The event, to be held in the Har- wood Point Memorial Gardens, Ajax, was originally scheduled for 11 a.m. today but organizers felt it was best to postpone the ceremo- ny, which was to include a para- chute jump by the Canadian Fo r ces Sky Hawks and a fly-past of Second World War aircraft. The new date is Friday, Sept. 26 at 10 a.m. The event is being held to raise awareness that donations are still needed for the Juno Beach Centre in France, an institution dedicated to the Canadian Second World War effort. The centre opened in June. Regional Chairman Roger An- derson said Durham is challenging other Canadian municipalities to purchase a commemorative brick to be displayed at the centre.

Hockey father faces assault charge Parents call police to Pickering arena BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — A hockey dad has been charged with assault following an incident with his 10- year-old daughter while berat- ing her about her performance at a Pickering Minor Hockey Tournament on the weekend. Durham Regional Police re- ceived a call Saturday around 5 p.m. “about a man going crazy on his daughter” after a game between teams from Windsor and Toronto at Don Beer Arena, said police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik. “There is an allegation this guy, a 38-year-old Windsor man followed his daughter as she was coming off the ice,” he said. “He followed her down the hall, yelling at her about how bad she was playing hockey. “He had her by the face mask and was moving her head from side to side,” Sgt. Malik added. “It disturbed parents enough for them to call police. One of the coaches had to pull him off the girl.” When police found him at the arena after the incident, Sgt. Malik said the man had calmed down and was co-operating with officers. He was charged with one New date for Juno Beach ceremony ✦ See HOCKEY, page 5 * Plumbing Mart Since 1959 Celebrating 45 Years!

OR Do Not Pay For One Full Year NO INTEREST NO PAYMENTS * Tories assailed for policies toward poor BByy JJeerreemmyy LLee PPaaggee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ——There was standing room only, with comments such as “Kids can’t vote” and “We’re hurting our children,” filling the room. A father - in the middle of Wednes- day’s Children’s Aid Society all-can- didates debate in Whitby - asked why it recently took his daughter five hours in emergency to be treated for a broken leg. Another asked why troubled and mentally challenged youth are slipping through the cracks, and why housing costs are eclipsing a low-income family’s need to buy food and clothing for their youngsters. Our children are being harmed by government cutbacks, say children’s aid workers. “When you take off rent controls... you have a crisis on your hands,” said NDP Oshawa candidate Sid Ryan. “We have to get back into co-op hous- ing. We have to look after everyone, not just the wealthy.” In Durham, 3,500 families are cur- rently on a waiting list for affordable housing. Some single mothers, flee- ing abusive relationships, are waiting up to 12 months to receive shelter. Whitby-Ajax Liberal candidate Dennis Fox spoke out for the rights of low-income families. “If you ne- glect people, you neglect kids, you damage them forever.” Seven provincial candidates at- tended the debate at Whitby’s town hall, including three NDP candi- dates, two Liberal, one Conservative and one Family Coalition member. Durham MPP John O’Toole was clearly on the defensive before a crowd demanding more funding for children’s programs and organiza- tions. However, he insisted in order to redistribute wealth, wealth must be created by a strong economy. Dan Edwards, NDP candidate for Whitby-Ajax, says improving the ed- ucation system is crucial to the wel- fare of children. A “proactive” ap- proach is needed to help young, im- pressionable students, he explains, rather than trying to fix the prob- lems after they occur. He blames lack of funding for an inefficient educa- tional system. “I was under the impression we lived in a society where our schools were funded by the government. But that doesn’t seem to be the case,” he said. Mr. O’Toole said it is up to the fed- eral government to help fund chil- dren’s programs as well as the province. “(But) there’s no govern- ment in the world that has got it per- fectly right,” he said, adding a better co-ordination between children’s aid groups is needed in Ontario and Durham. Wayne Arthurs, Liberal candidate for Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge, said he doesn’t have all the answers to keep the Children’s Aid Society afloat fi- nancially, but commented, “There’s a drastic need for funding at all levels.” Mr. Arthurs, as well as Durham NDP candidate Teresa Williams, said a higher minimum wage is needed in the Province to help low-income fam- ilies. Their parties are promising a hike to $8-per hour, although they admit it takes $12.61-per-hour to reach the poverty line. Dale Chilvers, Oshawa Family Coalition candidate, said the key to improving the lives of children is keeping parents together. “Strong family ties are beneficial economical- ly and socially,” he said. James Dubray, director of CAS Durham, added, “Kids don’t vote, but they are an integral part of what happens in our communities... A lot of families are hurting. There’s a lot of hurting in Durham because of cut- backs,” he said.

He is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 14 at 850 King St. W. in Oshawa. The man has since moved away from his family and is living in Windsor. “They had recently moved from California to Windsor to take advan- tage of a better calibre of hockey,” added Sgt. Malik. The Windsor Minor Hockey Asso- ciation has banned the man from attending its games and events and meets this Wednesday to decide any further action. Asked if such an incident is a stain on the sport, Ben Craig, coor- dinator of prevention services at the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) said he felt most people would hold the parent responsible, not the game. “We have 110,000 hockey players and 280,000 parents in our system, add all the coaches and trainers and we have close to half a million peo- ple in our organization,” he said. “With that kind of demographic, it does happen.” The OMHA tries to educate par- ents, players and coaching staff about appropriate behaviour at the rink, Mr. Craig said. It recently com- pleted 400 clinics across the Province as part of Hockey Cana- da’s ‘Speak Out’ program. Canadian minor hockey is far ahead of hockey associations in the United States in this regard, he said. “We’re starting to see a reduction in many cases of the silent majority simply watching the vocal distrac- tion of some parents,” Mr. Craig added. “They’re starting to speak up and say they don’t want it in the game.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 19, 2003 PAGE 5 P HELLO AJAX!!!

Residents advised to prepare for hurricane as a precaution PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — The City is bracing for Hurricane Isabel this weekend and asking resi- dents to do the same at home. Pickering has established a special emergency response plan to deal with high winds and flooding in low lying areas caused by storms expected to strike Southern Ontario late Friday or early Saturday. Residents spotting any blocked culverts or catch basins on public property can attempt to correct the prob- lems themselves, or report the matter to City staff by calling 905-683-4319. Homeowners should check their own backyards to ensure items will not become airborne during windy conditions, which could cause injuries, property damage or obstruct the flow of water. The Canadian Red Cross is- sued a similar alert to resi- dents this week, urging them to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and com- fort. “There is always the possibil- ity that we can experience an unexpected event such as the recent blackout,” said Louise Besner, acting disaster services manager for the Red Cross On- tario. Homeowners should have the following items on hand: water, food, a manual can opener, f lashlight, battery-operated radio, batteries and a first aid kid. Emergency response plans for homes, workplaces and schools are also recommended. The City of Pickering also has a detailed list of necessities on its Web site, www.cityofpick- ering.com under the ‘What’s New’ banner. For more infor- mation, contact the City’s Cus- tomer Care Centre at 905-420- 4666 or 905-683-7575 during nor- mal business hours. Pickering also has a 24-hour line at 905- 683-4319 available for informa- tion and reporting outside business hours. Homeowners can visit www.redcross.ca/dis- asterpreparedness for more in- formation on disaster mea- sures, or call the Durham office at 905-723-2933. Batten down the hatches Hockey association to meet Wednesday ✦ HHOOCCKKEEYY from page 1 An award-winning news team! Simmer down and check facts Is the issue safety or election fodder in latest OPG uproar? When news broke last week that Ontario Power Generation was looking at outsourcing its nuclear inspections and that one of the companies was even implicated in the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in 1979, some Pickering councillors were quick to press the panic button. Now the City is on record saying it doesn't want privatization of these services at the Pickering plant. Outsourcing is never popular but the question must be asked whether safety is really the issue. If the deal is approved, the inspection services would be han- dled by a consortium comprised of: Atomic Energy Canada Limited (AECL), a federal government owned corporation which specializes in research of CANDU technology and is cur- rently working on a next generation reactor; NNC Holdings Ltd., a British Company with experience across the globe in nuclear analysis and; Babcock and Wilcox (B&W), a century old energy corporation with more than 40 years of experience in the nuclear field employing more than 1,000 people in 90 countries worldwide. At the centre of the issue, raised by the Liberal party as part of the current provincial election debate, is the fact that B&W was implicated, though not blamed for the Three Mile Island accident. The report cited the main cause of that accident was operator error but said B&W, along with the other suppliers, did not provide adequate training, which may have been a con- tributing factor. The nuclear community is a small one and human expertise in short supply. B&W's work in the nuclear field has been extensive and their reputation today, not two decades ago, is what counts. Inspection privatization is not a new step for OPG. In Sept. 2002, Ron Osborne, CEO and President of OPG announced his company would follow the lead of British Petroleum, which was already using private inspectors for the Bruce plants. "We were one of the few nuclear operators to rely on in-house services for nuclear safety analysis and have concluded that it would be advantageous to combine forces with an established nuclear technology company that specializes in nuclear safety analysis services," Mr. Osborne said at the time. If this is really about a policy debate on privatization be- tween the Liberals and the Conservatives, it begs the question whether City councillors fell for political posturing rather than fully examining the merits of the issue. Further, it begs the question whether Mayor Wayne Arthurs should have declared a conflict of interest given his current status as a candidate for the Liberal party. No one wants to see safety compromised but neither do we want Durham residents to be the subjects of nuclear safety scare-mongering for the sake of election fuel. Politician should pick his spot TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Has there ever been a better example of why politicians and politics are held in such contempt by a lot of people these days than the actions of mayor/prospective MPP Wayne Arthurs. Now correct me if I am wrong but if someone has a well-paid position in any organization then surely their current employer is entitled to 100-per cent commitment whilst they are signing the paycheques? Perhaps Mr Arthurs thinks that as the people of Pickering have chosen him as their mayor for the past 15 years then nobody will notice while he sneaks off to try for greater fame and fortune at Queen's Park. The taxpayers of Pickering are paying for an employee that obviously thinks that the townsfolk are so naive that should his foray into provincial politics end in de- feat, he can come back with his tail be- tween his legs and settle once more into his big comfortable armchair at Picker- ing council. What arrogance and an in- sult to the public's intelligence. Mr Arthurs should have enough expe- rience to realize that running for public office has a risk involved. It's a one way ticket - not something that can be treat- ed with an attitude that everyone will just hang around and wait to see how he gets on before proceeding with the Town of Pickering's business. I would urge everyone who sees the name of Arthurs on a ballot sheet for whatever he is running for, be it provincial or mu- nicipal, ignore that name and cast their vote for a serious full time politician who knows, and more importantly is confident, of where he is going.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 19, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Every election, I read with fascination the rhetoric that comes from the mouths of the politicians. As I sat down to read Premier Ernie Eves's plan for the future, a sentence in the first paragraph caught my at- tention. One of the key commit- ments he makes in the fourth sen- tence is "protection for the vulner- able." That is very encouraging if he keeps to that promise if elect- ed. I have come to understand there is no more vulnerable per- son in our society than the unborn child. Even Canadian judges are reluctant to stop moms of unborn children from abusing their bodies through drugs and alcohol be- cause of the implications in giving rights to the unborn. It is distressing how the desire to keep a child determines his or her humanity in the womb. A child who is wanted is called a baby, but a child that is unwanted is given the description of fetus. Many would argue with me and say this issue is about choice of a woman, not the rights of a child that has- n't been born yet. Advocates of abortion wouldn't say that while they're personally in favour of slavery, they believe it is a private issue. Nor would they ever maintain that while they don't support child abuse, they re- spect it in the privacy of some- one's home. Many would argue the unborn is not yet a person. Yet size cannot be a factor. If size disqualifies the unborn from personhood, would- n't that mean that large people are more human than small ones? What about the argument of envi- ronment? When our environment changes, do we stop being us? What about the level of develop- ment? My four-year-old is less de- veloped than my 12-year-old nephew. Does he still qualify as a person? I hope this next govern- ment, whichever it turns out to be, will truly provide the protection the most vulnerable of our society - the unborn child - needs so des- perately.

All of the four hopefuls for Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge agree on one thing: more generation is needed in Ontario and con- servation is key. “We’re encouraging the use of alternative energy or green energy through a number of tax incentives and investments to increase the supply,” said Progressive Conservative (PC) candidate Janet Ecker. “Be- cause at the end of the day, af- fordable and reliable energy is part of what makes a good economy.” To increase generation, Ms. Ecker said her government an- nounced in its budget this year, plans to bring on new supply through the Portlands Energy Project in Toronto, the expan- sion of the Sir Adam Beck Tun- nel in Niagara, and the import- ing of energy from Manitoba. The Tories have also struck an electricity supply and con- servation task force headed by Minister of Energy John Baird to look at a long-term solution. In the meantime, the govern- ment plans to continue with its “price protection fund” for homes and small business until more supply is available, she said. “We’re also undergoing a re- view into the restart of Picker- ing A,” Ms. Ecker said, adding it’s been her long-standing po- sition the A reactors won’t come back on line until they are completely safe to do so. L iberal candidate Wayne Arthurs said his party sup- ports the Niagara project, along with bringing all four Pickering A reactors back on line. A new government, he said, needs to look at opportu- nities for alternative energy like the International Ther- monuclear Energy Research Project (ITER) as well as solu- tions for long-term storage. “Hydro cell technology has all kinds of promise in that re- gard,” he said. “It’s my under- standing that our limited abili- ty to store energy is also a problem.” Mr. Arthurs feels homeown- ers could benefit from a “time- of-use meter” tacked on to their regular hydro metres, which would allow residents to track how much power they are using at specific times of the day. At the same time, homeown- ers could see the cost benefits to turning on dishwashers and washing machines during non- peak hours, he said. “The incentive has to be real cost savings,” Mr. Arthurs added. New Democratic Party (NDP) candidate Vern Ed- wards says his new govern- ment would place a greater stress on energy efficiency rather than conservation. “We need to look at how peo- ple can still have cold beers and hot showers but be energy efficient,” he said. “We would help people purchase money- saving energy efficient equip- ment and appliances by giving rebates to reduce demand.” Wind and solar energy would also be explored by the NDP, which would scrap privatiza- tion and the Eves rate cap, Mr. Edwards pledged. “The rate cap is artificial. It hasn’t stopped electricity prices from fluctuating,” he said. “It’s just adding to our overall debt and while the rate may be capped for homes and small business, large manufac- turers still have to pay market prices for their electricity.” The Green party actually supports the continuation of privatised hydro but certainly, not the rate cap, said its local candidate Adam Duncan. A price cap gives consumers no incentive to conserve, he said, while market prices make people think twice. “We would impose a guide- line, which would see people taxed based on the amount of resources they use,” Mr. Dun- can said, adding Germany is working towards the same tax shift. Asked if they would support expanding Darlington Nuclear Station by adding a B-side of reactors, the candidates were just as divided. Ms. Ecker said it’s something the Tories would consider but advised against putting all of Ontario’s power eggs in one basket. While nuclear energy pro- vides the base load of power to the province, Ontario needs “a range of generation,” she said. Mr. Arthurs said he didn’t feel it was the time to talk about Darlington. “First and foremost, I think we have an obligation to ex- tend our energies to bringing all four reactors at Pickering nuclear station back on line in a safe fashion,” he said. “And new nuclear facilities would need a broad public consulta- tion.” Both the NDP and Green candidates said they would see a gradual phase-out to nuclear generation altogether if elect- ed. Mr. Edwards said the NDP would rather see wind and solar power tapped and would actually call a “moratorium” on developing any new nuclear sites. “They’re incredibly expen- sive as we have seen with the cost overruns at Pickering,” he said. “We don’t feel people are getting their money out of them. They generate a lot of electricity but when they go down, they go down.” For the Green party, it’s not only a matter of economics, but the long-term storage of nu- clear waste as well that’s of concern, said Mr. Duncan. The “insane” amount of cap- ital it takes to build a nuclear station is one of the reasons none have been built in Canada in the last decade, he said. Rather than investing in other nuclear research projects like ITER, Mr. Duncan said his party would rather harvest current technology. “Close to $3 billion was spent to set up the first Pickering A reactor,” he said. “We could have bought 2,000 windmills with that at $1.5 million each to power over a million homes.” On hydro PPrrooggrreessssiivvee CCoonnsseerrvvaattiivveess 1. We will look to alternative fuels and green energy sources as we continue to build up the supply of clean energy in On- tario. 2. We will begin closing Ontario’s coal- burning power plants. We have a realistic schedule to phase out the use of coal for power by 2015, as recommended by the all-party Selected Committee on Alterna- tive Fuel Sources in 2002. 3. We will keep on adding to our electricity generating capacity until we are sufficient- ly above our highest peak demand to en- sure we can never be short of power. 4. We will cut government’s overall power consumption by 10 per cent and encour- age Ontarians, and all businesses and in- dustries, to follow our example. An energy conservation target of 10 per cent will also be put in place for all government transfer partners. 5. We will maintain the freeze on electricity rates (4.3 cents per kilowatt-hour) for consumers and small businesses until at least 2006. 6. We will retain 100 per cent control of Hydro One to ensure we have a sufficient supply of electricity - at reasonable prices - to meet our future needs. LLiibbeerraall PPaarrttyy 1.

We will keep the price cap in place until 2006. 4. We will eliminate the red tape that pre- vents generation from getting built in a timely manner. We will replace coal in a way that protects our supply. 5. We will create a truly independent ener- gy watchdog that will set fair prices, man- age future supply needs and regulate power providers and local utilities fairly. 6.

All proceeds go to The Easter Seal Society Durham Region PLEASE RECYCLE Absent Tory MPP takes heat BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Somewhere across town, Jerry Ouellette’s ears must have been ringing. Unable to attend an Oshawa can- didates’ forum hosted by local teacher unions Wednesday night, the MPP and his Tory government were the evening’s easy targets. “An MPP is supposed to lobby government on your behalf,” said Liberal Party candidate Chris Top- ple. “But nothing’s been happening for Oshawa for eight years.” “I hate to talk about the incum- bent when he’s not here, but it’s his choice,” added Paul McKeever, leader of the Freedom Party. “Let’s face it, Jerry has a ministry that stocks fish ponds. I think there is a shelf-life for politicians and Jerry’s past it.” Organizers of the forum said the Minister of Natural Resources had a previous dinner engagement with the Shriners Club. He offered an al- ternative date but it couldn’t be ac- commodated, said Harvey Bischof, chief negotiator and executive offi- cer of District 13 of the Ontario Sec- ondary School Teachers Federation. Asked if he felt the MPP’s absence had anything to do with the fact ed- ucators were hosting the event, Mr. Bischof said, “He had a chance be- tween the teachers federations and the Shriners. I think he knows who his constituents are.” In actuality, only two candidates were left to answer questions by the time the public had their turn. Sid Ryan, of the New Democratic Party (NDP), had to leave one hour into the debate to attend another forum, while the Green Party’s Karen Tweedle left at the close of the media panel’s query, also for a previ- ous engagement. As expected, the right of teachers to strike was a hot topic. Mr. Topple blamed Mike Harris for evoking contempt for educators that has “filtered through MPPs right down to school boards. “We will start with respect. We will start with good-faith bargaining, and investing $1.8 billion over the next four years to education,” said the Liberal candidate. Mr. Ryan said the NDP would place a small surtax of about $115 on incomes over $100,000 to create a general education excellence fund. It would allow boards to hire more teachers and prevent labour strife. “(Former Education Minister) John Snobelen said he was going to create a crisis in education and that’s the most successful program he’s ever put in place,” said Mr. Ryan. Asked about class sizes, Mr. McK- eever said numbers didn’t concern the Freedom Party, only perfor- mance. The Liberal party would cap classes at 20 students for up to Grade 3 and beyond that, only as more funding is available, said Mr. Topple. The NDP would allow teachers to come up with class mod- els at the collective bargaining table, said Mr. Ryan. Like most of her answers that evening, Green Party candidate Ms. Tweedle was vague. “We believe class effectiveness starts at home with parents,” she said. “We’d like to see more after- school programs. We’re just shuf- fling money around and our chil- dren are getting lost.” Teachers’ union hosts debate DDUURRHHAAMM ——The public is welcome to attend an in- formation meeting for the Durham Region Trans Canada Trail Project on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2003. Durham Region resi- dents are invited to learn about the proposed plans for the route for the Trans Canada Trail in Pickering and Ajax. Maps and route descriptions will be avail- able and questions and comments will be an- swered. The meeting will be held at the Greenwood Community Centre, Green- wood Rd., west of Westney Rd. and south of the Sixth Concession, from 7 to 9 p.m. The interim route will fol- low the Duffins Creek Wa- tershed, passing through the Greenwood and Clare- mont conservation areas and links the Waterfront Trail in Ajax to the Uxbridge Trans Canada Trail. Following approval the trail route will undergo implementation, improve- ments and signs and maps will be posted. Upon completion, the Trans Canada Trail will be the longest trail in the world. Spanning 16,400 kilo- metres across the country from east to west and north to south, and links the At- lantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans.

Beaverton school delayed again BBRROOCCKK —— Beaverton- area resident Margaret Munro says parents in Brock Township are frus- trated with the lack of progress in finding a site for Cannington’s new ele- mentary school. Mc- Caskill’s Mills Public School is the name of the new facility, approved 20 months ago. Ms. Munro made the comments at Monday’s Durham District School Board meeting. “Myself and superin- tendent (Jack) Massie and trustees share your unhappiness with this,” replied education direc- tor Craig Burch. The board is looking at two locations for the school and the list might grow to three or even four potential sites, he said. Ms. Munro asked about the land adjacent to the arena, and Mr. Burch confirmed it is one of the possible locations. “It’s sitting there empty,” she said, adding the board should just “go ahead and put it there.” Mr. Burch said, “it wouldn’t be ethical or fair” to comment on why it’s taking so long to final- ize a site. Busing policy a frustration for parent SSCCUUGGOOGG —— A Scugog woman says a public school board busing poli- cy “penalizes” working parents with young kids. Ngaan Rizzuto, at Mon- day’s Durham District School Board meeting, said because her son’s day care is not a desig- nated stop on his bus route, he cannot be dropped off there after school, even though his bus passes the day care. She has to apply for surplus seating privileges that would allow her son to take another bus, one that does stop at the day care. “As working parents, we cannot and we do not have the luxury of being at home when the bus goes by,” Ms. Rizzuto told trustees. She says children under 11 years of age should be exempt from the surplus seating process, a procedure that can take up to six weeks. Ed Hodgins, the board’s business superin- tendent, replied “the first obligation” for the board is to provide seating to children in the particular area, after which addi- tional seats are made available. “My children need to get to the day care,” said Ms. Rizzuto, saying she has been left “scrambling and stranded.” Staff architect considered to replace outsourcing DDUURRHHAAMM —— Public school board staff will provide trustees with a report on how much has been spent on architectural fees over the last two years - and if it’s feasible for the board to hire its own architect. “I do think it’s worth at least exploring... and that’s the purpose of the motion,” said Whitby Trustee Doug Ross, who moved the motion, at Monday’s Durham Dis- trict School Board meet- ing. Trustees unanimously supported the idea, though some weren’t happy to learn board staff is already gathering information to include in the report. The standing commit- tee approved the motion two weeks ago, but it had not yet received final ap- proval at the board level. “I guessed that it would pass and (facilities ser- vices superintendent Jack Massie) guessed that it would pass,” edu- cation director Craig Burch responded to Os- hawa Trustee Susan Shetler. Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers said he was surprised staff would go ahead with the report be- fore it had been approved by the board. Pickering Trustee Jen- nifer Bridge, however, congratulated staff on being so proactive.

Hop on the bus DDUURRHHAAMM — An arsenal of 19 guns is in criminal hands after the Oshawa home of a firearms collector was raided on the week- end, police say. The 45-year-old man returned to his Os- hawa Boulevard South house Monday to find it burglarized, his locked gun cabinets forced open by thieves. Nine handguns, including a .357-revolver and a semi-automatic Glock pistol, were taken along with three rifles and seven shotguns, police said. “It’s definitely a concern anytime guns end up on the street, especially this number of them. We’d like to get them back before they end up in the wrong hands,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. Investigators from 17 Division CIB are checking out several leads, including one “person of interest,” said Sgt. Malik. The Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit has also been alerted. Police said the break-in happened sometime between 3 p.m. Satur- day and 2:30 p.m. Monday. No ammunition was taken from the residence. Anyone with information that could assist is urged to call Detective Mario Lessard at 905-579-1520, Gun arsenal stolen during home break-in Regarding the return of electri- cal power, Premier Eves was quoted as saying, “Everything is back to normal.” Lest we forget the Big Blackout of ‘03, the Frenchman’s Bay Water- shed Rehabilitation Project (FBWRP) will be ‘shedding some light’ on alternative energy and en- ergy conservation at its first Sus- tainable Energy Audit Program (SEAP) workshop on September 30th, from 7 to 9 pm at the Ontario Power Generation Information Centre. Questions this group will address are: What is alternative energy and how can you benefit? What practi- cal tips will you learn to conserve energy to make your home more en- ergy efficient? To prepare for the next blackout, you can keep a couple of ice packs in your freezer. Also place meat at the back of your freezer and items like coffee grounds on the door shelf. If the lights go out, switch the ice packs into your fridge section. In an area of Pickering where the power was out the longest, energy efficiency expert and consultant Gail Lawlor of Energy Matters pulled out some ice cube trays and ice packs and placed them in the fridge with family instructions to keep the doors closed. “Nothing was spoiled,” she commented, “all salad dressing bottles etc. were still cool to touch so I did not discard a thing.” Getting into the habit of con- serving water is also important. When the lights go out, potentially so does the power to purify our water supply. Our children rely on our ability to cope efficiently. So when today’s political leaders state that every- thing is back to normal we must ask ourselves, ‘What is normal?’ as well as, ‘Who can we elect to help us be- come more sustainable?’ You can also be a volunteer with the FBWRP. Its other programs in- clude ‘Hands-on-the-Earth’ which consists of events hosted outdoors, throughout the year, to restore areas of the watershed to a more natural state. Its Volunteer Envi- ronmental Watch Monitoring pro- ject is a series of monitoring pro- grams to measure the success of past restoration efforts. For further information or to register for the Alternative Energy Wo rkshop regarding SEAP, or to be- come involved in the FBWRP, call Angela Porteous, Project Coordina- tor 905-420-4660 ext 2212.

Swing and a miss DDUURRHHAAMM — Pickering’s Kyle Press catches as Rafiq Suleman tries to hit a home run, but instead records strike one. Kyle and his family were at Palmer Park in Port Perry for a picnic. Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo Flooding among incidents during electricity crash BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM —— The public school board estimates that damage caused by last month’s blackout will end up costing it around $200,000. Jack Massie, the Durham District School Board’s facilities services su- perintendent, at Monday’s board meeting said that was “a rough esti- mate,” and he was working on a more accurate figure. The board has a $25,000 deductible on its insurance policy. At Pickering High School in Ajax, the basement, which is below grade, filled up with about a metre of water. “We lost most of the electrical con- trols for the boiler in that flood,” Mr. Massie told trustees. In an interview, he explained that “the sump pump shut down and the water continued to run.” While the boiler did not have to be replaced, motors that were under water had to be repaired or replaced, said Mr. Massie, estimating the cost at PHS alone at $40,000 to $50,000. Mr. Massie a month ago said the blackout and resulting power surge “toasted” some fire panel boards lo- cated near the entrance of schools. He is aware of at least two or three that were affected, at a cost of a cou- ple of thousand dollars each. Else- where, emergency lights on battery power came on, draining the batter- ies, some of which cannot be recharged and cost around $200 each. In other buildings, including the Education Centre in Whitby, Mr. Massie said there have been prob- lems with the controls that operate the air conditioning systems. When the lights went out and darkness fell on Oshawa, three high schools there were broken into. It has been difficult, however, to deter- mine what, if anything, was taken. Fire extinguishers were expelled in some schools, said Mr. Massie, while whoever entered C. E. Broughton Public School in Whitby did so to play. “They actually went in and skate- boarded but didn’t (damage) any- thing,” he said, adding someone uri- nated on the foyer floor. At the Durham Catholic District School Board, business services su- perintendent David Visser said the board is probably out $40,000 to $50,000. On Aug. 18, the Monday following the power outage, the board heeded Premier Ernie Eves’ call to cut back on power use by closing down all its facilities for the day. As a result, em- ployees were paid but did not work that day, said Mr. Visser, noting it was a cost the board would have in- curred anyway. He said there was no damage to board computer or electrical equip- ment as a result of the blackout, though “some servers went up and down.” Mr. Visser added some schools were broken into, but he did not re- port any damage or stolen equip- ment. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 19, 2003 PAGE 15 A/P Take a stroll through our world of antique furniture and rare finds from Ontario’s leading dealers.

DITCH T H E DI S H ! School board to send the message marijuana still not OK for students BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ——Marijuana is illegal and not allowed in schools, public school students will be formally told in the coming weeks. At Monday’s Durham District School Board meeting, Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler referred to the federal government’s proposal to de- criminalize small amounts of mari- juana. She noted the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPRDSB) was “reaffirming its sub- stance-abuse policies as a result” and felt the board should do likewise. “I’d be happy to put together a statement on behalf of the board,” ed- ucation director Craig Burch told trustees. “The Education Act has not changed,” he continued. “Section 309 talks about a principal’s duty to rec- ommend immediate expulsion if (stu- dents) are trafficking in weapons or illegal drugs. The administration (and) the principals of this board are committed to carrying through with the law of this province in this re- gard.” The Province’s Code of Conduct for schools took effect three years ago and states everyone in a school “must not be in possession of, or under the influence of, or provide others with, alcohol or illegal drugs.” Further- more, police will be involved and a student will be suspended right away and go to an expulsion hearing if caught trafficking in drugs. The mini- mum penalty for possession of illegal drugs is an immediate suspension. Student trustee Carolyn Arbuckle said it was a good idea for the board to clarify matters for students, as some “think they can’t be touched” for having marijuana, believing it is now legal. Student trustee Liam Mooney sug- gested “a letter to the student body on behalf of the student trustees.” Trustee Shetler said the message to students would be more effective coming from their peers. Mr. Burch noted principals have al- ready been making it clear to stu- dents that marijuana won’t be toler- ated. Avis Glaze, the KPRDSB’s educa- tion director, in a letter to school com- munity councils, school principals and local media at the start of the school year, said “many parents and community members” have asked how the government’s plan will affect local schools. “This is our position: the posses- sion of marijuana on school property will not be tolerated,” she stated. “It will continue to be prohibited at school, on school buses and on school trips - just as alcohol, tobacco prod- ucts and other drugs are prohibited.” No weed allowed DDUURRHHAAMM ——Local business leaders will put our provincial hopefuls to the test this month.

The Pickering resident, a teacher-librarian, retired from full-time teaching in June, but was back at Fallingbrook Public School in Whitby Wednesday for her first day as a supply teacher. Two days earlier, she had received the Durham District School Board’s Bruce Mather Award, which annually goes to a board staff member or staff team to recognize their work in helping others to grow. “I’ve had the pleasure and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children in our region,” Ms. Leech told trustees at the board meeting. Family, friends and col- leagues were in the gallery to share the moment with Ms. Leech, who thanked them for their support. Fellow staff members at Fallingbrook nominated her for the award, and educa- tion director Craig Burch said the nomination form outlines “an amazing list” of Ms. Leech’s involvement in the life of the school, includ- ing the annual Terry Fox run, the Jump Rope for Heart and Stroke, school community council, school yearbook and more. A teacher since she was 19 , with 25 years’ experience, Ms. Leech taught full-time at Fallingbrook for five years, opening the school’s library. Previously, she taught at Cadarackque and Lord Elgin public schools in Ajax, and in Toronto at Nor- way Junior Public School and the Island Public/Natur- al Science School. The 18-year Pickering res- ident said in her teaching she has tried to make stu- dents aware of those in the community who are not as fortunate as themselves, noting Whitby is a pretty af- fluent community, and en- couraged them to do their part to make it a better place. Peter Creer is one of the teachers who nominated Ms. Leech. He worked with her at both Cadarackque and Fallingbrook, describ- ing her as the best teacher he’s ever seen. “She is dedi- cated to kids,” said Mr. Creer. “Every day, kids were what she was about, and she did whatever it took to allow students to succeed.” Board chairman Eliza- beth Roy said it was “very difficult” to choose the win- ner from the six nominees, adding it was gratifying to look closely at the educators and see how much they have contributed to their respec- tive schools.

Durham Regional Po- lice said fraud squad de- tectives were alerted last Thursday morning after an employee at a financial institution in the Oshawa Centre grew suspicious of a man attempting to cash the cheque. The bad cheque was passed and plainclothes officers moved in on three suspects at the shopping centre. Sergeant Paul Malik said investigation of the trio has since expanded to other jurisdictions, where police are probing similar frauds. “There’s a potential this could evolve into a multi-million-dollar fraud investigation,” he said. Christopher Campbell, 36, of no fixed address, and Brampton residents Kirk Cousins, 32, of Burnt Elm Drive, and Patrick Anthony Jones, 30, of Hallowgrove Boulevard, are charged with fraud over $5,000, conspiracy to commit an indictable of- fence and possession of property obtained by crime. Mr. Campbell is also charged with obstructing a peace officer and pos- session of a counterfeit mark. Mr. Jones faces addi- tional charges of uttering a forged document, pos- sess counterfeit mark and personation. Meanwhile, Immigra- tion Canada is also inves- tigating the status of Mr. Campbell, who is believed to be in the country ille- gally, Sgt. Malik said. All three men were re- leased on bail in recent days, the officer said. Anyone with informa- tion about the case is asked to call Durham’s fraud unit at 905-579-1520, ext. 5358, or Crime Stop- pers at 1-800-222-8477.

The experts at Merry Maids offer these tips for blasting tile grime for good: • Loosen up - Before cleaning bathroom tile, run a hot shower for five minutes to steam dirt loose. • Brighter bathroom - Wash dull tile with a solution of vinegar and water, then polish with a soft towel. • Grout grunge - To keep white grout joints clean, wash with a solution of one to two tablespoons chlorine bleach in one quart of water. Dry thoroughly, then apply an acrylic sealer or three coats of lemon oil. Let dry one hour between coats. Never use bleach on colored grout. • Mildew miracle - Remove mildew and make tiles sparkle by sponging them off with a solution of ammonia and water. • Soot solution - Remove soot from fireplace tiles with a mixture of lemon juice and salt, then rinse.

You probably already have what you need to make it easier at home. Here are a few tips to meet those extra-tough cleaning challenges: • Tile and Grout. Wash tile and grout with two tablespoons of chlorine bleach in one quart of water and dry thoroughly. To recondition the grout, apply several coats of lemon oil, letting it dry for an hour between coats. • Stainless Steel. Stainless steel sinks and appliances are beautiful, but can be spot magnets. Baking soda is great for general cleaning, but for stubborn spots, try a cloth with rubbing alcohol. A little lighter fluid should take care of rust. • Silverware. Line a shallow pan with aluminum foil and fill with water, adding one tablespoon of baking soda per two cups of water. Heat to 150 degrees, and lay the silverware in the pan, making sure it touches the foil. The tarnish will disappear. • Windows and Screens. Nothing says clean like sparkling windows. For streak-free windows in half the time, take a tip from the pros and use a high-quality scrubber and squeegee. To f inish the job, wash screens with the scrubber and soapy water, rinse, and let dry. • Carpet Pet Stains. Mix one teaspoon mild dishwashing liquid with one cup warm water. Dip a towel in the solution and dab at the stain from the outside in. Rinse with fresh water and blot dry. Next, dab the stain with a mixture of a third of a cup white vinegar and two-thirds of a cup water and blot dry. Let dry for 24 hours and sprinkle with baking soda. Let set for a few hours and vacuum. • Shower Doors. For stubborn soap scum, a few quick swipes with a used dryer sheet on a wet door should do the trick.

The Ministry of Health and Long- Term Care has committed $76 mil- lion to the project, which started in 1999, but was halted last year due to cost overruns. "This is really great news," says Brian Lemon, chief executive officer at Lakeridge Health Corporation. "This will allow us to go forward as soon as the plans are complete." The project includes a regional cancer centre, 240 new beds, a $30- million utilities plant, and emer- gency and intensive care units. Adding to the hospital's capacity is crucial not only for Durham resi- dents, but for the entire Greater To r onto Area, says Mr. Lemon. Dur- ing the severe acute respiratory syn- drome (SARS) outbreak earlier this year, every ICU bed was occupied in the GTA. Mr. Lemon says the entire project may be finished as early as two to three years from now. The emer- gency ward will take about 18 months to complete, and the cancer centre about two years from the time work begins on site. "There are a lot of hurdles to get through yet," Mr. Lemon says, adding tenders must be accepted by Lakeridge Health and then reviewed by the ministry. The bid will be awarded in late January, he says, and work will start around March. "A lot of elements of the project are complete," says Mr. Lemon. "But it's a big chunk of work." The ministry allowed Lakeridge Health to start drafting plans in July. "But we knew we needed addition- al funds," he says.

"It was almost transcenden- tal," the Pickering artist ex- plains. "They found my work in a small gallery in northern On- tario on the last day of the ex- hibit and on their last day in Ontario." Vancouver writers Larry Loyie and Constance Bris- senden had been on a two-year hunt for just the right talent to illustrate 'As Long As the Rivers Flow', a non-fiction chil- dren's book based on Loyie's last summer before entering a residential school. In the end, it was Holm- lund's Northern Ontario land- scapes and focus on First Na- tions, which attracted their in- terest. The authors also appre- ciated her sense of realism. "They didn't want a Disney- animated pictorial," Holmlund explains. This month, their collabora- tion - and the artist's first crack at illustrating - beat 40 entries to win the 2003 Norma Fleck Award for Canadian Children's Non-Fiction from the Canadian Children's Book Centre. The $10,000 prize is one of the largest of its kind in Canadian children's books. "It's really a spectacular book," says Brenda Halliday, a librarian at the centre. "The il- lustrations are an essential component of the book. They capture the feeling of the book, the feeling of loss." More than just creating beautiful landscapes, Holm- lund manages to capture the real-life faces of Loyie's rela- tives in 'As Long As the Rivers Flow', says Halliday. "She has a lovely eye for de- tail. She's telling a story in il- lustration and Larry and Con- stance are telling a story in words. It's just a beautiful bal- ance," she adds. The last three years have been "quite a ride", says Holm- lund, between speaking at writing festivals, and keeping up with a growing number of commissions and new illustra- tion projects. Growing up in Fort Frances, a remote town in northwestern Ontario, the artist says she re- members seeing residential schools in her community as a child but not realizing First Nations children were forcibly taken from their families to be educated at the government- sponsored facilities.

SSeeccoonnddhhaanndd LLiioonnss Directed by Tim McCanlies Starring Michael Caine, Robert Duvall, Haley Joel Osmont For 14-year-old Walter, his great uncles' farm in rural Texas is the last place on earth he wants to spend the summer. Eccentric and gruff, Hub and Garth McCaan are ru- moured to have been bank robbers, mafia hit men and/or war criminals in their younger days. The truth is elusive, although they do seem to have an endless supply of cash. Little by little, through stories spun against the backdrop of the dusty Texas night, an amazing story comes to life via Walter's imagin- ings. Whether true or not, the uncles' tales become a doorway to a staggering new world for the boy to live out their adventures. Also opening this week- end are 'Underworld,' 'Cold Creek Manor' and ' The Fighting Temptations.'

The game ended in a 1-1 draw. Monarchs face stern gridiron test Favou red St. Mary senior squad faces rival Spartans today BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— Right out of the gate, the St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School Monarchs will have its collective mettle tested in their Durham Region senior football season opener today, Friday, Sept. 19, at 1:30 p.m. The Monarchs host the Dun- barton High School Spartans in a re-match of the 2002 Lake On- tario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) football championship. St. Mary won its fourth consecu- tive Durham title, but just barely, beating the surging Spartans 21- 14 last November. This year, like every year, the Monarchs will be wearing big tar- gets on their backs, and the Spartans would dearly love to send an early-season message. "Yeah, from what I understand (Dunbarton) is a much improved team," says Monarchs' head coach Gordon Judges, the reign- ing CFL/NFL high school coach of the year. "I certainly think they're going to be gunning for us. The rivalry between us and the close proximity of the school should make it 'the Battle of Whites Road' as they like to call it." For the Monarchs, this year's squad will be different in makeup from the one that won its fourth LOSSA title. In fact, about half of the St. Mary roster has turned over from a year ago. That said, however, many of the returnees are in the skill positions. "We do have a good core group of players returning in key posi- tions. We have a good nucleus of players on defence, but the fact still remains we have to teach a lot of the new kids, get them into game situations and see how it goes," he says. Key among the returnees is se- nior quarterback Erik Glavic whose stock has continued to grow in Ontario high school cir- cles since taking control of the Monarchs in Grade 10. He'll be joined by standout senior run- ning back Joe Dublin and sopho- more receiver Aaron Racioppa in what's expected to be a potent St. Mary offence. "Joe Dublin and Erik Glavic carried the team on their backs last year and it's great to have them back this year. Aaron Racioppa is a second-year receiv- er and he has shown excellent re- sults in practice. He'll be one of the key guys for us this year," says Judges. Judges is, however, somewhat hesitant to say he's optimistic that his Monarchs will find their way back to the LOSSA champi- onship game. "If our new kids can excel in the system. A lot of them have GGOORRDDOONN JJUUDDGGEESS Coach of the year returns. EERRIIKK GGLLAAVVIICC Monarchs’ quarterback. JJOOEE DDUUBBLLIINN One of the offensive keys. PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——The world champi- on can't wait to get back to Pick- ering. Perdita Felicien is counting down the days before she can come home Sept. 27, a month after winning the gold-medal in the 100-metre hurdles at the IAAF World Track and Field Championships in St-Denis, near Paris, last month. The 23-year-old toast of Cana- dian track and field travelled di- rectly from France to Champaign, Illinois following the worlds to re- sume her studies in kinesiology as a senior at the University of Illi- nois. "It will be nice to finally return home," says Felicien in an inter- view Thursday afternoon. And, when she returns, she'll be feted with a celebration by the City in recognition of her gold- medal performance at worlds. The City announced its plans Tuesday to honour the Olympian, NCAA champion, multiple all- American and now world champ at a ceremony to coincide with the 20th anniversary celebration of the Pickering Recreation Com- plex on Sept. 27. Felicien will be part of a private reception and luncheon with Mayor Wayne Arthurs and members of City council at the Pickering Civic Complex at 1 p.m. Following the luncheon, she'll be honoured at the Pickering Town Centre's cen- tre court at approximately 2:45 p.m. Felicien says she was "shocked" to learn that the City has gone to such length to arrange a ceremo- ny in her honour. "Oh, I'm shocked," she says. "I didn't ex- pect such a reception for me." Her world has been a whirlwind since her ascendance to the top of her sport last month. But, she's trying to keep her feet on the ground. "It's been tough with the acade- mics. I've been on cloud 9 for so long, but I've got to come back down. The demand on my time has been more than I ever expect- ed, but I wouldn't have it any other way," she says. Pickering High back after several years on senior sidelines AAJJAAXX ——After a long hiatus, a fa- miliar face returns to the senior ranks of Durham Region football this season. The Pickering High School Tro- jans are back on the gridiron in the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) after three years out of action. Trojans head coach John Mar- tini is cautiously optimistic about the coming season for his charges, noting the elimination of OAC will definitely be felt at the senior level, and his team in par- ticular. "It's nice, but I'm also shocked that we don't have Grade 13s any more, so the team will be very young," says Martini, who's in his third decade as a football coach at Pickering High. "The level of football is not going to be as high as I'm used to seeing." The Trojans kicked off their 2003 season Thursday night against the Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars under the lights at Denis O'Connor Catholic High School. The result wasn't available at press time. ✦ Please see Monarchs, 32 Trojans return to senior football Conquering hero set for homecoming PPEERRDDIITTAA FFEELLIICCIIEENN Glad to be coming home.

After a slow start, the Dol- phins' offensive juggernaut got rolling, putting up 40 unanswered points to keep their unblemished record in- tact. The Dolphins' defence al- lowed its first points of the season, as the Raiders scored a touchdown early in the contest. They responded to the challenge, however, not allowing another point the rest of the way. Fullback Cole Tudor got the Dolphins off and running on a dive through the huge off-tackle hole opened up by offensive guard Nathan Che- ung and tackle Bryan Derk- sen. Running back Dillon Campbell scored two second- quarter touchdowns and an- other in the third. The Dolphins' point-after team was successful in com- pleting three kicks and one run for a four-for-five day to account for 10 of the 40 points scored. Slotback Dustin Kaupp, on an end-around that caught the Markham de- fence off guard, scored the f inal touchdown. Kaupp scored the single point for the convert on his own touchdown. Defensive linemen Jaiden McBride, Chad Davis, Michael Roache and Jamal Patten and linebackers Aaron Jones, Nat Shelton- Richards, Alex Horodnyk and Ashton Rochester kept Pickering in the game until the offence could light it up in the second quarter. Defensive backs Andrew Faigal, Bryan Peters and Hayden Plourde completely shut down the Markham passing game. Meanwhile, the Dolphins peewees also secured their fifth consecutive win of the season with a 30-22 victory over the Raiders. The game was one wide re- ceiver Travis Thomas won't soon forget, as he hauled in three touchdown passes from quarterback David Priestman to pace the Dol- phins' attack. The Raiders opened the scoring on their first drive. The Dolphins responded with a long drive punctuated by solid gains by the back- f ield tandem of Tristan Ming and Germaine Goodridge. Priestman later hit Travis Thomas with a 25-yard pass to even the score. Once again the Raiders took the lead, but the Dol- phins answered on a 50-yard pass play from Priestman to wide receiver Cecil Cherrie, which tied the contest at 14- 14. The Dolphins took the lead 22-14 late in the second quar- ter on another pass play from Priestman to Thomas. The Ajax-Pickering pee- wees extended their lead to 30-14 in the third quarter as Thomas scored his third touchdown on another pass from Priestman. The Raiders scored a late fourth-quarter touchdown to close the gap to 30-22. Offensive linemen Jide Utomi and Greg Sheremeta had a fine game in the trenches. Michael Portener was also a solid contributor in the contest. No result was available for the atom game between Ajax-Pickering and Markham. The Dolphins host the Nor th York Grizzlies at Kins- men Park on Sunday. The tyke game goes at 9:30 a.m., followed by the atoms at 11 a.m. and the peewees at 1:30 p.m. played with the Pickering Dolphins, so it's not as if they haven't played football. If our new people play as good as I think they can, we'll be in good shape." Judges expects the LOSSA senior league to be a competitive one this year. He expects Pine Ridge, Dun- barton and Pickering High, playing their first season at the senior level in several years, as the Monarchs main competition. "For the first time in a long time we're going to see a lot of parity in LOSSA this season. Our main com- petition will come from Dunbarton, along with Pine Ridge and Pickering. Because of the tradition and the ex- cellence of coaching at Pickering, I expect they're going to have things in order to be a tough team as well." LOSSA football convener Rick Townend says St. Mary will definite- ly have its hands full this season, with a fifth consecutive LOSSA title not a slam dunk for the Monarchs. "I don't think St. Mary will be as strong a team as they have in the past. I think there are some teams ready to take a run at them," he says, referring specifically to Dunbarton, Pine Ridge, and Pickering High as teams to watch. Townend concurs there's a lot of parity among the teams in senior ball this season. He expects the power in the league resides in the West Division, which includes Dun- barton, St. Mary, Pine Ridge and Pickering High. "I think there will be a dog fight in the west - the power is definitely in the west." "The team that you can never turn your back on is Pickering. I have the highest regard for their coach out there (John Martini). They have a strong tradition in football. I'm sure they will do well." In the East Division, Monsignor Paul Dwyer Saints and the Eastdale Eagles, both of Oshawa, are the teams to watch. LOSSA will have two representa- tives at the Gold Horseshoe Bowl east semifinals on Nov. 14. The win- ners there will move on to Toronto's SkyDome on Nov. 21. ✦ Monarchs from page 31 Monarchs aim for fifth consecutive LOSSA football title Careers505 AMBITIOUS individuals wanting home based business opportunity.

Telus plays the Quebec Avalanche at St-Antoine Arena on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. On Sun- day afternoon at 2 p.m., the Lightning suit up against Axion of Montreal at Etienne-Des- marteau arena. And, Perram is hoping for at least a split, if not more, in the two-game set. "I'm praying to the hockey Gods right now," Perram says with a laugh. "It would really be a boost for the season. The first game is always tough. We've got it under our belts now and we real- ly can win these two games. It's about being prepared and getting ready to play." The Telus Lightning failed to start the season off with a win at home against the Brampton Thunder at the Ajax Community Centre Tuesday night. Penalties played a big role in spoiling the home-ice regular-season debut for the Lightning. "That was the big, premier rea- son (for the loss)," lamented Per- ram. "There really was no flow in the game for us and I think we're a flow team. We really need to skate." The Thunder scorched the Lightning for three power-play goals en route to a decisive 5-1 victory at the Ajax Community Centre. Although game officials doled out more infractions to the Thun- der than the Lightning, 24 min- utes versus 22 for Telus, it was the Thunder who made the hosts pay for their time in the sin bin. After Telus opened the scoring on the power play in the first pe- riod, it was all Brampton the rest of the way. The Thunder scored five unan- swered goals, including two in the first period, one in the second and two in the third, to claim their first victory of the NWHL 2003-04 season. Ashley Riggs scored the lone Telus goal, assisted by Brittany Chandler. National team player Jayna Hefford led the way for the Thun- der, scoring a pair of markers. Vicky Sunohara, another nation- al team player, Stephanie Kay and Coley Dosser, chipped in with singles. Telus was outshot by a wide 44- 18 margin by Brampton. A.J.

The Thunder spoiled the Lightning’s home opener, winning 5-1 in a penalty-filled outing. Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd.
