HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2003_09_03UOIT’s first students get settled BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — And they’re off! Over 900 students begin classes tomorrow at the country’s newest university, the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology in Os- hawa. But it’s already been a busy week. Students have at- tended laptop computer and other orientation sessions, on topics such as ‘Academic Ad- vising’ and ‘Staying Afloat Fi- nancially.’ They’ve had their identification card photo taken, met some of their peers at fun night events and generally had a look around. One out of every four stu- dents, 230 undergraduates, have moved in to residence and are living on campus. Gary Polonsky, the UOIT’s president, on Tuesday said he was having “an amazing day” meeting students and watching the place’s history begin. “It’s like a birth,” he said. “We are giving birth today to a new school that many peo- ple believe will grow into one of the most important univer- sities in the country.” In some cases, the UOIT was ready for students barely in the nick of time. University staff took possession of the new residence building on Saturday night and students started moving in the follow- ing day. The new academic building was ready for use on Sunday afternoon and the first activities were held there Monday. There have been two elevator breakdowns, but Mr. Polonsky said they only put a small wrinkle into the sched- ule. One occurred as students were moving into the new res- idence building. No problem, he said “a bunch of big, strong people” was assem- bled to help the middle-aged parents of students lug the heavy stuff upstairs. The second elevator prob- lem occurred in the academic building Tuesday and the machine was back in service the same day.

Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Candidates ready to roll for Oct. 2 provincial election BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — The candidates are ready and the race has begun. Voters head to the polls on Thursday, Oct. 2 to pick a new provincial government. Running in Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge Riding are Janet Ecker for the Progres- sive Conservatives, Wayne Arthurs for the Liberal Party, Vern Edwards for the New Democratic Party and Adam Duncan for the Green Party. Ms. Ecker is seeking a third consecutive victory and, like her opponents, she’s ready to campaign. “We were ready in the spring, as you should be,” she says. “I think it’s time. We’re in our fourth year and it’s usually the practice to go in the fourth year.” And, issues that may have held up the election call, such as SARS and the electricity blackout, have been dealt with, she adds. “Voters are going to have a very clear choice in this elec- tion,” Ms. Ecker says. Mr. Arthurs says, “I’m ready to go. We’ve been cam- paigning for some months now. “This election is long over- due,” he adds. “There’s multiplicity of is- sues. We can focus on the fundamentals of education and health care,” he says. “We want to concentrate on communities, so what fami- lies can’t do themselves, that’s what communities are about.” A local issue is energy, he says, noting the City had wanted a full-scale environ- mental assessment on the restart of the Pickering nu- clear station ‘A’ side reactors. Mr. Arthurs is also running in the November municipal election, seeking another term as the mayor of Picker- ing. For now, he’s focussing on the provincial campaign. “Once I’m successful (provincially), it becomes a moot point,” he says of run- ning for two positions at the same time. Ms. Ecker says reliable leadership is an important factor in the election. The choice is between Pre- mier Ernie Eves, who she notes has “experience and is up for the challenges the province is facing” and “one who, with all due respect, isn’t up to the job,” Ms. Ecker states, repeating the party’s attack ads against Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty. “It will be a feisty cam- paign, there’s no doubt about it,” she predicts. Issues she expects to be One teen remains in hospital AAJJAAXX — A 20-year-old Scar- borough man faces numer- ous charges including aggra- vated assault after two young men were shot at an Ajax restaurant. Several gunshots were fired during an event at Sawhil Restaurant and Ban- quet Facilities, on Westney Road South, just before 1 a.m. Friday, Durham Region- al Police said. The victims, ages 17 and 18, received wounds to their legs and were taken to Rouge Val- ley Ajax and Pickering Hos- pital, police said. One teen has since been discharged while the other still remains in hospital in “guarded condition,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman.

Crown attorney Alex Hope argued yesterday in court that anything less than incar- ceration would send the “wrong message” to young people. The Crown is considering appealing the two-year proba- tion sentence handed down by Judge Donald Halikowski. Court heard the 16-year-old Pickering High School stu- dent purchased the cut-down .22-calibre rifle in early 2002 to defend himself against mem- bers of a street gang called ‘Kingpins,’ who he was told were coming to school to beat him up. When several intruders en- tered the school and con- fronted him in the cafeteria Jan. 11, 2002, he ran to his locker and retrieved the loaded weapon. His attackers were waiting for him in the front lobby, where they assaulted and dragged him toward the doors, court was told. The Grade 11 student fired at one of his assailants, miss- ing the target. No one was hit and the bul- let lodged in a door frame. Now 18, the teen pleaded guilty to possession of a pro- hibited weapon in June and after a trial was found not guilty of pointing a firearm and another weapons charge. In his decision to acquit, Judge Halikowski ruled the student was certain to receive a “severe beating” and acted justifiably in self-defence. During a sentencing hear- ing yesterday on the prohibit- ed-weapon charge, Mr. Hope said the teen’s crime “de- mands a period of incarcera- tion. “This took place in a public school, during school hours... He took it upon himself to arm himself with a weapon that is capable of killing,” he said. “Taking a gun to school and firing it is not acceptable. I am asking you to send a mes- sage to other young people: Guns in school should equal jail.” Defence lawyer Reid Ru- sonik said the youth, who was expelled from school but is el- igible to re-apply, accepts re- sponsibility for his actions. “He knows what he did was inappropriate, it was wrong, it was dangerous.” Ironically, the teen took a gun to school not for a crimi- nal purpose but to “feel safe,” he said. At an expulsion hear- ing in February 2002 principal Alan Monks conceded gangs and intruders are a problem at the school, Mr. Rusonik added. “I didn’t want to kill any- body... I had to protect myself. I was scared. I felt if they am- bushed me and I showed them the gun it would scare them off. I never intended to use it,” the teen earlier ex- plained. Several days prior to the shooting, he bought the rifle for $50 in the school parking lot from a man known as ‘Ghost.’ Between exams Jan. 11 a large group walked into the school cafeteria and circled him. “Someone pointed me out to them and they surrounded me. They were arguing with me saying I beat up their friend,” he said. “I was so petrified... I ran to my locker and I got my gun.” With the rifle concealed in his jacket, he returned to the lobby and was confronted by the group again. “They formed a circle and I was in the middle. They were going to beat me severely or kill me... I was able to break free and I pulled out the gun... I didn’t want to die... I just thought this would scare them off,” he said. Judge Halikowski said the youth made a “big, big mis- take. What he did was in fact grievously wrong.” The teen, who was accom- panied to court by his parents and grandmother, apolo- gized. “At the time I thought it was the only thing I could do. I’m just sorry for every- thing I caused to the commu- nity,” he said. The judge noted he has no record and has paid a stiff price for his actions. He placed the teen under a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew for the first 12 months of probation and ordered he not possess weapons for three years.

Accused gunman in court Thursday ✦Accused from page A1 News from all over Durham Region Now online at durhamregion.com More than 850,000 page views per month The News Advertiser This Week The Canadian Statesman Uxbridge Times-Journal Metroland Durham Region Media Group Here’s some tips to help get better grades BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — With a rigorous new provincial curriculum from Kinder- garten to Grade 12, school doesn’t just seem harder, it is tougher. Stu- dents are challenged at younger ages than ever before, and often their homework assignments stump their parents. Thousands of local students will soon be feeling the pressure to do well, including those at Waverley Public School in Bowmanville. When first-term intermediate report cards came out last fall, principal Cheryl Brown and other staff noted the grades in general were lower, and decided to try and do something about it. They put together a pro- g ram titled, ‘How to Succeed in School,’ and parents were enlisted as partners to help students do their best. Ms. Brown is the first to admit that many of the ideas aren’t revolu- tionary. But they are applicable to any student, and as general re- minders at the start of the school year, serve as good and timely tips. 11.. BBEE OORRGGAANNIIZZEEDD.. “That really means using an agen- da,” says Ms. Brown. “It’s really im- portant that the student actually uses the agenda; that’s the key.” She says students can record their homework in the agenda, when assignments are due and can write down exactly what is required. A student can also break up larger projects into components and set targets for completing them, rather than trying to do it all in the last few days. Ms. Brown notes that homework is a prime learning tool: completing it will help students do well in school. Parents should periodically check the agenda- if there have been no entries for some time, something’s amiss. 22.. BBEE SSUUCCCCEESSSSFFUULL IINN TTHHEE CCLLAASSSSRROOOOMM.. “That means for them to learn how to adapt to different teachers,” says Ms. Brown. Teachers aren’t all the same. They have different expectations and teaching methods, and a student, and parent, should be aware of them. Being successful also means get- ting to school on time every day. It seems obvious, but if a student doesn’t come to school on time, he or she can miss something impor- tant. “It may even be a time when things are being reviewed, and if you’ve made an error, you won’t know it,” says Ms. Brown. When you have to be away, have a buddy who can pick up the home- work, lend you notes and tell you what you’ve missed. Don’t just show up for school, come well equipped. Teachers often send home a list of supplies they want children to have, such as a cer- tain type of notebook. 33.. TTRREEAATT OOTTHHEERRSS WWIITTHH CCOOUURRTTEESSYY AANNDD RREESSPPEECCTT.. Doing so is related to academics, Ms. Brown points out. The more time spent finding out what the problem is, and solving it, the less time spent learning. 44.. SSTTUUDDYY SSMMAARRTT.. Studying isn’t of much help unless you do it properly. Ms. Brown gave credit to a booklet put out by the El- ementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, for what she calls ‘SQ4R’ which stands for: Survey - Read chapter headings and the like to get the main ideas before diving into the actual material; Question - “Ask yourself questions you want to answer when you study the material;” Read - “When you’re reading, you’re answering questions that you passed in Step B and you’re picking out main points, so you’re reading for a purpose;” Record - “That’s when you write down key ideas in your own words,” says Ms. Brown. The purpose is to consolidate what you’ve learned and make it your own; Recite - “Cover up your notes and use the key words you’ve written down and write the key points you need to know,” says Ms. Brown; Review - Going over steps D and E. “I think the reminder really helps,” she says, adding, “and as students realize how important their success in school is, they be- come more committed.” Waverley parent Shelley Kirby at- tended one of the two sessions held for parents at the school for her daughter, Amanda. She accepts wholeheartedly the notion that it’s important to be involved in your child’s education. “She needed a refresher on home- work, taking notes and studying,” says Ms. Kirby. “It was a very social year for her.” Ms. Kirby says the school success tips can even apply to adults, to help them become more focussed and organized. If students don’t get into good habits early “they’re going to f ind it harder and harder as the years go by,” she says. Beyond the above tips, Ms. Brown says note taking is crucial, adding that starting in Grade 4, “there is an increased need for students to take notes, and they’re new at it.” She recommends that students keep notes organized by dating and ti- tling them. You cannot over-emphasize the importance of reading in a student’s younger years, especially in the pri- mary division. “Reading is the basis of the entire curriculum,” she says, offering these tips on how parents can instil in their kids a love of the written word. 1. Parents should take time each day to talk with their kids, even sing and tell stories. Doing so helps them become comfortable with language. 2. “When reading to or with a child, make it fun, use different voic- es for the characters,” says Ms. Brown. If your son likes a certain book and wants to read it with you a thousand times, indulge him. Books should be a part of a youngster’s day. Start reading with your chil- dren when they are very young and keep it up. “People have really busy lives, and if they don’t understand the impor- tance of books, it’s easy to leave it out,” says Ms. Brown. “You want to make school and reading a priority for them from the early years on;” 3. Set an example. Kids should see their parents reading, and it’s espe- cially important for dads to do so, since boys generally don’t like read- ing as much as girls; 4. Talk about books. Once your child has read a book or passage, ask them about it, what happened and how they feel about it. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 3, 2003 PAGE A3 A/P pickeringtowncentre.com Congratulations!

We are currently prospecting for Carriers in the following areas: *Streets listed not necessarily available debated include education and the future of land in north Pickering. “From my perspective, peo- ple want to see no disruption in the classroom. It’s the first day of school and parents when their children in the classroom, getting the help they need to meet the higher standard,” she notes. Protection of the green- space includes living up to the agreement between the Province, Durham Region and Pickering regarding the future of the agricultural pre- serve. Prior to any development in the Seaton area, environ- mental controls have to be in place, she adds. “The ag preserve is zoned to be protected and Seaton is zoned to meet Pickering’s growth needs,” Ms. Ecker says. Other issues include re- building the Uxbridge hospi- tal along with further expan- sion at the Rouge Valley Ajax site. The emergency depart- ment is currently undergoing an expansion. Ms. Ecker is also dismissive of polls showing the Liberals with a large lead. “We’ve been behind every time we’ve run and every time the voters make a choice, they’ve chosen our plan and our leader,” she says. Green Party candidate Adam Duncan couldn’t be reached for comment, but in a press release issued shortly after he was selected to rep- resent the party, Mr. Duncan stated, “The Green Party of Ontario has run candidates in order to bring up impor- tant topics which politicians would otherwise ignore. We are a party based on the prin- ciple that there should be a choice for citizens concerned about the future.” He added one of the main issues during the election will be the future of the Seaton lands in north Pickering. “This issue could be a real turning point in the history of this riding,” he stated. “Do we really want uncontrolled urban sprawl, increased traf- fic and pollution and the added strain on our infra- structure?” Mr. Edwards also couldn’t be reached for comment. In Ontario, provincial elec- tions are held on a Thursday. Municipal elections are on Mondays and federal ones are on Tuesdays. At one time, many businesses closed Wednesday afternoons, so an election couldn’t be held that day. Given the likelihood many people wouldn’t vote, elec- tions aren’t held on Fridays or on weekends. In the 1999 election, Ms. Ecker won, collecting 28,661 votes, while Liberal candi- date Dave Ryan pulled in 16,881 votes, Jim Wiseman of the NDP had 2,814, Chris Pennington of the Green Party had 703 votes and Bob Riaz of the Natural Law Party had 191 votes. At the time of the election call, the PCs had 56 of the 103 seats, the Liberals 36 and the NDP nine. There was one indepen- dent MPP and one seat was vacant. Candidates all fired up for October election Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge incumbent Tory MPP Janet Ecker, left, will battle challengers Wayne Arthurs (Liber- al), NDP candidate Vern Edwards, right, and Adam Duncan of the Green Party in the Oct. 2 provincial elec- tion which was called Tuesday. ✦ Candidates from page A1 DDUURRHHAAMM — On your mark, get set, go.

Sep 11/03 www.magwyerspub.com Construction in general slowed and the materials needed, asphalt, for example, were in shorter supply recently due to the power outage and because manufacturers heeded the premier’s call to use half as much power the week following the blackout, said Mr. Polonsky. But when he thinks of what could have gone wrong, he said the uni- versity is off to a great start. “Everything that had to be ready for today is ready,” said Mr. Polon- sky, adding the ‘should do’ stuff will be finished in a few weeks and the ‘nice to do stuff’ by mid-November. He dubbed the over 1,000 trades people who have worked around the clock for weeks and months “genuine heroes.” Of course the work at the UOIT and Durham College is not fin- ished, and there’s still a lot of bang- ing going on. Mr. Polonsky says it is a construction site, but he believes the college and university attract “spunky people” who can handle a few thumps on the roof. “We make no bones about the fact that we want people who put out and want to become leaders,” he said. “And you don’t become leaders by taking the low road.” UOIT students begin new journey DDUURRHHAAMM — Here they are, a breakdown of the UOIT’s first class of students according to program.

A good marriage is a nice thing regardless of who wears pants I’'m afraid I really don't un- derstand all the furor over the government's legalizing of marriage for 'some-sex' cou- ples. What, after all, is the big deal? Are these people hurting any- one by only having sex some- times? To listen to some people you'd swear they were an abom- ination in the eyes of God. The same God, mind you, who created them and their 'perver- sion' of only wanting to have sex some of the time. These hateful zealots would have us believe that 'some-sex' marriages can- not last. That the love between 'some-sex' couples is somehow not as real or as pure as the rest of us. And while we're at it, just who are the 'rest' of us anyway? In my humble experience I have seen good and bad mar- riages that had 'lots of sex', 'monthly sex', 'bi-weekly sex' and 'no sex at all.' I don't think any of us frying pans should be calling this particular kettle black. How much sex a couple wants to enjoy is entirely up to them and none of our business thank you very much. I am also hearing a bucketful of angry rhetoric concerning the so-called 'slippery slope' this sanctification of 'some-sex' mar- riages puts society on. Can't the rest of us see, shout the blink- ered mob, that this 'some-sex' thing is just the tip of a very ugly iceberg. Think of the children! Alright, let's think of the chil- dren. As the chances of a 'some- sex' couple producing a child of their own are, naturally, remote, (or at least less than say, a 'tons of sex' couple or certainly less than a 'careless and unprotected sex' couple) they may choose to adopt. How many unloved children (produced by the way, not by 'some-sex' couples, but by all the 'rest' of us) will now find loving homes. Homes where their par- ents, as a result of having only 'some sex,' will have much more time for them! How is this bad for those children? But, you say, is it healthy for children to grow up with 'some- sex' parents? Won't those chil- dren then grow up, too, with a twisted desire for only 'some sex'? This is a specious and completely unfounded argu- ment based more in fear and ig- norance than anything else. The children of 'some-sex' couples are in less 'danger' of be- coming 'some-sex' adults than the children of 'trailer trash' are of becoming snowmobile crash- ing, drooling idiots. It is entirely unfathomable to me why we, as a society, happily endorse the unions of drunks, bigots, wife- beaters and morons, but when it comes to 'some-sex' couples we get bent completely out of shape. Friends, the amount of sex a couple has may or may not have any correlation to how much love is in that marriage. And may I humbly suggest to those who are screaming the loudest over this issue; look to your own homes, your own families, your own relationships and yes, even your own houses of worship and see if your love is as perfect as you claim it is. And in your quietest hour when you come face to face with your own very human stains and iniquities, listen very, very care- fully. That sound you hear is God chuckling. Actor-comedian-writer Neil Crone of Sunderland saves some of his best lines for his columns.

EEddiittoorriiaallss &&OOppiinniioonnss WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ JACQUIE McINNES, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Letters to the Editor Same sex OK with him The Pickering wind turbine doesn’t go round and round TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Since it's inception a couple of years ago the Pickering wind turbine has been inoperative for longer periods then it has been running. Even at the official in- auguration ceremony when the switch was thrown to start it up, nothing happened. Since then it has been plagued by several fail- ures. Gears and oil seals had to be replaced and a new generator had to be installed. Last week the gigantic crane had to be brought in again for repairs. The amount of times this crane has to be brought in makes me won- der if it wouldn't be cheaper and more efficient for OPG to install one of these cranes on site per- manently. Even all these break- downs scarcely account for all the times the turbine sits there, for weeks at a time, blades feath- ered straight back and not turn- ing. As of right now it has been idle for about five to six weeks. Why is it then that the smaller wind turbine in the Canadian National Exhibition grounds in Toronto seems to be running whenever there is wind? Is it the ineptness of the operators or are we paying for the bragging rights to have the largest wind turbine in North America? It would have probably made more sense to have three or four smaller units. I don't know if they are more reliable but at least if one were down for repairs the others would still be produc- ing. It is all very well to look for and rely on more alternative and cleaner sources of energy, espe- cially in the wake of the recent blackout but before we do they have to be more reliable than the wind turbine at Pickering. FF..OO.. WWoollffeell,, PPiicckkeerriinngg Lowering drinking age would be a mistake TToo tthhee EEddiittoorr:: Re: 'Time to bring drinking age to a head,' This Week/Cana- dian Statesman, Aug. 27 Mr. Kelly obviously wrote this article with only a very personal and naive opinion. Suggesting that to lower the drinking age to 18 is in fact tak- ing a step backwards. There is strong empirical re- search that by raising the legal drinking age to 21 as in the Unit- ed States, it would reduce the amount of alcohol related deaths and injuries amongst teenagers. Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death for teenagers between the ages of 15 to 19 and 40 per cent of all teenage deaths are alcohol relat- ed. Students who participate in binge drinking between the ages of 15 to 19 are 14 times more like- ly to drive while impaired. Medical science has proven that the brain does not fully de- velop until the approximate age of 21, and over consumption of alcohol can cause brain damage. Research further indicates that the earlier a teenager par- ticipates in a binge drinking episode practice, the more likely they are to develop an alcohol problem in later years. MADD Canada is in fact in favour and strongly encourages our government to implement a stronger Graduate Licensing Program, and to adopt a zero blood alcohol content to age 21. This would separate the onset of driving and the onset of the legal age drinking, which has been shown in other countries to save lives and injuries. To indicate that because we are entering a double-cohort post secondary year that the legal drinking age should be re- duced because it has put pubs and bars in a quandary shows that not only is the writer ill-in- formed but that he has no re- gard to the issues of impaired driving and saving the lives of our most valued asset of today, our children.

Class of S.S. #1 The Union School Section (S.S.) #1 (Almonds) was located at the northwest corner of Highway 2 and Lakeridge Road. The term “Union School” refers to the fact that it was attended by pupils from both Pickering and Whitby townships. “Almonds” referred to the small settlement in the area surrounding this intersection, established by James Almond. The school was built about 1881, but was destroyed by fire in 1917. Rebuilt, it continued in use until 1967. The building was torn down in 1974.

With Premier Ernie Eves's decision Tuesday to go to the polls Thursday, Oct. 2, the real power in this province will devolve to those who really should hold it - you, the voter. It's up to you to make the candidates in 103 ridings across this great province prove they belong at Queen's Park. Hundreds of MPP-wannabes will be pushing hard for your vote, working overtime to convince you they have all the answers. What can you do? You can phone, e-mail, and show up at all-candidates meetings determined to get your questions answered. Demand that candidates listen to what you have to say. Often politicians are great at spewing forth everything they will do, how the party in power either did great things or did nothing useful at all, how if you only elect them all will be well under the sun. Few are talented at hearing your concerns. Make them listen to what you have to say. Upset about the school system? Make each candidate provide you with a specific, realistic plan for change. Angry about health-care services? Insist candidates explain how they and their party will facilitate improvements. Frustrated with the tax system? Demand detailed answers as to how the Tory, Liberal or NDP candidate will make it bet- ter. If you're really industrious, take a look back at plat- forms the three major parties put together for the 1999 election. Did the Tories follow the platform they promised to implement? Were the promises made by the opposition parties realistic or sensible given what has happened over the past four years? How does what was pledged in 1999 compare or contrast with the 2003 plat- forms? Why? It takes work to make a democracy function. It's not simply a matter of showing up at the polls on election day, though fewer and fewer (just under 60 per cent in the 1999 election) have bothered to do that. What's need- ed is a serious look at the issues involved and the promises made by the parties running as to how they will solve them. In provincial elections, there are usually only a handful of issues on the table. Education, health care, taxes, energy, the environment, and Ontario's place in Canada tend to be the main concerns campaign after campaign. Who should win? Largely, it comes down to several points: Who do you think is the best leader? Who do you think has the best team (cabinet possibilities)? Which party do you believe will be able to deliver on their promises? Which of the parties do you think will follow through on the issues most important to you? It all requires a lot of time and effort, which is asking a lot, but then living in a democracy requires effort. It only happens every four years or so. Put in the effort needed so the candidates who want your support earn it. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 3, 2003 PAGE A7 P Free Teen Programs, Youth Council and Events Ages 13 to 19 Call Now 905.420.6588 Wood Carving Drop-In Wednesdays 1-4 pm @ Eastshore CC Call for Info 905.839.4924 Pickering Recreation Complex 1867 Valley Farm Road, just east of Pickering Town Centre 905.683.6582 cityofpickering.com The Pickering Recreation Complex is celebrating 20 Years as your Community’s fitness Leader.

PICKERING GROWTH MANAGEMENT STUDY Phase 2 Continues with Presentation of the Preferred Option for Future Growth Upcoming Open House A ‘preferred’ option for future growth in the City of Pickering has been prepared.

Thank you to all those who took the time to attend the public open house, review the material and provide comments.

The preferred option is being presented for comment at an upcoming Open House on September 9th at the Pickering City Hall Lobby, between 5 pm and 9 pm. The preferred option will form the starting point for a more detailed land use plan for urban and rural areas. More information will follow on that process.

Save An Extra 30%Off Our Already Low Prices on Save An Extra 20%Off Our Already Low Prices on New D-Pass designed for safety and the environment BByy JJeerreemmyy LLee PPaaggee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Get out of your cars. For safety, economy, and the environment. That’s the message from the Region of Durham fol- lowing the commencement of its new public transit pro- gram, the D-Pass. It allows transit users to go anywhere within Durham, using one pass for GO Transit or any other local transit service. “This program is a big, big gamble... A leap of faith,” says Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle, chairman of the Regional Transit Task Force (RTTF). “But it moves us miles down the road.” He says Durham’s success during its current popula- tion boom - economically and environmentally - de- pends upon the use of pub- lic transit. The roads are jammed al- ready, he explains, noting gas prices and car insurance are taking a toll on the wal- lets of residents. “It’s time for people to take a look,” he says. “I think this program is very timely.” New infrastructure such as the extension of Hwy. 407 through Durham is going to take years to finish, he pre- dicts, while a provincial promise to widen Hwy. 401 in the region has yet to come true. with an estimated $600 million worth of building permits to be issued in the region this year alone, he says getting people out of their cars is essential. “We’re all holding our breath and waiting to see,” says Mayor Brunelle about whether or not the new pro- gram will be a success. And holding one’s breath takes on a new meaning due to the high level of smog in the region, with several smog advisories issued for southern Ontario, including Durham Region, this sum- mer. A study in British Colum- bia by the Victoria Trans- port Policy Institute states “A full transit vehicle con- sumes less than 10 per cent of the energy per passenger- mile as automobile travel.” Environmentalist groups champion the idea of public transit, or any strategy im- plemented to reduce energy consumption. “Conservation is the way to go... It’s not sexy conserv- ing energy, but it works,” says Shawn-Patrick Stensi, director of atmosphere and energy services at the Sierra Club of Canada, an environ- mentalist group. Durham Chairman Roger Anderson says the initiative is a “huge step forward” for Durham. “If you can put one bus on the road instead of 30 cars, it’s win-win for everyone... It benefits everybody.” He says the program will be watched closely. “If it isn’t working, the odds of it existing for a long time is remote,” adds Mr. Anderson, but he expects people will realize the bene- fits of the service. “It makes the region more accessible,” he says. The D-Pass costs $25 on top of the regular monthly GO Transit pass and is available to everyone at GO ticket agencies in Durham Region. Durham Region takes a leap of faith No agreement yet for part-time teachers BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM —Durham’s public school board will start this school year as the last one ended: pink-list- ed by its elementary teachers. While the board reached contract agreements with its regular elemen- tary and secondary teachers last spring, it still has not come to terms with their occasional counterparts. No talks were held over the summer and none are planned. The Durham occasional unit of the Elementary Teachers’ Federa- tion of Ontario last spring pink-list- ed the board, advising teachers under threat of penalty not to apply for any elementary teaching jobs here, including full-time positions. The unit represents over 600 teach- ers. Sally McIlveen, the board’s em- ployee services superintendent, says the advisory has not had an ad- verse effect on the board’s hiring for the new school year. “We’re just continuing with busi- ness as usual and hiring and I don’t want to get involved in this pink- listing issue,” she said. “I find it unique, maybe, that usu- ally a pink-listing is imposed when there’s a strike action in place,” she added. Ingrid Thompson, the ETFO Durham occasional president, says no strike action is planned. In the spring she complained that the board was ignoring the pink listing. “Of the 14 or 15 boards that were pink-listed by ETFO this year, the Durham District School Board is the only board in the province of Ontario that continued to post jobs,” Ms. Thompson said. She says the board is showing a lack of respect to the local by not treating and valuing the teachers as other boards do their occasional ed- ucators. What’s at issue between the parties is money. Ms. McIlveen says the board has offered the supply teachers a raise that’s in line with what regular elementary teachers received in the spring, when they settled with an 8.05 per cent hike. Considering that the occasional deal would cover a year-and-a-half, she said that represents a substan- tial increase. “We really feel we’ve gone about as far as we can go,” she said. Ms. Thompson argues that if teachers accepted that offer, it would still leave them amongst the lowest paid supply teachers in the province. The board when negotiat- ing with employee groups in the last school year said it wanted its em- ployees to be paid at the GTA aver- age, and occasional teachers want that as well, said Ms. Thompson. The vast majority of Durham unit members are qualified and certified teachers, earning $152.69 per day, says Ms. Thompson, noting the GTA average is about $180 per day. She says the local for a number of years has been asking the board to pay occasional teachers a percent- age of the regular teachers’ grid rate, but “the board won’t address that.” The difference between what the local wants and the board is of- fering is roughly $400,000 per year, “a drop in the bucket,” says Ms. Thompson. There are some boards, such as the Toronto board, that do pay a lot higher than Durham, but there are other boards that don’t pay as much, says Ms. McIlveen. “They are free to teach at these other boards and still teach with us,” she says. She feels the general public does- n’t give supply teachers their due, stressing that occasional teachers, like their regular counterparts, are qualified and certified. Ms. Thomp- son noted that two-thirds of local supply teachers are either retirees from the profession with many years of experience, or career supply teachers who have also taught for the board for a number of years. Both sides say they are waiting for a call from the other to resume talks. As for the secondary occa- sional teachers, Ms. McIlveen says she “is expecting that they will ap- proach us to meet again in the near future.” The board has also offered those teachers a raise in line with what regular high school educators received in the spring, an 8.05 per cent increase.

Some in this community have even experienced the hardships that accompany these events. While serving the Lord and the people in the Durham Region for 23 years, I have had many experiences of “weeping with those that weep.” We may ask ourselves, “Why so much suffering? Why did it start?” The answer is found in the Bible. The root cause is sin. When the first man and woman rebelled against God’s Word, the effects of sin became apparent. Down through the ages, every human being and every earthly society has felt those effects. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying that everyone who has a tragedy come into their life is being judged because of grievous sin. But I am saying the effects of sin are being felt and they will only intensify! 2 Timothy 3:13 says, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” The secular humanists’ idea that mankind is evolving into a better state of perfection and goodness is not founded in reality or the Scripture. The socialists would have us believe that man is depraved simply because he is deprived. It is proposed that if we could enhance their environment and give them better opportunities, they would in turn be better people. The Bible also contradicts this perspective and so does the current stage of world events! The heart of man is the issue. Sin is the issue. Without Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of sin that He gives, we have no answers. We have no hope for tomorrow. But with Christ, we have peace in our hearts and in our homes, even in the midst of tragedy and trials. I encourage you to go right to the source, to deal with the truth of Scripture, and to dig up the root problem. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” The answer is Jesus Christ! Not church. Not religion. Not psychology. The answer is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” This gives solutions to our problems, answers for our questions and hope for tomorrow. The ‘Real’ Reality Show (Religion vs. Relationship) I often wonder what people are thinking when I tell them that I regularly attend church. Do they conjure up childhood memories of riding a bus to attend Sunday school? Do they feel slightly guilty or uncomfortable? Do they think they need to be on their best behaviour around me? Do they immediately conclude that I’m religious? Or do they simply think ‘boring’? I want to emphatically declare that it’s not about any of these things and especially not about being religious. It’s been my experience that folks have the wrong idea when you mention church. Certainly you can attend church and practice religion but what real Christianity is all about is relationship. Over the number of years since I made the choice to have a relationship with God I have been launched on the most exciting and satisfying adventure that anyone could ever imagine. It’s such a trip to know that the God of the universe is interested in me, and further, He has made me unique with a plan and purpose that only I can fulfill. That’s why it’s such an adventure as I learn how to communicate or relate to this amazing Creator and He in turn guides me through life’s victories and disappointments. I think of the many Bible characters as I’ve studied them to find out how this God of ours operates. I’ve marvelled at the stories of old as the ‘called’ ones left all to follow a God they couldn’t see but had the faith to obey and found themselves on an incredible journey. I find it so refreshing that Jesus didn’t spend the majority of his time in the synagogue with the religious men of His day but was out in the highways and byways spending time with ordinary people. Church is simply a gathering of the ‘family’ to share their adventures of the week and hear an encouraging word from God to sustain and refresh for the journey ahead. Life is temporal on this earth even though we try to elude that fact. I for one want to make the most of this life and know that I have done all I can to fulfill the reason for my existence. Take up the challenge to become all that you were meant to be and know that only God holds the key. As the age-old verse declares, “He stands at the door and knocks” waiting to be invited in because He loves us unconditionally and desires for you to participate in His adventure. Hang on to His hand because the ride is amazing and you’ll marvel at His love and power.

Pecman, a 14-year-old Oshawa resident, went where very few have gone before by draining a hole-in- one on a par-4 hole last Wednesday. His three-wood shot found the cup on 'Ruby', the 280-yard No. 6 hole on Deer Creek's north course. Whether it's his youth or the fact he didn't see the ball roll in, Pecman seemed less than overwhelmed when queried about the shot. While admitting he was "shocked" when buddy Evan Bassett told him where the ball ended up, Pecman recalls no other emotions. "It was a dog leg left, so I decided to go for the green," he describes, adding he thought the shot was too long. "I went over to look for my ball in the woods when my friend said it was in the hole." Although he couldn't put his feel- ings into words, he obviously felt some effects. "My next couple of shots were pretty bad, but I didn't care," said Pecman, who ended up carding a 34 over nine holes that day. He was also golfing with Spencer Cain. A Grade 10 student at McLaugh- lin Collegiate, Pecman hopes to earn a golf scholarship in the United States after he graduates and ulti- mately pursue a professional career. He has been golfing for just three years, but thanks to some 115 rounds this year alone, normally shoots somewhere between the mid- 70s and mid-80s. He is a member at Deer Creek and coached by former LPGA player Karin Mundinger at Wooden Sticks in Uxbridge. BByy BBrriiaann LLeeggrreeee Sports Editor DDUURRHHAAMM —— This has been a trying summer for four members of a Whitby family. Literally. Grace Glennie-Iannuzziello, 5, Andrew Smith, 7, Mar- cus Glennie-Iannuzziello, 8, and Andrew Smith, who turns 11 on Sept. 9, have spent their school holidays com- peting in several Kids of Steel triathlon events around Ontario. The idea to get the kids involved in the races, which combine swimming, cycling and running, came from par- ents Maria Iannuzziello and Michael Smith. "We heard about it and thought it would be neat for them all to do," says Iannuzziello, who is an 18-year veter- an of Durham Regional Police. "It's just a really good family thing to do together. It's good for their self-esteem. You don't want to just look at life, you want to be out there." Besides, says Iannuzziello, the disciplines in a triathlon should appeal to youngsters. "Every kid should be able to cycle and run, that's the fundamental basis of childhood," she says. The kids com- pete at different distances depending on age and so far this year have taken part in events in Uxbridge, Caledon and Lindsay. Grace took part in her first triathlon using water wings in the pool and training wheels on her bike, but has since ditched the extra wheels. "She finished it," says Iannuzziello proudly, noting the youngster covered 25 metres in the pool, a one-kilometre bike ride followed by a half-kilometre run. "Everyone's very positive, people are encouraging peo- ple they don't even know," she says. While the family members don't follow a strict training regimen, they will go for bike rides together and occa- sionally mom or dad will stop the car a couple of blocks from home and get the kids to jog the rest of the way. "It's good," says Marcus, a Grade 3 student at Glen Dhu Public School. "I think I like the cycling best, it's a little more fun than swimming and running." The children have been competing in triathlons for two years and Andrew is enjoying a strong season. Entering the final race Sept. 7 in Wasaga Beach, An- drew is tied for first in the overall points standings in his age group. Unlike the children, neither Iannuzziello nor Smith has competed in a triathlon. But that could change. "They have those try-a-tri (try a triathlon) at these events and it's something I'm interested in," says Ian- nuzziello, adding she and Smith have entered half- marathons in the past. Under-eight soccer players are two-time winners AAJJAAXX —— The Ajax Strikers girls' under-eight soccer team definitely got its kicks playing in Unionville tournaments. For the second time this season, the squad captured a tournament in that town. Recently, the Ajax girls played at the Unionville Select Soccer Tour- nament and returned with the title. Playing well as a team throughout, the Ajax Strikers ar- rived in the final and promptly dis- patched Uxbridge 7-0 to earn the title. Earlier this season, the Ajax Strikers entered the Unionville Milliken Challenge Cup and played their way to a 4-0-1 record, defeat- ing the Ajax Flames in the final. The team received a strong per- formance from goalkeeper Darrian Capizzo throughout the weekend, allowing only two goals in the en- tire tournament. The team featured a balanced at- tack in the tourney, mixing in de- termined offensive play with flaw- less defensive work. The team dedicated the tourna- ment victory to friend and team- mate Nicole Sale. Team members are Lauren Dug- gan, Margaret Mary Campigotto, Mackenzie Lanford, Kiana Chiu, Madeline Iozzi, Natalie Fava, Car- lie Steward, Tori Longbottom, Sarah Liderri, Lauren Henderson, Bethany Coke, Sabrina Yusuf and Darrian Capizzo. The coaches are Chris Duggan and Marcel Longbottomn. The manager is Tracey Liderri. Fastball champs capture division PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----The Pickering Heat midget boys' fastball team captured the Oshawa & District Brady Divi- sion Championship after downing the Oshawa BB 1 team in the final last weekend. The Pickering Heat scored a close 4-3 victory over the Oshawa squad to claim the league title. With the game tied 3-3 in the top of the sixth inning, Pickering's Jeff Magee sin- gled home Billy Keith with the win- ning run. The Heat held Oshawa off the scoresheet in the bottom of the final inning, although just barely. With an Oshawa runner heading for home plate with the tying run, Pickering first baseman Anthony Paradiso fired a strike to the plate where catcher Billy Keith initially tagged the runner, but the runner wasn't initially called out by the umpire. Realizing the runner failed to touch home plate, Keith touched it to record the final out of the game. Ambrose Luciano and Conor Mc- Ternan crossed the plate on a triple by Andrew Scott to give Pickering an early 2-0 lead. Oshawa, however, countered in the second inning with three runs. The Heat tied the game in the third inning with Kenny Cooke crossing the plate on a double by Justin Over, Following the presenta- tion of the championship trophy, Cooke was awarded the most valu- able pitcher award for his 2.76 era. In their first game, the Heat bombed Cobourg 14-2, in a contest called using the five-inning mercy rule. The Heat scored six first-in- ning runs with Paradiso and Cooke hitting home runs. Also crossing the plate were Luciano, McTernan, Keith, and Over. McTernan crossed the plate again in the second inning; Over and Magee added more runs in the third inning. The Heat ended the contest in the fourth inning, with Paradiso, Jason Carey, Keith, Cooke, and Over crossing the plate. Cooke earned the win on the mound. The Pickering midgets then faced a tough Oshawa BB 2 team, winning by a narrow 4-3 count. Oshawa started the scoring in the first in- ning with two runs. Paradiso crossed the plate in the second in- ning to cut the deficit by half. In the fourth inning, Luciano cashed in Carey, Keith and Over with a deep hit to left field to give the Heat a 4-2 lead. Oshawa countered with one run, but the Heat held tight to their one-run lead, thanks to the solid work of pitcher Andrew Scott and catcher Keith. Norm MacLeod and Doug Scott coach the team. The manager is Liz Keith. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 3, 2003 PAGE B1 A/P DURHAM WEST GIRLS HOCKEY ASSOCIATION providing girls hockey in Ajax & Pickering since 1993 or download your registration form from www.dwgha.com ATTENTION ALL PEEWEE GIRLS (born ‘91 & ‘92) The first tryout for the PeeWee Select/Tier 4 team will take place Saturday, September 13th Art Thompson Arena - 7:30 am - 9:00 am For more information contact Chuck East @ picuphocky@aol.com For more information call the DWGHA hotline @ (905) 686-2400 OPEN HOUSE LEAGUE REGISTRATION Sat.

It's a golf lover's dream. Now imagine having to turn down most of them. It's a golf lover's nightmare. But that's the position Lance Brown finds himself in this summer - and most summers for that matter. Brown, one of Uxbridge's most recognizable residents because of his work as the popular sports an- chor at CFTO-TV, gets inundated with requests to play and/or serve as master of ceremonies, in dozens of tourneys each year. "I have a difficult time saying 'no'," says Brown, who spent a recent day at Mill Run Golf Course during a charity event on behalf of Grand- view Children's Centre, which offers a variety of programs and activities for kids in Durham with special needs. Despite his busy schedule, Brown has been a fixture at the Grandview tourney, which has run seven years, raising in excess of $220,000. "This is one of my favourites," says Brown, who has children aged four, six and eight at home. "I love kids and I would do anything for a chil- dren's charity." Noting that all charities are worthwhile, Brown says "there seems to be more urgency for chil- dren than for adults." Brown, who has lived in Uxbridge for 11 years, also plays in events such as the Vaughan Mayor's tour- ney, the Aurora Mayor's tourney and the Ontario Harness Horsemen's Association event. He also heads up his own event, which was held in June and raised money for the Community Safety Village of York Region. Brown credits CFTO-TV with being "exceptionally good with its on-air people, allowing us to do this kind of thing," noting other golf en- thusiasts at the station, such as Ken Shaw and Dave Devall, also spend many days on the course for com- munity-minded events. Through seven years at the Grandview tourney, Brown's wit and easy-going approach has been a hit with the golfers. But while he enjoys being able to emcee an event so close to home, he says he always has to be cognizant of how he manages his time. "I have to be careful not to take time away from my own kids," he says. A golfer’s dream Celebrity sportscaster and Durham resi- dent Lance Brown is a perennial favourite at celebrity golf tournaments. ‘Gotta Golf’ tourney, Sept. 14 PICKERING SOCCER CLUB UNDER-10 RESULTS Local filmmaker recognized for flight documentary BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——Two years of flying with Father Goose has landed a local independent filmmaker an award at the Japan Wildlife Festival. Peter Shatalow's 'Flight of the Whooping Crane', a documentary broadcast on CBC's 'The Nature of Things' was given the Man's Encour- agement of Wildlife award at the sixth annual festival held Aug. 21 to 24 in Toyama, Japan. "This was nice," said the Green- wood resident with a laugh. "Some- times at the end of a film, you've been looking at it for so long, you're just thankful it's finished." In 'Flight of the Whopping Crane', Shatalow follows well-known aviator Bill Lishman and partner Joe Duff as they lead a flock of whooping cranes on an ultra-light-led migra- tion from Wisconsin to Florida in an effort to save the endangered species. The film explores the whopping crane's fragile history and docu- ments the cross-country journey, in the wake of 9/11, to establish a sec- ond flock of wild migrating whop- ping cranes. Shatalow, who has made two fea- ture films and several documen- taries, met Lishman several years ago when he filmed a 'Life and Times' special on the Scugog resi- dent for the CBC. The naturalist contacted him in 1999, and talked him into chronicling the whopping crane migration on film. Shatalow followed Lishman and Duff on their experiment in first fly- ing sandhill cranes to a migratory spot in Texas. He showed a "rough cut" of the footage for the CBC and the broadcaster decided it would get involved for the whopping crane mi- gration in 2001. "For me, it was more about Bill and Joe," explained Shatalow. "Those guys have been dedicating themselves so long to it. And to think for Lishman, it all started from flying sculptures and evolved into saving an endangered species." While Shatalow filmed most of the sandhill flights himself from the sky, the 48-day whopping crane migra- tion was captured by the pilots themselves with either hand-held cameras or small lipstick-like tube cameras mounted on their wing. The filmmaker had exclusive ac- cess to the birds as long as he was costumed. Anyone having contact with the whopping cranes had to be costumed to help keep the birds as wild as possible and unaccustomed to human contact. "I would wear a costume or stand behind a hunting blind," he said. "Or I would keep the camera in a bag." Filming wrapped up with the end of the project in December 2002, and the documentary aired October 2002 with 400,000 viewers taking in its first broadcast. This August, it was one of 32 final- ists of more than 400 entries re- ceived at the Japan Wildlife Festival. Being there to see the film dubbed in Japanese, and to answer questions afterwards for the audience was an awesome experience, said Shatalow. "It was a very interesting trip. The cultural differences are so remark- able," he said. "It's such an orderly society compared to the chaos we have here in North America." Shatalow, who studied communi- cations and film at Seneca College and Ryerson University, worked in the CBC's formatting department before turning to freelancing. He directed two feature films, 'Blue City Slammers' starring Gary Farmer in the late 80s, and 'River Road' starring Graham Greene in the early 90s, and several documen- taries, including 'Heart of Gold', a history of Canadian rock music. For the last two years he's been chronicling the lives of street buskers for another project. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 3, 2003 PAGE B3 A/P IT’S TIME TO STOP JANET ECKER FROM COMPROMISING OUR COMMUNITY!

But Edwin from the band Edwin and the Pres- sure is an exception. Recently, Edwin admitted he likes "anything that has to do with rac- ing," especially if he gets to race it and jokingly added that when he makes his millions he will own his own race track. The musician was on hand at Mosport to officially start the race and ride in the pace car. Edwin joked he likes [car] racing because "golf and baseball only re- quire one ball. I love racing," said Edwin. "We race everything," he said in reference to his buddies. "We love rally car driving, we race go-karts, remote-control cars, we race real cars. I like motor sports."

"We have completed eight songs with five to go," said Edwin. "We are getting better all the time."

'Thunder mugs', 'honey buckets' or 'chamber pots' were a standard in homes of the 1800s and many cottages of the 1900s. Over the years, the Pickering Museum Village has acquired about 30 washstand and pitcher sets, basins and chamber pots, but little is known about the pat- terns that adorn them. "There are no books but perhaps there's a collector out there who is really into the pottery and goes to all the show, who might know more about them," said education and collections officer Dave Marlowe. The items will be on display until mid October at the Pickering Civic Complex, One the Esplanade. Visitors are invited to share any information they have about the pottery. Only the pattern on the water pitcher has so far been identified as 'Carnation'. "Most of them have patterns. Very few are plain bowls or pots," said Mr. Mar- lowe. "Some are transfer print glaze, in which the glaze is printed on paper and transferred onto the pottery. It's easy to identify because you see the seam marks." Calling it the "early ensuite", Mr. Mar- lowe said the pottery was usually sold as a three-piece set pre-indoor plumbing. "They came in handy at night, or when you were sick or if there was a really cold blizzard outside," he added. Widely used during the hey-day of the outhouse, their use varied after the intro- duction of indoor plumbing. Much de- pended on where you lived and if you had a well hooked up to an electric pump, said Mr. Marlowe. In more rural parts of Ontario, some homes didn't have indoor plumbing until the 1950s or 1960s, he said. The Pickering Civic Complex is open to the public Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, contact the museum at 905-683-8401.

This English Ironstone by W&E Corn Burslem dates to the mid-1800s. Port Perry author in Pickering on Tuesday, Oct. 14 DURHAM —— Durham historian and author Paul Arculus has turned to murder in his latest book. 'Mayhem to Murder' traces the ac- tivities of the Markham Gang, which operated in southern Ontario in the 1840s. "A few years ago, while searching through the Toronto newspapers of the 1840s, I came across accounts of a group that became known as the Markham Gang," said Arculus, of Port Perry. "Their exploits dominat- ed the April to July 1846 pages of the British Colonist, a prominent Toronto newspaper." They were given the name 'Markham Gang' because the final roundup of several gang members took place in Markham and some of the gang members originated from that community, Arculus said. How- ever, many members came from the nearby townships of Pickering, Reach, Uxbridge and Whitby. Three members were the sons of Reuben Crandell, the first white set- tler in Scugog Township, who was himself wanted for murder in 1855, he said. His sons all served time in Kingston prison for crimes they committed with the gang. The group of thugs include other familiar pio- neer family names from the region, such as Badgerow, Buck, Case, Gra- ham and Stoutenburg. Their activi- ties, including petty theft, burglary, horse stealing, attempted murder and murder, spread into New York and Michigan. Many were successful merchants and businessmen or the sons and daughters of respectable families, related Arculus. The trials of members revealed this was not an ordinary gang of hoodlums, but was highly organized with secrecy and loyalty oaths and a distribution system for selling the stolen goods, he said. The gang was also accused of bribery of police and court officials. But the gang quickly disappeared from public view. One member was hanged and four others were impris- oned and released in 1853, the au- thor said. Records of the trials and certain prison records have van- ished. Arculus, a retired high school his- tory teacher, spent 10 years re- searching and writing about the gang and has given talks to histori- cal societies throughout the area. His other books are 'The Merchants of Old Port Perry,' and 'Steamboats of Scugog,' while he co-authored 'Historic Homes and Estates of Scu- gog.' 'Mayhem to Murder' goes on sale Oct. 1 for $21.95. The author gives a talk on the Markham Gang to the Pickering Township Historical Soci- ety Tuesday, Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the East Shore Community Centre, 910 Liverpool Rd., Pickering.
