Brown, meets the last Monday of the month at the Hunt Street Royal Canadian Legion. Anyone is welcome to come out and join in or sit back and listen.

This Saturday, Aug. 16, the band will be recording a CD live at Chatts in Ajax beginning at 9:30 p.m. and they're inviting blues, rock and rhythm and blues fans to join them. "Initially we got together in early 2002," ex- plains Lou DeAdder, the band's guitar player. "We are basically three veteran musicians who have known each other for about 25 years. We have all played many different styles of music over the years but this band is a blues-based trio. "It's not just blues but rather a blend of blues, R&B and funk with a few different things added as well. The instrumentation is guitar, bass and drums," says DeAdder. "Guitar is the featured instrument and if you are interested in this sort of thing I don't think there will be any disappointment. I use three guitars on stage: a Fender Telecaster, Gibson Les Paul and a Gib- son 335. I call them my harem of guitars. I'll be switching guitars a few times each set to get the feel and sound I want — along with the foot pedals that I use it makes for an entertaining array of sounds and tones." The band members, all in the 40-plus age bracket, have become philosophical over the years about their musical careers and are really enjoying the ride at this point, says DeAdder. "My outlook on playing at this point in my life is that I play every night like it will be my last. I had stopped playing the clubs for about six years and it is something that I never thought I would be doing again. I give it absolutely every- thing I have, always. Randy Begg on drums and Brett Piekarz on bass are always in top form. It's 100 per cent from the first tune to the last. It just comes from many, many years of experi- ence." The three share vocal duties. Now that the band has been playing steady for the past year, the guys thought a live CD was the next logical step, says DeAdder. Anyone going to see them at Chatts this Sat- urday will receive a free CD when it is available. The planned release is early fall. DeAdder, a member of the Toronto Blues So- ciety, Canadian Blues, and Blue Talk, says the band expects a full house because mail-outs were sent to all the members of those associa- tions along with everyone on the band's own personal mailing list. There is no cover charge for admission to the recording session. Chatts is at 368 Bayly St. W. For more information, call 905-686-2428. The band is also playing this week on Thurs- day, Aug. 14, at The Goose and Firkin, 1875 Leslie St., just below Hwy. 401 on the east side in Toronto, 416-383-1200. Start Time is 10 p.m. Also, they play Friday, Aug. 15 at The Earl of Whitchurch, 6204 Main St., Stouffville, 905-640- 8300.

The Oshawa Community Museum and Archives wants to show its grat- itude to the people who've support- ed the Henry House garden pro- gram with an appreciation lun- cheon, Aug. 21. The undertaking began in 2001 when fund-raising to beautify and upgrade the gardens literally fo- cused on one brick at a time. For $50, donors could have the name of their choice inscribed on one of the bricks, which make up the garden's pathways. Used in a variety of ways, the gar- den is the site of special events, teas and museum programming. Now the building of a brick walkway in the Victorian herb gardens, renova- tions on the deck of Henry House and the repatriation of a Ritson pear tree are under way. "The Ritson pear tree is native to Oshawa," explains museum curator Melissa Henderson. Local lore has it that a member of one of the City's oldest families, Mrs. John Ritson, planted seeds from a pear sent to her from Boston in the early 1800s. This was confirmed by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food in 1980, which determined the 'Ritson' to be the oldest pear tree in the province. The museum is made up of three historic homes; typical of the type Oshawa's early residents lived in during the mid to late 19th century. Henry House was the first of the three to be restored by the Oshawa Historical Society and was opened in 1960. The period home portrays the lifestyles and customs of its orig- inal owners who lived there from the 1850s to the 1890s. Thomas Henry, a clergyman and active participant in the develop- ment of Port Oshawa, moved his family into the stone house in 1850. The home remained in the Henry family until 1920 when it was pur- chased by General Motors of Cana- da President R.S. 'Sam' McLaughlin and his brother, George McLaugh- lin. They in turn sold the property to the town for $1. The other two houses that make up the museum site at the lakeshore are Robinson House and Guy House. It's not too late to buy a brick and have it inscribed. The third phase of the garden plan offers more bricks for sale. "The regular-size, red bricks can be engraved with any name a donor chooses," adds Ms. Henderson. "It can be the name of someone who has passed away. A lot of grandpar- ents are buying them for their grandchildren." The bricks can hold two lines of 10 letters each. About 100 have been sold so far and the museum hopes to install 500 personalized bricks be- fore the project is done. Call 905-436- 7624 for more information. The luncheon to acknowledge those who have donated to the gar- den improvement begins at 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 21. The Oshawa Com- munity Museum and Archives is lo- cated next to Lakeview Park at 1450 Simcoe St. S.
