DDUURRHHAAMM — Second World War airplanes and a parachute team are the highlights of Friday’s Juno Beach Challenge kickoff. The Region of Durham is chal- lenging every municipality in Canada to raise funds for the Juno Beach Centre in France. Despite its opening in June, do- nations are still needed to com- plete the centre’s enhancements. The challenge kick-off will feature the Canadian Forces Sky Hawks Parachute Team, Major General Lewis MacKenzie, and D-Day veteran Jan de Vries of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion. A f ly-past of Second World War planes will wrap up the event. The Region has purchased a commemorative brick to be dis- played at the Juno Beach Centre, and will unveil the design on Fri- day. Renderings of the original bricks the eight municipalities in Durham purchased will also be there. The kickoff starts at 11 a.m. at Harwood Point Memorial Gardens in Ajax, at the foot of Harwood Avenue and Lake Dri- veway.

Local councillors voted unanimously Monday night to request the Province and On- tario Power Generation (OPG) rescind their agree- ment with a consortium in- cluding Babcock and Wilcox (B&W) Canada. But OPG and a local MPP say the move will not compro- mise safety and will take ad- vantage of the most current expertise in the field. The US arm of the steam generator manufacturer has been linked to the nuclear ac- cident, which occurred at Three Mile Island in Harris- burg, Penn in 1979. A subse- quent U.S. President’s com- mission report concluded the accident was operator error, but cited B&W and a number of suppliers for providing in- adequate training to the plant’s nuclear operators. “Here we go again. It’s 1997. Turn back the clock and once more this community has concerns about nuclear safe- ty,” said Ward 2 City Council- lor Dave Ryan, who forward- Three Miles Island shocker These girls have pull PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Patricia Tillaart and Amanda Mauchan give it all they’ve got as they take part in a tug of war at the Greenwood Village Festival.

Kinsale property dispute continues BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — A Kinsale auto wrecker has withdrawn his application to the Ontario Municipal Board, but both he and neighbours objecting to the operation say their strug- gle is far from over. “It’s in the hands of a lawyer and an outside planner, who are looking at this in a differ- ent light,” said Barry Kauf- man, owner of Number 7 Auto Recyclers. An Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing was set to take place Monday at City Hall to appeal a Jan. 13 Pick- ering council decision not al- lowing Mr. Kaufman to rezone his property. He wants the re- zoning in order to bring his existing property on Balsam Road into compliance, allow- ing him to make improve- ments to the property, he says. But Mr. Kaufman said he withdrew his application to the OMB because he didn’t think a hearing would put an end to complaints levelled at his shop. “We’ve been here since 1952 but that doesn’t seem to have any bearing on anyone,” he said. “We’re going to go about this is a different way, not nec- essarily before council and definitely not through the OMB.” Number 7 has legal non- conforming status, having been in existence before the City’s by-laws. But Mr. Kauf- man, who purchased the property in 1989, said he was trying to rezone the auto wreckers to formally recog- nize a number of improve- ments he made in 1999. Pickering’s planners recom- mended the zoning go for- ward with a holding provision until Mr. Kaufman completed certain requirements under the site plan. But council re- jected his application after hearing fears from neighbours about the quality of their drinking water and concerns about the aesthetics of the property. A three-day OMB hearing was originally set for July but Mr. Kaufman asked for a postponement, arguing a change in lawyers meant his new counsel needed more time to review the case. The OMB fined the owner $700 and the hearing was put off until Sept. 15. Now with a hearing cancelled altogether, Mr. Kaufman’s neighbours are pleased, but they wonder what will come next. Crown could seek life for gang member BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Marlon Maragh is guilty of gunning down Teran Richards in cowardly style during a pickup basket- ball game in a Pickering high school gymnasium. After deliberating for three days a jury Sunday concluded he was the gunman who pumped three bullets from a .357-revolver into the back of Mr. Richards during a City- organized game at Pine Ridge High School on April 3, 2001. Mr. Richards, the 22-year-old former Ajax man who was also shot in the elbow, sur- vived but lost a kidney and half a lung during life-saving surgery. His intended killer hung his head in the prisoner dock and shed a tear as the jury foreperson read the ver- dicts declaring the 23-year- old Scarborough gang mem- ber guilty of eight counts, in- cluding attempted murder. During a four-month trial, court was told Mr. Maragh bragged to a cellmate and an undercover officer about being the shooter, and once threatened, “I’ll blow his head off” if Mr. Richards showed up in court. Claiming his confessions were false he insisted he boasted about being the shooter to gain respect from other inmates, a defence re- jected by jurors. David Bayliss, the Toronto lawyer who defended Mr. Maragh, appeared stunned by the jury verdict. “I’m wondering what it takes to raise a reasonable doubt out here,” he told Mr. Justice Bruce Glass of Supe- rior Court just before court adjourned. Mr. Bayliss then draped an arm around his downcast client and told him to “cheer up,” and that an appeal will be filed. Prosecutors Paul Murray and Isabel Pargana stated during earlier proceedings the Crown could seek a life sentence for Mr. Maragh. Maragh guilty in shooting Arthurs takes pay cut But Mayor won’t leave his post BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — In an effort to quash criticism about his dou- ble candidacy, Mayor Wayne Arthurs is giving the City $100 a day while he runs for MPP. The money, he says, should see taxpayers aren’t “short changed” and help offset any time for which he cannot pay the “fullest attention” to his mayoral duties during the provincial campaign. “Do I expect this will satisfy everyone? No,” he said in an interview. “I expect the issue will still be raised by my oppo- sition and others. But I’m ful- filling my obligations both un- officially and officially as mayor.” Mayor Arthurs revealed his plan to issue 20 cheques to the City for the period Sept. 8 to Oct. 3 (he said he expects to take the day off after the elec- tion to celebrate his victory) in response to concerns raised at Monday night’s council meet- ing. Les Fisher, a long-time Pickering resident and owner of the Paddock Garage on Hwy. 7, said at the meeting he feared business at the City might not be taken care of while Mayor Arthurs is cam- paigning for MPP. “I only suggest you step back and let the deputy mayor take your place,” he said.

June Timmons, a member of the Vil- lage Business Improvement Area and one of the festival organizers, says, “It went really well. It’s turning out to be bigger and bigger each year.” The festival ran Sept. 12 and 13, featur- ing a 1950s and ‘60s dance, and a full day of entertainment on Saturday. Ms. Tim- mons notes the dance attracted more people than expected. “There was a lot of entertainment (on Saturday), a juggler, magicians, Calypso music, Jungle Cat World and classic cars,” she says. “A lot of people had a great deal of fun.” The Village BIA is “doing a number of things” for the area to attract people and businesses. Events include a jazz concert in June and a Christmas lights ceremony set for later this year. The crowds came out to enjoy the Pickering Village Fall Festival on the weekend.

Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photos An award- winning news team Recipients of 47 provincial, national and Nor th American awards for editorial exce llence in 2003 The News Advertiser This Week The Canadian Statesman Uxbridge Times-Journal Metroland Durham Region Media Group Her husband killed by a drunk driver, Carol Ryan asks for lower blood-alcohol levels, right to appeal sentences BByy CChhrriiss HHaallll Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Premier Ernie Eves stepped off his campaign trail bus yesterday morning at the Scugog Community Centre where he was promptly greeted by a mob of local residents looking for answers - and autographs. Five steps off his bus, the Premier was immediately surrounded by a large group of students from the neighbouring Good Shepherd Catholic School who met the Con- servative leader with a handful of questions and requests for auto- graphs. From there, he made his way into the community centre where he held a roundtable discussion about vic- tims’ rights with a handful of guests before officially reiterating his party’s stance on the subject. Joining Premier Eves at the table was Durham MPP John O’Toole, Joe Wamback (whose son Jonathan was severely injured after he was beaten by a group of his Newmarket high school peers in 1999), Carol Ryan (whose husband Terry, a former Durham Regional Police Associa- tion president, was killed by a drunk driver a little more than a year ago), Dino Le Donne (who lost his grand- mother and unborn child in an acci- dent on Hwy. 401 in 1998 after his family vehicle was run off the road), Ontario Provincial Police Associa- tion President Brian Adkin and Rick McIntosh of the Toronto Police Association. Also joining them was Premier Eves’s partner, Isabel Bas- sett. “Since my son was injured in 1999, I have found myself deeply involved in victims’ rights,” said Mr. Wamback. “Since 1995 (when the Tories were first elected), this Province has done more for victims’ rights than any government before in this province.” Mrs. Ryan asked the Premier to consider giving victims the opportu- nity to appeal a convicted impaired driver’s sentence; giving police the right to seize a convicted impaired driver’s vehicle if he has been caught driving drunk three times; and for the Province to work on low- ering the legal blood-alcohol level from 0.08 to 0.05. “The government has the power to change the justice system, to make sure people don’t have to be afraid to drive on our roads because they’re afraid of drunk drivers,” said Mrs. Ryan. As part of his platform, Premier Eves vowed a Tory government would inform victims of any plea bargaining before deals are made; give victims a legal right to informa- tion regarding their cases, including notice when a criminal applies for early release, gets released or es- capes; give victims an absolute right to speak at parole board hearings; and overhaul the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board to eliminate red tape and dramatically speed up the payment of compensation to victims. “Ontario communities are only as strong as they are safe and a justice system that places the rights of criminals before victims is not safe at all,” said Premier Eves. “We will enhance the rights of vic- tims and protect community safe- ty.” DDUURRHHAAMM — Premier Ernie Eves touched on a variety of subjects yester- day while in town briefly to discuss his party’s vow to protect victims’ rights. OONN TTHHEE 22000033 CCAAMM -- PPAAIIGGNN::When asked how his party would respond to its perceived slide in the polls, the Premier noted he wasn’t a big be- liever in the surveys. “I don’t really believe there’s a slide. We don’t operate our government according to polls and the campaign according to polls,” said Premier Eves. “There is only one poll that really counts and that’s on Oct. 2 “My concern is deliver- ing our (Party’s) message with our platform and I’ll continue to do that for the next two weeks and few days.” OONN HHEEAALLTTHH CCAARREE:: “Our record on health care has been quite clear over the past eight years,” said the Premier, stress- ing his government spent no less than $17.4 billion on health care in 1995 and plans to spend about $28.3 billion in 2003. “That’s almost $11 bil- lion more... we’ve dramat- ically improved health care. Our commitment to health care is firm; from 1995 to 2003 we’ve dra- matically increased fund- ing to health care. My record stands; I’m quite prepared to talk (about) how we’ve spent more money on health care.” OONN TTOORRYY TTEELLEEVVII -- SSIIOONN AADDSS::“I don’t think the ads we are running are negative,” said the Premier, responding to a question asking if his party was not taking the high road with their ad- ver tisements. “Fifty per cent of our ads talk about leadership and how im- portant it is and the other 50 per cent talks about specific planks in our platform and how (Provincial Liberal Leader Dalton) McGuinty opposes them. “We’re trying to com- municate to as many peo- ple as we can.” OONN SSHHAARRIINNGG MMUUNNIICC-- IIPPAALL GGAASS TTAAXXEESS::“We will give municipalities three new ‘way’ areas, ways they can (get more money),” said Premier Eves. It has been suggested by Scugog politicians the Province should share a portion of the gas taxes it collects at the pumps and forward them to munici- palities to help create and maintain safe roads. Premier Eves said his party would be in favour of that, but that those elected “would have to prove that stand or hold a referendum” to let the community decide. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 17, 2003 PAGE A3 A/P New Store Hours: Mon. - Wed. 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Thurs. & Fri. 10 a.m. - 9 p.m., Sat 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Sun. 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. 900 Champlain Ave., Oshaw a 1-800-642-4561 or (905) 723-5211 *Not to be combined with best value items.

Carl Ferencz/ News Advertiser photo Please recycle A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 17. Court heard a disputed foul during an after-hours game between players from Picker- ing and Scarborough - the lat- ter whom Mr. Maragh had gone to the gym to watch - sparked an explosion of vio- lence on the court. The bad blood turned into spilled blood when Mr. Richards took exception after opposing Scarborough player Tyshan Riley - a friend of Mr. Maragh - punched his Picker- ing teammate Al Nabe in the face, court heard. The game halted and an en- raged Mr. Richards charged Mr. Riley, but was held back by teammates and game or- ganizers. Mr. Richards broke free and again went to chal- lenge Mr. Riley when he was felled by four bullets. Mr. Maragh told the under- cover officer he open fired to protect Mr. Riley from “get- ting beaten. I wasn’t going to let that happen.” Mr. Richards described in court feeling a “burning hot” sensation as one bullet ripped into his back, came out his chest and lodged in his hand. “I’m going to die... It was so hot it was burning like crazy,” he recalled thinking as he lay bleeding on the floor. A fifth stray bullet grazed the face of a 15-year-old girl, T-Sean Grant, sitting in the bleachers. About 100 young witnesses spilled out of the gym in the chaotic seconds after the shooting and Mr. Maragh, Mr. Riley and a third unidentified person fled the school in a rented Pontiac Sunfire. Three witnesses later iden- tified Mr. Maragh in court as the “man in grey” who pulled the trigger. The car driven by Mr. Maragh was spotted shortly after and chased until it lost control and crashed into a van carrying a father and two sons, court heard. Mr. Riley and Mr. Maragh tried fleeing on foot and were captured; the third person got away and was never iden- tified. Mr. Riley, 18, earlier plead- ed guilty to possession of crack cocaine and assault - for the punch on Mr. Nabe - and was given a nine-month sentence. At his own sentencing hear- ing in 2001 the Pickering man said he had nothing to do with the shooting and didn’t see who pulled the trigger. Just days before Mr. Maragh’s trial began in March, Mr. Riley was arrested on 22 gun charges, including possession of a firearm with ammunition, as a result of an unrelated police investiga- tion. Court heard Mr. Maragh hung out with a gang known as the Galloway Boys, which has waged a deadly turf war against rivals from another part of Scarborough called Malvern. He admitted he had armed himself with a gun after one of his friends was shot to death in early 2001, and twice was convicted of dealing crack cocaine. “I don’t go anywhere with- out my babies,” he said of his guns, a .45-calibre pistol and the .357, during a conversa- tion with the undercover offi- cer. At the time of the shooting he was serving a weekend jail sentence for trafficking. Mr. Maragh was also found g uilty of possession of a firearm while prohibited, ille- gal possession of a gun and three counts of flight from po- lice causing bodily harm for the chase that resulted in minor civilian injuries.

Private enterprise means for profit. We’ve seen it with Walkerton and we’re living through Aylmer.” Pickering is one of the few nuclear host communities with such a large residential area around the nuclear plant, making safety issues sur- rounding it even more crucial, said Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. “If I had on my resume I was the captain of the Titanic, how many people would let me run their ship?” he said. Wa rd 2 City Councillor Bill McLean said he was “totally aghast” by the news a private organization may soon be inspecting the plant. OPG has worked hard to gain the trust of the community since safety concerns shutdown the Pickering A station in 1997. “Safety has been and continues to be our priority,” said OPG spokesman John Earl. The move to privatize OPG’s in- spection services division is still only a “tentative deal,” which must be fi- nalized by OPG’s board of directors and its shareholder, the provincial government, he stressed. But if approved, it would mean a “migration” of existing OPG staff to provide inspections for the consor- tium, which is made up of Atomic Energy Canada Limited, NNC Hold- ings Limited and B&W. The consor- tium has extensive experience in the field, Mr. Earl said. Refusing to speak about B&W and its connection to the Three Mile Island affair, he said the deal wouldn’t change the fact nuclear safety is still federally regulated. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commis- sion will still have staff on-site at OPG’s nuclear facilities. “Most nuclear operators rely on third party experts,” Mr. Earl said, adding OPG is getting out of its non- core business. “With that you get staff with experience in other fields. This consortium has a breadth of ex- perience our staff just don’t have.” Local MPP Janet Ecker said the proposal to sell off nuclear inspec- tions hasn’t been kept secret but has been before the Ontario Energy Board since January. She dismissed council’s concerns as “scare monger- ing. “Nothing is being proposed that will interfere with safety programs and safety rules,” she said. “They’re playing politics with this issue. I look at what the safety experts are saying, not someone who is running for of- fice, talking about what happened in another country 20 years ago.” vices board. But Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson pointed out Mr. Fisher has been a resident since 1958, his father was a local and re- gional councillor as well as a police commissioner. Mr. Fisher, himself, has also served on the Durham Re- gion land division committee. “I’m not here as a police commis- sioner. I’m here as a citizen,” said Mr. Fisher. Coun. McLean defended Mayor Arthurs, adding in the last two weeks he’s spotted the mayor at “dozens” of functions performing his duties. He’s also at City Hall as early as 8 a.m. most mornings. “Do you think it’s fair to suggest the mayor step down when he’s still doing the mayor’s job and not ask Minister (Janet) Ecker to step down as well?” he asked as the council chambers erupted in applause. “If a minister was running for mu- nicipal election, I would have to ask that person too, who is doing your job?” Mr. Fisher responded. “It’s a matter of perception. No one is sug- gesting Wayne Arthurs isn’t doing his job. In my opinion, he’s probably the best mayor there’s ever been in Pick- ering.” Mayor Arthurs said he’s not the first member of council to run for a provincial seat while in office, but the Province’s timing in calling this par- ticular election has made it an issue. “I expect I will fulfil my obligation,” he said. “It is awkward, yes. But if there were greater distance between the provincial and municipal election it wouldn’t be as much of an issue.” The timing of the two elections is such that potential candidates don’t want to enter the mayor’s race, and Pickering could be in the position of only having one other candidate, Brian. Shedden said. But at the meeting City staff con- firmed Margaret Osborne filed her papers Friday, to make it a three-way mayor’s race between Mayor Arthurs, herself and former regional councillor Doug Dickerson. Should Mayor Arthurs win, there are now two remaining candidates allowing the mayor’s race to continue and a council appointment or by-election unnecessary. Arthurs will pay back $100 a day during campaign No safety concern: OPG ✦ No from page A1 ✦ Arthurs from page A1 CANDIDATE DEBATES Rogers Television and the Metroland Durham Region Media Group question the Provincial Election candidates about what matters to you.

Should I be worried? I hemmed and hawed (how exactly does one 'haw'?) about the slingshot thing, unsure of how it fit with the 'pacifist' ap- proach to life I am trying to walk. Eventually however, no amount of 'anti-war', 'one with nature', peacenik platitudes could hold a candle to seeing how absolutely 'Norman Rock- well' cute those boys looked walking around with a slingshot hanging out the back pocket of their jeans. I caved. Suzanne and I have had 'the talk' with them of course. No shooting at birds, cats, dogs, cars, windows, teachers or door- to-door salesmen. Those rules will hold for ap- proximately a week, maybe two if the kid is a real angel, but then, inevitably the temptation to shoot at real, living quarry will be too much. They will go after a bird or a squirrel or a chipmunk or an unlucky friend and eventually stupid blind luck will allow them to hit some- thing. Maybe even to harm it. That's when, if Suzanne and I have done anything right by them, life will hand our children a big, fat, ugly lesson, one of the hard ones you have to learn on your own. I can still vividly remember the first time I killed anything reasonably sentient. My brother J.J. and I were chucking apples in the orchard out behind our cottage as kids. We spied a chip- munk shucking pinecones atop a woodpile about 30 feet away. J.J. said there was no way I could hit it from where we stood. As no younger brother can refuse a dare of that nature from an older sibling I picked up an apple and side-armed it as hard as I could toward the woodpile. On a thousand other occa- sions, when there was no chip- munk sitting peacefully minding his own business, I wouldn't have been able to hit the broad side of a barn. But, of course this time, fate dreadfully guided my apple, like a seed-filled smart bomb, unfailingly to its target. I watched, filled with a sickening blend of horror, panic and oddly, pride, as the apple struck the edge of a log, razor- bladed in half and cleaned the chipmunk off the top of the woodpile. I remember neither one of us breathing for a mo- ment, then an awkward laugh, a 'Holy something or other' and the two of us racing to look be- hind the wood. He was there, on the ground, a leg twitching spasmodically and one dying, glassy eye turned up at me asking why? I call that my Adam and Eve moment. It was my first taste of forbidden fruit, power, the knowledge of good and evil, being human. I think we were both crying as somehow we found the courage to put the little fellow out of his misery by dropping a rock on him. We were very quiet little boys the rest of that afternoon. Lesson learned. So, I'll wait a few weeks. Wait for my two to have their Adam and Eve moment. And when they do, I hope to God they come home red-eyed and quiet.

EEddiittoorriiaallss &&OOppiinniioonnss WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ JACQUIE McINNES, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Letters to the Editor Chipmunk taught me well People of faith should ask election questions TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: There are many issues facing our province and our communi- ties. For our part, we are partic- ularly concerned about those who might easily be forgotten in the upcoming election. Faith communities and agencies have found ever-increasing pleas for help: people with no place to call home; children living in poverty who are relying on food banks; people with disabilities who are having difficulty securing bene- fits; working people who cannot earn enough to support them- selves or their families; and the ill who cannot afford prescrip- tion drugs or professional care in their homes. The cries of these people for help go unheard. As citizens of Ontario, we would like to pose some specific questions to candidates. What will your policies do: • To increase investment in early childhood education and childcare? • To boost the income and safeguard the income security of employed people who still are in poverty (e.g. minimum wage, in- come security)? • To insure that disabled peo- ple's rights to benefits under the Ontario Disability Support Pro- gram are assured? • To insure that people who are ill will be able to afford the medications they need and that those in need of professional health care in their homes will find it accessible? • Governments and elected leaders have a crucial ethical obligation to safeguard the well- being of people and communi- ties. But justice is an imperative that summons us all to open our doors and insure a place at our social table for all people, partic- ularly for those in need. We can no longer expect to have secure societies when there are so many insecure people. It diminishes their humanity and ours as well. This election is an opportunity for all Ontarians to make com- mon cause in pursuit of the com- mon good. A leader that ad- dresses these moral issues will have our support. JJaavveedd AAkkbbaarr,, DDiirreeccttoorr ooff OOuuttrreeaacchh PPiicckkeerriinngg IIssllaammiicc CCeennttrree Mayor Arthurs can multi-task TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: I think you are too hard on Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs regarding his decision not to give up his salary and take a one-month leave of absence (story 'Take a Seat and editorial 'You Can't Properly Serve Two Masters' Sept. 5). After all, his opponent, the Honourable Janet Ecker, is seeking re-elec- tion as an MPP, and at the same time continues as our Minister of Finance, until defeated. She had better continue with her portfolio, because she owes me replies to many letters I have sent covering such diverse top- ics as: • The ill-conceived presenta- tion of the budget at Magna In- ternational instead of the Legis- lature and the fact taxpayers are expected to pay $206,000 for this budget presentation that was a blatant political propa- ganda event; • The proposed tax rebate for seniors of the education portion of their property tax, which is going to cost the government about $450 million in tax rev- enue; • A list of the 225 tax cuts in- troduced by the PC government since being elected in 1995. You can properly serve two masters. GGuuyy CCoollmm,, AAjjaaxx Residents led down the garden path but found no trail TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Councillors promoting hiking trails should be encouraged. We thought we were doing that when we and Councillor David Pickles attended a site meeting with residents prior to the closing and sale of part of Sideroad 14 to Cherry Downs Golf Club. We understood we were promised that if we agreed to the closure, council would ob- ligate Cherry Downs to create a hiking trail in its place. We did, and they didn't. So voters, before you park your car, put on running shoes, and make tracks: make sure the politicians made the tracks first. For us, they didn't.

The problem is the Canada Health Act, established and regulated by the federal government, sets all the rules under which the provinces operate. That was fine when the funding of health care, four decades ago, was a 50-50 federal-provincial deal. However, over the years, the feds have chipped and cut the amount they deliver to the provinces so that now the balance is tipped to 17 per cent funding by the feds, 83 per cent from the provinces. In other words, Ottawa makes the rules, the provinces pay the majority of the costs and face unhappy citizens who want more than can be reasonably delivered. Since their election in 1995, the provincial Tories, first under Mike Harris, now under Ernie Eves, have struggled to deal with this funding dilemma. Yes, Mr. Harris and Mr. Eves have complained to Prime Minis- ter Jean Chretien more money is needed - in that they have been no different than nine other provinces and three territories. That combined effort and a push from the Romanow Report on Health Care has re- sulted in a slight funding increase from the feds. But problems still persist and the Province has to deal with them. The Tories have boosted funding to the point where health care eats up $28 billion per year, nearly half the provincial budget. Work has been done, through the Health Services Restructuring Commission, to maximize hospital bed spaces and make every dollar count. Here in Durham, the health care concerns are clear. Nearly every city and town is underserviced when it comes to family doctors. There will be a growing need for larger hospitals and more health services as Durham gets bigger and older. The demand on bud- gets will not cease and new equipment will always be on the agenda for Lakeridge Health and Rouge Valley administrators. The key thing voters will have to ask themselves is which party they trust to be able to deliver the health care services they need. Which leader will be able to deal with soon-to-be prime minister Paul Martin on an equal basis to get the health care funding required by the provinces? Health care will never be easy to deliver on a first- class basis no matter which party is in power in On- tario. But, given the performance by Health Minister Tony Clement during the recent SARS crisis and the commitment shown by Premier Ernie Eves, voters may be reluctant to turn over the responsibility to anyone else on Oct. 2. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 17, 2003 PAGE A7 P Free Teen Street Jam Diana Princess of Wales Youth Park Thursday Sept. 18th 4 to 8 pm (behind the Rec Complex) Free Bus Shuttle Call 905.420.6588 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL DATE MEETING TIME September 22 Finance & Operations Committee 1:30 pm September 24 Committee of Adjustment 7:00 pm September 29 Management Meeting All Day All meetings are open to the public.

We will pass a Commitment to Medicare Act that will make universal, public medicare the law in Ontario. Under our plan two-tier medicare will be illegal in On- tario. 2. We will expand MRI and CT services in the public system to provide better access for everyone. 3. We will take pressure off our hospitals so you will not have to wait long hours in overcrowded emergency rooms for neces- sary care. 4. We will ensure there are more family doctors in communities across Ontario. We will remove barriers preventing well-quali- fied foreign-trained physicians from prac- tising in Ontario. 5. We will help under-serviced communities attract and retain doctors and health care professionals. 6. We will expand protection for Ontarians who use non-traditional medicine. NNeeww DDeemmooccrraattiicc PPaarrttyy 1. We will fight to make sure the Liberals in Ottawa pay their fair share and guarantee every health-care dollar goes to patients, not profits or tax cuts. 2. We will cancel the expansion of private, for-profit diagnostic MRI and CT ‘scans for cash’ and redirect the funding to public health care for better care at less cost. 3. We will attract and keep our health pro- fessionals by reducing medical tuition, cre- ating more full-time nursing and nurse practitioner positions and creating more nurse-friendly environments. 4. We will act quickly for fairness and to re- lieve the doctor shortage by streamlining the training and accreditation of qualified internationally-trained physicians. 5. We will guarantee accountability with a Health Care Standards Commissioner, Pa- tients’ Bill of Rights and whistleblower pro- tection. 6. We will get back to the job of helping people maintain their health in the first place - not just treating the sick - by intro- ducing and ambitious preventive health plan, including a comprehensive tobacco- control strategy. GGrreeeenn PPaarrttyy 1. The Green Party believes that the best way to create a healthy society is through a healthy lifestyle. This philosophy of disease prevention and health maintenance would reduce the need for treating preventable diseases, which is presently very costly. Also, by making our environment and com- munities healthier places in which to live and work, we will see a reduction in many diseases. 2. Our current health care system concen- trates on treatment, rather than preven- tion, of disease. This approach allows un- necessary suffering to occur. Treatments often only partially alleviate suffering, and often cause harm themselves. 3. Health care is focused on expensive high-technology machines rather than on people. This faulty focus away from person- al responsibility for our own health is sym- bolized by the name of the provincial insur- ance plan that pays the fees of medical doctors, the costs of expensive diagnostic and surgical equipment, of hospitals and their staff, almost entirely for disease care and almost nothing for health promotion. It is the policy of the Green Party of Ontario that the name of the Ontario health care in- surance plan shall be changed from “On- tario Hospital Insurance Plan” (OHIP) to the “Ontario Health Insurance Plan” (OHIP).

BByy CCrryyssttaall CCrriimmii Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge Riding provincial candi- dates agree health care is important, but have different ideas on how it can be improved. Private/public hospital funding partnerships, more community health clinics, doctors, nurses, and fewer prescriptions, are on the ‘if elected Oct. 2’ list for Progressive Conservative, New Democratic, Lib- eral, and The Green Party candi- dates. “We’re continuing to increase in- vestments in healthcare,” says Pro- gressive Conservative incumbent, Janet Ecker. “We’ve increased healthcare spending by $10 billion province-wide and we’re continuing to increase health resources.” She wants to see the Ajax-Picker- ing hospital expansion completed, Uxbridge hospital rebuilt, and more doctors and nurses hired. If re-elected she says her party will bring in 650 new physicians across Ontario over the next several years to address under-serviced communi- ties, such as Uxbridge. She adds they’ll also focus on reducing waiting lists for high priority surgeries. Not on the to do list for the PC party is changing the funding ratio for hospital expansion. Without com- munity partnerships, expansions currently underway would be unable to complete, she says. Partnerships have allowed building, Ms. Ecker adds, and one of her priorities is to rebuild Lakeridge Health Uxbridge. They’re also looking at a private- public partnership for Uxbridge. The hospital would be built by the private sector. “You would continue to get health care service from a doctor or nurse just like you always do,” Ms. Ecker explains. “But people, for example, who would be experts in building a building, would actually build a building or manage the building but the health care is still run and man- aged by health care professionals as it should be.... OHIP would continue to pay like it always does.” Vern Edwards of the New Democ- ratic Party says partnerships with the private sector are the wrong way to go. “We need to look at properly fund- ing our health care system which has been undermined,” says Mr. Ed- wards. “This move the current gov- ernment has gone toward called P3 - public, private, partnerships is simi- lar to what they do in Britain which has been a complete disaster...that’s something basically we would re- verse.” To get a good return, he predicts, the private sector will cut corners in quality health care. “People’s illnesses should not be a for profit business,” Mr. Edwards adds. His party intends to provide more funding, not just for hospitals, but community health clinics as well. Keeping hospitals publicly run with public accountability is impor- tant to Liberal candidate Wayne Arthurs as well. “We’re certainly committed to making (healthcare) a financial pri- ority,” says Mr. Arthurs. “Replacing, increasing, the health care staff of nurses and doctors in the system and keeping it as public health care sys- tem instead of allowing the creeping privatization to work its way into the system.” The Liberals’ financial plan has been reviewed by senior economists, who Mr. Arthurs says find it doable if current revenue streams and modest growth prevail. He suspects his party will also re- visit the current funding ratio for hospital expansion. “There’s a commitment over a pe- riod of time to very significant dollars with the hospital system and I think certainly Rouge Valley and Lak- eridge (Uxbridge) will be two of those,” Mr. Arthurs says. Green Party candidate Adam Dun- can says they will not likely provide additional funding to health care, but do some shuffling in how money is spent. “We would increase funding for holistic practices because it has been proven they work,” says Mr. Duncan. “We would improve homecare and homecare options at a lower cost and increase the number of public health care nurses and things like that. At the same time I do not believe we would increase health funding...we’ll save money in other ways, less treat- ment, more prevention.” The Green Party would also look into Pharmacare where the Province would pay for prescriptions and put more restrictions on receiving drugs. Mr. Duncan says the Green Party will not look into private sector health care. “The public system is the way to go,” he says. “We are sort of against the public-private partnership. We believe everybody should be empow- ered to access the same health care - you shouldn’t get better health care if you’re rich.” Wayne Arthurs Adam Duncan Janet Ecker Vern Edwards Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge Riding BByy JJaannee MMccDDoonnaalldd Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Readers of local history formed a line so long last Sunday, it snaked out the door of the Claring- ton Beech Centre in Bowmanville. The excitement centred on the launch of ‘Word of Honour - Camp 30,’ the story about the prisoner of war camp located in Bowmanville during the Second World War. “We’re hoping the book will save the Camp,” says Port Perry writer Lynn Philip Hodgson who spent a year researching and writing ‘Word of Honour’ with co-author Alan Long- field of Whitby. Filled with 60-year- old photographs and documents, the place where history was made has an interesting past. Built in the mid-1920s off Lambs Road in the east part of town, the substantial brick and stucco build- ings once made up the Home for Del- iquent Boys. Perhaps best known lo- cally as Pine Ridge School, St. Stephen’s or simply, the Bowmanville Training School, the farmland held German officers from 1941 to 1945. In recent years it was a campus for Great Lakes College of Toronto, a prep school for Asian students ages 16 to 21 which operated on the 110- acre site. But the future takes a backseat to the past in ‘Word of Honour,’ dedi- cated to two men who signed copies at the Sept. 7 book launch. Bruno Pe- trenko and Volkmar Konig spent years at Camp 30 as prisoners, two of the 800 PoWs interned in Bow- manville, and two of some 40,000 Ger- man PoWs held in camps across Canada. The civility of the wartime relationship between the Canadians who guarded them and the German officers is still much in evidence today. Both men say they were treat- ed well here. Few tried to escape, but one of the most fascinating stories - and there are many, such as the ‘Bat- tle of Bowmanville’ which gave the local camp the distinction of being the only PoW camp in Canada where shots were fired - concerns elaborate plans to spirit a high-ranking officer out of Bowmanville and back to Ger- many. If senior naval officer Korvet- tenkapitän z.S. Otto Kretschmer, a top U-boat ace of the war could es- cape, it would be a coup for the Re- ichsmarine and the German cause. ‘Operation Kiebitz’ was quietly under way with secret plans and communications that included a short-wave radio set the PoWs had built and the digging of the initial es- cape route of the day - tunnels. Mr. Konig, 82, remembers how the radio was hidden. “It was on the first floor of Building 2, hidden in an arm- chair,” he recalls during his visit to the Camp last Sunday. “We made a tunnel to get Kretschmer out to a sub in New Brunswick. The sub was under way.” The German officers were guarded by veterans of the First World War who were too old for overseas service. They foiled the plan when the tun- nels were discovered just days before the escape was to take place. At 86 years of age, Mr. Petrenko has lived enough historical events to fill many books. Born in Russia in 1917, he was not yet three-years-old when his mother was shot and killed by Communist troops. He and his re- maining family then became refugees in East Germany where he was con- scripted for military service when he came of age. When Germany de- clared war on most of the world in 1939, young Bruno Petrenko was forced to continue his service and eventually was selected for officer and then pilot training. Flying a 109 Messerschmitt on his first combat mission during the Bat- tle of Britain, he remembers British Hurricanes and Spitfires coming after the German bombers it was his job to protect. He was hit. “I dived down and my engine did- n’t work and so I didn’t have power anymore,” says Mr. Petrenko. “So I had no chance to go home. My only chance was to crash land which I tried to do.” When he was found in the English countryside, he was hanging upside down from inside his crumpled plane, unconscious. “I found out in detail many years later that a man named John Clancey found my crashed plane. He managed to get me out and attended to me. I had a head injury and was bleeding. When he washed my face, I became conscious and was a PoW from that moment.” In retrospect, Mr. Petrenko says becoming a prisoner was the best thing that could have happened to him. He knows now getting out of the war saved his life and he says his time in Bowmanville was spent plan- ning a career so he could one day come back to Canada to live. Now retired from the presidency of a successful business he founded in Toronto, he says he doesn’t think too much about the war. There is one book, though, which he says has had a great influence on him. Durham PoW camp revealed in book Volkmar Konig holds a photograph taken during the Second World War. He stands in the same spot where the photo was taken. The property served as a Prisoner of War Camp. A.J.

The German couple ar- rived in New York City on Aug ust 17 and started a three-week journey that saw them cover over 2,000 kilometres. It ended at cousin Dieter Vollbrecht’s house on Spruce Hill Road, where they took a break before returning to Berlin. “We started in New York City and then we go the (northeastern U.S.) coast- line to (Maine’s) Acadia National Park, and then to the White Mountains, Mount Washington,” Har- ald, 47 said matter-of-fact- ly in an interview. “From there we go a straight line to Lake Ontario, the south coast, Niagara Falls and then Toronto.” On “some lazy days,” Harald said he and Regi- na, 26, who is blind, trav- elled 80 or 90 kilometres, however most days they logged about 130 clicks. “We wake up at six o’- clock and we start at seven o’clock or eight,” he said. As you might have guessed, the couple are quite athletic and into sports such as the triathlon. And it’s not their first bike trip: two years ago they spent 13-weeks cy- cling around New Zealand, where they were married. Harald said they do it be- cause it’s fun. When they return to Germany today, Regina will gear up for the 10-kilo- mtre European champi- onship run for blind peo- ple in Verona, Italy. Dieter Vollbrecht is no longer surprised at how much ground his cousin can cover on two wheels, recalling an earlier, solo trip. “I was amazed when he arrived here from Los An- geles; that’s a long trip over the mountains,” he said. “Since then I just say, ya, ya, ya.” A/P PAGE A10 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 17, 2003 www.durhamregion.com HUGE SELECTION HUGE SHOWROOM 1020 BROCK RD.

The Durham Family YMCA is now accepting nominations for the 2003 YMCA Peace Medallion Award. This award recognizes those who have shown a commitment to peace through personal contributions to their community. The cere- mony will take place at the Durham Family YMCA on Nov. 17. Each year, the YMCA awards medallions to peacemakers in different communities across the GTA. The selection com- mittee consists of community members and YMCA staff cho- sen to represent a variety of in- terests, experiences and ages. Locally, the committee is seeking individuals who find peaceful solutions to any form of violence and injustice, who volunteer quietly without any special recognition to create a culture of peace and who create peaceful environments in their community. The award symbolizes the YMCA World Statement of Peace issued in 1981: “In the midst of increased conflict, vio- lence and confrontation, we must seek possibilities to be peacemakers. The responsibili- ty for peace begins with each person, in relationship with family and friends and extends to community life and national activities.” To receive a nomination form, drop by the Durham Family YMCA, 99 Mary St., N., Oshawa or contact Heather Stevenson at 905-438 0822 ext. 410 or send an e-mail: to heather.stevenson@ymca.net.

Sports Briefs SEPTEMBER 17, 2003 Homecoming for a champ Felicien’s gold-medal fe at celebrated on Sept. 27 PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——A month after her historic win at the 2003 IAAF World Track and Field Championships at St-Denis, France, Perdita Felicien is coming home. The reigning gold medallist in the women's 100-metre hurdles will be feted with a celebration by the City of Pickering in recognition of her achievements at a ceremony. The homecoming will be part of the Pick- ering Recreation Complex's 20th an- niversary celebrations on Saturday, Sept. 27. The date marks her first time back in Pickering following her stun- ning victory at the world champi- onships. Following the champi- onships, she returned to school at the University of Illinois is Cham- paign, Illinois where she's studying kinesiology. According to Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs, plans for the cele- bration are ongoing and will be final- ized and released shortly. "We are proud of Perdita and look forward to welcoming her home," says Arthurs in a press release. "There will be an opportunity for the community to greet Perdita and be part of the exciting event as Picker- ing welcomes its hometown hero. "Perdita is a role model to all -- her dedication, perseverance and lead- ership qualities make her the world champion she is." On Aug. 27, the 23-year-old Picker- ing Olympian made her mark on in- ternational track and field after win- ning the 100-metre hurdles final in a speedy 12.53 seconds, ahead of silver medallist Brigitte Foster of Jamaica in 12.57 seconds and American Miesha McKelvy, the bronze medal- list, in 12.67. Her clocking of 12.53 seconds was not only a personal best, but also es- tablished a new Canadian record, soundly beating the former record of 12 .61 seconds, set in 1999 by Katie Anderson. It's been a whirlwind competitive season for Felicien, as everything she has touched has turned to gold in 2003. In addition to her world domination in her event this year, she also put up numerous other out- standing performances on the track. Among her accomplishments: • Won the 'B' event at the Weltklasse Zurich Golden League Meet, one of the biggest meets in the internation- al track and field circuit, in August. She bettered her previous personal best at the Swiss meet, winning in 12.67 seconds; • Captured the silver medal at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in Aug ust. She was second in a time of 12.70 seconds, three-hundredths of a second behind gold medallist Brigitte Foster of Jamaica; • Won her second consecutive NCAA Division 1 100-metre hurdles title at the 2003 National Collegiate Athletic Association Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramen- to, California in June. Her back-to- back outdoor hurdles titles made her just the second athlete in Illinois track history to accomplish the feat. In fact, she's one of only three U.S. collegiate hurdlers ever to win the event in consecutive championships. In the semifinal race at the NCAA championship, the University of Illi- nois senior ran to first place in 12.68 seconds, which tied the Big Ten Conference record, established a new NCAA meet record and was her new personal best time at that time; • Named national track and field fe- male athlete of the year for a second time and a Verizon academic all- American in her collegiate career; The best, however, may be re- served for 2004 when she's expected to run for Canada at the 2004 Sum- mer Olympic Games in Athens. It's something she's looking infinitely forward to. "To be 22 and have this happen and know that I'm not even at my peak makes me look forward to what the next three years will bring," she said following her gold-medal victo- ry. Felicien couldn't be reached for comment.

Panthers penalized profusely in opening weekend Winder prefers a more disciplined approach, but still satisfied with split of games BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——Undisciplined play didn't mar the Pickering Boyer Ponti- ac Panthers' overall solid weekend to open the junior hockey season, but it's something that needs to be ad- dressed -- the sooner, the better. So says head coach John Winder, who's somewhat concerned with the Panthers' penchant for penalties in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior 'A' Hockey League games against the Huntsville Wild- cats and Aurora Tigers last weekend. The Panthers emerged from the weekend with a split, earning an 8-3 victory on the road in the reg- ular-season opener in Huntsville Fri- day night. The loss came at the hands of the powerhouse Aurora Tigers 6-2 in the Panthers' home opener at the Picker- ing Recreation Complex Sunday evening. The common denominator in these games, says Winder, was the Panthers' inability to stay away from penalties. Pickering chalked up 36 minutes against Huntsville, includ- ing two major penalties and two game misconducts. Against Aurora, the Panthers were whistled for 48 minutes in infractions, including five misconducts and two game miscon- ducts. Mo reover, the Pickering juniors gave up three power-play goals to Huntsville Friday. On Sunday, the Aurora Tigers struck for two goals while enjoying the man advantage. It's a trend that Winder very much wants to see improved in the coming games. "It's early in the year, and we still have a lot of work to do. We want them to play disciplined hockey and we're not there yet," he says. (Disci- plined play) "wasn't happening with the penalties we were taking. I'm not happy at all. We can't keep taking penalties. Down the road, we're going to have to play with more discipline." The split, however, was a goal for the Panthers coming into the open- ing weekend of league play, says Winder. "We knew that when we went up there, we could play even with Huntsville and we did. Coming back, we knew Aurora would be tough and they were. We were hoping for the split and that's what we got," he says. The highlight of the weekend of Winder was his young team's ability to skate with an older and more ex- perienced Aurora roster. "A urora is a top team and we skat- ed with them when we played even. I really liked that. After the game, Marty Williamson (the Aurora head coach), told me 'you've got a nice skating team,'" says Winder. All the scoring in Sunday's game was done in the first two periods, with Aurora opening up a 3-1 lead in the first, and adding three more goals to Pickering's one in the middle stan- za. Pickering fired only 19 shots on the Aurora net, while the Tigers pep- pered Pickering netminders Jonathan Keating and Devin Rama- sawmy with 44 shots. Bryan Hampton, on the power play, and Derek Lynden, shorthand- ed, scored for Pickering against Au- rora.

Pickering added four more goals in the third period to seal the win. Andrew Dissanayake led the way with two goals against the Wildcats. Danny Sullivan, John Scrymgeour, Craig Johnston, Kyle Robinson, Derek Lynden and Richard Schofield added single markers. Drawing assist were Robinson and Johnston each with three, Dissanayake with two, Je- remy Whelan, Phil McIlhone, Keating, James Roseborough, Schofield, Hampton and Jon Man with one apiece.

GRAND OPENING September 19 905-426-4653 Telus Lightning looking fo rward to better times National Women’s Hockey League team hopes to put winless season in the rearview mirror BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor DDUURRHHAAMM —— After suffering through an 'annis horribilis' of the first order a season ago, the Durham Telus Lightning is expecting the ice chips to fall their way for 2003-04. Rather than striking down other teams, the Telus team itself was Lightning-struck last season, big time. The National Women's Hockey League team went the entire 2002- 03 campaign without a victory, end- ing the season with a tie and an overtime loss (for a total of two points) to show for 36 games. The Durham Telus Lightning kicked off the NWHL regular season against the Brampton Thunder at the Ajax Community Centre Tues- day, with the result unavailable at press time. Returning Telus Lightning head coach Peter Perram says the team's roster has been revamped signifi- cantly from last season, and a far- reaching and aggressive recruit- ment program yielding a number of new players, including six former collegiate players from the U.S., in an attempt to shake away the dol- drums of a season ago. "We're pretty excited," says Per- ram. "This is really the first time that we've recruited and picked the players we want. We invited a num- ber of players who would make a good fit with our club. I think we re- ally struck on a complete redesign. I think we wanted to have a different dynamic. We wanted to be charac- teristically different." The key to the team's improved prospects for 2003-04, however, could very well be a player in the Lightning's own backyard. The sav- iour comes in the form of diminutive centre Ashley Riggs. The five-foot, three-inch forward who tried out -- and made -- the national women's under-22 squad, has elected to forego attending the St. Cloud State University in Minnesota for the time being, instead opting to return to St. Mary Catholic Secondary School and play with the Telus Lightning and the national squad. Suffice it to say, Perram is over the moon with Riggs's addition to the roster. "She's poetry in motion; she just f loats over the ice," gushed Perram. "She's a talent that I would have no problem saying will play for the na- tional team one day. "It's not a likely situation for a first-time attendee of the under-22 national team camp to make the team. She continued to impress and made the big club." Perram noted the addition of Riggs marked a major shift in the team's thinking regarding its per- sonnel. Whereas last year, the Light- ning wanted bigger, aggressive for- wards, the squad has now opted for quicker, albeit smaller, players up front. "We made a conscious decision that we wanted to get speedier and we're now a much faster team this year. We expect to be a lot more ex- citing and offensively, we should be right there." But, Riggs is not the only addi- tion. In fact, the team added 10 new players this year, with only six re- turnees from last year's crew. One of the newcomers expected to be a major contributor is Joanne Eu- stace. A Newfoundlander, Eustace played NCAA Division 1 hockey with the University of Minnesota at Duluth. She has also spent the past two years on the Canadian national under-22 team. Perram says Riggs and Eustace will play together on the team's top offensive unit this year, along with winger Brenda Reynolds, a return- ing player from last season. "These players will have a lot of f lash -- a lot of flash and dash," says Perram of his top forward unit. "They'll be fun to watch if nothing else." On defence, returning rearguards Christianne Tremills, Nikki Leone and Jennifer Kearney will be count- ed on to show the way for newcom- ers Melanie Roach, Jennifer Scott and Nathalie Urick. Goaltending -- which was the Lightning's strong suit through a dismal 2002-03 season - is expected to be solid once again this season with the returning tandem of Mandy Cronin and Jennifer Piitz. The Lightning has also added Melanie Quinn, who'll play for York Universi- ty, as a part-time netminder. "She will help us when needed," says Perram. Perram won't make any lofty pre- dictions regarding the coming sea- son. He does, however, guarantee that this year's Telus Lightning in- carnation will be competitive. "We're definitely a team that can play at this level. I'm not sure that the team last year could play at this level consistently."

Ajax group meets monthly to share craft BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer AAJJAAXX —— Jayne Nevins says she's "the new kid"- not on the block but at the helm of the Ajax Rug Hookers. The incoming president of the group, around for almost 20 years, says she's been a member for only three years, joking that no one else would take over the presidency. Rug hooking has been around for a long time, she says, noting families used to use old fabric, clothing or whatever material they had to create rugs. "It's like oriental and Persian rugs that you see, except it's done by hand," Ms. Nevins explains. "It's not latch hooking." She started six years ago when she saw a co-worker doing it and was, er, hooked, noting it's a craft that allows a person to multi-task. "I just love it," says Ms. Nevins. "You can watch TV and you can be hook- ing. You immerse yourself in it and it's relaxing." The group has done a number of joint projects, where members to- gether create pieces, including a rug for the children's wing at the Rouge Valley Health, Ajax and Pickering hospital. The rug hookers created a replica of a 19th century rug for the Pickering Museum Village, since the original was deteriorating and had to be protected. As well, they made rugs for the new Main Branch of the Ajax Public Library. The group has four trained in- structors eligible to give lessons, and has welcomed clubs from as far away as Kingston and Gravenhurst to Hook Ins, where a number of clubs get together. The next one is slated for May 2004. The Ajax Rug Hookers meet on the first Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the St. Andrew's Community Centre, at 46 Exeter Rd. in Ajax, for talk and to learn new things. "We welcome anyone who's inter- ested, come on out to one of our Mon- day sessions," says Ms. Nevins.

Fresh fish, fresh cut fries, the right batter and a precise cooking time are all necessary ingredients for the best-tasting fish and chips recipe. “We only use Alaskan halibut and Greenland haddock,” says Mr. Wang. “We insist on it because we want to offer our customers the best fish.” As well, the Balmoral fillets its fish and slices its PEI potatoes up daily. “We never cut them ahead of time, only on the day that it is served. That’s why our fish and chips are always fresh.” Also, their batter recipe is very thin, which results in a crispy, not greasy piece of fish. Of course, it also helps that Mr. Wang is a very experienced cook when it comes to preparing fish and chips. He was trained by the National Federation of Fish Fryers and has eight years of experience frying up fish and chips. He’s also the owner of McCowan Fish and Chips in Scarborough, a restaurant that received the Scarborough Mirror’s 2003 Readers’ Choice Gold Award for Best Fish and Chips. The Balmoral also offers the lowest prices for fish dinners in the Durham Region. A fish and chips dinner is $8.70, served with Scottish bread and a choice of pickled beets, coleslaw or mushy peas, or $7 a la carte. There’s also shrimp, scallops or chicken fingers on the menu. If you love the taste of Scottish food, Balmoral Fish and Chips also offers a selection of this traditional fare. When you feel like dining at home or are in a rush, The Balmoral has a take-out menu for your convenience; a halibut fish and chips meal is $6 for take-out. Visit the Balmoral Fish and Chips Restaurant at 71 Station Street in Ajax or call 905-427-9123 for more information.

If you get sick unexpectedly or have an accident while you are away, the health services in other countries are generally much more costly than those which OHIP covers. When buying your insurance however, it is important to take all the time need- ed to fully understand the coverage as well as the limitations of the pol- icy. Be sure to determine your own needs first, say industry specialists, then read the policy thoroughly to be sure those needs are covered. The Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) reminds the travelling consumer that it is not enough to simply buy travel health insurance; travellers must also know how the policy works and how to use it. FSCO is an agency of the Ministry of Finance that regulates Ontario’s insurance industry. Its suggestions in this regard are based on records of what went wrong for others. It is important for example, to compare the policies offered by dif- ferent companies, not just for price, but also for the amount of coverage, pre-existing conditions, de- ductibles, limitations and exclu- sions. Your health, age, the medica- tion you take, the length of your trip and the destination are all factors that affect the price of a policy and the types of medical costs your in- surer will cover. In some cases you may have to find an insurer willing to write a policy tailored to your cir- cumstances. To better compare each policy be- fore purchase, take a look at the Travel Health Insurance Policy Checklist, posted on the FSCO Web site. Here’s a sample: • Compare the maximum each poli- cy will pay above Ontario health plan limits. • Look for age limits or medical cri- teria that might apply to you. • Compare how the policies define terms such as pre-existing condi- tion, or a medical exclusion. Do they affect your coverage? • Compare deductibles and/or co- payment clauses to understand your own obligation. • Compare payment procedures. Do you pay for the medical services first, followed by a reimbursement, or is the payment made directly from the insurer to the facility? Don’t forget, says FSCO, you may already have sufficient coverage from your credit card company or employee benefits plan. Don’t buy more insurance if you are covered. Additional information on this sub- ject is available online at www.fsco.gov.on.ca. — News Canada Tr av ellers: Make your health policy work for you TTrraavveell WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ Yo u’ve had your last ‘Is that all there is’ vacation. After all the work, planning, money, arrangements and maybe even family feuds, you finally did the big holiday. But then, it was all over, you came home with bags of dirty laundry, souvenirs that don’t quite fit your decor, feeling a little too fat, and deep down inside thinking, ‘So is that it? Was it all worth it? Maybe a good video on Greece and a nice bottle of wine would have been more relaxing.’ So what gives? In A. DeBotton’s ‘The Art of Travel’ he says, “Aside from love, few activities seem to promise us as much happiness as going travelling, taking off for some- where else, somewhere far from home.” Maybe this is the time for a real adventure, a journey of the heart, and a holiday with a purpose. Trav- el experts are finding that people, especially the over-indulged 20- somethings, want to take a trip and make a difference all at the same time. International organizations are responding to this reality by provid- ing “get your hands dirty, live with the people and off-the-beaten path holidays.” Yes, you might come home with your knees scraped, sun- burn rather than a tan, and 10 pounds thinner, but you’ll know your time was well-spent. A few examples of organizations that provide these kinds of adven- tures are Habitat for Humanity (go and build a home for a homeless family in South America), www.habitat.org or www.Samari- tanspurse.org or Spirit of Africa Sa- faris (see what dynamic young African leaders are doing to change their continent) www.negstusa.com, click ‘safaris,’ or teach English to Chinese kids at a summer camp in China, www.volunteerabroad.com. Canadians are known interna- tionally as generous people. Check with government offices for other ways to travel with a purpose.

RGT Registry offers new method of lessons PICKERING —A local musician is one of a handful of guitar teachers introducing a new concept in the tried-and-true format of lessons stu- dents in Ontario have received for decades. Michael J. Miller says a United Kingdom-based organization, the Registry of Guitar Tutors (RGT), allows students to earn levels of achievement that may soon be rec- ognized as music credits toward an Ontario high school diploma or even a university degree, similar to grades earned through the Royal Conservatory of Music in other dis- ciplines of music. "It means parents can actually see their child earning levels and moni- tor results," of the lessons they are taking, says Miller. The program began in England and is widely used and accepted there and in other parts of Europe and China, he says, noting a couple of years ago it moved into western Canada and has already been ac- credited from British Columbia to Manitoba. "It's recognized around the world," says Miller. The Ontario government is still weighing in on a decision as to whether or not to accredit the pro- gram, he says. But in the meantime, students can take their RGT results to their local school board and chal- lenge for a high school credit, he says. More importantly, Miller says, the program will give guitar students, including those on electric guitar, the formal recognition for their abil- ity that was previously only avail- able to those who studied classical guitar. If the program becomes widely adopted here, it would standardize lessons from teacher to teacher so students who move from one in- structor to another would have a specific starting point and charted path to continue. Students are tested each year by a certified examiner using examina- tions validated through the London College of Music and Thames Valley University, says Miller. The range of exams spans from preliminary levels to Grade 8. Cer- tificates are awarded through the London College of Music. Guitar teachers already instruct- ing have the ability to become RGT accredited by taking exams through the organization, says Miller and they can be registered at three dif- ferent levels depending on their own ability and can work toward upgrad- ing their level of proficiency. Miller says the structure of the lessons are different from those tra- ditionally taught during guitar in- struction. "The material is very different. It teaches a student a practical way of using the instrument," he says. Be- ginning with the C scale, students are taught from the beginning not only how to play the instrument but write music and "play with it," he says. Anyone students or teachers in- terested in more information on the program can reach Miller at 905-428- 7604.
