From one mess to another
York fails to sway
Pickering trustees
Board
opposes
pipe plan

DURHAM —Pickering
Catholic trustees haven’t changed
their mind about the proposed
water pipeline in the City despite
assurances given by a York Region
official during a presentation Mon-
day night.
To meet its long-term water
needs, York is proposing a water
pipeline that would take Lake On-
tario water off the Pickering shore-
line through a pumping station at
the Petticoat Creek Conservation
Area and up Whites Road through
an underground tunnel.
Durham to pay $480,000 for services study
Region, municipalities seek methods to eliminate duplication
BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Durham coun-
cil has granted pre-budget ap-
proval for the continuation of a
Region-wide services review.
Councillors voted Wednesday
to retain the consulting firm De-
loitte and Touche to undertake
the second phase of the Who
Does What (WDW) services re-
view. The total cost for part two
of the study is more than
$480,000.
The review is considering
ways of eliminating duplication
and cutting costs in public works
services across Durham.
The first stage, completed last
May by consultants Wood-Sloan
Inc., outlined the current situa-
tion regarding service delivery
and presented options to stream-
line services. The second phase is
expected to take up to six months
to complete and will outline the
financial implications.
The Region has agreed to
cover the costs of the study but
has asked for a commitment from
its member municipalities to take
part in the discussions.
The motion was approved
without any discussion at council
Wednesday.
However, when the issue was
addressed at the finance and ad-
ministration committee Tuesday,
Durham Chairman Roger Ander-
son said the Region has to move
forward with the study despite
the fact he’s been told Oshawa
won’t be on board.
Oshawa Councillor John Gray
told his colleagues his council
won’t make that decision until
this coming Tuesday. That’s also
when Pickering council will vote
on their participation.
But, Mr. Anderson said, the
Region needs to move on regard-
less.
He noted Durham, together
with seven of its eight member
municipalities, is “trying to find
efficiencies and savings for mu-
nicipalities and our biggest as-
sessment base is saying we don’t
want to play... the Region has to
say let’s move on with this... God
forbid we might come up with
something that would work.”
ROGER ANDERSON
‘God forbid we might come up
with something that would work.’
GERRY EMM
A ‘clear indication there is
savings with this discussion.’

Ilmar Simanovskis, pro-
ject manager in York’s water
and wastewater branch, out-
lined the project in detail at
the Durham Catholic District
School Board meeting.
He said 80 per cent of the
earth to be removed in build-
ing the pipeline tunnel would
be removed by rail along the
CN line that borders the con-
servation area. The rest would
be taken by truck either to
Hwy. 401 or Taunton Road,
translating into a 29-per cent
increase in truck traffic north
of the highway and an 11-per
cent jump south of the high-
way.
“This is primarily to mini-
mize the traffic impact within
the urban area of Pickering,”
said Mr. Simanovskis.
Pickering Trustee Fran
Pereira said the presentation
touched on many of the con-
cerns raised previously by
trustees and answered a num-
ber of questions. “I appreciate
the fact that they have opened
up the books,” she said.
Catholic trustees, includ-
ing those from Pickering, two
months ago motioned for the
Education Ministry to either
stop the project or ensure
other options were examined
due to concerns about the im-
pact on students.
Pickering Trustee Jim Mc-
Cafferty, who made that mo-
tion, wasn’t swayed by the
presentation. “I’d like to
study it a little longer,” he
said. “But at least it’s more
information than we had be-
fore.”
Trustee McCafferty said
he remained concerned about
increased traffic generated by
the project. He has said it will
have a significant impact on
local schools, since motorists
trying to avoid Whites Road
will use side streets where el-
ementary school kids are
walking to school.
Mr. Simanovskis said
York might not even proceed
with the pipeline in Picker-
ing, since they are also look-
ing at an option in Peel Re-
gion. Debbie Korolnek, di-
rector of York’s water and
wastewater branch, said a de-
cision on the Peel option
would be made by mid-June.
But, if the Pickering
pipeline was to proceed, and
Mr. Simanovskis said provin-
cial approval could come as
early as the fall, York has al-
ready addressed many con-
cerns with “enhanced mitiga-
tion measures” totalling
$22.5 million.
He said York, based on the
results of a traffic study,
would only remove soil for
haulage from Bayly Street to
Hwy. 401 between 10 a.m.
and 2:30 p.m.

Nitrous oxide
suspected
in college
chemical spill
DURHAM —A chemical spill
that forced the evacuation of
Durham College last Friday is being
treated as mischief by local Durham
Region Police, who have no suspects
in the case.
The noon-hour spill sent four of
the 30 people assessed on scene to
Lakeridge Health Oshawa for further
examination.
Firefighters and ambulance crews
arrived at the college after a report
that an unknown substance had been
splashed on the wall of an A-wing
classroom.
The situation was stabilized by
approximately 2 p.m., but the Gor-
don Willey building remained closed
for the rest of the day.
The remainder of the college, in-
cluding the student residence, the
Simcoe Building and the Student
Centre were unaffected.
Although fire officials cannot
confirm the nature of the chemical, a
Durham College spokesman said
there is a strong suspicion it may
have been nitrous oxide, a gas used
as an anesthetic in dental surgery.

6 Mistakes To Avoid When
Moving to a Larger Home
This report is courtesy of Bill Papizzo, Prudential Achievers Realty. Not intended to solicit properties currently listed for sale.

AJAX/PICKERING - A new report has
just been released which identifies the 6
most common and costly mistakes that
homebuyers make when moving to a
larger home.
Unlike the experience of buying a first
home, when you’re looking to move-up,
and already own a home, there are
certain factors that can complicate the
situation. It’s very important for you to
understand these issues before you list
your home for sale.
Not only is there the issue of financing
to consider, but you also have to sell your
present home at exactly the right time in
order to avoid either the financial burden
of owning two homes or, just as bad, the
dilemma of having no place to live during
the gap between closings.
In answer to this issue, industry
insiders have prepared a free special
report entitled “6 Mistakes to Avoid When
Moving Up to a Larger Home.”
The information contained in this report
will help you make informed choices
before you put your home on the market
in anticipation of moving to a larger home.
To hear a brief recorded message
about how to order your copy of this
FREE report, call 1-877-722-0181 and
enter ID#1007. You can call anytime, 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.

know to make your move up to a larger

Durham Region has officially
taken the Adams Mine proposal off
the table and will now begin search-
ing for a new
landfill site.
Councillors
voted Wednesday
to rescind their
earlier decision to
send Durham’s
garbage to the
Adams Mine in
Kirkland Lake,
which is the first
step towards be-
ginning the search
for an alternate
landfill site for the
Region’s trash,
says Durham
Chairman Roger
Anderson.
Mr. Anderson
reports Durham
will now issue a
request for pro-
posal (RFP) to
find out what op-
tions are available
to meet the Re-
gion’s needs.
“Hopefully as
a result of the RFP
process (the Re-
gion achieves its
goals),” he said
following
Wednesday’s
council meeting.
Council sup-
ported a plan in
principle last fall
to partner with the
City of Toronto in
the Rail Cycle
North proposal to
ship its garbage
by train to Kirk-
land Lake. But,
the City of Toron-
to has since re-
ported the plan
won’t proceed.
However,
Pickering Mayor
Wayne Arthurs
suggested the Re-
gion should con-
sider holding off
on its decision to
rescind the mo-
tion on the Adams
Mine option until
an alternate pro-
posal is found.
“I’m not con-
vinced it’s ab-
solutely dead with
the City of Toron-
to,” he said.
Meanwhile,
Peter Watson,
Durham’s manag-
er of waste, said in
a recent interview
that staff believes
it’s time to move
on.
Mr. Watson re-
ported the initia-
tion of an RFP
this year will en-
able the Region to
explore opportu-
nities for diver-
sion, by including
in the RFP the so-
licitation of pro-
posals for proven
diversion technologies as well as
new and emerging technologies and
energy-from-waste facilities.
The Region also authorized staff
Wednesday to negotiate a one-year
extension to the contracts with the
current haulers to continue trans-
porting residential waste to the
Keele Valley Landfill site until the
end of 2002 when the site is slated
to close. Councillors also supported
a proposal to close the Cartwright
Waste Management Facility elimi-
nated a policy that allows residents
to dispose of up to 100 kilograms of
solid waste per day — at no cost —
at the Region’s waste management
facilities. Users will see the drop-off
charge for disposal at those facilities
increased from $2 to $5.

Pay now or later
for policing
To the editor:
Re: ‘Police are playing catch-up
with budget,’ editorial, April 1.
I am a member of the Durham
Regional Police and work as a
frontline uniform officer at the
Ajax/Pickering Division. I have
been a police officer for 15 years.
I would like to open your eyes
and the public’s eyes to our plight
regarding manpower, the public’s
safety, our safety and the region’s
future.
We as a service are under-
staffed and have been for years.
Every division, uniform and de-
tective office, is working at mini-
mum manpower on a daily basis.
Officer safety is a constant
issue.
Due to recent major events
such as the murder of an Ajax
man and the recent killing of a
Pickering mother and daughter,
the major crimes offices have sec-
onded officers to work on these
cases, therefore leaving fewer per-
sonnel to respond to emergency
calls.
If this region experiences one
more major event such as a homi-
cide or shooting, our investigative
units will be stressed to the limit.
Compared to other regional
services our size, we are under-
staffed and do not have the types
of specialized squads in place to
investigate the serious crimes that
are becoming more and more
common in the region (gang vio-
lence, street robberies and drugs,
along with traffic fatalities and
traffic-related problems).
As a service, we are experienc-
ing what used to only happen in
Toronto. That is, officers leaving
for other services that are paying
better and where they can live for
less. Also, officers are retiring on
a constant basis. Our officer-to-
citizen ratio is not adequate.
Oh, and by the way, we have
not had a contract since 1999. We
are currently in arbitration with
the Durham Police Services
Board. We do not expect to have a
settlement until mid- to late-sum-
mer. We are presently the lowest-
paid police service in the GTA, if
not the province.
Remember, the men and
women on the front lines are
doing the best we can to combat
rising crime in a rapidly growing
area. Policing is not a money-
making business. Unfortunately it
costs money, and as we all know,
you truly do get what you pay for,
policing included.
The region can pay a little
more now, or a lot more later. You
decide!
David Hookway,
Pickering
Prospective college students aim-
ing for post-secondary employment
can do no better in Ontario than
Durham College. You can look it up.
For the second straight year
Durham has reigned supreme among
stiff competition across Ontario with
a whopping 94 per cent of its grads
finding a full-time job within six
months of graduation from the col-
lege.
Furthermore, 91 per cent of em-
ployers contacted said they were sat-
isfied with the educational prepara-
tion of the Durham grads they hired.
Those A-plus numbers are gratify-
ing to Durham College president Gary
Polonsky, the man at the helm over
the past decade. “We’re very pleased.
If you were to ask most students why
they go to college, they can sum it up
in a three-letter word, the j-word.”
A clear focus on employment after
graduation has made Durham stand
out from the crowd. And that proven
track record should help the college as
it continues to push for full university
status and a dual role as college-uni-
versity all in one campus.
Finishing No. 1 on the Province’s
key performance indicators will likely
land the college a funding bonus sim-
ilar to the $500,000 it received a year
ago.
While it’s a drip in the bucket of a
$94-million annual college budget,
it’s welcome nonetheless. Last year’s
winnings were used to establish an In-
ternet job-posting site for Durham
students, an excellent endeavour.
In his quest to push for improve-
ment, Mr. Polonsky says he will de-
mand better communication, more
timely interventions and more fre-
quent followups with employers. The
best way to keep Durham grads on the
hiring line is to make sure employers
are happy with their performance.
Current students and recent grads
weren’t quite so bullish about the col-
lege. Only 80 per cent, still a high
number, of current students rated their
overall educational experience and
job preparation at Durham as satisfac-
tory. And 83 per cent of new grads
were satisfied with their education
and job preparation. The goal of the
college will be to try to push those
numbers over the 90-per cent level.
The overall fine performance of
Durham is paying off with increased
numbers of students attending the col-
lege each year. Enrolment has jumped
a whopping 9.2 per cent over the past
two years, making Durham a clear
choice for college-bound students.
Mr. Polonsky may have the answer
for the school’s popularity and peak
performance: “The main reason why
we do so well is we take nothing for
granted and we do a lot of continuous
quality improvement.”
With an attitude like that, we can
only expect bigger and better things
from Durham College in the future.

EDITORIAL
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
It’s all about jobs, and
Durham’s got them
College continues to prove it’s up to the
task, but not ready to rest on its laurels
When I first moved to Whitby al-
most seven years ago, I had no idea
our home was only a 10-minute drive
from Lake Ontario. In fact, it was
several months before I ventured
south enough on Brock Street to dis-
cover it. Having been in love with
the Great Lakes all my life, you can
imagine how thrilled I was to be so
close.
I found the marsh there, with its
tremendous variety of water fowl to
watch and enjoy. And Heydenshore
Park, which, thanks to the Kiwani-
ans, had been made most attractive
and fun, (except for the portable toi-
lets, which have since been re-
placed). I felt it was too bad the Mc-
Graw-Hill building had been posi-
tioned there on prime land but at
least it seemed to have been de-
signed to blend in with its surround-
ings.
At the same time, I couldn’t help
but notice other things that were very
unattractive to the eye: the decrepit
brick building adjacent to the water
plant; the large, unkempt parcels of
land with ‘No trespassing signs’ and
rusty fence; the dredging machines
and cranes; the pier with all its seag-
ull droppings; and the beach, cov-
ered with stones that still make walk-
ing and swimming difficult.
Since my original visit, the Rotar-
ians have created Sunrise Lake Park
with its welcoming gazebo, and the
Lions a promenade, both helping to
make the area more beautiful and
hospitable.
Unfortunately, with the lower
lake levels of the past couple of
years, one can’t help but see all the
garbage in the marsh and how it has
virtually become an ugly mud flat.
On drives to other communities
situated on this and other nearby
lakes especially Ajax, Cobourg,
Newcastle and Port Perry, it’s been
impossible not to notice just what
can be done to enhance a waterfront.
In the meantime, what has Whit-
by done with its space lately? It has
approved the construction of another
company, Intervet, on a second at-
tractive piece of land and allowed
new housing adjacent to the Cran-
berry Marsh where only a small
number of people can afford to live.
Seeing how few and slowly im-
provements have been made in this
whole area in the last seven years, I
can’t help but wonder if Whitby’s
waterfront will ever look as appeal-
ing as that of other towns to the east
and north of us.

I n the studio of his Courtice home,
Tim Dolighan fondly remembers
being kicked out of class during his
high school days in Montreal.
That’s because his artistic penchant for
characterizing his teachers in less than
flattering ways was the foundation for
making him one of the hottest editorial
cartoonists in the country.
Today, he has more than 60 papers in
his stable including Metroland’s This
Week and News Advertiser on the local
front and large daily newspapers such as
the Toronto Sun.
The 34-year-old teacher recalls those
days when he would get the boot from
class, fueled by the laughter of classmates.
Even his teachers, although not always
pleased, knew he had talent and encour-
aged the teen.
“They always kept the drawings,” re-
calls the award-winning cartoonist.
Today, there are a few politicians who
would like to send Dolighan to the princi-
pal’s office.
“One time I had John O’Toole (Durham
MPP) come up to me and say that I forgot
to put the E on the end of his name on a
cartoon. I told him ‘No, I didn’t (forget).’”
Despite sharp political satire, he still
gets regular requests from politicians to
purchase his work or even to meet in per-
son.
“I was supposed to meet Paul Martin,
but he was delayed because of a snow
storm. He had a bunch of my cartoons on
the wall.”
‘One day people are
going to realize how
good he really is.’
GLEN WOODCOCK,
TORONTO SUN
Dolighan studied at Wilfrid Laurier
University, received his teacher’s degree at
York University and masters at the Univer-
sity of Ottawa.
“I really wanted to be a professional
hockey player,” he says.
He played university hockey and hoped
to play pro overseas, but numerous injuries
later he realized that goal wouldn’t pan
out. So, in 1990 he joined his dad’s phar-
maceutical company and began a career in
sales.
“My dad offered me $32,000 the first
year because he says that’s about what I
would have made if I had played hockey in
Germany. I guess he did a lot more re-
search on the subject than I did.”
His father gave him two lessons back
then. The first was a background in eco-
nomics and second, the realization he did-
n’t want to be in sales the rest of his life.
His first teaching job was a Grade 3
class at Monsignor Phillip Coffey school.
Two years later he landed a high school
position at Denis O’Connor in Ajax, where
he continues to teach part-time.
“It was much better,” he says. “I love
little kids, but I can really communicate
with the older kids.”
With his teaching career in full swing,
Dolighan found time to explore his artistic
side once again.
While those he knew hounded him to
draw caricatures for $10 a piece, he soon
realized his knack for drawing and wicked
satire were the two main ingredients for a
whole new career.
“I put two and two together and realized
you could make money doing this.”
His first gig was with the Port Perry
Star, but he soon made a move to attract
the attention of the large Toronto dailies.
He submitted the same cartoon to both the
Toronto Sun and the Toronto Star with
both newspapers running his work on the
same day. A phone call soon followed.
“I told him that wasn’t the way,” says
the Toronto Sun’s Associate Editor Glen
Woodcock.
He told Dolighan sending his work to
papers outside the Toronto daily market
was fine, but he couldn’t continue to feed
his work to the competition.
His little faux pas worked out as the
Sun offered him a deal for the Toronto
daily market. Dolighan now runs regularly
in the Sun and has become a go-to-guy. He
gets into the story.
“He can certainly draw and he’s funny,”
says Woodcock. “I go to Tim when I need
something that’s not in the files. I can e-
mail him a story and what I always get
back is great.”
And if Dolighan has one weakness it’s
that he occasionally misspells words.
“I don’t know any cartoonists who can
spell,” says Woodcock. “He’s a teacher but
he’s quick to point out he doesn’t teach
English.”
Nothing is taboo. As a Catholic educa-
tor, neither the school system or the church
can’t hide from his sharp pen and even
sharper wit.
“If I think the teachers’ union is acting
idiotic then I call it.”
In a recent sexual assault case regarding
a priest Dolighan inked a cartoon targeting
the ‘old hear no evil, see no evil, speak no
evil’ theme.
Although admitting he had no interest
in politics in university it now consumes
him.
On the radio, television and newspapers
he takes in as much information as possi-
ble without being overloaded or sleeping
on the couch. But his quick wit helps him
deal with the increasing demands.
In his studio, Dolighan says he will
draw a rough sketch of the editorial car-
toon, then apply in pencil before inking the
final product.
The walls of his office are surrounded
by his work, framed cartoons, golf greet-
ing cards with golf being the main motif of
his working space.
Between teaching and drawing he might
not have as much time as he’d like to break
out the clubs. Dolighan draws about 10-11
cartoons a week.
“I’ve done seven in one day.”
Not easy for the father of Shanna, 2,
and Caili, 4, although his wife, Mary,
wears many hats, including office manager
and critic.
Some of the country’s top cartoonists
like Terry Mosher of the Montreal Gazette,
Patrick Corrigan of the Toronto Star and
Andy Donato of the Toronto Sun have
been very helpful with their advice and as-
sistance, he says.
Going to cartoonist association meet-
ings has also helped Dolighan determine
just exactly what the job entails.
One of the best pieces of advice he re-
ceived was from Corrigan who assisted the
younger cartoonist with lettering.
“At the time I was still writing in bub-
bles.”
He’s come a long way in a short amount
of time, but his honed sense of humour and
artistic talent are opening new doors each
day.
Those who know him are sure of it, es-
pecially Woodcock.
“One day people are going to realize
how good he really is.”
WALTER PASSARELLA/ News Advertiser photo
News Advertiser cartoonist Tim Dolighan doesn’t let the fact he is a Catholic
school board teacher keep him from poking fun at both the church and the educa-
tion system when he thinks they deserve it. Although he has been cartooning a rel-
atively short time, Tim now appears in over 60 newspapers nation-wide and has
won many awards for his work -- most recently for a cartoon depicting Ontario
Premier Mike Harris and Education Minister Janet Ecker and their conflict with
the Province’s educators.

A coalition of environ-
mental groups is calling for a
full federal environmental as-
sessment (EA) and public
hearing on the Province’s
proposal to extend Hwy. 407
through Durham Region to
Hwy. 35/115.
Members of the Better
Transportation Coalition, the
Green Party of Ontario, the
Markham Environmental Al-
liance and the Friends of the
Rouge Watershed held a
news conference in Markham
Thursday to call on the feder-
al government to get involved
in the process.
“The key point we’re say-
ing is (the eastern extension
of) Hwy. 407 has been an en-
vironmental disaster in terms
of its (impact) on the Rouge
and Duffins Creek water-
sheds,” said Jim Robb of
Friends of the Rouge Water-
shed in an interview prior to
the news conference.
The federal government
gave the highway extension
into Pickering the green light
last April. The toll road is ex-
pected to open sometime this
fall. Members of environ-
mental groups argued the fed-
eral government’s decision to
allow that portion of the ex-
tension without referring the
project to the federal environ-
ment minister for an indepen-
dent panel review was a mis-
take.
And, they want to ensure
there is a greater opportunity
for debate on the next phase
of the highway, which they
fear will lead to air and water
pollution and urban sprawl.
“We need a full federal
EA and public hearing so we
can arrive at a better balance
in terms of our transportation
(needs),” Mr. Robb said,
maintaining “we need to shift
our priorities to more public
transit and less highways.”
The Province announced
at the end of February it is set
to begin a needs study and
environmental assessment on
a Hwy. 407 extension
through to Hwy. 35/115. The
studies are expected to take
between 12 and 14 months.
Mr. Robb reports the
Province conducted a full EA
for the Hwy. 407 east partial
extension to Brock Road in
Pickering but didn’t hold a
public hearing on the expan-
sion, adding, “We want to see
a balanced outcome here.”
He maintained the federal
EA is necessary to ensure
“better environmental protec-
tion and public accountability
and smart growth versus
urban sprawl”.

A government tax auditor
charged with trying to murder
his wife agreed to undergo psy-
chiatric testing during his court
appearance yesterday in Os-
hawa.
Peter Hart, 52, of Clarington,
was arrested Friday at his Dar-
lington Street home in Burketon,
north of Bowmanville, after po-
lice responded to a 911 call
shortly after 6 a.m.
Durham Regional Police said
his 43-year-old wife was struck
in the head with a baseball bat
and stabbed with a knife follow-
ing an argument at the couple’s
residence.
Family members found the
victim bleeding heavily and she
was rushed to Lakeridge Health
Bowmanville.
Police described her injuries
as serious but not life-threaten-
ing, and she was listed as stable
yesterday.
“I’m told her condition is
rapidly improving,” said Inspec-
tor Ross Smith of the Clarington
Community Office.
The couple’s three children
were home during the incident.
Police seized a baseball bat and
knife.
Mr. Hart has been charged
with attempted murder, aggra-
vated assault and two counts
each of possession of a danger-
ous weapon and assault with a
weapon.
Handcuffed and wearing or-
ange, prison-issued clothing, Mr.
Hart appeared calm but dishev-
elled during an appearance be-
fore Ontario Court Justice Greg
Regis.
During the 20-minute pro-
ceeding, assistant Crown attor-
ney Greg O’Driscoll and de-
fence lawyer Paul Greenway
jointly requested a court-ordered
psychiatric assessment to deter-
mine whether Mr. Hart is fit to
stand trial and criminally re-
sponsible for the crimes alleged.
The tests will be conducted at
the Whitby Jail, where the feder-
al government employee is cur-
rently being held.
Judge Regis imposed a publi-
cation ban on all evidence heard
during the court proceeding.
Outside court, Mr. Greenway
said the assessment is necessary
“to explore any mental health
and alcohol issues, in terms of
(his client’s) level of responsibil-
ity.”
Mr. Hart will be back in court
next Tuesday.

Police call it property de-
struction; hard-core tagger
‘Resik’ likes to think of it as
landscape beautification.
Artwork or eyesore, regard-
less of your view, beauty is in
the eye of the beholder, in this
case the property owner.
“Graffiti is not to destroy.
We’re just bringing some colour
to every day life, adding a layer
of colour to the surface. Some
guys do it for the destruction,
but the real ‘writers’ do it as an
expression,” maintains Resik
(not his real name), a 16-year-
old local high school student.
“It’s about our culture. It’s
deeper than what people think.
It’s not just about grabbing a
can of paint and putting a name
on a wall... There’s a history of
graffiti.”
Resik, which was the signa-
ture or “tag” he used to identify
his street drawings, was among
several Durham youths charged
in the spring in connection with
a six-month, spray-painting
spree in the region’s west end.
The leading member of the
“Can Rockers Crew” admitted
to his colourful crime wave and
pleaded guilty July 11 in Os-
hawa youth court to 15 counts
of mischief to property under
$5,000. He will be sentenced
next month.
“It’s like an addiction. I was
on a high for a while. I just
couldn’t stop,” Resik says of his
recent graffiti binge.
“It’s just a feeling you get,
like an obsession. You get a vi-
sual in your head and then paint
it on this huge wall,” says
Resik, who boasts drawing the
“fourth largest illegal painting
in all of Canada,” a 98-foot
mural under a bridge.
The arrests, which also in-
cluded members of the Red Eye
Bandits, the tag for another
group of youths, were part of an
investigation by the street crime
unit in response to what police

Curves Invites Women to
Shape a Physically Fit Lifestyle
Thirty minutes three
times a week is all it takes
to build a healthier, happi-
er lifestyle.
Curves for Women,
which opened in
Pickering, Oct 16th is one
of the fastest growing fit-
ness franchises in North
America. On average, two
new locations open every
day.
Curves is a unique con-
cept in the exercise service
industry. It provides an
exercise facility and weight
loss counseling in the same
place.
Company founder Gary Heavin says,
“We are the first to create a strength train-
ing program designed for women. Since
strength training protects muscle and
increases metabolism, our women have
reason for hope of permanent results with-
out permanent dieting, for the first time in
their lives.”
The Quickfit Circuit is a system of exer-
cise that alternates hydraulic resistance
machines with aerobic recovery stations.
There are 16 stations that tone every muscle
in the body and target women’s problem
areas, such as the tummy, thighs, hips and
arms. With conventional equipment, they
need an hour and a half. Under the Quickfit
System, it only takes 30 minutes.
This 30 minute total workout, which is
based on physiological research, burns as
many as 600 calories. Because women are
moving fluid rather than
weight, it’s safe for any
age or condition.
When you diet alone,
40 percent of the weight
you lose is muscle.
Muscles are the engines
of our bodies that require
fuel. If you drastically
lower your body’s energy
needs each time you diet,
you will always gain your
weight back. The key to
permanent results is lean
muscle. When a woman
loses 20 pounds with us, it
is entirely body fat.
Strength training protects and increases
lean tissue, and raises metabolism.
Older people lose lean muscles due to
inactivity and are often afraid of injuries.
With the Quickfit System they can enjoy
the benefits of strength training without
fear of injury. Studies have shown that
rehabilitation can be achieved more safely
using hydraulics, rather than weight stack
apparatus. These same studies have shown
that bone density is markedly increased,
thereby lessening the chance of bone frac-
tures even in the face of diminishing estro-
gen levels with age.
We see this as preventing health prob-
lems before they occur, rather than treating
them. It keeps women from getting to a
point where they need treatment.
Call (905) 421-9550, Monday to Friday, to
set up an appointment, and view the
Curves facility.

Z-Art Gallery,
owned and operated
by Michael Jaensch,
has been in business
for over ten years now.
Originally located in
Pickering Village the
first Z-Art was
destroyed by fire in
September 1991 when
the entire strip mall in
which it was located
was engulfed. But
Michael is a persistent
man and his dream was
not destined to die in a fire.
Z-Art re-opened at Dixie
Road, Pickering and flour-
ished. Last year we expand-
ed to our present larger loca-
tion located at 1822 Whites
Road, in the Amberlea Plaza,
Pickering.
Michael invites all
past, present and future cus-
tomers to drop into the store
and see our display of hand
wrapped canvases. This form
of framing involves seamless-
ly wrapping a liner with cus-
tom chosen material that
matches in colour, texture and
style the canvas being
framed. The frame, carefully
chosen to co-ordinate with
the liner, is applied along
with a matching fillet.
The end product makes
for a distinctive and
imaginative décor piece
as well as enhancing the
canvas. Michael is
proud to provide this
very personal style of
framing.
If it is quality framing
at an affordable price
that you want - Go to
the experts. Z-Art has
been framing limited edi-
tion art and originals for
over a decade. Our friendly
staff with combined experi-
ence of 20, 15 and 5 years
respectively is imaginative,
knowledgeable and eager to
provide the best customer
service possible. Don’t leave
your expensive and irreplace-
able pieces to an amateur. We
know our business and we
are proud to stand behind it.

Rosebank Villa Offers
Fine Retirement Living
The original building on a picturesque
site in southwest Pickering was built by
a Scottish settler in the 1800’s --- it was
later to become a tourist destination
known as Rosebank Station. Historical
accounts relate to the days when trains
stopped either to deliver or gather
patrons of the hotel.
Reflecting changing times,
Rosebank Station was initially renovated
into an apartment dwelling then in the
50’s licensed as a 40-bed nursing home
and f inally in 1980 turned into the
renamed Rosebank Villa Retirement
Residence.
To truly appreciate the tranquility
and beauty of the property which is a
stones throw from Lake Ontario and
shares a border with the Petticoat Creek
Conservation Area, a visit is in order.
While the three story building has many
cozy, old-fashioned touches, it also
provides all the modern necessities and
all rooms come complete with private
washroom facilities, pine beds and
matching pine furniture.
Upon approaching the front
entrance- way spanned by an awning
embossed with the Rosebank Villa logo,
one would revel in the beauty of
landscaped gardens surrounding a
uniquely designed interlocking stone
patio. Residents and families spend
many a moment here while surrounded
by the sound of whispering pines and
birds gleefully chirping as they enjoy the
bird feeders situated throughout the
garden.
Specially designed black wrought-
iron fencing encases the patio and
extends to the wheelchair ramp
accessing the spectacular 20 x 40 foot
deck and gazebo. French doors placed
at this end of the building make easy
access to the deck from the main floor.
The ground floor dining room is
tastefully fur nished with oak pedestal
tables and chairs adorned with matching
placemats and quilted chair cushions
which gives the room a quaint country
charm. Along with our baby grand piano
the room is graced with silk flowers,
white lattice work and warm pine

Following are the new
movie releases being
screened at cinemas this
weekend in Ajax and Pick-
ering:
JOSIE AND THE
PUSSYCATS (Starts
Wednesday, April 11)
Starring Rachael Leigh
Cook, Paolo Costanzo,
Tara Reid, Alan Cum-
ming, Rosario Dawson.
Directed by Deborah Ka-
plan, Harry Elfont.
Josie (Rachael Leigh
Cook), Melody (Tara Reid)
and Val (Rosario Dawson)
are lifelong friends from
Riverdale determined to
take their band out of the
garage and into the stratos-
phere — while staying true
to their own look, style and
sound.
The look’s not trendy,
but they don’t care.
Neither is their sound,
but they mean every word
they sing. And, when no-
body shows up at their
gigs, they understand real
musicians have to pay their
dues.
Unfortunately, the
Pussycats live in a world
where trends change every
week, and labels, status
symbols and brand names
rule.
One day everything
changes. Josie and the
Pussycats are ‘discovered’
by hotshot manager Wyatt
Frame (Cumming), who
presents them to
MegaRecords CEO Fiona
(Parker Posey) as the next
big thing.
Fiona lives for the next
big thing and instantly po-
sitions Josie and the Pussy-
cats for success beyond
their wildest dreams. With-
in days, they have the num-
ber-one single in the coun-
try, everyone is wearing cat
ears, and they are swarmed
when they walk the city
streets.
They look amazing, and
their calendars are filling
with recording sessions,
photo shoots, MTV tap-
ings, concerts and parties.
But soon they learn all is
not as it seems.
Fiona and Wyatt have
devised a high-tech scheme
to control the youth of
America through sublimi-
nal messages in songs —
their songs.
When the girls begin to
grasp this, ruthless Fiona
and Wyatt prepare to divide

THE ADVENTURES OF
JOE DIRT (Starts
Wednesday, April 11)
Starring David Spade,
Gary Busey, Kid Rock,
Dennis Miller.
Directed by Dennie Gor-
don.
He’s the wrong person,
at the wrong place, at the
wrong time.
Joe Dirt is a janitor with
a mullet hairdo, acid-
washed jeans and a dream
to find the parents he lost at
the Grand Canyon when he
was a belligerent, trailer
park-raised eight-year-old
boy.
Now, blasting Van Halen
in his jacked-up economy
car, the irrepressibly opti-
mistic Joe hits the road
alone in search of his folks.
As his wandering, misguid-
ed search takes him from
one hilarious misadventure
to another, Joe finds his
way to Los Angeles, where
a shock jock brings Joe on
his radio show to insult
him.
But as Joe’s life story
unfolds, jeers turn to
cheers, and an entire capti-
vated city tunes in to hear
the adventures of Joe Dirt.

BRIDGET JONES’S
DIARY
Starring: Jim Broadbent,
James Callis, Colin Firth,
Hugh Grant, Renee Zell-
weger.
Directed by Sharon
Maguire.
At the start of the new
year, 32-year-old Bridget
decides it’s time to take
control of her life and start
keeping a diary.
Now, the most provoca-
tive, erotic and hysterical
book on her bedside table
is the one that she’s writ-
ing.
With a taste for adven-
ture, and an opinion on
every subject — from exer-
cise to men to food to sex
and everything else in be-
tween — she’s turning the
page on a whole new life
for herself.

Expires April 30th, 2001
On April 19 one of our long time
employees will be leaving our
company. Wes Hore has been with
us almost from the beginning. He
has graduated from school and is
going into business with his Dad’s
company HOREWOOD
RENOVATIONS. Actually it is
really a family affair with the Hore
family and the Pickering Dairy
Queen.
Wes ’ mother Donna is one of our
senior store managers and heads up
the cake department. So many
customers have commented on the
quality and especially the creativity
of the cakes we produce in this
store and Donna is responsible for
much of that. She was responsible
helping design our unique
sweetheart cakes at Valentine’s Day
(which many other DQ’s adopted in
their stores) as well the bunny cakes
we sell in abundance at Easter. Her
3D cakes are one of our most popular sellers
and there aren’t too many custom pictures
that our customers bring to Donna that she
can’t recreate in our cake department. Not
only that but Donna is an expert with colours
and her airbrush creations are also very
popular.
Also Wes’ father Al does most of the
renovations in our store and HOREWOOD
RENOVATIONS was responsible for
restoring our store to pristine condition once
our new play center was installed. His work
with ceramic tile was particularly impressive.
He was also responsible for the installation
of our new patio and a lot of custom wood
work.
However Wes’ leaving will truly be a bitter
sweet time for Sherry and I. We are so happy
that the courses he took in school will now
be used in his dad’s business. Wes even won
an award of excellence at school in his
chosen field. Excellence is really the key
when describing Wes. He began in hot food
and then progressed swiftly to front counter,
shift leader and finally an assistant manager.
He was one of our best and his work ethic
was one that others modelled themselves
after. Our hope is that Wes will be able to
apply the things he has learned in school to
his new job. We also hope he will be able to
apply the things he learned here in the five
years he worked for us. Wes you are going to
be missed. We will show our appreciation in
other ways but I just want to let you know
that your employee discount is good till the
end of the year! We just want to give you an
excuse to come back and visit us! All the
best from Sherry and I.

Music is a simple pleasure but a
complex creation. It’s a creative journey
that begins with a vision shaped by sound.
Jim Morgan is an award winning
producer and composer who has worked in
the music industry for more than 30 years.
Starting in the commercial jingle
business in Toronto he worked for many
major studios including RCA where he was
their Chief Engineer.
He’s won a Juno award for engi-
neering the 1998 recording of Faith Chorale
and received four Juno nominations for
albums produced in 1999. Jim also received
an Emmy award for audio production for
the cartoon series “Beetlejuice”.
He has worked with many artists
including Jeff Hyslop of Phantom of the
Opera fame, David Warrack, Moe Koffman
and Guido Basso.
After many years working in
the city, Jim created Acrobat Music
and built a state of the art recording
studio in his Pickering home.
This impressive facility is
always busy and currently has book-
ing through June.
“Our business has increased
10 times since we started in 1984,”
says Jim.
While professional musicians
and singers take advantage of Jim’s
talents and his superior studio, he
also offers studio time for those want-
ing to make an individual song recording as
a gift or just for themselves.
As a special musical note, Jim’s
partner Rena Gaile performs every
Thursday night from 7 to 10 p.m. at the 180°
Restaurant.
For more information about
Acrobat Music call (905) 420-8625 or visit
their website at www.acrobatmusic.com.
Candy Bouquet’s delicious gifts
please the eye and tickle the tastebuds.
“It’s a gift that’s fun to give, fun
to receive and fun to eat,” says owner
Warren Dawson.
He describes a Candy Bouquet
as wonderful sweets, cellophane and
clever trinkets combining to create a
bright, colourful and very unique floral
type arrangement.
“We make our bouquet with
gourmet candies, gum and the finest
chocolates from around the world,” he
says. “The result is a bright presenta-
tion of fun and whimsy. A gift giving
solution for any occasion.”
Each arrangement is made by
hand so no two are alike. This way
they can be customized for any occa-
sion.
Warren has designed gifts for
special days such as Mother’s Day,
Father’s Day, Easter and on April 25th,
Secretary or Professional
Administrative Assistant Day.
Here are 10 reasons to give a
Candy Bouquet: Customer
Appreciation; Employee Awards;
Business Thank Yous; Retirements; Get
Well; Employee Transfers; New baby;
wedding; charitable events and sales
closings. Of course there are many
more reasons.
You can arrange an appointment
to see a variety of displays by calling
Warren or his wife Paula at (905) 427-
2862 or cell (905) 706-3116. You can
visit Candy Bouquet’s website at
www.candybouquet.com. Also ask
about their weekday specials
Warren says he wanted to start a
business that would be profitable and
fun and discovered the Candy Bouquet
franchise offered both.
“It’s been very exciting and fun
to see the joy that our customers get
from both giving and receiving the
bouquets,” he says.

tains, the badlands to the south or
the wilderness of our northern
rivers,” Mr. Curtis added. “We can
access most rivers by road and
once we are on the river we’re in
semi-wilderness and wilderness.
You see things you would never
see by road or trail.”
Jeff Wilson, who has been
guiding Voyageur canoe trips for
more than 20 years on Alberta’s
North Saskatchewan River, says
visitors always comment on “Al-
berta’s wide-open spaces and the
quiet and serenity they experience
on the river. They love the custom
approach we take to the trips and
our private campground. We’ve
taken all the things people dislike
about camping and made them
into positives. We offer showers, a
covered fire pit, a sauna and great
meals.”
Guests come to relax on their
holidays, get some intellectual
stimulation, soak in some local
culture and “stretch the envelope
just a little”, Mr. Wilson said.
“They don’t have to fight the pad-
dle. Some choose to just float and
enjoy the scenery and wildlife.
Others like the fast water and we
can offer them bigger water in
these large stable canoes than they
could experience in a smaller
boat.”
Many guides share some fur
trade history, tell stories of the
Voyageurs, and point out Alber-
ta’s unique flora and fauna as the
trips unfold.
“The Voyageurs were a proud
group with an interesting history,”
said longtime canoe guide and
historian Neil Usher. “There are
many colourful stories and some
sad ones. They worked 18 hours a
day, slept on the rocks under their
canoes and portaged back-break-
ing loads across tough terrain.”
Most Voyageurs worked for
the Northwest Company, the Hud-
son Bay Company’s rival, and
brought trade goods into remote
settlements and furs back to East-
ern Canada all via rivers and
lakes.
“They were really the hippies
of their day. They had very little
responsibility. They weren’t the
oldest boys in their families be-
cause the eldest inherited the fam-
ily’s land. They weren’t the tallest
either. If you grew over five-foot-
four or so there was no possibility
of being a Voyageur because you
would take up too much room in
the canoes,” said Mr. Usher.
Alberta’s rivers — the North
Saskatchewan, the mighty
Athabasca, the Peace, Bow, Red
Deer, Hay, and many more —
transport visitors through some of
the most varied and spectacular
scenery in the world. The Rocky
Mountains are legendary for their
rugged peaks.
Alberta’s heartland is simply
serene — blessed with golden
prairies, grassy foothills,
sparkling rivers and rural charms.
The south impresses with its nat-
ural and cultural wonders reminis-
cent of America’s Grand Canyon.
The north is just another word for
wild, rugged and remote.

Paddle into Alberta’s colourful fur trade history
BY ELAINE DAVIDSON
Special to the News Advertiser
Picture this: Six men paddle in uni-
son on a pristine river banked by deep
forest.
They grin in anticipation of the
white water ahead skilfully guiding the
canoe loaded to the gunwales with Eu-
ropean trade goods. The brightly
dressed Canadian Voyageurs break
into a traditional song and plunge into
the rapids. It’s a moment out of Alber-
ta’s rich fur trade history.
Now picture this: The same pristine
river, the same wilderness, a Voyageur
canoe made from an original mould
skilfully guided by a costumed guide.
The canoe is loaded with a gourmet
picnic lunch, binoculars and cameras.
French-Canadian Voyageur songs are
optional. The party beaches at a re-
mote camp. Passengers head to the
showers, the sauna or to relax in the
dining tent with a glass of wine. Today,
Voyageur canoeing is a unique way to
experience some fascinating Canadian
history brought to life while enjoying
some of the country’s most spectacular
scenery all in relative comfort.
While historians debate just how
romantic and exciting or harsh and dull
the life of a Voyageur in the 1650s to
the late 19th century truly was, there is
no doubt modern-day Voyageur canoe
trips and excursions offer relaxation,
learning, and fun. Trips can range from
a one- or two-hour gentle sightseeing
paddle to a 15-day custom-designed
expedition.
“We take visitors from all over the
world onto the same big rivers plied by
the fur traders,” said canoe guide
Idamay Curtis. “Our rivers here are
unique. They tend to be faster moving
and rocky, which makes for great
white water.”
Mr. Curtis goes on to say the 32-
foot-long, five-foot-wide Voyageur ca-
noes are safe, stable and steer well.
“Some of our visitors enjoy the
thrill of the white water,” said Mr. Cur-
tis. “Others prefer a leisurely paddle
on our more sedate rivers and lakes.
On a Voyageur canoe trip you are not
required to have any paddling experi-
ence. In fact, many of our passengers
don’t even lift a paddle and many of
the trips are suitable for those in
wheelchairs.”
Suggestions for tamer trips include
a two-hour paddle on the Athabasca
River in Jasper that passes by Pyramid,
Signal, Edith Cavell and Tekarra
Mountains. Another two-hour glide
takes guests from Banff through Can-
more and into Kananaskis Provincial Recycle!A lone canoe plies the water of Lake Herbert in Alberta’s Banff
National Park.

PICKERING —Pickering’s
Perdita Felicien is on top of the
world.
The University of Illinois hur-
dler posted the best time in the
world this year after winning the
100-metre hurdles event at the
74th annual Clyde Littlefield
Texas Relays at the University of
Texas in Austin.
The Pine Ridge Secondary
School graduate won the event in
a sizzling 12.95 seconds, which
equalled the time she posted in
Friday’s preliminary round.
Moreover, she’s the number-
one ranked collegiate hurdler in
the U.S. this sea-
son and her time
was the second
fastest time ever
posted in the
event in Univer-
sity of Illinois
history. The
fastest time at the
university also
belongs to Feli-
cien —12.91 —
set last year as a
freshman at the
National Colle-
giate Athletic As-
sociation
(NCAA) 2000
Outdoor Track
and Field Cham-
pionships.
She also par-
layed her excel-
lence at the
Texas Relays
into an automatic
berth at this
year’s NCAA
Outdoor Track
and Field Cham-
pionships.
But, that’s not
the only accolade for Felicien of
late.
For the third time this year,
the Canadian Olympian has been
named the Big Ten Conference’s
athlete of the week for women’s
track and field.
The award came on the heels
of another outstanding perfor-
mance when she won the 100m
hurdles event in her outdoor
debut March 31 at the Tom
Tellez Invitational Meet at the
University of Houston.
There, she ran a National Col-
legiate Athletic Association pro-
visional qualifying time of 13.19
seconds. A provisional time
means she has met the minimum
qualifying standards for the
NCAA outdoor championships.
The sophomore at the Cham-
paign, Ill. campus was the na-
tional runner-up in the 60m hur-
dles during the indoor track and
field season.
NOTES:Ajax’s Krissy
Liphardt,representing Purdue
University of West Lafayette,
Ind., finished third in her heat of
the 100m hurdles in 13.79 sec-
onds. Her time, however, wasn’t
fast enough to get her into the fi-
nals.
