Two attacked, robbed during late-night walk AJAX — Two men were assaulted and robbed by a group of youths after they were asked for a cigarette while walking on Bayly Street early Sunday. Durham Regional Police said a 20-year-old Toronto resident and a 21-year-old Ajax man were walking near Monarch Av- enue just before 3 a.m. when they were approached by their attackers. A confrontation ensued and the victims were robbed of a small amount of money and a gold necklace. One victim suffered a chipped tooth and facial injuries after being punched, while the other was shoved, police said. The attackers were spotted a short time later throwing rocks at a nearby car dealership. Police were called to the area and arrested one person, who was released without being charged after questioning.

Pickering keeps talks at bay Governments working to upgrade Frenchman’s Bay harbour entrance PICKERING —If the funding is secured and the ap- provals granted, Frenchman’s Bay could have a new harbour entrance within the next two years, says a Pickering council- lor. City councillors and staff met with federal and provincial officials Friday to begin discus- sions on how to best move for- ward with a project to improve the entranceway into the bay. “There was a very strong level of interest from all parties present to move this forward,” said Ward 2 Regional Council- lor Mark Holland following the meeting, which was also attend- ed by representatives from the Pickering Harbour Company, the Frenchman’s Bay Yacht Club, Swan’s Marina, the Toronto and Region Conserva- tion Authority (TRCA) and the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). “There was a recognition this is a project of a great deal of sig- nificance in terms of the com- munity and the economic bene- fits,” Coun. Holland said. Coun. Holland reported the restoration is necessary to im- prove the entrance to the bay be- cause it is currently difficult for boaters to navigate due of the high levels of sedimentation. He said the channel needs to be widened and reconfigured in a way that will reduce the sedi- mentation. He added a plan for the pro- ject has been submitted to the DFO, which would have to grant an approval for the restoration to proceed, as would the TRCA. Coun. Holland noted a deci- sion was made Friday to form a committee responsible for spearheading the project. In ad- dition, he said Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker and her federal counterpart, MP Dan McTeague, are going to look into the criteria that needs to be met to secure provincial and federal funding for the project, which would likely cost about $2 million. “Clearly both representatives were very supportive of moving forward,” Coun. Holland said, noting the restoration of the en- trance is “a project we’d want to see happen within the next two years. “The bay used to have 1,500 boats in the summertime,” Coun. Holland said, noting there are only a couple of hun- dred boats in the bay now. “The current state of the en- trance is having an obvious im- pact.” Kayaker disappears on Frenchman’s Bay Scarborough man discovered missing following dragon boat practice PICKERING —Durham and Toronto police were to continue searching French- man’s Bay today for a Scarbor- ough man presumed drowned after he went missing during a weekend outing. Philbert Verayo, 35, was among a party of 16 kayakers on the water Sunday, all mem- bers of the same dragon boat racing team that was practising on the bay in Pickering. He did not return to shore in the after- noon with the rest of the group. “It’s really slow going,” Durham Regional Police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik said Tuesday afternoon of a search by police divers that began Monday. “The visibility is next to zero, so they have to feel their way around.” Family members used binoculars to monitor their progress from Beachpoint Promenade. They did not want to speak to the media. Sergeant Malik said when the kayakers returned to shore Sunday and began packing up, they noticed Mr. Verayo was missing. They re-entered the water and searched for about an hour before calling police around 2 p.m. “Our information is that he was not familiar with kayaking Police divers searched Monday in zero visibility for kayaker Philbert Verayo, who didn’t return from an outing on Frenchman’s Bay on Sunday. ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo New crossing to offer pedestrians, cyclists direct route across creek PICKERING —With the Millennium Square and Trail now open at the foot of Liver- pool Road, the City is preparing for its next major project on the waterfront, says a local council- lor. Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan reported the tender for the Petticoat Creek Crossing, a bridge over the mouth of the creek, will likely be awarded by council at its Aug. 7 meeting, with construction slated to begin in the fall. “It’s an exciting project,” said Coun. Ryan, noting it will create a direct route across the water for pedestrians and cy- clists using the waterfront trail. “It’s a nice straight bridge with minimal impact on the en- vironmentally-sensitive areas,” said Coun. Ryan, who added the tenders are all in for the project. He would not comment on the anticipated cost. The bridge, which will be- come part of Pickering’s water- front trail system, has gone through several different de- signs since the idea was first proposed, Coun. Ryan noted. “We’re very pleased with the design,” he said. “The big difference is in- stead of going down the hill closer to the creek, we now have a bridge that spans the whole ravine.” Pickering resident David Steele, who chaired the water- front task force that recom- mended the bridge be built, said he’s looking forward to seeing the project approved. “It’s another major connec- tion for the waterfront,” he said, noting the crossing will be “high enough (over the creek) so you can look down at the wetlands and appreciate the beauty of it all”. The bridge, which will be erected about 10 metres above the water, is expected to be open next summer. DAVE RYAN ‘It’s an exciting project.’ New system, new name for transit service AJAX —The unofficial name is about to become offi- cial. The board overseeing a merged transit system has se- lected the name Ajax Pickering Transit Authority (APTA) for the new service. More than 100 entries were submitted in a public competi- tion to rename the new system. A draw was held for the 20 entries suggesting the winning name and Dex Tao of Toronto received the $250 prize. Ajax resident Gopal Dua, a professional designer, won the $250 prize for the new logo. Mr. Dua’s entry was profession- ally rendered, but there were others that were good hand- drawn entries, Pickering Re- gional Councillor and board co- chairman Maurice Brenner noted. “It was fun to see the entries, which came from people of all ages, including some students. But we liked Gopal’s use of the ‘A’ and ‘P’, and how he com- bined them to create a cross- roads,” Coun. Brenner added. The new logo will be un- veiled Sept. 4, the first official day of operations for the merged system. MARK HOLLAND ‘This is a project of a great deal of significance.’ See POLICE page 2 Pickering moves to bridge Petticoat gap skills, not a strong swimmer and ap- parently did not have a life-jacket,” he said. The red kayak the man was op- erating and his paddle were found Sunday in reeds on the west side of the bay, as was a shoe. “We’re assuming it’s his shoe,” said Sgt. Malik. Durham and Toronto police, the City of Oshawa Marine Rescue Asso- ciation, the Pickering Fire Depart- ment, and York Regional Police have all taken part in the search. Sergeant Malik said dive team members say rising water tempera- tures will in turn heat the body and soon cause it to float to the surface, if it is still in the bay. The search was to continue today. BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —A second crack- down by police and correctional offi- cers on offenders serving house arrest sentences in Ajax and Pickering found 25 per cent weren’t home. During the late-night blitz, offi- cers from Durham Regional Police’s 19 Division — covering Ajax and Pickering — and members of the local parole and probation office con- ducted door-to-door checks July 20 and found five of 20 convicts current- ly serving conditional sentences weren’t at home, said Sergeant Bruce Townley. The first night of enforcement, earlier this month, found six of 18 of- fenders required to be in their resi- dence under court-imposed curfews or conditional sentences, were not home. In fact, police have since found out one offender recently sold his house and moved away. The man did- n’t leave a forwarding address, Sgt. Townley said. “He’s disappeared, gone. He sold his house in south Pickering and moved out in early June,” he said. Robert Rozak, 42, formerly of Tatra Drive, is wanted for being un- lawfully at large. Judges can impose conditional sentences as an alternative to jail if the court is convinced the convict does not pose a danger to the public and the principles of sentencing can be satisfied. The terms of a conditional sen- tence usually include a form of house arrest. Convicts caught breaching their conditional sentence can be ordered to serve all or a portion of the balance of their sentence in jail. Sgt. Townley said the people checked as part of the current “pilot project” were serving conditional sentences for crimes ranging from sex offences, to robbery, drug import- ing, trafficking, hit-and-run, fraud and possession of stolen vehicles. Those breaching their terms are usually “out with friends”, Sgt. Townley. “It’s not a shock to be honest... (The rate of breaches) is frustrating as a police officer. In our opinion there’s little respect for the court or- ders.” The majority of the 11 offenders arrested for breaching were denied bail pending hearings, which are usu- ally in front of the original sentenc- ing judge. He said police and correctional of- ficials in the Ajax and Pickering area plan to continue the enforcement pro- ject on a long-term basis and hope to increase the number of checks.

How can I tell if a slightly bent wheel is the cause of the vibration? ANSWER: A competent technician would first road test the vehicle at highway speed to duplicate your vibration concern and isolate the fault to be either the front or rear wheels. A vibration felt in the steering wheel would indicate a fault in the front of the vehicle, whereas a vibration felt in the seat would indicate a fault in the rear of the vehicle. After the road test, the concern would now be narrowed down to two of the four wheels. In order to isolate the suspect wheel from the two remaining wheels, a balance check of the new tires would be the first course of action, then secondly, choosing one of the two wheels, the tire must be removed and the wheel mounted on an electronic wheel/tire balancing machine. Then a precision measuring instrument called a “dial indicator” that enables one to measure in increments of one thousandths of an inch is utilized to measure the concentricity of the wheel and how true the wheel runs laterally. When the wheel is rotated on the wheel balancer spindle past the fixed dial indicator, the needle on the dial indicator will deflect noticeably to indicate the extent of the warp or bend in the wheel if present, even if the anomaly is not visibly apparent. Your technician will be able to more easily detect the wheel causing the vibration by using this method, allowing for a speedy correction and a smoother ride! ANSWERED BY, VICTOR LEE, SATURN, SAAB, ISUZU OF PICKERING VOLVO • HONDA • TOYOTA • SATURN • SAAB • ISUZU • CHEVROLET • OLDSMOBILE • CADILLAC • ACURA Ajax-Pickering Hospital Foundation combined with Centenary group BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer AJAX — The hospitals merged long ago and now the fund-raising foundations have done likewise. The foundation at the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre and its counterpart at the Cen- tenary Health Centre in Scar- borough have combined to be- come the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation. “It’s better to go with a stronger entity to take to peo- ple who can help us with the campaign,” said Nancy Maxwell, new foundation head. “If you’re going to ask for $1 million, a stronger enti- ty is better than two smaller ones.” She noted the Province or- dered the two hospitals to merge, but allowed the foun- dations to remain separate. “The boards voted on this. It was felt the best way to go to raise funds for both sites,” Ms. Maxwell said. A foundation office will re- main at both sites, and she added the Ajax and Pickering office “will probably be en- hanced with more people to staff it.” While there is one founda- tion, anyone can still make a site-specific donation, she said. “Definitely. It’s one of the things the Ajax and Pickering foundation was most con- cerned about, for people look- ing at giving the funds, not only individual donors, but service clubs also,” Ms. Maxwell stated. “If they want to give it to a specific founda- tion or specific site, it goes to that site. Legally, we’re oblig- ated to do that, to fulfil any donor’s wishes.” She added foundation members don’t feel either site will lose identity with the con- solidated foundations. “We don’t feel that’s going to be a problem,” she said. “There are two very specific sites. Ajax and Pickering is very definitely a local hospi- tal. It will always have an identity on its own. In the fu- ture, we could be bigger than the Scarborough site, with growth in the community. “It’s a very positive step for all concerned.” Under the banner of the Vital Links Campaign, a fund- raising effort is going to be launched, probably early next year, she said. The Vital Signs Campaign for the communities of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby has a goal of $13.7 million, while the Vital Investments Cam- paign for Centenary has a tar- get of $20.3 million. “It’s two distinct cam- paigns combined under the Vital Links Campaign. Each site has its own campaign,” said Ms. Maxwell. For the Ajax site, the cam- paign would go to improve a number of different areas, in- cluding the emergency depart- ment. “It’s probably a five-year campaign,” Ms. Maxwell esti- mated.

The addition, featuring a 28-bed secure unit designed to accommodate older adults with advanced de- mentia and mental illness and a 30-bed continuing care home is being built at the Village Retirement Cen- tre on Valley Farm Road. “Ontario is committed to providing seniors with the best possible care in their advancing years,” said Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker, who took part in the ceremony at what’s known as the La- fontaine Lodge Long-Term Care Facility. “These specialized units will be of particular benefit to residents afflicted by more than a lack of mobili- ty.” The lodge is one of many long-term care facili- ties across the Greater Toronto Area that are under construction as part of the Province’s $1.2-billion multi-year investment in long-term care. The Ministry of Health reports a total of 823 new long-term care beds have been allocated to Durham Region for development by 2004. The Lafontaine Lodge project is slated for completion in June 2002. “Lafontaine Lodge Lim- ited is proud to be develop- ing these new long-term care beds as part of Com- munity Nursing Home at the Village Retirement Cen- tre in Pickering,” said Brian Bradley, president of Com- munity Lifecare Manage- ment Inc., in a news re- lease. “Today’s announce- ment celebrates our pledge with the government to make these facilities open and accessible to every- one.” P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 1, 2001 Please Recycle Me!

Beginning Aug. 7, the passenger service centre will be open weekday mornings and a little later in the evening, said Deanna Wilson, admin- istrative support co-ordinator. She said the move was prompted by a passenger survey the City con- ducted in the fall. “There was quite a bit of demand for service in the morning rush hour,” said Ms. Wilson, who noted morning rush-hour passengers often have five or 10 minutes to kill before their train arrives. As a result, the service centre will be open Monday to Friday between 6:30 and 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. It is currently open weekdays from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. In addition to selling bus tickets and monthly passes, Pickering ser- vice centre staff are available to pro- vide bus route and schedule informa- tion.

The insights were provided be- cause some with legal rights de- manded them and not because the Progressive Conservatives volun- teered to tell the public more inti- mate details of how they do their jobs. At least a couple emerged from a public inquiry into the cause of contaminated water at Walkerton suspected of killing seven people. The Tories may claim they set up the enquiry because they were happy to have their workings scrutinized, but pressure from the opposition parties and public made it inevitable. The Harris government had cut spending on environmental pro- tection drastically and one major issue is whether this caused or contributed to the deaths. Brenda Elliott, Mr. Harris’s first environment minister, said during questioning that she sub- mitted a confidential plan to cabi- net that stated her ministry could cut costs, but warned its ability to monitor and assess environmental change would diminish and risk to human health and the environ- ment might increase. The government went ahead with the cuts, but made public a document that did not mention the risks because it wanted to build a positive image of its environmen- tal policy, not exactly the candour expected from Mr. Harris, who boasts he makes tough decisions and tells the truth even when it hurts. Ms. Elliott said also a $30-mil- lion cut in her ministry’s budget was imposed on her by cabinet, a highly unusual admission because ministers in normal circumstances do not reveal what goes on in cab- inet without its approval, take the position its decisions are unani- mous and made by a team, and do not divulge anything that might show any minister dissented. Mr. Harris had more views he would have preferred kept secret exposed to public gaze because the family of Dudley George, an aboriginal shot dead by Ontario Provincial Police while occupying Ipperwash provincial park in 1995, early in Mr. Harris’s pre- miership, have launched a court action for compensation. The premier has denied repeat- edly he took any part in directing police to clear the park, but the court obtained notes made by a lawyer with the Province’s native affairs secretariat, who chaired a government committee that held an emergency meeting the day Mr. George died. The lawyer wrote that staff of the natural resources ministry, which operates parks, urged cau- tion and pointed out the demon- strators were merely occupying an empty park. But she noted a Harris aide said the premier was hawkish and felt the longer the natives were al- lowed to occupy the park the more support they would get and he would like action to remove them as soon as possible. A civil ser- vant added Mr. Harris viewed the occupation as a test of his govern- ment’s will. Such government documents are difficult to obtain and out- siders often do not even know they exist. Records of cabinet meetings are seen even more rarely. The only time minutes of cabi- net meetings were made public was after the Tory government of premier William Davis took own- ership of a northern tourist resort, Minaki Lodge, in the 1970s when it ran into financial problems, hoping to save jobs and keep votes in the area just before an election. The former owner sued the Province for compensation claim- ing it unfairly pressured him in to handing it over and the Supreme Court of Canada ordered the Province to hand over minutes and other records of cabinet meet- ings. The Tory government, which often boasted it was run by hard- headed businessmen who knew how to meet a bottom line, poured $40 million into renovating and subsidizing the lodge before it was sold to a hotel chain for a mere $4 million. The intriguing question for taxpayers was who among the ministers pushed to own such a drain on public money. They turned out to be premier Davis, treasurer John White, industry minister Claude Bennett and nat- ural resources minister Leo Bernier, Mr. Davis’s chief lieu- tenant in the north, anxious to pre- serve his domain. One of the few opposed to get- ting involved was the former hockey star, Syl Apps, who was considered a minor league politi- cian and held only a junior cabinet post. He warned the Province could not run the lodge profitably and would need to keep pouring money into it. No wonder govern- ments want to keep their records secret. Uncovering what lies beneath Short of legal rulings, cabinet decisions usually kept under wraps You said it The question was: With report cards on the performance of municipalities about to be released, do you feel you’re well-served by municipal politicians? It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise, but it should out- rage law-abiding, taxpaying citizens: 29 per cent of criminals sentenced to house arrests were not home when police did residence checks in Ajax and Pickering recently. The officers did two blitzes in the area and when they knocked on 18 doors the first night, they found a whopping six offenders not home. A check of 20 dwellings the second evening found five convicts not where they were legally sup- posed to be. They even discovered one offender had recently sold his house and moved away. The man apparently packed up, moved, and, ahem, did not leave a forwarding address. Talk about contempt for the law! Clearly, offenders don’t have any motive to stay home. With residence checks few and far between, what are the odds they’ll be caught? How much time can officers be expected to use checking up on those sentenced to house arrest, also known as conditional sentences? These are questions with no simple answers. Consider those sentenced to penitentiary time must live in an environment where they’re under guard 24 hours a day, where they must be accountable for their actions at all times. Now, take the example of criminals provided with house ar- rest. There are no limits, save those the judge reads out at sen- tencing. Who is there to apply the punishment, to make the criminal serve his sentence? Nobody. Conditional sentences have been an option for judges for the past five years and tens of thousands of offenders have re- ceived such terms. Judges are handing out more conditional sentences than the system can safely handle and properly po- lice. With the cost of warehousing criminals increasing and jail space at a premium, the decision to hand out conditional sentences is largely based on economics. As a result, some criminals convicted of sex offences, rob- bery, drug importing, trafficking, hit and run, and fraud are getting a virtual free ride. They’ve been sentenced to house ar- rest but with no teeth to the conditions of their sentence. If conditional sentences are to remain central to our justice system, the funds to monitor those under house arrest must be made available. The Province will have to decide how impor- tant respect for the law is and will have to pay for enforce- ment. The alternative is to give the criminals free rein. That’s hardly just. You can forgive local politicians for reacting swiftly and loudly to reports that Toronto officials were casting glances east once again in a bid to manage their municipal waste. News the City of Toronto is considering former landfill sites in Pickering and Ajax for the creation of a composting fa- cility was met with great opposition, particularly in Pickering, where officials fought a long and expensive campaign to close down the former Brock West landfill. The former landfill sites — Brock North in Pickering and Brock South in Ajax — are still owned by Toronto, thus the reason for the City’s interest in considering one or both. What Toronto’s latest foray in Durham Region served to do, however, was underscore the need for more progressive and active policies to promote composting and other waste re- duction initiatives here at home. Durham’s blue box recycling program still requires expan- sion to accept more plastics, for instance. It already collects yard waste for composting and aggressively promotes the use of home composters. Pickering and Ajax, for their part, have instituted four-bag limits for household waste. All of this is well and good and illustrates municipal efforts over the last decade. But more, much more, is needed if Durham and its member municipalities are to meet waste di- version goals on a sustainable basis. In the context of Toronto’s proposal, Durham should con- sider expanding its current composting efforts and begin ac- cepting organic materials from outside the region on a fee basis. That could provide revenue over the long-term to invest in new technology, or innovative waste reduction programs. As well, municipalities without weekly garbage bag limits should consider implementing them. Pickering residents have been limited to four bags each week for some time; Ajax just implemented its new four-bag limit in April of this year. And each of us has an individual responsibility. We must ensure recyclable materials at home aren’t making their way into our household garbage and, ultimately, to landfill sites. We must ensure organic materials are being returned to the earth via the various home composting systems available. We must work together to inform ourselves of ways to continual- ly reduce our waste footprint. Governments have set tough new waste-diversion goals. By working both individually and collectively, these goals can be met. But if we ignore the importance of the need to reduce, reuse and recycle, we do so at our own peril. Rob Forrester said,“They do OK. It is a good safe town. I would rather live in Ajax than in Toronto.” Tom Albion said,“I think so. They are per- forming well in planning and recreation.” Claude Aubry said,“Local politicians stink. I think they have too much money for what they do. The get big rais- es all the time.” Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER AUG. 1, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Time to bite the bullet on gun laws To the editor: This gun situation is soon going to be tragic and the feder- al Liberal government will be to blame. The Liberals have devoted all their time and energy to a useless gun registry while at the same time allowing a proliferation of illegal handguns to enter the country. These illegal guns will never go away and will haunt us for years to come. It is time for us to hear from Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague on this subject. Let’s hear some concrete proposals, not all this mumbo jumbo about this being a complicated issue. My first suggestion, for starters, would be legislation that would see anyone caught pos- sessing an illegal handgun re- ceive an automatic three years in jail with no probation. Mike Newman, Pickering Government provides plenty of reason for outrage To the editor: Re: ‘Changes to OHIP coverage for hearing tests ‘outrage’ MP,’ July 20, 2001. Durham MP Alex Shepherd: I’m outraged at a government that will underwrite a contract bid for Bombardier (a very competitive, profitable, corporation) but has no money for drought-stricken west- ern farmers. I’m outraged at a prime minis- ter who demeans his office by in- fluencing a loan application to a man with a dubious financial and criminal record. I’m outraged by a government that can waste $1 billion and still not have purchased the helicopters we so desperately need. I’m outraged at a government that spends hundreds of millions of dollars on a gun registration program that has done little to stop the shootings and gun crimes in our cities. I’m outraged by a government that has won two elections by touting two ‘red books’ of glori- ous promises but fulfilled very few of them. I’m outraged by a govern- ment’s gluttonous tax grab every time fuel prices rise. I’m outraged, that while sitting on huge cash surpluses you only now subsidize health care to four per cent, letting the provinces wrestle with the rising costs. I could go on and on but the editor would not allow me enough space. Mr. Shepherd could you please focus your outrage on some of the above-listed problems and the cit- izens of Canada would all benefit. J.V.

In Ajax, 1,885 tonnes (28.13 kg per person) was put out at curbside. These figures of res- idential waste from both homeowners and apartment dwellers are printed as a guide on how well or how poorly we are doing. This is becoming depressing as the tonnage keeps going up for both communities.

Cnote D331/332-All zones BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor PICKERING —A city resident is basking in the afterglow of receiving a prestigious Emmy nomination from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Whitevale resident Mark Fordham is nominated for an award in the cate- gory of ‘outstanding special visual ef- fects for a mini-series, movie or spe- cial’for his work on the made-for-tele- vision movie, ‘Haven’. “We’re overwhelmed (by the nomi- nation),” said Fordham, the head of the matte department at Toronto-based Calibre Digital Pictures, which headed up the visual effects for the Alliance- Atlantis production. “We’re all pretty happy here.” Fordham and his team of Allan Walker, Matt Schofield and Noel Hooper provided the matte work for ‘Haven’— the true story of Ruth Gru- ber, an American who made a perilous voyage to Europe to rescue 300 Jews during the Second World War and bring them back to the U.S. The made- for-television movie was originally broadcast on CBS and CTV last spring. Matte work, explained Fordham, is as old as movies themselves. It in- volves creating photos or realistic paintings that serve as backdrops for movie scenes. In modern moviemak- ing, computers now handle this task exclusively. “They could be filming on the streets of Toronto, but we could place (the scene) in 1940s Brooklyn,” said Fordham of how realistic in nature the work has become. By way of example, he pointed out one scene in ‘Haven’ shows an actress walking up a driveway to the White House. Meanwhile, the actual filming for the scene was done in Toronto. “She was actually walking on a big green screen,” said Fordham, with the appropriate scenery placed in the frame in the post-production phase. “People can’t even tell we’ve been there. It has to be so seamless that it appears that no special effects were even involved.” While it’s his first Emmy nomina- tion in the special effects field, Ford- ham also received a Gemini Award nomination last year. Gemini Awards recognize excellence in English lan- guage television production in Canada and Fordham was nominated for his work in the TV series ‘Amazon’, also for Alliance Atlantis. Fordham admitted that although getting a nomination is more than enough recognition for work on a pro- ject, he hasn’t given much thought to actually making the trip to the podium on Emmy night. “The industry is really driven by nominations. It would be great (to win), but it’s all about being nominat- ed, which is terrific,” he said. A five-year employee of Calibre, Fordham was formerly a full-time real- ist painter. He once had an exhibition of his works at the McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa. He does, however, enjoy his new artistic passion of work- ing in the matte field. “It’s terrific; it’s a lot of fun,” he said. The 53rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards will be presented at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles Sunday, Sept. 16. Hosted by comedienne Ellen DeGeneres, the awards show will air on CBS.

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 1, 2001 PAGE 13 A/P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER AUGUST 1, 2001 Sprinters off two next level Pickering athletes Henry, Davis make up half of national relay team BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —This year’s Canadian relay team at the World Track and Field Championships has a decidedly local feel. That’s because two of the four members of the men’s 4-x-100-metre unit are Pickering residents. Anson Henry, 22, will be joined by city na- tive and longtime friend Devon Davis, 22, on the Canadian team. The worlds run Aug. 3 to 12 in Edmonton. In addition to Henry and Davis, Pickering Olympian Perdita Felicien will also run for Canada as the coun- try’s top hope in the women’s 100m hurdles. It’s been the realization of a goal for Henry, entering his senior year at Washington State University, to run on the world stage. And, to say the least, he’s elated to be among the country’s elite athletes. “It was one of my goals to make it on this team and I’m pretty happy about it,” said Henry, a Dunbarton High School graduate. It doesn’t hurt that Henry is run- ning with friend Davis, a University of Northern Iowa student who’s been a standout sprinter and jumper at the university. “We’ve known each other for a long time, since we were each eight years old. “It’s cool (to be on the Canadian team). It helps a lot to have people there who you’ve known for a while,” said Henry. Henry and Davis headed for Cal- gary last weekend where they’ll prac- tise running the relay early in the week before heading off to Edmon- ton for the actual race. Henry has been training with the Mississauga Track Club in prepara- tion for the worlds and admitted he’s both excited and nervous, saying it’s the “first step to the next level” of competition. The Canadian 4-x-100m relay team represents a new wave of ath- letes for the event, one where Canada has been a perennial contender, showing up the Americans with a gold medal at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Henry said it will be up to him and his teammates to continue to keep Canada strong in the event. “Canada has a good reputation in the relay, so there is some pressure there to keep that tradition going,” he said. As a first-time competitor at the worlds, Henry said he plans to keep his concentration in the relay and, most of all, keep it simple. “In my head, I just want to keep it simple,” he said. “We have fast peo- ple on the team, we just have to get the stick around (the track) as quick- ly as possible. “I’m nervous in that I’ve never been at a track meet this big before, but as far as running the relay goes, I’m not too nervous about that.” DEVON DAVIS Pickering resident joins other local athletes at worlds.
