Spring in his swing
AJAX –– Avid golfer Laurie Sultana practised his bunker shots during an outing at the
Annandale Golf and Curling Club Monday morning. Record-breaking temperatures are
making it a little more difficult for traditional winter fun, but that’s fine with Mr. Sul-
tana, a 76-year-old retiree who wants to get a jump on the 2002 golf season.
Afghanistan native gets new lease on life
Opportunity, security
found in Canada
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Nahid
Ashna believes women are equal
to men.
She also believes her children
have a right to an education, and
the right to live in a secure and
safe environment. And, she be-
lieves all people should have the
same opportunities.
Unfortunately, she didn’t
enjoy those rights in her home-
land.
But the Afghanistan native
believes she has found those
freedoms here in Canada and
became a citizen Oct. 31.
“Canada is now my other
home. I have the same feelings
for Canada as I do for
Afghanistan,” she said. “I love
Canada as much as I love
Afghanistan.”
She came to Canada in 1997
with her six children, fleeing
years of war and persecution in
her native land.
The mujahedeen, who fought
against Soviet occupation of the
country since 1979, had taken
over power after president Mo-
hammad Najibullah stepped
down in 1992. The Taliban were
just beginning to take over most
of the territory in the south when
she left.
Ms. Ashna said there was re-
ally no central government at the
time.
Her home was the city of
Jalalabad, the capital of Nan-
garhar province in eastern
Afghanistan with a population
of approximately 60,000.
Ms. Ashna is an educated
woman, having studied Persian
literature at Kabul University for
four years. She became a teacher
and proponent of women’s
rights in a land where there are
few.
“I taught women and chil-
dren literacy courses. I tried to
give them an understanding of
health and nutrition to take care
of their children, because a high
percentage of them don’t under-
stand,” she explained. “I worked
for women’s rights. I wanted
women to be equal to men, to be
independent, but the muja-
hedeen opposed that, it wasn’t
part of their culture and when
they took power I had to leave
because I didn’t feel safe.
“When the mujahedeen took
power and the (Najibullah)
regime fell I was concerned for
my safety and security. They
closed many schools in the cities
and villages because of security,
only a few were open. Then
when the Taliban came they
closed them all.”
She had been on local televi-
sion in Jalalabad speaking for
women’s rights and was no
friend to the hard line Islamic
fundamentalism sweeping the
war-torn country.
She also feared for the safety
of her daughters as the muja-
hedeen were simply takingNahid Ashna was a teacher and proponent of women’s
rights in Afghanistan. She’s found a new life here in
Durham, with the help of a local church.
Durham housing
market booms
Realtors enjoy hot
market, although new
home sales dip
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Coming off a
record year for home sales,
Durham agents are smiling and
looking forward to more of the
same in 2002.
“December topped off a
record residential resale market
in Durham Region for 2001,”
announced Patricia Mapple-
beck, president of the Durham
Region Real Estate Board
(DRREB). “Low interest rates
have made the market available
to first-time homebuyers and
it’s not just limited to new
homebuyers. For anyone look-
ing to move up, financing is
likely to cost less than before.”
Statistics released by
DRREB show sales for Decem-
ber were up 39 per cent to 506
from 364 in December 2000, a
record number for DRREB
during the holiday season.
And, with mortgage rates at
a 40-year low, 2001 produced
record-setting statistics overall
with 8,085 sales, up 12 per cent
from 7,220 in 2000.
Lois Weaver, sales agent
with Royal Lepage Connect
Realty in Pickering, said there
was a “lull” in the market fol-
lowing Sept. 11, but with inter-
est rates so low, homes so af-
fordable, and a lack of available
rentals, she saw the “best De-
cember” of her career.
“It’s been very busy,” she
said, adding 2002 has looked
just as good as 2001 so far.
“January started out with a
bang right out of the gate.”
The average selling price of
a Durham home in 2001 in-
creased to $187,480 from
$179,300 in 2000, the highest
it’s been since the boom of the
late 1980s. However, Ms.
Weaver noted prices are not
“shooting up” like they did dur-
ing the 80s, meaning most
homes are still relatively af-
Hero’s welcome for Robin
City honours
Pickering girl
for bravery, heroism
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —By all ac-
counts Robin Pugh is a typical
11-year-old girl.
She lives in the West Shore
community and is in Grade 6 at
Frenchman’s Bay Public
School. She enjoys drama, has
taken two years of junior life
guarding with the City of Pick-
ering, and wants to work with
dolphins when she grows up.
However, her actions last
summer while attending the
Ontario Mirror Dingy Associa-
tion Regatta on Frenchman’s
Bay were more than typical.
Robin and her 13-year-old
friend from Mississauga,
Matthew Loffree, were sitting
on the docks at a local yacht
club waiting for one of the
races to finish when they heard
someone yelling.
“At first I though it was a
sibling or some other kids play-
ing tag or something,” she ex-
plained, adding the two soon
realized it was a cry for help.
Looking around through a
small crack in the docks, Robin
and Matthew could just barely
see the face and hands of a
young girl hanging onto the
docks by her fingertips and
quickly slipping into the water
below.
They acted fast, desperately
trying to pull the girl to safety,
but her wet clothing weighed
her down, making her too
heavy to lift.
“We just couldn’t get her
up,” said Matthew.
“She weighed a ton,” added
Robin. “I was afraid she was
slipping off and we were hop-
ing and praying our parents
would notice.”
The two kids knew they
needed help, but the young girl
hanging off the docks was ever
so quickly losing her grip. Sud-
denly, Robin realized some
loose boards on the bottom of
the docks could be used to prop
the girl up and just as quickly
she moved them into place.
Thanks to Robin and
Matthew’s help the girl was
then lifted to safety, avoiding a
potentially disastrous situation.

Jones, Karwowski
won’t join Durham board
colleagues in Orillia
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Two Catholic school
board trustees and maybe a third say
they will boycott a trustee seminar
being held outside Durham next month.
Oshawa Trustee Stan Karwowski
and north Durham Trustee Fred Jones
say they won’t go to the Feb. 21 to 23
seminar for Durham Catholic District
School Board trustees near Orillia be-
cause it’s a waste of money that is al-
ready in short supply.
Trustee Karwowski motioned at
Monday’s board meeting the seminar
location be moved from the Fern Resort
to a local facility.
“This motion still supports the con-
cept of a trustee seminar...” he began,
“but what this motion does say is no ad-
ditional mileage or accommodation
costs.”
Approving the motion would send a
message to board employees “that we as
trustees are prepared to live by exam-
ple,” said Trustee Karwowski.
Trustee Jones objected to how the re-
treat was organized by board chairman
Mary Ann Martin. “We’ve not been pre-
sented with any costs whatsoever... ob-
viously it’s in the thousands of dollars,”
he said, adding trustees have been con-
sulted on but haven’t seen the agenda. “I
think the costs that will be borne for this
are unwarranted, unnecessary. I think
we can do it in-house.”
A draft agenda was distributed to
trustees at the meeting.
In a recorded vote, trustees Kar-
wowski, Jones and Pickering Trustee
Jim McCafferty voted in favour of
changing the seminar location. Trustees
Martin and Scott Murdock (Whitby),
Fran Pereira (Pickering), Janice Old-
man (Ajax) and Jim Corey (Oshawa)
opposed the motion.
Asked if he would attend the semi-
nar, Trustee McCafferty said he hadn’t
decided yet.
“We’re asking the staff and employ-
ees to do with less and yet we’re going
out of the region,” he said.
Referring to the seminar agenda he
had just received, Trustee McCafferty
noted, “I just found out I’m one of the
facilitators.”
Both Trustee Jones and Trustee Kar-
wowski said they would not attend.
“It would make me a hypocrite,” said
Trustee Karwowski.
Trustee Martin, in an interview, clar-
ified facilitator wasn’t the right word.
Trustees so listed would simply intro-
duce a session presenter, she said.
“In our budget we put aside money,
and we have not used it for the last cou-
ple of years, for trustee professional de-
velopment,” she said.
She denied the cost would be “into
the thousands” and estimated it at about
$300 per trustee. Trustees in the past
have both gone outside the region and
stayed home for seminars, said Trustee
Martin. She said by leaving Durham
trustees would not be vulnerable to the
many small distractions that come with
being at home. She noted the last time a
seminar was held locally just four of the
eight trustees showed up.
She added before the seminar was
decided upon, trustees were asked if
they supported it and then asked what
the agenda should include.
“Everything that’s on that agenda
has been trustee directed,” said Trustee
Martin.
Trustees are to arrive at Fern Resort
Thursday evening. Six sessions are
scheduled for Friday and trustees are
slated to check out Saturday after lunch.
Six of the eight sessions are to be
presented by board staff members.

DRREB statistics also
show Durham Region is the
fastest moving market in the
Greater Toronto Area with
homes selling on average in
43 days at a 97 per cent list-
to-sale-price ratio.
Ms. Mapplebeck expects
more of the same here this
year.
“Even with the talk of re-
cession, all indications point
to the activities of Decem-
ber continuing well into
2002,” she said. “In 2002
the market will continue to
grow. It’s scheduled for
good growth numbers.”
Despite all the good
news on the re-
sale side, new
home sales in
Durham did not
fare as well.
Victor Fiume,
president of the
Durham Region
Home Builders’
Association, said
2001 was a “de-
cent year”, but
new home sales
dropped slightly
from an “excel-
lent year” in
2000.
He said num-
bers were down
in the Oshawa
census metropol-
itan area (CMA),
which includes
Oshawa, Whitby
and Clarington,
and increased
sales in Ajax and
Pickering were
not enough to
offset that drop.
“Increases in
development
charges have in-
creased the price
of new homes,”
he said, noting
the average price
of a new home in
the Oshawa
CMA is approxi-
mately $207,000.
“As a result, first-
time homebuyers
are more attract-
ed to resale homes as op-
posed to new homes. It’s an
unfortunate trend.”
He said the increased
charges have taken away
any “competitive advan-
tage” home builders may
have had from reduced land
prices, meaning they
haven’t been able to take ad-
vantage of the large influx
of new homebuyers entering
the market.
Looking forward through
2002, Mr. Fiume said he ex-
pects sales to dip again, al-
though just slightly.
“We’re very optimistic,
it’s an exciting time to buy a
new home with good deals
and low mortgage rates,” he
said.

PICKERING —Catholic school board
trustees are sticking to the game plan.
At Monday night’s Durham Catholic Dis-
trict School Board meeting, trustees approved a
$2.7-million addition and upgrades to St. Mon-
ica Catholic School in Pickering.
The addition was a component of the
board’s 20-year capital plan, approved a year
ago, and follows additions under way at St.
Isaac Jogues and St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic
schools, also in Pickering and part of the plan.
Pickering Trustee Fran Pereira said adding
more parking spaces, including 10 at the front
of the school, will improve the congested bus
and parent drop-off area and make a big differ-
ence.
“I’ve experienced first-hand the unloading
of buses and the parent drop-off situa-
tion,” said Trustee Pereira. “The extra
spaces are very much needed.”
Architect David Mills told trustees
the school’s four portables and six relo-
catable classroom modules will be re-
moved from the site when the work is
finished, replaced by 10 new class-
rooms.
Mr. Mills said the project has “a
very aggressive schedule” with a De-
cember, 2002 target date for comple-
tion.
The project will more than double the
school’s Education Ministry-rated capacity
from 213 to 433.5 pupil spaces. The addition it-
self will cost $1.8 million,while upgrades to the
existing structure is estimated at $500,000 and
replacing the existing mechanical systems in
classrooms is priced at roughly $318,000.
The school’s central open-plan library will
be enclosed and air-conditioned, flooring in
corridors will be replaced, the asphalt play area
for students and the main office area will be ex-
panded and a classroom is to be converted into
a larger staff room.
Oshawa Trustee Stan Karwowski said he
was “surprised that there has to be improve-
ments in the air-handling system when (it was
only installed) in 1987,” the year the school was
built.
Education director Grant Andrews cited
“changing standards”.
The addition, to begin in early May, will be
built at the south end of the school. Until the
new classrooms are ready for students, 12 tem-
porary portables will be set up at the northwest
end of the school property.

young girls from their families for
wives. Along with her children and sis-
ter in-law, she went to Pakistan to make
arrangements to get out.
Ms. Ashna has a brother who has
lived in Canada for the last 15 years. He
and other close family members finan-
cially backed the move and the United
Church of Canada stepped in and helped
speed up the immigration process.
Reverend Glen Brown, of Dunbarton
Fairport United Church in Pickering,
was contacted by the church’s head of-
fice and asked to lend his support. The
church sponsored the family’s immigra-
tion and helped with paper work.
Rev. Brown went with Ms. Ashna to
immigration offices, helped start them in
English classes and was the first to greet
the family off the flight from Pakistan.
“They helped me to get here. I will
always appreciate it and my children
will always be grateful,” she said. “My
youngest daughter said if she ever won
the lottery she would give it all to the
United Church so they could help oth-
ers, and she really meant it.”
Rev. Brown said he was glad the
church was able to help get the family
out before things got a whole lot worse.
“With the events happening in
Afghanistan we’re delighted they got
here as early as they did,” he said.
Ms. Ashna didn’t speak English
when she arrived, but is easily under-
stood today. She learned through the
English-as-a-second-language classes
she attended with her oldest son. He
continued on with Grade 12 and OAC
credits and entrance exams to the Uni-
versity of Toronto where he now studies
sciences. She said he took classes in
medicine back in Afghanistan and wants
to be a doctor or pharmacist.
“In Afghanistan there is no opportu-
nity to go to school, to get an education.
We didn’t have any future there,” she
said. “Here it is a nice and great life, to
be part of this community and society...
We live in a good situation. Sometimes
it seems hard, but we came from
Afghanistan, nothing is hard for us here.
It’s perfect here. My daughter says to
anyone who thinks it’s hard here they
should spend a week in Afghanistan.”
With her youngest daughter now in
Grade 6, Ms. Ashna had been working
as a teaching assistant with a day-care
program in Scarborough, where she also
lives. However, cutbacks mean her con-
tract was not renewed and she is now
looking for work.
Memories of Afghanistan constantly
surround her and she still has family and
friends living through the trials and
tribulations on the front lines of the war
on terrorism. “I was in the same situa-
tion, I understand how they feel. How
difficult and hard it is.” she said. “They
need a home, safety with their children
under some roof, they need peace. They
need food and a home, but more than
that they need peace.”
When she saw the World Trade Cen-
ter twin towers collapse Sept. 11 and
heard Osama bin Laden was to blame,
she cried for Afghanistan. She wondered
what would happen to the people and
knew trouble would be coming.
She agreed with going after the Tal-
iban but has mixed feelings about all the
bombing forcing innocent people out of
their homes once again.
“More than 22 years of war, that’s al-
ways been the situation,” she said,
adding that even as the Taliban is re-
moved, “There are still so many differ-
ent groups fighting for power. Each
wants power, but peace is more impor-
tant than power.”
She wants her former home to have
an independent government without the
foreign influence that has only helped
perpetuate war in the country. She is,
however, not convinced Afghanistan is
any closer to that today.
“I have hope, but the future for
Afghanistan is not so bright,” she said.

This Ontario Progressive Con-
servative leadership race is look-
ing like a steeplechase in which
all the horses keep falling down.
The Tories, seeking a replace-
ment for Premier Mike Harris,
had hoped the contest would give
their party a much-needed lift,
but instead candidates are tum-
bling over themselves to say
things that offend and alienate
many in their party and the pub-
lic.
In the latest mishap, Deputy
Premier and Finance Minister
Jim Flaherty sought more money
for health from the federal gov-
ernment and claimed it has 7,000
employees delivering health care
to aboriginals.
Mr. Flaherty said the
provinces in contrast have the re-
sponsibility for delivering health
care “to real people in real
towns... that’s where the dollars
should be.”
Mr. Flaherty, who has estab-
lished himself as the most right
wing of the candidates, offended
Native people and others who
were dismayed he would not con-
sider them real people.
Mr. Flaherty apologized and
claimed he was misinterpreted
and had merely tried to point out
Ottawa has a bloated bureaucracy
and should divert some of the
money it spends to the provinces.
A spokesman for him said he
made a poor choice of words.
But he is a top lawyer, articu-
late and used to arguing complex
issues precisely in court, and
many will suspect he said what
he really thinks.
Opposition parties and even
some supporters of other candi-
dates said there is a danger he has
stamped the Tories as racists and
bigots.
The former deputy premier
and finance minister, Ernie Eves,
who is now in big business and
the front-runner for premier, has
raised fears he favours ending the
current system that makes health-
care services available equally to
all, and instead would allow more
affluent residents to pay and
jump queues.
Mr. Eves said it “does not
make sense” residents who can
afford to pay should be refused
the opportunity to use magnetic
resolution imagining (MRI) scans
which provide high-tech medical
diagnoses and are now under-uti-
lized because the Province does
not provide enough funds.
He suggested those who can
pay could use them in the middle
of the night, when he said they
are being used to scan pets, al-
though Health Ministry spokes-
men said this is not the case.
Mr. Eves appeared to be sup-
porting two-tier medicine, which
Ontario officially is against, al-
though that position is under
some strain.
Rival candidates rushed to
condemn him and one, Health
Minister Tony Clement, said On-
tarians would not support paying
individually for medicare and
that Mr. Eves was not adjusting
well to being back in politics.
Mr. Eves then also revised his-
tory by saying he had merely re-
peated an example of concerns
about accessibility to health care
that people raised with him as he
travelled and he favours a single
tier of health care for all.
Mr. Eves is paid $1.2-million a
year by an international finance
company for advising it where to
put its money and it is hoped his
advice on such matters is more
precise.
Mr. Clement, to cite just one
more example, has been caught
having his ministry pay his press
aide, a longtime Tory, $300,000 a
year to help his health policies
appear more robust and boost his
ambition to be leader, which is a
personal matter.
This will remind the public
Mr. Harris’s Tories cut welfare,
social services and environmental
spending drastically, but always
find huge cash for their friends —
Mr. Harris paid another $625 an
hour to write speeches.
Many Tories hoped optimisti-
cally the leadership campaign
would boost their image from
their current 32 per cent in polls
and even give them the option of
calling a quick election.
This would be useful particu-
larly to Mr. Eves, because he
would have to find a seat in the
legislature urgently and might
feel he had a better chance in a
general election, where the focus
would be more on his party’s
record, than in a byelection,
where it would be more on his re-
cent history of having quit for
cash.
But the Tories have failed to
improve their image and their
new leader will have a lot more
work to do.
An early election now is not
even a dream.

It was a blow to those who believe in a worldwide co-
operative effort to harness fusion power when the United
States dropped out of the International Thermonuclear Ex-
perimental Reactor (ITER) project three years ago.
Caught in the whirlwind of American congressional
politics and the desire for a balanced budget, U.S. partici-
pation in the ITER project was eliminated in 1999. Odd as
it seems, U.S. politicians, so eager to be part of the strate-
gic defence initiative (star wars) and its $100-billion-plus
price tag, felt $20 billion for ITER “wasn’t going to
amount to anything”.
That was the assessment of Stephen Dean, president of
Fusion Power Associates, a non-profit umbrella organiza-
tion for U.S. fusion research facilities.
Now, the U.S., perhaps alerted to the instability of Mid-
dle East oil by the American involvement in the war in
Afghanistan or concerned about the viability of its own oil
and gas reserves, is looking at getting involved again in
ITER.
That’s good news for ITER Canada, eager to get its
powerful next-door neighbour involved in time for site se-
lection for the $12-billion, 30-year project. The U.S. would
offer an objective voice in the selection of the host coun-
try, suggests ITER chairman Dr. Peter Barnard. The Clar-
ington site is one of three expected bids, in likely compe-
tition with Japan and France or Spain from the European
Union. The final site decision is expected this summer.
U.S. energy secretary Spencer Abraham, who has the
ear of President George W. Bush, has been lobbied by
Congressional science committee chairman Sherwood
Boehlert to look long and hard at getting back into ITER.
“The current ITER proposal merits consideration... we
do believe exploring the current ITER option makes
sense,” says a November letter by Mr. Boehlert to Mr.
Abraham.
The U.S. offers tremendous scientific expertise in addi-
tion to a potentially significant contribution to funding of
the project. Along with 15 European partners in ITER, in
addition to Japan and Russia, the long-term sustainability
of fusion research would be improved with U.S. help.
After all, America was in the forefront of fission power
development; it may be that the secrets of fusion can be
found without direct American help, but it could only ben-
efit from the superpower’s expertise.
ITER clearly represents the best hope to develop clean,
efficient energy for a world that will eventually run out of
oil and gas. As the population goes from six billion to nine
billion by mid-century, it will be critical that we have glob-
al solutions to our energy problems. We must have the U.S.
as part of the answer.

Want road
hockey peace?
Respect is rule
No. 1
To the editor:
It appears to me the basic po-
lite rules, which allow neigh-
bours the right to not be both-
ered, are ignored by parents and
their children sometimes. The
‘road hockey’ problems show
this.
It’s not that kids can’t play
outside at any games, but they
must be told to respect their
neighbours. If they won’t move
to another spot, then a complaint
to the parents should be dealt
with by the parents explaining
others peoples’ rights to the
child.
Gardens, driveways, access,
etc., must be respected and the
child will grow up a little
smarter if dad or mom tells their
offspring to offer an apology to
the person complaining.
If common sense prevailed
here, tempers cool down and the
police and courts can get on with
their real work while parents do
theirs.
Jan Sullivan
We must
stand up to
United States
on border issue
To the editor:
Are we, one of the most
peaceful nations of the world,
going to let an immoral, pushy
gun-toting neighbour walk all
over us and change our medical
services and resources?
This has been sneaking up on
us for a long time. And now that
they are proposing to have an
armed security border on their
terms, it really terrifies me to no
end.
We are all allowing them to
become the most powerful and
arrogant of countries in the
world.
What do we do about it?
Where do we start? I do not
know. I think we have to elect a
government that can and will
stand up for our beliefs.
Myself, I will not be around
long enough to see too much
change in this, but I am very con-
cerned for the future of my chil-
dren and their children.
Calva Kien
Dollar becoming
real ‘disgrace’
To the editor:
The more I read about the
tumbling Canadian dollar, the
more it seems no one has an an-
swer. Jean Chretien’s reply, “It
will help exports,” is asinine.
The federal government
should treat this problem as the
No. 1 priority and start resolving
it. So many Canadians feel this
decline is a national disgrace.

Murkar residence
John Murkar was principal of Pickering Secondary
School No. 4 for a period of time, after which he ac-
quired an interest in the Pickering News. In 1907,
he became sole owner and publisher of the paper.
After buying the house in 1912, located at 73 Old
Kingston Rd., he moved the newspaper office to the
building directly east of his home. The newspaper
building still stands with the inscription ‘The News’
over the front and side doors. The Murkar house
was built in 1875 and is designated under the On-
tario Heritage Act.

BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
DURHAM — At its federal con-
vention in late November, a coalition
seeking to disband the New Democ-
ratic Party (NDP) and create a new,
more radical, left-wing movement
was narrowly defeated.
However, 40 per cent of delegates
at the convention supported what was
dubbed the new policy initiative
(NPI), raising many questions about
the future of the NDP.
“Forty per cent wanted change, the
Durham NDP wanted change and
we’re not going to go away,” said
Harry McAllister, president of the
Durham NDP Riding Association,
which supported the NPI. “We went
to the convention with great expecta-
tions. Looking for a change in poli-
cies, but that didn’t happen. Many
wanted a new party, a labour-based
social democratic party and the NPI
supported those initiatives, 40 per
cent supported that and I think it was
a shock to the party establishment.”
Mr. McAllister said for his riding
association, a move back to the left-
wing, radical NDP policies of the
past would offer the best opportunity
for the future of the party, and that he
and other local NDP grassroots sup-
porters were disappointed the conven-
tion didn’t go in that direction.
“The NDP set up a body that trav-
elled across the country to inquire
about the direction to head in for the
future of the party before the conven-
tion,” he explained. “They talked to
hundreds of people and their report
showed a majority supported a more
radical party that was anti-globaliza-
tion and anti-privatization. Not one
single new policy came out of the
convention.”
Mr. McAllister said the NDP is the
only party fighting for social change
in Canada, dealing with issues like
globalization, nationalization, redis-
tribution of wealth, and social hous-
ing. He said providing the left-wing
alternative in Canadian politics has
been the strength of the party and
will continue to be.
“The political parties in the centre
and right are crowded and there is
nobody taking up the issues of work-
ing people,” he said. “We have to
take action to keep ourselves a radi-
cal and aggressive worker-based
party.”
Doug Grey, vice-president of the
Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge
Federal/Provincial Riding Associa-
tion, was an NDP candidate in the
1997 federal election and says he un-
derstands the frustration of many
card-carrying members. However, he
doesn’t think a radical change is nec-
essary.
“It’s not like we’re not an effective
party,” he said in an interview follow-
ing the federal convention. “We’ve
held successful governments in B.C.,
Manitoba, and
Saskatchewan.
Let’s not get car-
ried away, it’s not
like we’re going
to be off the map.”
From Mr. Grey’s point of view, the
party is in a good position right now
and will surprise some people down
the road.
“There’s going to be a time when
the public will move back left,” he
said. “In the next five to 10 years the
Canadian people will have to make a
choice: do they want privatized health
care? The only party really interested
in saving health care is the NDP.”
Mr. Grey said he sees both the
provincial and federal government
clearly cutting back on health-care
spending, pointing out the 2001 fed-
eral budget didn’t propose any new
money.
He also said the party has been ef-
fective in an opposition role and al-
though there is always talk of what to
do to get elected, he feels if it re-
mains together, the voters will come
back and there will be an NDP resur-
gence.
“We do need a united left,” he
said. “If people want change we can
change how we work from within
rather than do what the Conservatives
and the Alliance (parties) have done.
In every party there will be differ-
ences. The Liberals have right- and
left-wing members, the Conservatives
have ultra right-wing and left-leaning
members. We need to maintain unity
and remain as one political party,
we’ve got to hold together.”
Mr. McAllister agreed, and said
that despite its support for the NPI,
the focus of his riding association has
become a fight for change within the
party rather than splitting off.
“We’re not going to go away and a
majority has stayed within the party
to work for change. I don’t see a
splintering,” he said. “Many support
our opinions; there is room for
change and there is going to be
change.”
Alexa McDonough easily defeated
lone challenger Marcel Hatch at the
convention to retain leadership of the
Party.
Ms. McDonough garnered 645
votes (84.3 per cent) while Hatch, a
Vancouver graphic designer and co-
chairman of the party’s socialist cau-
cus, received 120 votes (15.7 per
cent). More than 1,200 delegates reg-
istered for the convention, but many
were not present for the vote after the
NPI initiative was defeated one day
earlier. Ms. McDonough’s leadership
has been questioned after the party
won only 13 seats and 8.5 per cent of
the popular vote in the 2000 federal
election. For Mr. McAllister, those
questions remain.
“Our riding thinks Alexa is not
radical enough,” he explained. “She
was not able to come forward and
spell out any new policies at the con-
vention.”
However, Mr. Grey said Ms. Mc-
Donough won
the vote and his
support.
“Alexa McDo-
nough has ab-
solutely done a good job as a leader,
she’s done an excellent job,’” he said.
“It’s very different for her, harder
to get news coverage from the right-
wing press owned by big business;
it’s not balanced. She’s done a good
job, caucus has done a good job, and
they’ve been on top of the issues. I’m
pleased with the leadership.”
And, while the two don’t seem to
agree on leadership, Mr. Grey’s point
on unbalanced press coverage is one
that Mr. McAllister also feels strong-
ly about.
“The press does not give the NDP
a fair shake,” he said. “We recognize
(the press) panders to the corpora-
tions and the advertisers and that is
very difficult to change. There is no
hope that the issues the NDP discuss-
es will be debated in the press and
that’s why we have our own monthly
newsletter sent out to supporters and
people in the riding.”
Labour unions are a big part of the
roots of the NDP, and until now, the
party has selected its leader at con-
ventions through a vote by delegates
with unions awarded 30 to 40 per
cent of the votes.
However, at the convention, dele-
gates endorsed a constitutional
amendment for a partial one-member,
one-vote system to pick the party’s
leaders, reducing organized labour’s
and other special interest groups’ role
to 25 per cent.
Mr. Grey, himself a national repre-
sentative for the Communications,
Energy and Paperworkers Union of
Canada, said the new system strikes a
good balance between the unions and
other party delegates.
“Trade unions put a lot of money
into the party, but some label them as
pinko or communist and a lot of in-
tellectuals don’t connect with that,”
he said. “The upside is the money,
the funds and the support they give.
They have the skills to get people
elected, the broad support and the ex-
pertise. They can’t have too much of
a say and I think a good balance was
struck. The NDP’s roots are with the
labour movement, we don’t want
them to go off and start up a labour
party, and they are a part of the NDP.
They have a role in the party and we
can’t diminish it too much or they
will create a labour party and then we
will be splintered.”
Meanwhile, Mr. McAllister be-
lieves diminishing labour’s role in
any way was the wrong thing to do.
“The decision to restrict labour
input was a mistake. We need to be a
labour-based socialist party and sup-
port from labour is essential,” he said.
“The future cannot be determined by
pandering to the right-wing agenda;
radicalization is the future.”
Although both Mr. McAllister and
Mr. Grey disagree on many of the is-
sues debated on and discussed at the
federal convention, both agree a
change is coming from within and a
united NDP is the only way the party
can return to prominence on the
Canadian political landscape. Now
they just have to convince the voting
public the issues the NDP are fight-
ing for are ones worth talking about.
“At some point your time is going
to come around and your issues will
become more popular,” said Mr.
Grey. “The alternative starts to look a
lot better when the other sides are
moving towards privatizing health
care.
“Our voices are still going to be
heard,” added Mr. McAllister.

Labour unions have long been one of the backbones of the New Democratic Party in Durham and across Cana-
da, a point not lost on Ontario NDP leader Howard Hampton, pictured above at right during the 2001 Lasco
strike in Whitby. The recent federal NDP convention found the party at a crossroads with those wanting to begin
under a new identity, losing out to those wanting to build on current strengths. The federal NDP Web site boasts:

‘R’ you doing all you can?
Renovate, recover,
remodel, return –– the
options are endless
Reduce what you can, reuse
what is possible, and recycle
what remains.
There are lots more ‘Rs’too
— renovate, recover, remodel,
repair, refuse, restore, revamp,
rent, reupholster, replay, rein-
CARnate, and return. All of
these need no explanation ex-
cept perhaps a few: replay
refers to purchasing sporting
equipment or taking unwanted
equipment to second-hand
stores; the ‘reinCARnate’ pro-
gram is a project initiated by
the Recycling Council of On-
tario to ensure old vehicles do
not end up in landfill; and ‘re-
turn’ home with your empty
water bottles etc. for your own
blue box if the public places
you frequent do not have recy-
cling bins in convenient loca-
tions. Also, there should be
more deposit and return poli-
cies.
Sad to say, there are some
not so favourable ‘Rs’.
‘Regressing’ occurred when
some supermarkets and other
stores removed bins that had
received clean plastic film for
use in the manufacturing of
new bags.
Unfortunately, these outlets
found it an inconvenience and
together with their failure to in-
dicate clean bags, the bins
often received contaminates. In
addition, markets for plastic
film are low, therefore, bags
are not collected in the blue
box.
Canadians take home 55
million plastic shopping bags
per week, as well as other plas-
tic film such as bread bags,
plastic film on beverage cases,
plastic around insulation, etc. It
is time this entire industry as-
sumed a stewardship role. In
the meantime, reuse those bags
and acquire cloth bags for all
your shopping needs. Happily,
The Beer Stores and Dominion
Sav-A-Centre in Pickering’s
Amberlea Plaza offer bins to
collect plastic bags for recy-
cling. Sears stores will accept
their own bags.
‘Regressing’ occurs when
there are many university grad-
uates from environmental pro-
grams who are finding it diffi-
cult to find positions in their
fields. Every institution, indus-
try, company, and municipal
office should, by now, have an
environmental services depart-
ment.
‘Regressing’ occurs when it
is hard to find the recycling
logo on greeting cards. “Caring
to send the very best”, should
also mean including a percent-
age of post-consumer content.

ness, become a member of the

During my visit last week at

Guides gave me two more
‘Rs’: remember to respect
Mother Earth. We can ‘rejoice’
if we are able to heal this plan-
et for the next generation.
Here’s a New Year’s resolution:

PICKERING — It wasn’t quite a
golden weekend for Tara Willough-
by, but the local boxer still managed
to bang her way to a bronze medal
despite what she labelled a less-than-
top performance.
The Liverpool Boxing Club prod-
uct and Pickering resident returned
home from St. Catharines recently
with a bronze medal in the light fly-
weight division (48 kilograms) from
the Canadian Senior Boxing Cham-
pionships.
Willoughby lost on points to Mi-
calela Gatto of Alberta, who went on
to stop reigning national champion
Kim Peturson of British Columbia in
the second round.
“She did really well for the limit-
ed bouts she’s had,” said coach Pre-
ston Roberts.
“She boxed the whole three
rounds and went toe to toe.”
But Willoughby, who’s been box-
ing now for almost two years, wasn’t
as content with her performance.
“I’m disappointed,” said the 26-year-
old. “I didn’t box well at all.”
Although she admitted the fight
wasn’t totally one-sided, a lack of
preparation led to a distracted bout.
“My focus was off. I wasn’t think-
ing,” she said.
The club has another national title
hopeful getting ready for action.
Amanda Beaulieu leaves Feb. 13 for
Campbellton, New Brunswick to de-
fend her title in the Intermediate Na-
tional Championships.
Beaulieu received an automatic
bid to nationals as last year’s defend-
ing champ and as the reigning
provincial intermediate ban-
tamweight champ (67 kg).
She won gold at the Ontario
Provincial Open Boxing Champi-
onships in Sudbury last December by
a walkover as her scheduled oppo-
nent forfeited the match.

AJAX — East Side Mario’s
toughed out a close victory over Se-
lect Food Products in Ajax Ladies’
Basketball League action last
Wednesday.
Mario’s overcame a first-half
deficit with some timely intercep-
tions and some fast-break points to
pave the way for a 38-34 victory.
Julie Hughes was the top scorer
for East Side with 11 points; Erinn
Lynch netted 15 for Select Food
Products.
Et Tu Caesar’s made it two wins
in a row with a fine team perfor-
mance en route to a 38-34 win over
the Bank of Montreal.
Caesar’s came out strongly from
the tipoff and never looked in trou-
ble throughout the first half. Despite
playing without several players, the
Bank of Montreal didn’t tire and
came back strongly in the second
half to tie the game. Caesar’s scored
the next basket and, with time run-
ning out, moved the ball around to
score at the buzzer for the four-point
win.
Carol Stephenson had a game-
high 15 points for Caesar’s, while
Barb Armstrong sunk nine for the
bankers.

Pickering actress has star
turn in upcoming movie,
part on Degrassi series
BY AL RIVETT
Staff Editor
PICKERING —Not content to
act at the expense of music, Andrea
Lewis wants her career to include both
her loves.
An accomplished actress who has
just completed a Disney/Family Chan-
nel movie of the week and has a recur-
ring role in the hit series ‘Degrassi:
The Next Generation’, not to mention
being a gifted vocalist who writes and
sings her own material, the 16-year-
old Pickering resident is certain her
promising future will be comprised of
both art forms.
“I’m happy doing both and I would
like to pursue both as a career. Stars
like J Lo (Jennifer Lopez) have been
able to do both, so to pursue both ca-
reers at the same time would really be
great,” says the perky and personable
Grade 11 student at St. Mary Catholic
Secondary School.
Her acting career has blossomed
with a starring role in the Disney/Fam-
ily Channel movie ‘Cadet Kelly’
filmed in and around Toronto last July
and August. The movie focuses on
Kelly (played by Hilary Duff) a high-
fashion kid from Greenwich Village
whose mother remarries a military
man who sends her to a military
school. St. Andrew’s College in Auro-
ra serves as the backdrop for the mili-
tary school. There, Kelly meet An-
drea’s character ‘Carla Hall’ who be-
friends her.
“I hang out with her and show her
the ways of the school,” explains An-
drea. “I tell her what to do and what
not to do. However, Kelly doesn’t take
the school too seriously.”
The Disney film took two full
months of work, but it was a lot of fun
throughout, says Andrea, who notes
she was the only Canadian involved in
the project. “Basically, I told them
about Toronto and what would be
fun.”
‘Cadet Kelly’ is expected to air on
the Family Channel in Canada in
March.
On ‘Degrassi: the Next Generation’
Andrea landed the recurring role of
‘Hazel’ the best friend of ‘Paige’
(played by Lauren Collins) one of the
main characters on the series featuring
teens who attend the fictional ‘Degras-
si High’. The current series updates
and builds on its predecessor ‘Degras-
si High’.
“Paige and Hazel are like a crime
duo. They want to know everybody’s
business. They’re real gossips,” she
says, adding Hazel “is the opposite of
me. I’m not a gossip at all.”
Her character ‘Hazel’ appears in
four episodes of the current season,
says Andrea, but she could become a
regular on the series next season. That
would be fine with her, as there is
great camaraderie among the teen ac-
tors on the series, shot in Scarborough.
“It’s a lot of fun working with the
kids. They’re a really good bunch,”
says Andrea.
Acting has been a part of her life
since age 1 when she was part of a Mr.
Christie cookie commercial. Followed
by many more commercials, Andrea
got her first break in 1997 when au-
thor Maya Angelou cast her as ‘Cas-
sandra’ in the U.S. movie ‘Down in
the Delta’. A number of other roles
followed, including the movie ‘A Hol-
iday Romance’ starring Naomi Judd
and playing a teenaged Natalie Cole in
the docudrama network television
movie ‘The Natalie Cole Story’ in
2000. She also guest starred on the
U.S. HBO TV series ‘Soul Food’
based on the movie by the same name.
She played the role of ‘Bridgette’.
As for her music career, Andrea
will travel to New York City where she
will record a four-song demo of her
own songs.
She hopes to distribute the work to
U.S. record companies.
“Definitely, I would like to get a
recording deal at the end of it,” she
says.
Andrea has been singing since age
five and continues to take vocal
lessons. She feels it’s important to be
not only a singer, but also a song-
writer.
“Definitely, being a songwriter is a
key facet of being successful in this
business. I definitely want to do it as a
profession.”

45,000 Canadians. That’s five times the
number of people who die from car accidents,
murder, suicides and alcohol abuse combined.
What’s even more tragic is every tobacco-
related sickness and death could have been
prevented.Smoking is Canada’s #1
preventable health problem.
Over 45,000 deaths a year is
unacceptable. It has to stop.
The Government of Canada is taking strong
action to address Canada’s #1 preventable
public health problem. Over the next five
years, we will invest $530 million to reduce
smoking in Canada.
Health Canada has a simple, three-part plan:
• Keep young Canadians from starting
• Help more smokers quit
• Raise awareness of the dangers of
second-hand smoke
Our plan goes beyond just providing
information. It offers real solutions. For real
results. And whether you smoke or not,
you can be part of the solution.

DURHAM —It’s been a gold rush on ice of
late for the Durham West Lightning Nokia atom
‘BB’rep hockey team.
On the heels of their recent gold-medal victory
at a tournament in Kanata, the Lightning came
through with another golden effort at the recent
Whitby tournament, winning 4-0 in the final over
Clarington.
The game remained scoreless until late in the
second period when Katie Carroll scored from
Kirsten Orrett. The atoms took charge in the third
as Kathleen Crandles scored twice, assisted by
Stacey Damiani and Laura Waters. Carroll finished
the scoring, assisted by Orrett.
Orrett was named the tournament’s most valu-
able player. She recorded seven points in four
games.
Durham West opened the tourney with the 5-1
win against Clarington. Sarah Stephen scored
twice, while Stephanie Fraser, Tiffany Allen and
Damiani added one apiece. Orrett registered three
assists, Carroll had two and Darija Davidson and
Fraser chipped in with one apiece.
Another strong third period by the Lightning
paved the way to a 4-0 victory over Aurora in
Game 2. After scoring late in the second, the atoms
struck for three more in the third to ice the win. The
third game also followed this trend with the Light-
ning posting a 3-0 win over London.
Scoring in the Aurora and London games were
Allen and Damiani each with two, Fraser, Orrett
and Stephen with one apiece. Assisting were
Davidson, Carroll and Crandles each with two,
Tasha Akai, Orrett and Fraser with one apiece.
Throughout the tournament, the Lightning were
anchored by the solid defensive work of Lee-Ann
Murphy, Amy Johnson, Cati Taylor, Nikki Akai
and Waters. Cailey McCallum earned the shutouts.
Gary Akai, Keith Meldrum and Mary Jane
Allen coach the team. Patsy Crandles and Pat
Stephen are the team’s trainers and Peter Murphy is
the manager.

PICKERING — The first News Advertiser
Classic is set to tip off Friday, Feb. 1.
Eight of the top senior boys’ basketball
teams in the Greater Toronto Area will con-
verge on St. Mary Catholic Secondary School
for the two-day tournament, sponsored by the
Ajax and Pickering News Advertiser.
Competing on the hardwood will be the Wil-
frid Laurier Collegiate Blue Devils, Etobicoke
Collegiate Institute Rams, Mother Teresa Ti-
tans and Sir Oliver Mowat Golden Gaels, all
from Toronto, Waterloo Collegiate Vikings, the
Glendale Bears from Hamilton, Lincoln
Alexander Lynx of Mississauga and the host St.
Mary Monarchs.
Monarchs coach and tournament co-ordina-
tor Mike Gordensky said the high calibre of
clubs involved should make the event an enter-
taining showcase.
“All the teams are quite good,” noted Gor-
densky, whose team is 16-5 overall on the sea-
son. “Lincoln Alexander is a ranked team (in
the GTA) and we played Waterloo Collegiate
last week and we lost by five in the final of
their tournament. Laurier and Mowat are also
strong teams.
Gordensky wouldn’t predict how his Mon-
archs would do in the tournament, although he
said the strong competition should help his
charges get ready for the Lake Ontario Sec-
ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) playoffs
next month.
“I want us to play some good competition,
which I hope will prepare us for the playoffs.
It’s good to play good teams from Toronto and
see where we fit in and how we stack up against
them,” he said.
All teams will play three games during the
tournament, with the first-round winners mov-
ing into the championship bracket and the first-
round losers relegated to the consolation brack-
et.
Action gets under way Friday morning with
Mowat vs. St. Mary at 9 a.m.; Laurier and
Mother Teresa play at 10:30 a.m., followed by
Waterloo vs. Etobicoke at noon. The final first-
round game pits Glendale vs. Lincoln Alexan-
der at 1:30 p.m.
Championship and consolation champi-
onship games will be played Saturday, com-
mencing with the consolation final at 5 p.m.,
followed by the championship matchup at 8
p.m.
Spectators are welcome to attend the event.

What does it mean exactly when the “Check
Engine” warning light comes on?
When the “Check Engine” indicator comes on
and stays on it means that the vehicle’s on-
board computer (commonly called Electronic
Control Module, or ECM) has detected a
problem with one of the emission control
systems it monitors. This could be a minor
problem but it could also be serious.
Prevention is better than the cure
The main purpose of the “Check Engine”
warning is to protect the engine, the air quality of
our planet, and ourselves. If those problems
related to the “Check Engine” light are not
looked at as soon as possible, other costly
problems could occur.
Let’s say for instance that one of the cylinders
operates without sparks: the unburned gasoline
will cause premature wearing of the piston by
diluting the thin oil film on the cylinder wall
necessary for proper lubrication. Also, this
unburned fuel will ignite inside the catalyst and
raise its temperature thus causing irreversible
damages. A minor cause of warning would be
an improperly tightened gas cap. In this case,
OBD II would detect gas fumes leaking out of
the fuel tank. More than a hundred malfunction
codes may turn on that warning light.
But if problems are properly identified and
quickly fixed, your vehicle will produce less
emissions, your engine will have a better
performance, and you’ll save on gas.
In some instances, the replacement of
emission control parts are guaranteed beyond
the manufacturer’s standard time period. The
catalyst in your 1998 Chrysler Caravan being
guaranteed for 8 years or 130,000 km is a good
example. So remember to check your
manufacturer’s guarantee on those emission
control parts.
You should know that the on-board computer
keeps a record of the time the indicator light
went on. That way, if you forget to make any
needed repair on your vehicle, and your
carelessness causes some important damages,
your guarantee could be voided.

Spring is a couple of months away and a
time when the trusty paintbrush, level, ham-
mer and drill are taken out of hibernation. Soon
will be gone are the days of holiday hustle and
bustle, and warmer weather breathes renewed
energy into cabin-crazed homeowners.
Here are some simple tips on decorative
ideas that won’t take much time but will have
a big impact:
• Say it with colour — Nothing can trans-
form a room or the outside of a home faster
than a change of paint color or a dramatic dec-
orative accent, like bed linens in a bold shade.
Also, neutral colored walls can be paired with
several different colored accessories to change
the look of a room upon a whim.
• Create a focal point — Aroom without a
focal point can look bland or too busy. Choose
a central item, like a painting, piece of furniture
or interesting wall covering to tie the room
together.
• Make a splash with pattern — Dress up
a bed with a plaid quilt, turn a hallway into a
decorative masterpiece with sponge-painting
on the walls and investigate floral toiles on
everything from curtains to chair covers.
• Look to resources for inspiration —
Consult home decorating magazines, your
local newspaper, cable programming and more
for clever ideas you may never have thought to
consider.
• Avoid the clutter — One of the easiest
ways to give a room a new look is to ensure
that is it neat and orderly. Invest in attractive
storage units, shelving, armoires and toy chests
to keep the mess at bay.
