After 21 years at Pickering’s table, Wayne Arthurs raised the gavel for the last time Tuesday night, stepping down officially from the mayor’s office, a post he has dominated for the last 15 years. With his wife, Susan watching from the audience, Mr. Arthurs said he would miss his col- leagues, City staff and the com- munity. “A fter 20 years on council, I’ll be sitting over there looking at you now,” he said. “I’ve had a marvellous 15 years in the mayor’s office. It’s been intrigu- ing, challenging and very satisfy- ing.” In one of the most exciting races in Durham, Mr. Arthurs wrestled the Ajax-Pickering- Uxbridge riding from Janet Ecker last week, bettering the Minister of Finance by 1,011 votes. Now the Liberal MPP-elect, Mr. Arthurs is out of the race for mayor. His picture and profile have already been taken off the City Web site and Ward 3 Re- gional Councillor Maurice Bren- ner listed as Pickering’s interim mayor. He was appointed to the inter- im post last week. At Tuesday’s meeting, Mr. Arthurs recalled his time spent at City hall as “an absolute plea- sure”.

Cora Tyler, Karen deCosta and Nicki Irwin hope to raise enough money at their family event at West Shore Communi- ty Centre Saturday to allow Sue MacInnis to spend the time she has remaining, at home with her children. A portion of funds raised at the event will also be donated to the Canadian Cancer Soci- ety. The 32-year-old single mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer three weeks ago and doctors have given her only six months to live, says Ms. Tyler. “They’re offering her pallia- tive treatment so her tumour won’t grow but she’s been told the chemotherapy won’t be a cure,” she adds. Ms. MacInnis, who grew up in Pickering, lives in Mississauga with her eight-year-old daugh- ter and twin three-year-old sons. The fund-raiser is being held here because that’s where all her friends are, says Ms. Tyler. The four women met as teenagers and have remained close ever since. “She’s very positive. It’s unbe- lievable,” Ms. Tyler says, of her friend. “She’s a very strong, out- going woman.” But Ms. MacInnis, a personal trainer, who does not receive health benefits, will require 24- hour care herself, not to men- tion care for her children as well, Ms. Tyler adds. The family event, which takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., will feature jumping cas- tles, clowns, balloons, face painting, draws, door prizes and pony rides. There will also be a silent auction with a wide range of items, including Maple Leaf and Raptor tickets, antique fur- niture, $2,000 worth of designer clothes, and gift certificates to salons and spas. There will also be a bake sale, with 50 women from Ms. MacIn- nis’s local school supplying the baking. Everyone is welcome to at- tend. West Shore Community Centre is located at 1011 Bayly St. in Pickering. For more information, con- tact Ms. Tyler at 416-875-6625, Ms. daCosta at 416-891-3226, or Ms. Irwin at 416-330-1095.

TO A GAME BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM —Saving up for post-sec- ondary studies will be a lot easier for three Durham students, each of whom received CIBC Youth Vision scholarships valued at up to $34,000 over six years. The Grade 10 students are among 30 across Canada recognized late last month at the CN Tower in Toronto. The award sees students get up to $2,000 per summer while they are in high school, increasing to $4,000 per summer, as they take part in YMCA summer internship placements. After leaving high school, the stu- dents are eligible for up to $4,000 per year in tuition when they attend col- lege or university. The Durham award winners are Nicholas Boccitto, of Dunbarton High School in Pickering, Kyle Purdy from Bowmanville High School, and Rajiev Krishnakhanthan, a student at Ajax High School. In accepting the award in Toronto, Rajiev spoke on behalf of all the scholarship winners, describing it as “a ticket to follow my dream. “For all of us who completed the extensive application process, send- ing in all the forms, marks and refer- ences, it seemed like it was the end,” he said. “But for us who were select- ed to receive this scholarship, in all reality this is just the beginning. The doors to our future have been pushed wide open and we plan to walk through.” Rajiev said he has always dreamed of going to university, but wondered how he would be able to afford it. The scholarship is “a strong first step in making my dream a reality.” He has wanted to become a doctor since he was six years old. “While I have dreamed of going to university, I always wondered how I would afford the tuition,” Rajiev said. The Ajax student credited his mom, Bahi, for encouraging him to follow his dream. CIBC partners with Big Broth- ers/Big Sisters of Canada and the YMCA of Canada for the scholar- ships, explains Joan Peters, director of corporate donations, CIBC. Scholarship application forms are distributed in early January through the agencies to Grade 10 students who are Little Brothers or Sisters, or involved in a YMCA mentoring pro- gram. Eligible students provide a summary of what they hope to be- come, outline their contributions to family or the community and have a 60 per cent average or better. Students show vision Ajax High School student Rajiev Krishnakhanthan, second from left, receives the CIBC Youthvision Scholar- ship trophy recently in Toronto. Marking the moment with him, from left to right, are CIBC president and CEO John Hunkin, Big Brother Ken Booker, and Canadian Alpine Ski Team member Julien Cousineau. ration. “I look forward to the relationship I will have with this council and that of the Town of Ajax and Uxbridge,” he said. Mr. Arthurs “opened the doors to City hall” and led the City through years of unprecedented change, said Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. “Under your leadership this mu- nicipality has grown,” he said. “We have a vision. We have a strategic plan. We have an official plan and we probably have one of the most dy- namic waterfronts.” “You truly have been an agent for change,” Coun. Brenner added. Wa rd 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson recalled running against Mr. Arthurs 21 years ago in Ward 3. He said he made a commitment af- terwards never to run against him again. “And when you moved up to take the challenge of mayor, you left big shoes to fill in Ward 3,” Coun. John- son said. “You’ve made monumental achievements in 21 years.” Mr. Arthurs’ stepping down is a “surreal moment for all of us”, said Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland. “J ust to put some perspective to it, in 1982, you were first elected to council, I was in Grade 2,” he said. “That is how much of a pillar you have been in the community.” At the close of the comments, everyone in council chambers rose to give Mr. Arthurs a standing ovation. The new MPP elect said he was look- ing forward to his first meeting of the Liberal caucus this week. He is currently in the process of setting up a constituency office somewhere close to Pickering.

In a landmark ruling the Ontario Court of Appeal revived Canada's contro- versial existing marijuana law, declared unconstitu- tional by a lower court two years ago. In June, citing legal con- fusion, Durham Regional Police and other forces said they were turning a blind eye to dope smokers until the law was clarified. But, in the wake of Tues- day's ruling, police are say- ing it's business as usual and tokers will again face prosecution. "Based on what we inter- pret as the law, simple pos- session is back (on the books) and we will be en- forcing it," said Dave Selby, Durham police civilian spokesman. He said the court deci- sion was reviewed by the force's legal services unit and front-line officers have been ordered to treat pot possession as an offence. Durham officers were under direction since June not to charge anyone caught with less than 30 grams of pot. Although the deci- sion was a downer for recreational users, it was a victory for ailing people who rely on marijuana for medical reasons. The court ex- empted people who rely on marijuana for med- ical relief from the pos- session law, and has made it easier for the sick to gain access to pot. "Although Parlia- ment may subsequent- ly choose to change it, that prohibition is now no longer invalid, but is of full force and effect. Those who establish medical need are sim- ply exempted from it," said the court of ap- peal. "This consequence removes the cloud of uncertainty from the marijuana prohibi- tion... a cloud which we were told... created very considerable confusion for courts and law en- forcement agencies alike." Po t law back on the books - for now Please recycle P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 10, 2003 www.durhamregion.com From town to city Mayor Wayne Arthurs grew Pickering in his 15 years as leader He spoke softly but carried the big stick of respect that comes with experience and knowledge, grace and in- telligence. Now that Pickering, Ajax and Uxbridge residents have cho- sen Wayne Arthurs as their new MPP, City Hall must say good- bye to the long-time mayor whose conciliatory manner and ability to keep his team following the same ball earned him that respect from his council, staff and constituents alike. After more than fifteen years, the words 'Mayor' and 'A r thurs' no longer fit together and that will take some getting used to. Chances are, if he'd wanted it, the job would have been his for life. "You've brought us together as a council and you've brought us together as a City... I've watched (Mr. Arthurs) deal with many, many issues and personalities and I don't think any- body could do any better," said Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan, Tuesday night at the mayor's final council meeting. Through the years council observers saw a strong but gentle leader who could bring historical perspective to the issues of the day. With his knowledge base of Pickering, he could provide insight on the decisions made in the past bringing reason to the debate at the table. As council chairman, Mayor Arthurs kept discussions amongst his sometimes unruly councillors on track. He helped build consensus amongst his team of politicians and the staff hired to advise them. His efforts were appreciated at City hall as Everett Buntsma, Pickering's director of operations ex- pressed. "I just wanted it to be part of the official record that I have enjoyed working with you," he said. When the mayor believed in a cause, he could cash in on the goodwill he had earned. He would use that influence and the respect to enact results. He did it time and again for the Rouge Valley, Ajax and Pickering hospital, helping to get Regional council's overwhelming endorsement of a grant for the expan- sion and new emergency room despite initial opposition. As well, he championed the Mayors' Classic Golf Tournament, which to date has raised more than $1 million for the facility. He guided the City through land disputes on Pickering har- bour lands to see the Great Lakes Nautical Village built this year. And he grew the town of Pickering from a rural, residen- tial bedroom community into the City that can proudly stand on its own alongside the giant that is Toronto. At City Hall Mayor Arthurs will be missed. But in the big show that is provincial government we are counting on him to quietly make his presence count. Trustees hold our children’s future TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: You may recall a headline a few short years ago that put Durham on the map as the region with the board of educa- tion, which intended to ban Harry Potter. It didn't happen, but it distinguished the trustees of Durham as out of touch with our students and our schools. As re- lief sets in from the provincial election, we look toward a period of positive change and restoration of public ser- vices. But we must realize that our work is nowhere near finished. We must con- tinue to strive toward accountability and a positive approach from our elected rep- resentatives during the upcoming mu- nicipal elections on Nov. 10. The new Durham Board of Education trustees will make countless decisions that will affect our children and their teachers over the next few years. In many wards it has already come to light that many candidates have no children in the public system and may not even live in their area. Many issues exist in Durham that have not been addressed by previ- ous trustees. Students deserve the best teachers and programming available and Durham has the resources to provide them. We need to elect officials who truly seek to represent us, as teachers, parents and students. We need elected officials com- mitted to ensuring quality, public educa- tion for the students of our communities who will one day be our leaders. Let us leave our children a legacy of quality public education by ensuring elected officials have the knowledge, the skills and the compassion to do the job. Find out who your candidates are and what they stand for. Most importantly, on Nov. 10, make your voice heard.

The good work done by former cabinet members like Jim Flaher- ty and Jerry Ouellette and the de- feated Janet Ecker as well as by backbencher John O'Toole will continue to serve Durham Region . After all, the establishment of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and guarantees about its future growth and progress will not suddenly stop or diminish just because the Liberals are now in power. Premier-designate Dalton McGuinty has promised to make post-secondary education more affordable and with growth in On- tario on an upward tack, the ex- pansion of UOIT will be a key focus of any future ministry of col- leges and universities. U O I T doesn't just serve Durham resi- dents. It is a new-style learning environment that is a jewel for the entire province. The Liberals, in- cluding newcomer Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Wayne Arthurs will surely keep that in focus. As well, the investments promised by the Ministry of Health for the Durham Regional Cancer Centre are necessary no matter what colour of government we have at Queen's Park. Mr. Arthurs will have constituents in dire need of cancer treatment at the new centre as much as MPPs Flaherty, Ouellette and O'Toole. The medical and human need dri- ves investment and construction, not the voting patterns of the peo- ple who live in the ridings. At some point in the next four or five years, a long-promised court- house will have to be built some- where in Durham. To continue in- definitely the current inefficient, expensive, outdated system of scattered courts all over the re- gion does not make sense. The new government, once it has es- tablished its spending priorities, will have to decide what to do and when that time comes, it should build the courthouse where it will best serve all Durham residents, not to reward any one politician. It's been a long time since Durham residents were on the outside looking in provincially or federally. It says here that won't make much difference in our qual- ity of life.

I see things that don’t make sense and I want to be there for the people. I don’t think that has been hap- pening over the last nine years.” A political newcomer, Mr. Arnott says he was encouraged when Dave Ryan entered the mayor’s race, but adds he would have run anyway against the in- cumbent. He’d like to do things different- ly in Ward 1 by mainly concen- trating on issues affecting his rid- ing. Ward 1 is already served well regionally, Mr. Arnott says. “I think the safety of our com- munity is key,” he adds. “At Whites Road and Hwy. 2 there have been robberies like you’ve never seen. The woman that was beaten at the donut shop, that’s crazy. This is not downtown Tor onto.” Mr. Arnott also questioned if the City did the right thing lower- ing speed limits on all interior roads in Pickering from 50 km/h to 40 km/h. Only greater police enforcement, or even traffic con- trol devices will do the trick, he said. A resident of Ward 1 for 13 years, Mr. Arnott lives there with his wife, Theresa and his daugh- ters, aged four and nine. He is in sales for an automation company in Markham. He first became interested in City issues, fighting a plaza in his neighbourhood and stresses he wants only to run for the local seat. “This is not a stepping stone to regional council or mayor for me,” he says. Public service in his blood PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Public service just seems to run in the family for Kevin Ashe. Son of former Pickering mayor George Ashe, the 41-year-old takes his second run at Pickering council, campaigning for the Wa rd 1 city seat. He ran for the regional seat in Wa rd 1 in 1997 but lost out to Maurice Brenner. Before that, Mr. Ashe spent 12 years as a Catholic board trustee, where he also served as chairman from 19 93 to 1994. “I thought this would be a role that would enhance my public service,” he says. “And I also felt there were a number of issues that needed to be addressed in the future.” Mr. Ashe says he looks forward to bringing positive representa- tion to a Pickering council that can work with the new Liberal government on issues like Seaton and the Duffin-Rouge Agricultural Preserve. Those agricultural lands shouldn’t be developed, he says, and Pickering should stand by the position it took years ago to uphold that promise. Having lived in Pickering since 19 65, Mr. Ashe has a wife, Katie and two children. He is currently vice-president of marketing and sales for Mosey and Mosey Bene- fit Plan Consultants. Mr. Ashe has served on the Durham Regional Police Ser- vices Board and is chairman of Pickering’s committee of adjust- ment, both for the last six years. He is also a member of the Ro- tary Club of Whitby Sunrise, a board of director for Ajax-Picker- ing Big Brothers and has helped fund-raise for Rouge Valley, Ajax and Pickering hospital. As for vying against four other candidates for the city seat, Mr. Ashe says people will have more choice during this election. Fresh ideas needed on council PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — This is Joe Pa- cione’s second crack at the Wa rd 1 city seat. The high school teacher ran for the post in 1997 but lost to in- cumbent Dave Ryan. With Mr. Ryan now in the mayor’s race, there’s room for change in Ward 1, he says. “We now have an opportunity in the community to have a fresh face,” Mr. Pacione ex- plains. “When an incumbent has been there for nine years, it’s very difficult to dislodge them.” Mr. Pacione is a former Durham Catholic trustee, who has lived in Pickering since 1991. He teaches law and history with the Toronto Separate School Board in Scarborough, and has a wife, Donna and two teenaged sons. The 50-year-old is a founding member of the Pickering Italian Social Club and is involved cur- rently with Pickering’s slo-pitch league. Mr. Pacione believes there is a need for “a more responsible ex- ecutive at City hall”, that will hold taxes “at zero. “I think we also need more sidewalks in Ward 1,” he says. “It’s horrible. We have kids walk- ing along Sheppard Avenue without sidewalks to get to school.” Pickering would also benefit from a “more transparent” rela- tionship with Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation, Mr. Pacione says. “I don’t think they’ve been forthcoming with recent safety issues,” he adds. “I think we have to be a little more forceful with them. I don’t see that pres- sure being applied.” Offers experience to citizens PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — It’s déjà vu all over again for Enrico Pistritto. The former Ward 3 local coun- cillor is making another attempt at Pickering council, this time for the Ward 1 city seat. Mr. Pistritto ran for mayor in 1997 but was beat by Wayne Arthurs. “Our local representative to council is taking on the chal- lenge of running for mayor and I am seeking (the public’s) sup- port in filling the position of Wa rd 1 local councillor,” Mr. Pistritto says. “As a member of Pickering council for six years, 1991 to 1997, I enjoyed meeting with people and making their views count in council’s decisions about our community’s vitality, growth and direction,” he says. Mr. Pistritto and his wife Car- men have lived in Ward 1 with their seven children for six years. He is a self-employed, produce supplier. While farming and operating a produce store on Brock Road, the candidate says he dealt with the frustrations of rigid, unfair government. “Listening to the grass roots and fighting for fairness is what I stand for, and what I will contin- ue to do,” he adds. “My interest in government grew from dealing with City hall as a taxpayer and a business person.” Mr. Pistritto’s community in- volvements include helping out with his son’s soccer team. From activist to politician PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — After years of watching council meetings from the public gallery, David Steele wants a seat at Pickering’s table. The 59-year-old has thrown his hat into the ring for the Ward 1 city seat. “I think Pickering is at a turn- ing point,” he says. “We will have a new mayor and we have new growth that will need to be done properly. We need to protect our environmentally-sensitive lands and develop where we can devel- op.” Mr. Steele has lived in Picker- ing for 30 years with his wife Su- sanne and son Andrew. He is a superintendent of maintenance in the student housing and resi- dence life department at the University of Toronto. He is chairman of Pickering Ajax Citizens Together (PACT) for the Environment, sits on the City’s growth management steering committee and is a member of Pickering Soccer Club. Mr. Steele is also a member of Durham’s waste reduction committee, the City’s nuclear cit- izens advisory committee, and the waterfront implementation committee. The candidate says he would like to see the City’s five-year capital plan made more public and predicts partnerships with organizations and the private sector to be key in building fu- ture facilities in Pickering. He also believes the principles of sustainable development will be important as the next Picker- ing council sets out the frame- work for Seaton. More commer- cial and industrial development will be needed to mitigate the impact of development on the residential taxpayer, he says. “I intend to continue to work for the residents of the City of Pickering as I have done as a vol- unteer for the last 20 years,” Mr. Steele adds. 2003 MUNICIPAL ELECTION - PICKERING CITY COUNCILLOR WARD 1 RROOSSSS AARRNNOOTTTT KKEEVVIINN AASSHHEE JJOOEE PPAACCIIOONNEE EENNRRIICCOO PPIISSTTRRIITTTTOO DDAAVVIIDD SSTTEEEELLEE ward 1RROOSSEEBBAANNKK FFAAIIRRPPOORRTTHHYYDDRROO CCOORRRRIIDDOORR CCNNRR www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 10, 2003 PAGE 9 P In cooperation with Durham College and University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Brock University offers BEd in Adult Education Degree and Certificate programs of study designed for those working or aspiring to work in adult learning environments including health care, human resources, social services, business, industry or formal academic settings.

In response, the City recently low- ered the speed limit on all local and collector roads in Pickering from 50 km/hr to 40 km/hr. Arterial and re- gional roads remain unaffected. The signs have yet to go up for the bylaw brought forward by Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan. Mem- bers, who supported the idea, argue 50 km/hr is too fast for residential streets. Local streets south of the 401 have been posted 40 since 1975 and residents have been lobbying hard for the same in the north. But it remains to be seen if the bylaw will have the desired effect in causing motorists to slow down. “I think the City of Pickering and our office are on common ground,” says Sherry Whiteway, a Durham Re- gional Police inspector, with Division 19 in Pickering. “We both want the same thing. We want drivers to slow down, especially in residential areas where our chil- dren are at risk,” she says. But police have yet to see the actu- al bylaw and need to determine its ef- fect on the Highway Traffic Act, Insp. Whiteway says. Her division actively enforces speeds in community safety zones around schools marked at 40 km/hr, but as for the rest of the City’s residential and collector roads, that will be determined by available re- sources. “J ust because the City has made it a bylaw doesn’t mean we have the ability to enforce it on a regular basis,” she explains. While personal injury accidents were down 3.7 per cent over the first half of 2003 in Durham, property damage collisions rose 10 per cent. Division 19 is looking at a pilot pro- ject to establish a collision reporting centre in Pickering so police have a better handle on where these colli- sions are occurring, Insp. Whiteway says. “But most of the complaints we get about speeders are actually people driving around their own neighbour- hood,” she adds. “Start by assessing your own driving. Look at your own speed.” Durham Regional Police are pre- pared to work with the City, Insp. Whiteway says, adding, “This is just another challenge ahead of us.” Pickering is the first municipality in Durham to pass such a bylaw, but the Region’s traffic engineers predict it will actually make streets less safe in the long run. “It creates a wider variance in speeds between those doing 40 and those doing higher,” Mr. Szwarz ex- plains. “It becomes more dangerous to do things like lane changes.” If speed limits aren’t based on en- gineering criteria, motorists tend to ignore speed limits and drive to the environmental conditions, he ex- plains. The majority of drivers don’t want to break laws but usually end up driving at the speeds they feel comfortable. City staff estimate the bylaw will cost $25,000 in signs alone, not to mention staff time, but Mr. Szwarz says the Region expects the expense to be much higher. Currently, under the Highway Traffic Act, municipalities don’t have to post 50 and 80 km/hr signs. But with the bylaw, every street now converted to 40 km/hr in Pickering will have to be posted. “That means even a cul- de-sac will have to have one sign going in and another sign going out,” Mr. Szwarz says. Sylvain Trepanier still sees speeders in his East Shore neighbourhood, even though its one of the City’s areas that has been posted at 40 km/hr on local streets for more than two decades. “I still see people trying to pass me when I go 40 km/hr,” says the president of the Pickering East Shore Community Association (PESCA). He acknowledges en- forcement is key, but adds it seems unreasonable to divert officers from serious crime beats to police traf- f ic. Groups like Road Watch, which encourage community reporting of speeders, can help. “I think (the bylaw) might be an improvement but it’s not a solution by it- self,” he says. “It’s part of the solution. Just putting a sign up that says 40 will not make anyone go 40.” 2003 MUNICIPAL ELECTION - PICKERING CITY COUNCILLOR WARD 1 Safe streets a main concern News Advertiser Metroland Durham Region Media Group BINGO HALL BEST FOOD & DRINK ALL-AROUND RESTAURANT ICE CREAM BAKERY BREAKFAST INDIAN RESTAURANT CHICKEN WINGS ITALIAN RESTAURANT CHINESE RESTAURANT LUNCH DELI/SANDWICH & SPECIALTY SHOP FAST FOOD FABRIC STORE FLOOR COVERINGS FORMAL WEAR GARDENING CENTRE & NURSERY GROCERY STORE HOME IMPROVEMENT/HARDWARE KITCHEN/BATH/BED MATERNITY SHOP MEN’S STORE OPTICAL STORE PET STORE SPORTING GOODS STRIP MALL WALLPAPER STORE BEST SHOPPING ART & FRAMING PIZZA Hamburger Fabricland Bouclair Lace Place Home Depot Carpet Towne All Harwood Vandermeer White Rose Loblaws Home Depot Home Hardware Millwork For You Two Thyme Maternity Mulberry Bush Moore’s International Clothier CLEARANCE STORE CUP OF COFFEE FAMILY RESTAURANT PUB & BAR FINE DINING DEPARTMENT STORE ANTIQUE STORE APPLIANCE STORE BICYCLE SHOP BOOK STORE CAMERA SHOP COMPUTER STORE CRAFT STORE CELLULAR PHONE CENTRE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT RECORD STORE SECOND HAND STORE Dairy Cream Baskin Robbins McDonalds FISH AND CHIPS Red Lobster Waterfront Bistro The Keg Pizza Hut Mandarin Tu ckers Market Pizza Pizza Pizza Nova Pizza Hut MacGwyers Bob Caygeons Thirsty Monk East Side Mario’s Penello Bistro Pizza and Panzorotti Lonestar Applebees Masseys Montanas Denny’s Bob Caygeon’s East Side Mario’s Sopraffinos Casa Verde Kiskidee The Mt.

And while some walked and others strolled, the 4th annual Durham run to help fight breast cancer was a resounding success. Mo re than 3,300 ‘runners’ filled Memorial Park in Oshawa, raising a phenomenal $297,000 - so far - with organizers hoping the final amount hits the $300,000 mark. Durham Region runners were part of 16 0,000 participants of all ages in 39 commu- nities across Canada who raised a record amount of money for breast cancer research. With figures in from most of the run sites, the national total is expected to top $17 mil- lion. Durham’s ‘Run for the Cure’ total could top $300,000 Participants race off the mark at the start of the CIBC annual Run for the Cure held in Oshawa.

We’re a recycling embarrassment ‘Word on the Street’, Toronto’s an- nual bookfest which is always held on Queen Street West during the last Sunday in September, made an at- tempt to recycle those discarded water bottles. That was something ‘Sarstock’ neglected to do! For the event, Turtle Island Recy- cling set up three steel containers in separate locations between Spadina and University avenues. The compa- ny made it easy for book browsers by allowing everything to be co-mingled for sorting on conveyor belts at its recycling plant. Turtle Island Recy- cling had short notice of this event and Joe Figueira, general marketing manager, thinks that next year recy- cling will have better promotion. Unfortunately at ‘’Word on the Street’, some people, who did not see the bins, hung green garbage bags on fences and poles. By mid-day these bulging green bags were more no- ticeable and became the place to put those beverage containers and corn cobs that were sold on-site. Tourists from our east and west coasts, who are years ahead of Toronto in terms of recycling, must shake their heads at this lost opportunity both to gath- er resources and to educate by ex- ample. Also, during the day, book buyers leisurely gathered informa- tion and this would have been an ideal setting for the City of Toronto to display a 3Rs information table as well as put out their new green bins for those corn cobs and other un- wanted food scraps. Maybe next year. With the Liberals now at On- tario’s helm a recycling system will be mandated wherever events are or- ganized and given as much attention as every other detail. Recycling cre- ates jobs, saves energy, and re- sources. Without it, Toronto, and Durham alike, will continue to be a recycling embarrassment to fellow Canadians who attend our events. ❐❐❐ Next week, ‘Too Good to Waste’ posters will be displayed in promi- nent places in both Pickering and Ajax to celebrate Waste Reduction Week in Canada during October 20- 26. The Region of Durham now has the week fully booked with class tours for its recycling facility. This will provide students with an ex- cellent opportunity to ask ques- tions about Durham’s upcoming green bin collection for our area as well as get information on the markets for the items we so dili- gently save each week. These tours are available all year round. The Recycling Council of Ontario will be launching the week at the Kor- tright Centre in the north/west part of the GTA. ❐❐❐ Durham Environmental Net- work (DEN) is being revitalized. On-going supporters and volun- teers for this environmental or- ganization are delighted that DEN soon will have its head- quarters in Brougham with a lo- cation to loan environmental in- formation. DEN is known in Durham for its State of Environ- ment poster map, resource di- rectory, and ‘Your Household Guide to Waste and Reduction and Recycling in Durham Re- gion’ booklet.

Retail $43.99 Reg. Retail $36.99 You can personalize your next painting project with a colour scheme especially suited to your style, taste or even fondest memories. The first step, find a picture or photograph that recalls a happy trip or vacation. Select the dominant colour in that picture as the paint colour for your room. For example, a trip to a resort or cottage can be recollected by using the blue of the sky as your dominant colour, with the green of the surrounding trees as the accent colour. With colours it’s all about adjusting perceptions. A paint colour can actually change our perception of the size and shape of a room itself. The right colour in the right place for example, can make a room appear larger and brighter, or more intimate and less empty. It can even make a long and narrow room look more square-shaped, or vice-versa. Here’s a general guideline offered by the paint experts at Sico: To make a room appear: • Larger: use a pale colour to create the impression that the walls are further away. • Brighter: use a pale shade, like a light yellow. • Smaller: use a dark colour to make the room more intimate and less empty. Reds and earth shades for example, give the impression that walls are closer to us. To change the perception of room shape: • Long and narrow to square: paint the shorter walls in a darker colour than the longer ones. • Square to Long and Narrow: paint the two facing walls you wish to look longer in a lighter colour. To choose a finish: According to Dominique Pépin, senior brand manager at Sico and member of the Colour Marketing Group, flat paints add richness and depth to the colour of your room. “Today, even high-traffic household areas like hallways, playrooms, bathrooms and kitchens can hold up easily with a lower gloss, but washable paint.” For more information and advice on painting and decor visit the sico.ca web site. - News Canada Home decor tips: How to customize your decor with colour The soft textural quality of handmade Japanese paper is the perfect foil for the hard edges of a modern world.

Ms. McKim has been a part of the organization even before a Canadian section existed. She then joined a Halifax group and volunteered, sending telegrams to heads of state and government ministers about human rights violations. Ms. McKim travelled to London in 1981 with the intention of volunteering with the Amnesty Inter- national Secretariat but quickly landed employ- ment there filling four temporary posts and ful- f illing her life’s dream. In 1985, she returned to Canada to fill the urgent action co-ordinator posi- tion here, and has held the post ever since. “It’s an honour to serve the world’s largest human rights organization. We not only document human rights violations but we also give people the tools to do something about the horrific deeds we witness, with some- times some very surpris- ing and positive results,” says Ms. McKim. The meeting will be held at the Pickering Vil- lage United Church, 300 Church St. N. at 7:30 on Oct. 21. Everyone is wel- come to attend.

After talking to Najja Cal- ibur, front man for Blues Un- derdog, it becomes clear the recorded message very much mirrors the man and the band, described by their booking agent as 'urban rock' with a "unique blend of hip-hop, al- ternative rock and funk" and own "roouffh" style. The seven members of the band, who combine vocals, g uitar, bass, drums and turntables, only got together about a year-and-a-half ago but have already won this year's Bandwarz competition at the E.P. Taylor pub at Durham College, beating out 53 other bands in the process. "We all came from these dif- ferent bands who happen to break up about the same time," Calibur says. "We always knew each other. We'd each gone as far as we could with those other bands." The originating bands, all Durham-based except one, were playing different music styles. Good Time Charlie was a punk alternative band, Foot Soldiers, a rap/R&B group and the original Blues Under- dog was primarily blues. One member came from Port Hope-based Scratch 3, a ska- reggae rock group, says Cal- ibur. Melding these sounds and influences together, the new Blues Underdog has come up with a sound all their own. "We came together for the jammin' and started to see we had a little something differ- ent. We started early on seeing a chemistry," he relates. And, if his voicemail is any indication, there's also an incredible ener- gy. At 26, Calibur is the band's oldest member, the youngest being 21, which makes them perfectly suited to their audi- ence, primarily university crowds who, Calibur says, have blown the band away with the enthusiasm for the sound. "At Queens (University) they gave us four encores. They got really boisterous. It's been real- ly good for our confidence," says Calibur. "Next is to get recording and get radio play," he says. Al- ready they have had feedback from recording companies who are interested in the band but not entirely sure how to market its eclectic sound. The sound and the mem- bers reflect their home com- munities, mostly Ajax and Pickering, which has become more and more culturally di- verse in the past few years. "We're all from different cul- tures. We're the United Na- tions," laughs Calibur. "We're following our own trend and creating our own style." The recording reps "love us but they say, 'where do we place you.' At first it is a problem but in the end it's going to be beau- tiful." Fame narrowly eclipsed the band last year when the To r onto Maple Leafs entered the playoffs. The band had written and recorded a song and video for the hockey team and it was scheduled to run on the television networks, in- cluding TSN, the last home game of the series, relates Cal- ibur. Alas, the Leafs lost before the song could be aired. It was probably the most disappoint- ing loss these Leafs fans had experienced, admits Calibur. But, he says, they hope the song, with some revisions to ref lect the new composition of the team, will get its debut this season. “I definitely feel we have the potential to be the next big thing out of Durham and on a wider scale. Tell everyone to look out,” Calibur predicts. Meanwhile, anyone who wants to catch up with the band members while they are in town can catch them this Saturday, Oct. 11 at Chatt's Bar and Grill, 368 Bayly St., in Ajax. There is a $5 cover. Doors open at 10 with an open- ing act.

Pickering’s St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs also played during the afternoon. Clarke, Riggs, Eustace all hope to make an impression in Halifax PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——Three local women hockey players will at- tempt to make an impression on the ice at the Team Canada Thanksgiving Festival in Halifax this week. Sixty of the country's top fe- male hockey players will be part of what's viewed as the first step toward forming Canada's roster for the 2004 World Women's Hockey Championships in Hali- fax March 30 to April 6. Among those trying out is Ashley Riggs, 18, a high-flying forward with the Telus Light- ning of the National Women's Hockey League who's also a member of Canada's under-22 women's team; La Toya Clarke, 22, a forward with the NCAA Di- vision 1 University of Minnesota Golden Gophers who has played last year with Canada's under-22 team; and Joanne Eustace, 22, of To r bay, Newfoundland, who's playing with the Telus Lightning this season. Riggs is currently in her rookie season with the Telus Lightning and has six points (four goals, two assists) in five games thus far. She comes to the Lightning after stellar seasons with her high school team, the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Mon- archs, and while playing with the Durham West Lightning Girls Hockey Association's intermedi- ate 'AA' rep team. Meanwhile, Clarke, a senior co-captain with the Golden Go- phers, had 23 points in 32 games last season. Clarke was named to the all-tournament team at the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) Final Five, leading the Gophers to the championship game. She ranks eighth on Minnesota's career points list (118), sixth on goals (47) and ninth in assists (71). Eustace has found a home on the Lightning's top line and has contributed a goal and an assist in five games thus far. She came to the Lightning after finishing her NCAA Division 1 collegiate career with the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs. Telus coach Peter Perram is serving as an assistant coach on one of three teams formed to play at the Thanksgiving Festi- val. Play began in the Festival Wednesday and will conclude Sunday with the final. The 60 players attending the Thanksgiving Festival include 17 members of the 2002 Olympic championship squad and 19 of the 20 players named to the 2003 world championship team. City players at national tryout event LLAA TTOOYYAA CCLLAARRKKEE At tends national team tourney. Dolphins teams silence Thunder; still undefeated DDUURRHHAAMM —— The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins football teams im- proved their records to an un- canny 8-0 mark as the tykes, atoms and peewees all got past the Scarborough Thunder on Sunday afternoon. The Dolphins' teams travel to Burlington on Thanksgiving Monday in hopes of continuing their magical undefeated sea- sons at Nelson Stadium. The peewees were the most taxed to keep their undefeated string going, holding off the de- fending Central Ontario Minor Football League (COMFL) champion Scarborough Thun- der 15-14. The atoms and tykes rolled up convincing wins -- the former by a 34-8 margin and the latter by a 38-0 score. The peewees led 8-0 in the sec- ond quarter as quarterback David Priestman hooked up with wide receiver Travis Thomas for a 25-yard touch- down pass. Defensive back Robert Spagnola intercepted a Thunder pass and returned the ball 65 yards for the Dolphins' second major. Defensive front four Kevin Campbell, Michael Vahabi, Alexander Ko and Justice Mounsey had their finest day as a unit wreaking havoc in the Thunder backfield. Linebackers Cecil Cherrie, Keith Hunter, An- drew Smith and Phil Roy were relentless in pursuit of opposi- tion ball carriers. Defensive cor- ner David McIlravey effectively contained and controlled the high-powered Scarborough sweep. The backfield of Jermayne Goodridge, Tristan Ming and Andrew Quittenton combined for crucial rushing yardage at critical times. Priestman and rookie pivot Andrew Lim took turns leading the team against the tough Scarborough defence. Dolphin special teams were impeccable, providing excellent field position on several occa- sions. Tight end James McIn- tosh executed key blocks and also pulled in a key third-down pass play to continue an offen- sive drive. Meanwhile, the first-place atoms won convincingly over Scarborough in a game that fea- tured a playoff atmosphere. Andre Shand was a force on both sides of the ball, scoring a rushing touchdown from 12 yards out and recovered two fumbles from his safety position. Tristan Garnett and Myles Daly handled the bulk of the ball car- rying duties, with Daly scoring three rushing touchdowns. Tyler Grayer contributed on special teams with a 40-yard kick-off re- turn, which gave the offence good field position. The offensive sputtered a little with the absence of kicker Kyle Goffe, who was injured late in the first quarter. However, under the direction of quarter- backs Tosh Miller Francis, in the first half, and Jesse Kelly in the last half, the offence responded. The offensive line, led by centre Kyle DeBellotte, and also in- cluding Matt Blum, Ryan Ko, Brent Peters, Josh Smith, Dave Hassell and Ian Tobias held off Scarborough for most of the af- ternoon. As they have all season, the Dolphins' defence was steadfast in denying the Thunder signifi- cant yardage. Peter Iyamu played on both sides of the ball; he had several tackles, and han- dled the teams kicking duties in place of Goffe. Matt Blum, Bran- don Misseri, Florian Schlosser and Jamel Watson ensured Scarborough had a trouble find- ing any running room. Alan Forsythe had a huge game making several tackles and making two interceptions, one that went for a 60-yard touchdown. Darnell Brown ran back a punt 40 yards and made a great defensive stop, knocking down a pass that would have given Scarborough a first down at a key point in the game. Mid- dle linebacker Kyle Whelan com- pletely shut down the middle of the field. Linebacker Adrian Williamson recovered a fumble and forced the play wide from his position. Jamel Watson played both sides of the ball and also recovered a fumble. In the tyke game, the Dol- phins recorded its seventh shutout of the season in its big win over Scarborough. During the course of their eight wins this season, the Ajax-Pickering tykes have allowed a paltry seven points against, while chalking up more than 300 points for. Tailback Denver Wright scored the first touchdown in the opening quarter. Running back Dillon Campbell scam- pered into the end zone for three touchdowns -- one in each of the second, third and fourth quar- ters. Fullback Cole Tudor ran the ball effectively and, although he did not score, was responsi- ble for moving the ball to the Scarborough one-yard line in the fourth quarter. This enabled Richard Quittenton to score on a quarterback sneak. The point- after team was good on 3-of-5 convert attempts accounting for nine points. Defensive corners Dustin Kaupp and Omar Smith and de- fensive ends Jaiden McBride and Cole Tudor were stingy in the yards they allowed. Line- backers Nathaniel Shelton- Richards, Alexander Horodnyk and Dillon Campbell punished the Scarborough offence. Offen- sive linemen Jackson Harding, Bryan Derksen, Ryan Colvin, Nathan Cheung, Michael Roache, Ashton Rochester, John Moore and Reakwon Grant were outstanding. DDOOLLPPHHIINNSS NNOOTTEESS::The Dolphins atoms defeated the Oshawa Hawkeyes 46-8 Sept. 28. KKyyllee GGooffffee had a great game scoring four touchdowns on 35-, 50-, 20- and 30-yard runs. He also added 10 points on converts. MMyylleess DDaallyy completed the scoring with an eight-yard rushing major. TTrriissttaann GGaarrnneett ran hard in the 2nd half along with Jonah Wyn- ter.

Rob Oakman won two karting titles in the Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship (SRFKC) series at Goodwood Kartway. The series consisted of 12 races in six events at tracks in Mosport, Sutton, Hamilton and Barrie with the final event at Oakman's home track of Goodwood, north of Stouffville. Entering the event, Oakman had a 101-point lead in the com- petitive Canada Senior Class (Honda GX200 engine) and a 53-point lead in the new World Formula Class (Briggs and Stratton engine). Each event in the SRFKC consists of two races with 100 points going to the winner of each race with a five-point bonus for being the fastest qualifier. First up was Canada Senior qualifying and Oakman showed he was serious about winning the championship by capturing his first Pfaff Motors Fast Qual- ifier Award of the season with a mark two-tenths-of-a-second faster than the next fastest kart. This placed his Karts and Parts/Awesome Engines-spon- sored Gold Kart on pole posi- tion beside teammate Marco Di Leo, of Markham. Justin Mas- coll, of Whitby, who went into the event in second place, quali- fied fourth in the 18-kart field. All Oakman needed was to fin- ish ahead of Mascoll and the crown was his. When the checkered flag dropped after the first race, Dileo was the winner followed by Oakman and Markham's Sal Ditta. Mascoll finished eighth. Oakman's performance was enough to secure his first Championship of the day. In the final Canada Senior race, the order was Dileo, Oak- man and Jen Rempell, of Leam- ington. World Formula was a little dif- ferent story. With the points battle a little tighter, Oakman had to ensure he finished near the front of the pack to capture his second SRFKC title. When qualifying results were posted, Oakman sat third on the grid with second-place points holder Jason Bradimore, of Ajax, in fourth. The pole went to Justin Mascoll who sat a distant third in the points. At the end of race one, Mas- coll was victorious, followed by Stefano Romano of Markham. Bradimore finished third fol- lowed closely by Oakman. This would leave Oakman with a 42- point cushion going into the final. Mascoll took the point from the green flag, never to look back capturing the win. He was followed by Bradimore who was hounded by Oakman for the en- tire race. Oakman's third-place finish gave him enough points to secure his second SRFKC title. "What a great day," said Oak- man after his second champi- onship was secured. "I raced rather conservatively today. I had opportunities to make passes but I knew what I had to do to win both classes and that was to finish. I couldn't take too many chances." Oakman's rewards for win- ning were many. Due to his championships in both classes, he's one of 10 drivers invited to a one-day evaluation at the Bridgestone/Firestone Racing Academy. There, Ron Fellows will select two drivers for a scholarship in the 2004 Bridge- stone/Firestone F2000 Racing Series. The prize for winning the World Formula Class is a fully paid ride in a race-prepared Nissan Sentra in the Action Front Street Stock Series. This series features identically-pre- pared Nissan Sentra cars that race at tracks such as Shan- nonville and Mosport. "The Nissan ride is a once-in- a-lifetime opportunity for me. Racing a sedan or stock car has been my dream. I can't thank Sunoco, Ron Fellows, ASN Canada and the Action Front Group enough for giving me this opportunity," said Oakman. "I hope to make the most of it". www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 10, 2003 PAGE 35 P If you don’t receive “Service Worth Paying For” or have any questions or delivery concerns please call The News Advertiser at: 905-683-5117 CARRIERS COLLECT EVERY THREE WEEKS SERVICE WORTH PAYING FOR 100% is kept by the carrier as payment for their delivery.

And the one that I recently saw in ‘The Medical Post’ is one that’s hard to forget. The picture shows a man totally paralyzed due to amyotrophic lat- eral sclerosis (ALS) commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. To me it illustrates the best and worst of science. Lou Gehrig’s Disease is a frightful malady. It’s an inch- by-inch, slow paralysis that gradually and insidiously spreads throughout the entire body. The final phase is total paralysis, but with a normally functioning brain. Pa- tients are literally “locked in” inside their bodies. At the end, patients drown in their own mucus. It must be as close to hell as one can imagine. So why is its treatment the best of science? Dr. Niels Bir- baumer, professor of Neurobiology at the University of Tubingen, Germany, has taught patients suffering from ALS to use a computer by controlling their brain waves. This is a historical breakthrough in science in that it al- lows ALS patients to communicate entirely by thought alone. Electrodes, placed on the patient’s scalp, transfer sig- nals from the brain to a computer. The patient then has to practice controlling his or her brain waves. Dr. Birbaumer admits it’s not easy to train the brain to move a white ball up or down the computer screen and to select individual letters on the screen. But it is possible. Brain-computerized thought is a very slow way to com- municate even after the technique is mastered. For in- stance, it required 16 hours for one patient to write a letter. But, one can argue, “so what”? Why does time matter? After all, these paralyzed patients are not going anywhere. Besides, it must be wonderful to be able to communicate imprisoned feelings to others. So one must congratulate Dr. Birbaumer and his colleagues for bringing some qual- ity of life (QOL) to those suffering from Lou Gehrig’s Dis- ease. But how much QOL? Dr. Birbaumer claims a tech- nique has been developed to measure the QOL of patients on respirators. A research team compared QOL scores of 78 patients with ALS, 78 with depression and 92 healthy people. Their conclusion? The QOL scores of ALS patients were lower than the healthy group as one would expect. But Dr. Birbaumer claims that their QOL scores remained within a normal range. In effect, he claims that ALS patients at- tached to respirators are not severely depressed and find their lives worth living. I understand that no one knows how one will react until faced with similar catastrophe. But I find it impossible to believe that ALS patients have QOL scores in the normal range. It’s this side of science that concerns me. I found it hard to stop looking at this patient’s picture, and tried to envi- sion life under his conditions. The thought of being physi- cally helpless, the need for a catheter to collect urine, ene- mas for bowel movements, and someone to feed and care for you 24 hours a day; the thought of looking out into space day after day, the inability to even scratch an itchy nose, are all horrifying. So I find this research fascinating, but frightening. The ability of science to keep us alive long after we would nor- mally have died. There is no doubt that some ALS pa- tients prefer life under these conditions. I have absolutely no argument with their decision to survive at all cost. But I have always believed in freedom of choice between life and death. The freedom to say, “I have had enough of this existence, and choose to end my life.” Some readers will disagree with me on this point. But we must all agree that more research funds should be available to put an end to this horrendous disease. Today we spend huge amounts of money on heart disease and lit- tle on degenerative nervous diseases. To r onto physician Dr. Gifford-Jones has offered medical advice and opinions for decades in his syndicated column. DDrr..
