The jury at his attempted mur- der trial was told earlier the 23- year-old confessed to an under- cover police officer shortly after his arrest in April 2001. On Wednesday, court heard Mr. Maragh also boasted about shooting Teran Richards to fel- low inmates at Whitby Jail. “He said he shot him in the back. He was bragging. I thought he was a punk. Anybody that goes around and shoots people in a gymnasium is a punk,” said former cellmate Bryan Johnston, testifying as a defence witness. The ex-bouncer, who told court he is 6-foot-8 and weighs 500 pounds, was called by de- fence counsel David Bayliss, who is contending his client falsely confessed to impress fellow pris- oners and gain respect in jail.

OR Do Not Pay For One Full Year NO INTEREST NO PAYMENTS * Arthurs takes heat for not taking mayoral leave BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — The city’s may- oral race has been thrown for a big loop by the timing of the Oct. 2 provincial election. With Mayor Wayne Arthurs wearing both Liberal red this fall and intending to run for mayor should his provincial bid fail, it seems uncertain just who will want to step up to challenge the 15-year in- cumbent for his mayoral chains. So far, only former regional councillor Doug Dickerson has declared his intent to run against Mayor Arthurs, who along with seeking re-election is also challenging Minister of Finance Janet Ecker for the Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge seat. Waiting for the Province to call an election has been “frustrating” for members of council trying to decide if they should throw their hat into the ring with Mayor Arthurs, said Ward 2 Region- al Councillor Mark Holland. Now, with a provincial elec- tion set after the Sept. 26 nomination deadline for mu- nicipal candidates, the likeli- hood of any councillors com- ing forward is slim, he said. “Were it that Wayne had won the provincial seat I was considering running for mayor,” Coun. Holland said. “But now I would have to risk my regional seat. My career in municipal pol- itics could come to an end Nov. 10 and I’d have to be fine with that. In truth, there’s a lot more out there I want to do.” Coun. Holland said he would only revisit the “tough decision” if, by the end of September, it became clear Mayor Arthurs would have to vacate the post for the Liber- al seat. As for Mr. Dickerson, Coun. Holland said, “This is his dream scenario”. With little hope of a challenge from any- one currently on council, Mayor Arthurs could con- ceivably win the provincial seat, and then have to drop out of the running for mayor. Should Mr. Dickerson be the only other candidate, the former regional councillor wouldn’t be acclaimed. A by-election would have to be called. Should there be more than one candidate left, the race for mayor would sim- ply continue but once the Sept. 26 deadline is passed, potential candidates like Coun. Holland would not have the opportunity to join in. A by-election would be “lu- dicrous” and “insanity” for the City, said Mr. Dickerson. He estimates it would cost the same as a full-scale gen- eral election because polls would have to be placed city- wide for the post. The 2000 general election cost Pickering $350,000, he said. “I think Wayne Arthurs should do the right thing for Pickering and resign,” he added. Mayor Arthurs said the Oct. 2 provincial election is Premier Ernie Eves’ poor tim- ing, not his. “Certainly it would have been better if it were held at an earlier date,” he acknowl- edged. “But there is still ample time for anyone inter- ested in pursuing municipal campaigns (to declare).” Unlike fellow Liberal candi- date Dennis Fox, who dropped out of his bid for re- election to Whitby council with Tuesday’s provincial election call and has taken a leave of absence from his mu- nicipal post, Mayor Arthurs said he plans to continue on, business as usual. “My schedule at the city normally extends beyond six or seven days a week. It’s cer- tainly not an 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. job,” he said. “But I plan to continue to do my business at the City, being at the office, going to committee and coun- cil meetings at night and out in the community on the weekends. Mayor Arthurs, who was acclaimed by the Ajax-Pick- ering-Uxbridge Liberal Rid- ing Association March 27, said he’s been knocking on doors since April. He plans to focus on the provincial seat now exclusive- ly until Oct. 2. “My municipal campaign will begin Oct. 3,” he said. Asked if his provincial can- didacy could negatively affect his chances for re-election, Mayor Arthurs said he con- sidered the possibility seri- ously before deciding to don two different campaign hats. “When I’ve been out knock- ing on doors, people have been very encouraging both in my capacity as mayor and I’ve had a lot of positive en- couragement to move for- ward as a Liberal candidate,” he added.

The preferred option will form the starting point for a more detailed land use plan for urban and rural areas, said Pick- ering project manager Catherine Rose. “It’s a preferred option but not necessarily one of the five options presented at the open house in the spring,” she pointed out. “But it will be based on feedback from the open house and from the phase two booklet completed by local residents and agen- cies.” Her team hopes to make the option available on the City’s Web site (www.cityofpickering.com ) once it is complete. “Even if it’s only the day before the open house, we’ll try and get it on the Web site,” Ms. Rose said. “We know our timing is going to be quite tight with a number of people on summer holidays right now.” Pickering’s growth man- agement study area boundaries include Hwy. 7 to the north, Sideline 16 and the Pickering-Ajax boundary to the east, the former Canadian Pacific Belleville rail line to the south and the Pickering- To r onto boundary to the west. The Dillon Consulting Team started looking at environmental con- straints in phase one of the study to come up with five options for future de- velopment in Pickering. The first option desig- nated the entire Duffin- Rouge Agricultural Pre- serve as countryside, with development intensified in Seaton and along the Whitevale corridor to meet population targets. The other four scenar- Court hears accused ‘was bragging’ Richards with a 357-calibre hand- gun April 3, 2001 during a pickup basketball game in the gymnasium at Pine Ridge Secondary School. Mr. Richards, a 22-year-old for- mer Ajax man, was in a heated dis- pute with opposing player Tyshan Riley when a spectator pulled out a gun and opened fire, shooting him three times in the back and once in the arm. Mr. Maragh, who was arrested fol- lowing a police car chase and crash, has pleaded not guilty to a slew of charges including attempted mur- der. The convicted crack dealer, who admitted carrying a gun as protec- tion from rival traffickers, denied being the gunman during his own earlier testimony and insisted he took credit for the school shooting to gain respect in jail. During his first night in the cell with Mr. Johnston, the defendant spoke freely about the shooting, court heard. “He said somebody was pushing his friend around and he went to his car, got a gun and came back and shot him; some guy Terry,” said Mr. Johnston, 34, no longer in jail. Mr. Maragh bragged on several other occasions, including to other inmates, he said. In response to a question by Mr. Bayliss, Mr. John- ston said prisoners facing serious charges are “treated with more re- spect from other inmates.” He personally viewed inmates like Mr. Maragh with disgust, however. “They deserved to get smashed. My opinion applies to anybody that goes around and shoots people... I’m from the old school,” Mr. John- ston said. Mr. Johnston, who was in jail for assaulting his ex-wife, has a crimi- nal record dating back to 1988 and includes convictions for aggravated assault, property offences, robbery, obstruct police and domestic as- sault, court heard. Mr. Maragh, known by the street name ‘Indian,’ was captured along with Mr. Riley in north Pickering, while a third occupant of the car got away, court has heard. After reading in the newspaper about the third suspect - who the defence suggests was the real gunman - Mr. Johnston said he asked Mr. Maragh about the unknown person. “He was evasive,” he said of the accused. Testimony in the trial concluded yesterday and closing arguments are scheduled to begin Tuesday. ✦ Court from page 1 ios, which meet population targets, include developing the preserve in entirety or at least in part. At the Sept. 9 open house, the public will have another chance to comment on the preferred option before consultants “tweak it” in preparation for a detailed land use workshop later in the month, said Ms. Rose. Spots are still available for mem- bers of the public wishing to take part in the workshop, she said. For more information about the open house or workshop, contact Ms. Rose at 905-420-4660, ext. 2038.

What makes it even worse is that this ear-popping sound lingers on for minutes on end. Surely, in this day and age of highly sophisticated technology there must be some way to silence such annoy- ance or at least minimize its effect. Being surrounded by all kinds of ener- vating noises one doesn't need the howling whine of a street sweeper ma- chine on top of it. After all, we're trying to eliminate environmental stress, not add to it. On to a beef of a different kind: the pilfering of hydro power by lawless characters trying to get rich in a hurry. Aren't there any reliable safeguards around to thwart this kind of despica- ble behaviour once and for all? Admittedly, there may be occasions where some of these thieving 'entre- preneurs' are getting careless enough to allow law enforcement officers to put an end to their criminal intent yet the majority of them seem to get away with murder. Merrily they carry on growing their marihuana crop, scoffing at law and order. I think it's about time we stop look- ing the other way since indifference to this kind of brazen defiance in the end will hurt us all.

W e need more movie stars to run for government positions in Ontario. If California can do it, we can too. Besides, much of the filming for Hollywood is done in the GTA anyway. So maybe some old- school Canadian celebs could start things off by running for provincial and municipal posts. Sure, matching the popularity of Arnold might be tough. But I am confident we, the Canadian peo- ple, can pull it off. The natural choice for Premier of Ontario would be Alex Trebek. He's knowledgeable; knows how to deal with questions; already sells out to the U.S.; and is com- fortable with the media associat- ing his name with 'Jeopardy' or 'Pitfall'. "Alex, can I have Overcrowded Emergency Waiting Rooms for $500?" For Oshawa mayor, I nominate Michael J. Fox. He was fiscally re- sponsible as the right-wing char- acter on 'Family Ties', Alex Keaton, and he gained political experience acting as the mayor's assistant on 'Spin City'. Plus, he may be able to do what Oshawa politicians have failed: bring the city's image 'Back to the Future'. Could the downtown arena be the flux capacitor the city needs to bring people back downtown? Clarington needs a young guy, popular with the ladies. Perhaps only William Shatner could take the place of Mayor John Mutton (although K.D. Lang could do the job, too). The council chamber could be decorated like the bridge of the Enterprise, and deputations could be done on a giant video screen at the front of the room where guests are forced to dress like Klingons. A breech in the ship's core would take on a new meaning with Darlington Nuclear nearby. Finally, Alan Thicke could be Regional chairman. He would un- derstand the Region's pride and self-pity over the area's huge pop- ulation growth, and blame it on the Province just as our current representatives do. He'd refer to the troubles as 'Growing Pains'. But the truth is, actors have an edge over the rest of the famous candidates. Because many politi- cians study the art of acting well before they're voted into power. "A lex, could I have famous Canadian blackouts for $300?"

Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge Liberal candidate Wayne Arthurs will have more than enough on his plate campaigning morn- ing, noon and night to defeat a popular incumbent.

A political campaign, as Mayor Arthurs well knows, is a gru- elling, non-stop rollercoaster involving countless hours of door-knocking, campaign meetings, polling, all-candidates fo- rums and glad-handing at factory entrances and on main street. Candidates in Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge will have to head off to three separate municipalities in search of votes. It's not a job that can be accomplished on the side or in a part- time fashion. Contrast Mayor Arthurs's stance with that of Liberal candi- date Dennis Fox in neighbouring Whitby-Ajax riding. A mu- nicipal representative in Whitby, Councillor Fox, who has a tough fight on his hands with Minister of Enterprise, Oppor- tunity and Innovation Jim Flaherty, has decided to take a one- month leave of absence meaning he will not accept council pay from Sept. 2 to Oct. 2. Just as importantly the leave signifies Candidate Fox will put Councillor Fox on ice for four weeks. It's an honest way to treat the electorate, and politically savvy too, if you expect votes whether it be Oct. 2 or Nov. 10. Another mayor, Lou Rinaldi in Brighton, has made the right call and has taken a leave while running as the Liberal candi- date in Northumberland. Mayor Rinaldi has evaluated the sit- uation and realizes he will need to spend all his time hunting for provincial votes. Candidates who want to have it both ways may find voters aren't sure exactly where their commitment lies. While munic- ipal representatives can't be blamed because the timing of the election - decided solely by the premier - overlaps with the municipal nomination deadline (Sept. 26), they still have to be prepared for such an eventuality. Clear rules don't exist when it comes to councillors or may- ors running for higher office. Such a situation must change. A leave during campaign periods should be mandatory, not vol- untary. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 5, 2003 PAGE 7 A/P BAYWO OD CENTRE CORNER OF BAYLY ST AND MONARCH AJAX (IN THE NO FRILLS PLAZA) SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 6 8 A.M.

In fact, University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology (UOIT) re- searchers say first-year college and university students, of which almost 1,000 will be starting at the new uni- versity Thursday, are a powerful and highly influential group. According to the second annual First InSight report, which looks at the attitudes and behaviours of Canada’s first-year college and uni- versity students, their influence clearly helps drive social and eco- nomic spending. On average, today’s post-sec- ondary students have at least one credit card, and 40 per cent report carrying debt on the cards. These students spend about $500 per month on fast food and clothes, and they drive household spending. “They are the first generation that has been marketed to their entire lives and they’re not afraid to flex a little influential muscle when it comes to their post-secondary edu- cation,” says Dr. Sharon Loverock, manager of Research Services at Os- hawa’s UOIT. Dubbed the “double cohort” gener- ation, the majority of these students were born in 1984 or 1985 and make up part of the 1.7 million students who are enrolled in courses leading to degrees, diplomas or certificates at public colleges and universities throughout Canada. There are now more Canadian post-secondary students than there are citizens of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or any of the Atlantic Provinces. And, there are more stu- dents attending post-secondary in- stitutions in Canada than there are farmers, fishers, miners, forestry workers, utility workers, oil and gas workers and construction workers combined. Since this group of stu- dents was five or six years old (1990- 19 91), the average undergraduate tu- ition in Canada has jumped by 76 per cent. Now, students who borrow money for their education and gradu- ate from four-year degree programs can expect to accumulate an average debt of $21,200. The report shows these students are a highly influential bunch and help dictate pop culture from music and movies to fashion and celebrity status. They love music, yet they spend only half as much time listen- ing to the radio as adults. The latest fashion trends include urban styles, retro hippie looks and recycled ‘trash’ - getting creative by redesigning consignment items with a bit of flare. Denim - low-riders and hip-hug- gers - remain most popular among this group of students. Celebrities quickly rising to the top among this group include Mike Vogel, skater star of the movie ‘Grind’, Mark McGrath, lead singer of Sugar Ray, Ashanti, Grammy-winning R&B singer, and Tyra Banks, model and host of America’s Next Top Model. First years make their mark on society Keeping an eye on the news News Advertiser ..Read by more people in your community than any other newspaper Metroland Durham Region Media Group BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Public school board trustees on Monday shot down proposed changes to its school nam- ing policy. An ad hoc committee of trustees was formed in May after Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler argued the process of naming board schools did not involve enough people in the com- munity. In recent years she has twice objected to names chosen for Oshawa schools, though she sat on the naming committees that approved them. The ad hoc committee’s amendments, while few, specifically set out that only trustees sitting on a naming committee can vote for the school name. The existing policy does not make that clear, but other committee members generally vote. Most standing commit- tee members opposed the suggested amendment. Board chairman Elizabeth Roy called for the line to be deleted from the draft doc- ument. “If this is the case, to only have trustees in there, then forget about the com- munity,” she said. Trustee Roy said trustees must hear from school councils before making any changes to the policy. With other trustees agreeing the line excluded non-trustee committee members, Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford, a member of the ad hoc com- mittee, was left to defend the proposed change. Trustee Shetler did not at- tend the meeting. “This just expresses the policy that was already in place; we just weren’t prac- ticing it,” he said. “There’s nothing in this that ex- cludes anyone.” “Clearly, only trustees are voting members” if the change passed at the next board meeting, countered Trustee Roy. “It was our finding that that was the way it was in- tended to be applied,” replied Trustee Crawford. Education director Craig Burch, who met with the ad hoc committee, said the committee, which also in- cluded Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers, “intend- ed only trustees as voting members.” He said the board obviously has to set out clearly who can vote. “It seems like the com- munity has been excluded from the decision,” said Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper of the intended change, noting that changes to a policy would require the approval of two-thirds of trustees to be approved. “I, too, felt that it changed the focus from being a community-based decision to a trustees’ deci- sion,” said Uxbridge-Brock Trustee Nancy Loraine. She called for all mem- bers of a naming commit- tee to be eligible to vote. “I’m just appalled at this one line...and the fact that it’s in bold just adds insult to injury,” said Pickering Trustee Jennifer Bridge. Changes to the existing document were in bold print on the agenda. While Trustee Bridge has seen school names she does not agree with, she said it’s the community’s decision to make. “We need to delete this line and send it back to committee, and maybe somebody new should sit on the committee as well,” said Trustee Bridge. Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen defended the change, saying trustees work in the best interest of the communities they rep- resent. In the end, trustees voted to let the ad hoc committee have another kick at the can in tweaking the policy.

These kids aren’t average BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Getting it right the first time. If there’s one common thread to their success, Durham’s top high school g raduates say it’s ensuring they understand a concept when it is taught and asking for help or taking the time to get it down pat if they don’t. Durham’s best student from the double cohort year is Ains- ley Lawson, a Grade 12 gradu- ate of Dunbarton High School in Pickering. The 17 year old’s average is a stunning 99.3 per cent, and includes perfect 100s in calculus, geometry and computer science. Ms. Law- son’s lowest mark in her high school career was a measly 90 in Grade 9 gym. “I never just leave a ques- tion unanswered; I go and ask my teachers,” she said in an interview. “There’s no harm in asking a question; no one’s going to make fun of you.” As one would expect, Ms. Lawson has fewer questions than most students. But that doesn’t mean her intellect gave her a free ride. “I just worked really hard and studied,” she said. “I just get it most times, especially in math and science; it comes easy.” Ms. Lawson says her aver- age improved every year since Grade 9, and she wanted to keep her string alive last year after attaining a 98 per cent average in Grade 11. Mission accomplished. She says she loved her teachers at Dunbar- ton, who were more often than not friends as well as educa- tors. A clarinet player who digs Mozart, Ms. Lawson is attend- ing the St. George Campus of the University of Toronto and taking chemistry and comput- er science. She’s not expecting to duplicate her 99, however Ms. Lawson is a scholarship recipient and has to maintain at least an 80 per cent average in order to qualify for the $5,000 per year. She replies, “I think so,” when asked if she can do it. She’s always consid- ered a teaching career, but notes, “people seem to want me to do something bigger.” “I’m not worrying about it now,” she says. At the Durham Catholic District School Board, two Pickering students tied for the highest average, 97.83 per cent. Matthew Fellion finished Grade 12 French immersion at All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whitby, while Jacob Bell is an OAC graduate of St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering. Mr. Fellion also emphasized the importance of not skip- ping over something he does- n’t fully understand right away. “I’m not a huge studier,” he says. “I feel the most impor- tant thing to me is to under- stand it when I first see it.” He’s living at home while at- tending the University of To r onto’s Scarborough cam- pus. Mr. Fellion had made up his mind to become an Eng- lish professor, “but I’ve be- come more and more interest- ed in Math,” he says. As a re- sult, he’s going to cover his bases. “I’m going to double major in English and Math... and see which one appeals to me and go on and be a professor in that,” he says. Mr. Fellion acknowledges “a few butterflies” at the prospect of going to universi- ty, but just a few. “I’m not really nervous; I like challenges,” he said. “I’ll go and see what it’s like and hopefully rise to the chal- lenge.” Mr. Bell was surprised to learn he was at the head of the graduating class. “I didn’t even expect that I was the top, even in the school year here (at St. Mary),” he said. “I figured there has to be somebody better.” He says he’s always done well in school, but added that he didn’t have the best grades of any student in his first few years of high school. But he “settled in,” and like his high- achieving peers, Mr. Bell says his hard work is done early, well before the night of the test or the due date for the as- signment. “It’s all about preparedness, I think,” he says. “I’ve got this mindset that I don’t want to go into a test situation or an assignment if I don’t know everything.” He is one of 80 students tak- ing a business and math pro- gram at both Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo. The transition shouldn’t be too tough, as all of his three housemates in res- idence are from St. Mary, and two are friends. Mr. Bell hopes to become a lawyer, even though the road there is a long one, starting with his first year at universi- ty. “I was a bit tempted to go into something less onerous- sounding,” he admits. “Busi- ness and math sounds like it will be hard.” Top of the class Top students from the Durham Catholic board are Jacob Bell (St. Mary) left, and Matt Fellion (All Saints). Dunbarton High School’s Ashley Lawson led the way for both school boards by posting an incredible 99.3 average. A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 5, 2003 www.durhamregion.com UOIT begins its journey of excellence BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Steven Beamis is a pioneer in his own backyard. The Oshawa resident is a first-year student at the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology and is taking me- chanical engineering. On Wednesday, he sat in a common area using his university-issued laptop computer, marvelling that the wireless Internet connection was better than on his home computer. “Part of the reason would be the lap- top; I like the idea of electronic learn- ing,” Mr. Beamis said of his reasons for coming to the UOIT. “I also like the idea of being in the first class and shaping a school.” He also chose the UOIT because it was close to home and meant he didn’t have to fork out a lot of money to live in residence. Mr. Beamis said surfing the net with- out being plugged in is “very cool.” He finds the people “friendly,” and was impressed the new academic building was ready in time.” “It’s not quite finished, but the walls are up,” Mr. Beamis said. While the university site is still taking shape, with construction work on several fronts, it didn’t faze him. Mr. Beamis said he’s a graduate of O’Neill Collegiate and Vocational Institute, and is used to noise since the new regional cancer cen- tre is being erected near his old school. Nicole Mastnak is from Wingham, near Lake Huron. A biology major, she might combine that with law and “hopefully get into forensics” in the future. “When I found out it was a new university, I thought it would be a once-in-a-life- time opportunity,” she says. Actually, the University of Guelph was her first choice. But, that was based on the proximity to her hometown and because some friends were going there. Ms. Mast- nak is happy how things turned out. “I’m so glad I chose this school,” she says. “Coming here is going to be a really good experience.” She’s living in residence and has al- ready met a few people. “People are really friendly,” says Ms. Mastnak. “Everybody’s in the same posi- tion. Me and my roommate just clicked right away.” She’s done some partying and after this weekend vows she’s going to work “really hard.” Attending her first biology class in the new academic building, she said it was sometimes hard to follow what was being discussed on her laptop, but she was keeping up. As for the occasional hammering and drilling during the ‘welcome to the course lecture’ from Professor Doug Holdway, she said it would be worth it in the end when the new buildings are fin- ished. “The construction can be a little bit annoying,” said Ms. Mastnak. “But I can picture it and I think it’s going to be real- ly beautiful.” Professor Holdway is a pioneer as well, and says that’s why he chose to come to the UOIT, Ontario’s first university in 40 years. And, one of the few, he noted, that offers environmental toxicology. In his first class, he encouraged stu- dents to consider going on after a Bache- lor of Science to further studies, advising them not to close that door, and possible scholarships, by doing poorly as under- graduates. “A little bit of hard work now pays huge dividends in the future,” said Dr. Holdway, describing it as his “pep talk.” He told students he’s no computer wizard, advising them to take advantage of the 24-hour technical help they can re- ceive. “The university’s here to look after you as individuals; you’re not a number,” he said. Dr. Holdway had a bit of a computer glitch during the class, later learning that his screensaver was to blame. He took it in stride, telling students, “we’re learning at the same time that you are.” The university’s dean of science, William Smith, sat in on the class, snap- ping a photo to mark the moment. Born in Montreal, Professor Holdway moved around a lot as a youngster as his was a military family. Last year he was at the University of Prince Edward Is- land, but for 14 years before that, his sec- ond home was the Royal Melbourne In- stitute of Technology. “I think it’s going to be fantastic,” he says of the new university. Professor Holdway added he was amazed at the patience the students, given the construction work going on. Jo r dan Arnott graduated from Picker- ing High School in Ajax and is taking Mechtronics, a combination of electron- ics and mechanical engineering. Durham College’s success and the proximity of the university to his home are reasons why he picked the Oshawa university. Travel is a big issue for him, added Mr. Arnott, since he doesn’t have a job and isn’t yet a fully-licensed driver. For now, he’s taking advantage of the new bus service from Ajax/Pickering to the cam- pus. Mr. Arnott said he knows of several people from Pickering High who are going to the university. “It sort of makes it a lot easier to fit in,” he said. Ken Swan, president of the university and Durham College student associa- tion, said the first week has gone well. “There’s a lot of positive feedback,” he said. “No student has come to me with a complaint yet, which is a good thing.” The biggest hassle so far seems to be the parking situation. Unless you arrive early in the morning, a spot close to the buildings is a rarity. That means many students have to park in the lot, a farm field, really, just north of Conlin Road, accessed via a bumpy gravel road. Shut- tle buses constantly ferry students to and from the campus, but some choose to walk. Even getting into the campus by car has been difficult. “The parking’s a little bit crazy,” said Durham College advertising student Keeley Mack, a Port Hope resident. “(On Wednesday) I got in at 8 a.m. and it took me 20 minutes; the line-up to get in here was crazy.” Ms. Mack believes the administration was ready for the influx of more stu- dents. “Compared to last year, it’s way huge,” she said. “But it seems all right. I went into the (learning) commons and I could always find a computer.” Mr. Swan said “there’s always issues with parking,” but the administration is doing its best to accommodate everyone. He outlined a number of welcome week events coming up, including First Blast on Friday night, a pub night with a lot of fun and prize giveaways. Saturday is a “full day” with activities during the daylight hours, including a barbecue and dunk tanks, and The Matthew Good Band in concert at night. “People are having a good time; stu- dents seem to be enjoying the campus,” said Mr. Swan.

He teaches and practises meditation here - at the Ching Kw ok Temple - in the peaceful rural setting away from Toronto where the main tem- ple is located. The air is clean- er in Durham, and the sounds of the city don’t interfere with the meditative lifestyle, says his interpreter Lucy Chang. The temple - surrounded by gardens and cornfields - has been in use by followers of Buddha for about a year. The converted five-bedroom house sits on 10 acres of land in Whitby. It includes a shrine hall, kitchen and eating area. About 20 people, mainly from Toronto, visit the temple on weekends to meditate. Master Wu De, who became a monk in 1969, lived in Viet- nam during the country’s war with the U.S. Witnessing the hardship and human suffering during this conflict had a def- inite influence on the monk’s desire to teach compassion and peace, he says. “We promote the knowledge of cause and effect,” he ex- plains. “It is sad to see the world changing, that’s why we all have to believe in cause and effect.” Several small plants sit be- hind him soaking in the light from the picture window. The light hits his back, creating a yellow glow around his small frame and freshly shorn head. He talks about the process of meditation, and the first steps of learning the art, such as proper sitting position and breathing exercises. He sits effortlessly in a lotus position (cross-legged), his back straight, and his right hand on top of the left in his lap. Meditation helps people focus, says Ms. Chang, who says her master can sit any- where from one to two hours at a time. It is all part of leading a simple, peaceful life, she adds. The ancient religion hasn’t changed at all over the cen- turies, Master Wu De says, al- though the people have. He believes being aware of how we treat others is as impor- tant today as ever. “We can all live in world peace,” he explains, adding how behaving with kindness to others will ultimately bring happiness to ourselves. Like- wise, he explains, doing harm to others will also come back to us, whether in this life or the next. Understanding the philosophy takes work, he says. It can take years to properly understand Bud- dhism. “Education is not enough,” the monk says, adding the an- swers to life’s questions are based in feelings, not words. Master Wu De notes he has spent decades perfecting his own relationship with Bud- dhism, and still needs to work at it. He says the first step is to find a good teacher, because it is easy to “go astray” otherwise. Both Can- tonese and Mandarin are spoken at the temple, and English is some- times provided by Ms. Chang. Visit www.Buddhismcanada.com for more information about temples in Ontario. Master Wu De, who teaches meditation and Buddhism in Durham, says he promotes the knowledge of cause and effect. Followers look for peace from Buddha Janet Ecker is not protecting Seaton, which is every bit as sensitive as the Oak Ridges Moraine. Janet Ecker and the Conservative Party have taken the planning rights away from you and your locally elected officials. Now they want to produce their own plan behind closed doors. This is a slap in the face for Pickering Residents. SEATON IS HOME TO COLD WATER CREEKS, FORESTED AREAS, AQUIFERS & OTHER SIGNIFICANT NATURAL & CULTURAL HERITAGE AREAS.

Backwoods Players take a step back in time BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Here’s your chance to retrace the steps of Peter Matthews in his transfor- mation from loyalist to rebel in the 1837 Upper Canada upris- ings. ‘A Spirit Walk’, performed by the Pickering Museum Village Backwoods Players, takes visi- tors on a lantern-lit walk begin- ning with the early settlement of Pickering in the 1790s to the af- termath of the 1837 Upper Cana- da Rebellion. The play takes place Sept. 12, 13 , 19 and 20 at Pickering Muse- um Village with performances beginning at 7:45 p.m. “It’s a true story of a man who was hanged for his beliefs,” says Mary Delaney, who co-directs the production with Catherine Hodge. “There are many indica- tions that the people involved in the rebellion didn’t want to fire a shot. “Peter Matthews was decorat- ed for his part in the War of 1812,” she adds. “He was loyal to the Crown to the core, but he hated what the Tories were doing to Upper Canada.” Absentee landlords, taxation without fair representation, ed- ucation and other issues spurred farmers like Matthews to take up axes and pitchforks in protest. ‘A Spirit Walk’, in its eighth season, tries to give visi- tors some insight into the rebel psyche using original research and family materials. “We’re in contact with many of the descendents,” explains De- laney. “Many do come back to see the play and sometimes they may find a mistake or have ma- terials to update our research. “For instance, this year, we have a letter describing an at- tempted arrest to add to the play,” she adds. “We’re constant- ly, constantly revising our re- search. I like to think of it as a living, growing piece of history.” ‘A Spirit Walk’ facilitated by nine tour guides dressed as Peter Matthew’s second wife, Hannah, lead groups of 15 along the trail as the drama unfolds. Visitors meet various charac- ters along the way. All of them are “real people” documented in research, says Delaney. The play involves more than 60 actors and crewmembers, many of whom return each year to take part. The cast often get caught up in the fun and the important lessons of history they are telling, says Delaney. “We know so little about our heroes in Canada,” she says. “But the 1837 Rebellion is what led to Confederation. This is where Canada was born.” Tickets are $10 each and must be purchased in advance. ‘A Spirit Walk’ is not recommend- ed for children under the age of 12. Pickering Village Museum is located on Hwy. 7, between Brock Road and Westney Road in the village of Greenwood. For more information, contact 905- 683-8401. A spirited affair DDUURRHHAAMM — It’s off to the opera as the Oshawa-Durham Symphony Orchestra opens its 47th season on Sept. 13. Tenorissimo, the first of six concerts will feature the vocal talents of world-renowned tenor Vladimir Grishko and Canadian soprano Marie-Josee Lord. Conductor Marco Parisotto will lead the orches- tra. Grishko, star at the Kirov Opera of St. Petersburg, will sing the greatest arias from Ve rdi, Puccini and Tchaikovsky, songs from his native Ukraine and as well as heart-wrenching duets with Lord. A recording star in Europe, Grishko started his musical ca- reer at age seven in his native Ukraine. He has taken numer- ous prizes in Russia, Europe and his home country and has become famous on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In North America, he’s performed with the Metropolitan Opera, New Yo rk City Opera, Detroit Opera and the Canadian Opera Company. His Ukrainian roots remain strong. In 2001, he received the National Ukrainian Taras Shevchenko Award for repre- sentation of Ukraine in the world of music. The first concert of the sea- son marks a return visit for Lord, who sang the soprano role in the Mozart ‘Requiem’ with the Bell’Arte Singers in January. The ‘Montreal Gazette’ hailed Lord’s performance in a concert recital as “... a voice of wonderful depth and pliability casting a radiant glow. Her presence is spellbinding ... a very classy singer with a bright future.” On Oct. 18, Borislav Strulev returns to Oshawa for the Jew- ish Heritage Concert, a com- memorative concert. He’ll share his interpretation of the ‘Hebrew Rhapsody, Schelmom’ by Ernest Bloch. Classical pops will rule on Nov. 22 at ‘Last Night of the Proms.’ It will be a symphonic feast for British music at its most enthusiastic. Featured will be the sing-along anthems ‘J erusalem,’ ‘Rule Britannia,’ ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ along with Imperial Marches, ‘Harold in Italy,’ Berlioz’s the- atrics inspired by poet Lord Byron. Virtuoso Michael Zemtsov will join the orchestra on the viola, a rarely-heard solo instrument. On Jan. 17, 2004, the Sym- phony celebrates the centenni- al of 20th Century composer Aram Khatchaturian, compos- er of the famed ‘Sabre Dance.’ His orchestral virtuosity and exotic tone painting will be demonstrated by Canadian- Armenian guest conductor Harout Fazlian. Hong King child prodigy Chuan Yun ‘Babee’ Li will performed the Violin Concerto. Romance is in the air Feb. 14 with ‘A New Beginning: the New World.’ The symphony will perform Dvorak’s depiction of the New World.

The beloved child star of the hugely popular TV sit- com ‘The Glimmer Gang’ was adored by millions of viewers who were captivated by his quirky charm - and then he turned six. Suddenly the ratings slipped, his show was can- celled and the Dickie Roberts phenomenon ended for everyone - except for Dickie. Desperate to rise from the obscurity he plunged into after puberty, Dickie, now a 35-year-old parking valet, is willing to do anything in order to get his career back on track. Convinced his star will rise again if only he can ace an audition for director Rob Reiner (portraying himself), Dickie is stunned when Rein- er explains to him that be- cause of his former life in the spotlight, he missed out on his childhood, and now isn’t “normal” enough for the part. Dickie sets into action a plan to redo his childhood.

Following a series of unex- plained murders, a renegade priest begins an investigation that hurls him into a mael- strom of unimaginable evil, murder and the knowledge that there is a fate worse than death. The priest’s search takes him to The Sin Eater - a key figure in this mysterious and ancient Order. The immortal Sin Eater’s role is nothing less than play- ing God on earth by absolv- ing the unforgivable of their sins outside the Church, al- lowing great evil to go unpun- ished. Burdened with centuries of evil, The Sin Eater craves the luxury of death. But who will eat his sins and grant eternal peace? Who will carry on his dark tradition and continue the work of the order? As the young priest uncov- ers the answers and pursues these paragons of evil, he fights to save his own soul and that of the woman he loves.

See page 31 Exhibition season ends this weekend; season starts for real next week BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ---- The junior 'A' pre- season for the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers has started not with a bang, but with a pro- nounced thud. The OHA Ontario Provincial Junior 'A' Hockey League club has dropped all three of its exhi- bition season contests to date -- two by more than five-goal mar- gins. The Panthers' pre-season began last Wednesday (after a false start with a cancelled game against Peterborough Aug. 21) with a 6-4 loss to the visiting Bowmanville Eagles. The Picker- ing juniors absorbed an 8-3 de- feat by the Wexford Raiders on home ice last Thursday and, on the weekend, were beaten in Bowmanville 7-1 by the Eagles. If there's concern for the poor pre-season record, new Panthers head coach and GM John Winder is anything but worried. Giving rookies ample chance to prove themselves, while getting all 27 players still in training camp some game action takes prece- dence over winning and losing at this stage of the game, says Winder. "We are still formulating our line-up. We should be done by Sunday," says Winder. The young Panthers will have another chance to redeem them- selves as they travel to Ajax to face OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior 'A' South Conference rival Axemen at the Ajax Community Centre tonight (Friday) at 8 p.m. As for Sunday's exhibition tilt against Bowmanville, Winder says his old team (he was an Ea- gles' assistant coach before join- ing Pickering this season) has its roster already picked and has a formidable mix of veterans and rookies entering the 2003-04 sea- son. "Bowmanville is going to have a dandy team this year," says Winder. "They really impressed me with their great mix of old and new." As for Winder's new squad, the pre-season is a learning experi- ence for a team destined to go as far as its young lineup will take it. With the absence of several of its top scorers from last year (James Gadon, Cory Black, Peter Franchin, to name a few), the Panthers are giving up a pile of goals right off the bat. "Anybody can make excuses, but when you lose eight of your top scorers from last year, it's tough. I defy anyone to build a team with the top eight scorers right out of the lineup. I'm con- cerned (with the losing), but not too concerned. It's not like we didn't see it coming." Despite the losses, Winder sees lots of positives in the pre-season, among them the play of incum- bent defenceman Bryan Hamp- ton. "He's looking as good as ever on defence. He's certainly going to be our quarterback." The work of local rookies Phil McIlhone and Richard Schofield also haven't gone unnoticed in the pre-season, says Winder. By the end of this weekend, Winder says he'll have his lineup solidified. That will mean three cuts among the 15 forwards still in camp and two cuts to the nine remaining defencemen. In terms of goaltending, Jonathan Keating, formerly of the Toronto Young Nats midgets, has been signed by the team. A battle exists for the one remain- ing goaltending spot available be- tween Drew Rogers, formerly of the North York Rangers, and Jesse Fuchs, who played last year with the Toronto Stallions. The Panthers will play a home- and-home pre-season series against the Eastern Conference's Port Hope Clippers this weekend. The Panthers play at Port Hope this Saturday, Sept. 6 at the Jack Burger Sports Complex at 8 p.m. The return match -- the Panthers' final pre-season tilt -- is in Picker- ing Sunday, Sept. 7 at 4:30 p.m. The Pickering juniors start South Conference regular-season play Friday, Sept. 12 at Huntsville against the Wildcats at 8 p.m. The Panthers' home opener is Sunday, Sept. 14 at the complex against the Aurora Tigers.

Girls Power up for Ontario Cup final Under-12 reps face Erin Mills Eagles Sunday PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——A powerhouse Pickering Power girls' soccer team will play with provincial suprema- cy on the line at the Ontario Cup final game Sunday. The Pickering Power girls' under-12 rep soccer team will suit up against the Erin Mills Eagles in the final played at the Coffee Time Centre in Vaughan at 11 a.m. The Power enter the final on a high after easily dispatching the Burlington Challenge 7-0 in the Ontario Cup semifinal game at Nor th York's Ester Shiner Stadi- um Aug. 23. The Pickering girls started their march toward the Ontario Cup in mid July when they trav- elled to Sault Ste. Marie for the first-round contest. There, Power defeated the hometown Sault Civics 2-0 to advance to the sec- ond round. In the second-round match, Power played to a 1-1 tie with the London Hurricanes. This set the stage for the last game of the On- tario Cup tournament weekend, playing the North Mississauga Twisters, with the winner advanc- ing to the quarter-finals. Picker- ing posted a strong effort to se- cure a 4-1 victory and a berth in the quarter-finals. Pickering travelled to the Ot- tawa region to play the Kanata Kobras in the Ontario Cup quar- ter-finals Aug. 9. There, they played another solid game to emerge with a 3-0 victory. The Pickering team also clinched the Central Girls' Soccer League championship for the third consecutive year and is now working toward attaining the same consecutive title over the next month as Cup outdoor champions. In tournament play this season the Power had a strong start. They played up one year and won the Oshawa under-13 girls' tour- nament in May. They also won the COVI tournament in early June and the OSCAR tourna- ment over the Labour Day week- end. In league play, the Power has an incredible 14-0-2 record, scor- ing 82 goals in those games, while allowing only 11 against.

What is Sledge Hocke y ? Sledge Hockey is similar to stand up ice hockey and follows the same rules of play. The biggest difference lies in the equipment used. Players sit on the ice in a fitted sledge which is a unique sled with a back rest & skate blades mounted underneath, 2 short sticks are used, a blade on one end & metal picks on the other to allow players to propel across the ice. The rest of the equipment is the same as hockey. Anyone is welcome to come out & try a sledge. The Steel Hawks have ice time every Sunday from 12:00 - 2:00 p.m. on Arena #3 at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre, 500 Victoria St. West, Whitby. Do you know someone who loves Hockey but is unable to play regular hockey due to a physical challenge or limitation? Then Sledge Hockey is the sport for them!
