Help battle predatory vine in Frenchman’s Bay PICKERING —It’s time to give our local native plants a breath of fresh air. Members of the Frenchman’s Bay Watershed Rehabilitation Pro- ject noted the plants have been in- vaded by ‘dog strangling vine’. The vine is extremely aggres- sive and as it grows, it wraps itself around other plants and strangles them. The public is invited to join pro- ject staff tonight (Wednesday) to battle the vine from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the West Shore Community Centre, on Bayly Street between Liverpool Road and Whites Road.

The ex-Saudi militant called for Muslims worldwide to take up arms against Amer- ica and its allies, saying strikes against Afghanistan were strikes against Islam. In addition, he vowed continued threats to U.S. security and offered praise for those who breached it Sept. 11. As for the country’s Tal- iban regime, under criticism and now attack, for their treat- ment of the Afghan people and for providing a safe haven for Mr. bin Laden and his Al Qaeda terrorist network, Mr. Qureshi said he feels very lit- tle connection to the type of KAZIM QURESHI ‘This is one person, one group...’ Fire rips through Pickering home Federal regulator’s decision on four ‘A’ units expected in a month PICKERING —A decision is expected in three to five weeks on the restart of four laid- up reactors on the ‘A’side of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. Pat O’Brien, manager of public affairs at the station, said Ontario Power Generation (OPG) officials are “as confi- dent as we can be” about getting approval. The final day of hear- ings into amendments to the li- cence for the ‘A’ side was last Wednesday at Canadian Nu- clear Safety Commission (CNSC) headquarters in Ot- tawa. In addition to OPG, more than 40 other groups and indi- viduals made oral or written submissions to the commission. The current 27-month li- cence requires the ‘A’reactors to be laid-up. The amendment sought by OPG would allow the utility to fire up the reactors for the first time since late 1997. If approval is given, OPG hopes to bring the units on one at a time over the next two years, with the first going online in January of next year and producing power by March. The other reactors would be started in six- to nine- month intervals. “CNSC staff recommend the restart, based on the improve- ments and mitigation mea- sures,” Mr. O’Brien said. “We answered all the questions and we’re doing the work.” Improvement and mitigation measures were described in the environmental assessment the CNSC approved earlier this year. OPG is spending about $1 billion refurbishing the four re- actors. Sierra Club of Canada nu- clear researcher Irene Kock is critical of the restart, but she ex- pects the nuclear regulator to OK the restart. “We will be pay- ing for this uneconomic and un- safe government decision for generations. Before we take a risk like this all the alternatives should be explored,” Ms. Kock said. “Instead, the CNSC con- tinues to ignore the real con- cerns of the public and rubber stamp nuclear recklessness. Pickering ‘A’ is unsafe, uneco- nomic and unnecessary.” Mr. O’Brien dismissed the comments, saying, “Everything can be done to ensure the restart is safe and environmentally be- nign.” Ms. Kock called the EA “a total whitewash of important safety issues. Severe nuclear ac- cidents at Pickering are a real risk to the entire Great Lakes basin. Many things could lead to a catastrophic accident, includ- ing terrorism, aging equipment, human error and earthquakes. It’s a risk we don’t need to take.” As for the outcome of the hearing, Mr. O’Brien said, “We won’t know until we read the decision. “ Pickering woman helped save eight swimmers at Toronto beach BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —It was a sunny and windy summer Sun- day in August 1998 as tonnes of people hit the beach at Scar- borough Bluffer’s park. Lifelong Pickering resident Christine Steinwall, the beach’s head lifeguard, said she saw the same regulars as most days, but the smiling face of the neighbourhood kid who she had saved from the water so many times before changed that day, and she will never for- get it. “I knew she was watching it all,” she said. “Her face just looked so scared.” Ms. Steinwall said there were huge waves that day, up to eight feet high, always a sign of trouble at the beach with its sandbars and large rock jetty that cause people to get dragged out too far into the lake or caught between the rocks and the waves. At around 2 p.m. she no- ticed two children in trouble about 50 metres out and dove in the lake with her partner, lifeguard Phillip Oree, to bring the kids to safety. However, that was just the beginning. After passing the children over to another lifeguard, a woman and young boy in dis- tress were spotted and the two went right back in the water, towing them to shore. Now back on shore they spotted another four people in trouble close to the rock jetty about 75 metres out, and, while fighting fatigue and the ele- ments, Ms. Steinwall said they went back in the lake again. They dragged the first two to shore and swam back out to find a man on the rocks pre- pared to jump in and help. “I said ‘don’t jump in, it’s dangerous’ but he jumped in Pickering resident Christine Steinwall dove repeatedly into Lake Ontario to save several swimmers in distress. She’s to receive a Meritorious Service Medal from Governor Gener- al Adrienne Clarkson. PAT O’BRIEN ‘We answered all the questions...’ See LIFEGUARD page A2 OPG officials make final restart pitch See DURHAM page A2 Residence was raided by police last month PICKERING ––An $80,000 fire on Sunday gutted a Rosebank Road residence that police said housed a sophisticat- ed marijuana-growing operation. The blaze broke out prior to 3:30 a.m. at the southwest Pick- ering home that had been raided Sept. 20 by the Durham Region- al Police drug squad. The detached bungalow was unoccupied at the time of the fire, which is being investigated by police and fire officials as possible arson, police said. Police last month seized more than 1,200 marijuana plants with an estimated $200,000 street value and $15,000 in hydroponics grow- ing-related equipment during a search of the Kingston Road- Sheppard Avenue residence. At the time, police alleged the home had been converted into a “fortified” indoor drug op- eration and that hydro had been illegally hooked up to the house from the main supply line to conceal increased power usage. George Rudolph Herrmann, 38, was charged with production of marijuana, possession for the purpose of trafficking and theft of hydro. Lifeguard’s actions earn national honour Islam they practise. “The difference is like day and night,” Mr. Qureshi said. “We do not agree, it’s not right and it’s not Islam.” Mr. Qureshi condemned the Tal- iban for its treatment of women (Afghan women cannot work or go to school) and its refusal to allow any freedom of choice or religion (for- eign aid workers in Afghanistan have recently been put on trial for showing children Christian videotapes). “It’s not right, the way they inter- pret the Koran and the life of the prophet Mohammed,” he said. “Islam was one of the first reli- gions to implement equal rights... the way they chose to interpret the mes- sages of Islam are not right.” However, as Canadian Defence Minister Art Eggleton pledges more than 2,000 Canadian men and women, six warships, ground and air support to the U.S. and British-led coalition fighting the war on terror- ism, when it comes to military action against Afghanistan, Mr. Qureshi is hoping Canada will only play its fa- miliar peacekeeping role. “Canada has always played a peaceful role in the world... I am proud of that role as a Canadian,” he said, adding his wish is that the Cana- dian military would provide humani- tarian aid and not arms to the U.S. ef- fort. Mr. Qureshi also said he is hoping civilian casualties are kept to a mini- mum in the latest strikes. “Attacks against the required tar- gets — terrorist camps — no prob- lem, but we don’t want to lose the lives of innocent civilians. The Afghani people have suffered so much, years of war has torn them apart, forced them into poverty; as human beings we need to be very careful,” he said. Although he said he understands the need to eradicate the terrorists in the area, Mr. Qureshi is concerned with what the U.S. might leave be- hind and he is opposed to war be- cause in the end “nothing is achieved. “I hope the outcome is positive. I hope for the best, I hope for peace.” anyways,” she recalled. The man immediately started hav- ing difficulties staying afloat and the lifeguards had to come to his aid. Mr. Oree then rescued the third victim and Ms. Steinwall swam towards the fourth. “When I got close to him I could see he was unconscious,” she ex- plained. “He went under and then he was gone.” Before the coast guard, CFB Tren- ton, police, fire, and ambulance ser- vices showed up, she kept diving under but couldn’t find the man. “So much film was being kicked up I couldn’t see what I was diving for,” she said, and when police did come said they stated conditions were too dangerous for their own divers. Eventually they did search but it was too late to find the man alive. “His family was standing on the rocks screaming and crying,” she said. “It was so scary.” Now three years later, Ms. Stein- wall, 25, a pedi- atric nurse at North York Gen- eral Hospital, said she would always remem- ber the look of horror on that little girl, a regu- lar at the beach who always had a smile, and the fear and help- lessness visible in the face of the one man she couldn’t save. Governor General Adri- enne Clarkson announced last month Ms. Steinwall and Mr. Oree would be the recipients of the Meritori- ous Service Medal in recog- nition of the lives they saved that day. A formal cer- emony in Ot- tawa is set for Oct. 12, but Ms. Steinwall said any honour is somewhat taint- ed. “It’s quite an honour but it’s hard to accept. Someone lost their life on that day and that’s hard, it’s upset- ting,” she said. “I’m just glad my staff was recognized. Eight people were saved and we had a part in that.” A/P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 10, 2001 Lifeguard honoured for heroics LIFEGUARD from page A1 Durham Muslims call for Canada to take peacekeeping role DURHAM from page A1 Your Home For Chevrolet Oldsmobile Cadillac Ltd. 1800 Kingston Road, Pickering Tel: (905) 683-9333 Fax: (905) 683-9378 Email: sheridanchev@gmcanada.com SSI OF PICKERING PARTS & SERVICE 1-800-327-5618 A DIFFERENT KIND OF CAR COMPANY A DIFFERENT KIND OF CAR To Advertise In This Feature Call Jim Goom 905-683-5110 Ext. 241 365 Bayly Street West Ajax, Ontario L1S 6M3 Tel: (905) 428-8888 Fax: (905) 428-8904 SERVICE HOURS MON. - THURS. 7:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. FRI. 7:30a.m. - 6 p.m. SAT. 9 a.m. - 3p.m. VicVic 905-420-5788 Fax: 905-839-7455 1-800-263-4431 www.pickeringtoyota.com 557 Kingston Rd., Pickering MON., TUES., THURS., FRI. 7:30 - 6:00 WED. 7:30 - 8:00; SAT. 8:00 - 3:00 ANSWERED BY, VICTOR LEE, SATURN, SAAB, ISUZU OF PICKERING VOLVO • HONDA • TOYOTA • SATURN • SAAB • ISUZU • CHEVROLET • OLDSMOBILE • CADILLAC • ACURA SERVICE HOURS MON., WED., THURS., FRI. 7:30 A.M. - 6:00 P.M.

Answer: Today's sophisticated new fuel injected engines still require a radiator and engine coolant to prevent overheating during normal operation. Traditionally, most automotive repair shops only test an engine's coolant with a hydrometer that measures the specific gravity of the coolant (its concentration by mass compared to pure water) to determine its freezing point, as well as visually observing the colour of the coolant. A more complete test of the coolant in your engine not only consists of hydrometer testing, but also testing of its PH balance factor to determine if an alkaline or acidic condition exists. The PH balance of the traditional green, ethylene glycol or the new orange, long life dexcool type coolant can be tested with special litmus paper strips that will change colour to indicate whether the PH balance of your engine coolant is nominal. A coolant that is overly acidic or alkaline will slowly corrode through gaskets and into aluminum parts of today's newer engines, allowing internal leakage into unwanted places such as engine oil passages or combustion chamber areas that could eventually lead to catastrophic engine failure. Your engine coolant should be inspected several times a year and changed periodically as recommended by the manufacturer of your car to ensure that components will last as long as possible. A coolant flush and fill is a small price to pay compared to major mechanical work!

London. Athens. They are among the most de- sirable tourist destinations on Earth. But it appears Catholic high school students who were slated to travel to these and other great world cities this year will have to visit the sites on the Internet instead. The Durham Catholic District School Board, at last night’s board meeting, was to formally cancel all international trips for students, citing concerns over staff and pupil safety following the terrorist attacks one month ago on the United States. Trustees have to approve a report on the issue. “After careful consideration and in view of the uncertain unfolding of events during the coming months, it has been decided that all internation- al field trips under the sponsorship of the board will be cancelled in the best interest of student and staff safe- ty,” stated Paul Pulla, secondary schools superintendent, in a report on Tuesday’s meeting agenda. The report shows that in six of the board’s seven high schools, 195 stu- dents and 31 teachers were to have gone on 15 trips this school year and, in one case, next summer. The desti- nations included Italy, Great Britain, Greece, Ger- many, Australia and Hawaii. Ten trips were scheduled in March. The board had already put in place a mora- torium on the approval of new trips outside of Canada. “We will monitor the situ- ation regularly and reconsider our position if the current situ- ation becomes more stable,” stated Mr. Pulla. The Durham District School Board recently advised against any overseas trips, although it noted school principals have the final say on all excursions. Five of the seven Catholic secondary schools had scheduled one or two trips dur- ing the year. However at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pick- ering, six trips were planned, involving 75 students and 12 teachers.

Pickering Town Centre 839-5990 Police say undercover officer made purchase of crack cocaine AJAX ––A 24-year-old man is charged with trafficking in crack co- caine and assaulting a police officer following an undercover sting last Friday. Durham Regional Police said an undercover officer made a purchase from a suspected dealer at a Harwood Avenue South strip plaza at about 7:30 p.m. and the drug squad moved in for an arrest a short time later. Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman, said the suspect resisted and an officer suffered a minor injury during the scuffle. Cash, a cellphone and a quantity of cocaine wrapped in packages was seized, Sgt. Malik said. Jason Pitter, of Emperor Street, has been charged with trafficking, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and as- sault to resist arrest. BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––An electricity provider owned in part by the munici- palities of Ajax, Pickering and Claring- ton has announced its venture into the retail energy market. Veridian Corporation has entered a partnership with Mississauga-based En- ersource to create First Source, a com- pany marketing fixed-price electricity packages that will allow residents to lock in to a fixed electricity price for three years once the market opens. The provincial government has said the elec- tricity market will open no later than May 2002, allowing retailers to sell electricity the same way natural gas is currently marketed. “We think potential- ly it is a very attractive business venture to be in,” says Veridian’s manager of regulatory affairs, George Armstrong. “It was scrutinized by the board to en- sure proper due diligence was taken be- fore the investment was made and the board was satisfied that’s the case.” Veridian owns 43 per cent of First Source while Enersource owns the re- maining 57 per cent. First Source will be based in Mississauga. “Like Enersource, Veridian is grow- ing and adapting to market changes in order to better serve its customers,” said CEO John Wiersma, in a news release Friday. “The staff and directors of First Source share our corporate values of in- tegrity and service excellence and will provide customers with attractive new options for managing their electricity costs,” he said. Mr. Armstrong says First Source will market to current Veridian Connections customers. Once the market opens, any- one remaining on standard supply could experience rate fluctuation based on pricing changes within the electricity market. First Choice will eliminate any volatility in pricing, he says. Although prices will not take effect until market opening, First Choice is al- ready marketing its fixed-price product to residents and will soon be offering a business package, says Mr. Armstrong. He notes other retailers are already mar- keting their products. As to whether it’s better to sign up now or wait until clos- er to market opening, Mr. Armstrong says that’s a hard call. “It’s hard to pre- dict which way prices will go,” he points out. Veridian Corporation was created when the three municipalities of Ajax, Pickering and Clarington merged elec- tricity delivery services to form a private corporation two years ago. Veridian has since merged with Belleville Utilities. Ajax owns 32.1 per cent of Veridian while Pickering owns 41 per cent, Clar- ington 13.6 per cent and Belleville 13.3 per cent.

September figures re- leased by GM of Canada show the company deliv- ered 37,784 vehicles in September, down 15.3 per cent from the same period last year. During the month, 19,163 cars were sold, down 16.6 per cent, while 18,621 trucks were sold, down 13.9 per cent when compared to Sep- tember 2000. “Considering the events of last month (terrorist at- tacks on New York City and Washington, D.C.), September sales are about what we expected,” said Dick Conlin, GM of Cana- da’s vice president of sales, service and marketing. “The fact that sales were not as negative as some analysts had predict- ed is a positive sign for the industry going forward. We saw a significant in- crease in showroom traffic toward the end of the month and expect that to translate into sales in the fourth quarter. At this point, we are still on track for 2001 to be the third strongest sales year in the past decade.” A dozen of GM’s vehi- cles placed in the top three of their respective cate- gories in the J.D. Power and Associates 2001 AP- PEAL Study, which tracks how owners of cars and trucks feel about their vehi- cles. Four GM vehicles, the Pontiac Aztek, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, Cadillac Es- calade and Chevrolet Corvette, were winners.

Council voted recently to defer implementing a zoning bylaw that would allow con- struction of 17 townhouses, built to accept commercial uses on the ground floor, on land on the east side of Liver- pool Road south of Wharf Street, until a land use and design study of the area is complete. “Why should we approve any application prior to see- ing the study?” Ward 2 Re- gional Councillor Mark Hol- land asked council. “I have reservations about making any decision prior to its com- pletion.” With the study expected to be finished some time in No- vember, and three applica- tions for land use in the area from the Pickering Harbour Company and another from the city, Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner said he wants to look at the informa- tion “all together, all at one time”, before going ahead with any amendments. In an interview following the meeting, Coun. Holland also expressed concern over the application itself, saying it may not fit in with the city’s vision for the water- front. Coun Holland said they want to find the right mix be- tween commercial and resi- dential uses for the land. “If we don’t institute a measure of control we could end up with all residential property,” he explained. “It could strike a blow to our vi- sion and seriously undermine our plan.” Sylvain Trepanier, vice- president of the Pickering East Shore Community As- sociation, also expressed concern about the applica- tion. He said phrases like “ac- commodate a variety of uses”, “accept commercial uses”, and “permit the use of such lands for a variety of commercial uses”, contained in the zoning bylaw amend- ment application, will only open up the choice to proper- ty owners whether or not they wish to run a business out of the ground floor of the town- house, not guaranteeing any commercial use of the prop- erty. “This is not going far enough,” he told council be- fore they voted to defer the matter.

Liberal leader Dalton McGuin- ty told a party think-tank a few months ago he is committed to bringing it democratic renewal. He said this would include mak- ing government more transparent and accountable and giving MPPs more opportunities to show inde- pendence and vote the way they believe, rather than merely having to follow the party line, which among other benefits would attract a high calibre of candidates. The Liberal leader had a chance to show his version of democracy in action when his party chose its candidate for the recent byelection in the Beaches-East York riding. Half-a-dozen local Liberal stal- warts, including appropriately their unsuccessful candidate in the last general election and a former rid- ing association president, sought the nomination and went through the traditional grind of calling resi- dents and signing up new mem- bers, believing they were in a process that would lead to the best among them being chosen. But they were wrong, because Mr. McGuinty quietly called Bob Hunter, a minor celebrity because he helped found the environmental group Greenpeace and became a TV reporter. A party spokesman announced all the other potential candidates quickly agreed he was the best for the job and stepped aside. The spokesman had appealed to them to put their party before their personal ambitions and told them Mr. Hunter had the best chance of winning, but he could not prove it because Mr. Hunter lost the byelec- tion and it could even be argued one of the others might have won. This was not the first time a party hierarchy has told a riding as- sociation who should be its candi- date, but such interventions nor- mally are conducted in private and hidden from the public gaze. The most notorious was more than two decades ago, when Tory premier William Davis was trying to get a close friend since universi- ty, Roy McMurtry, now Ontario’s chief justice, into the legislature. A traditionally safe Tory riding opened up in a byelection in 1973 and Mr. Davis warned off several others who would have tried for the nomination and Mr. McMurtry got it, but in a huge upset lost to Mar- garet Campbell, a hardworking Liberal municipal politician who knew her constituents. Mr. Davis was determined to get Mr. McMurtry in and when he called a general election in 1975, quietly told one of his MPPs, Leonard Reilly, in an even safer riding, he would have to step aside for his friend. Mr. Reilly, who had been an MPP for 13 years, had no option because he could not have won the nomination against Mr. McMurtry with his aura as an influential in- sider and the premier’s backing. Mr. Reilly went quietly, unwill- ing to be seen publicly as having been forced out, and Mr. Davis gave him the sop of being chair- man of the Ontario Science Centre and a testimonial dinner. Morley Kells, a current Tory MPP and backbencher under Mr. Davis, was told by the party’s then executive director he could run only in a riding where he had pre- viously lost, but instead ran in a riding where he lived and won, and when they met thereafter, Mr. Davis looked away and refused to recognize him. Leaders in the New Democratic Party, notwithstanding its slogan of brotherly love, also have tried to steer candidacies to political friends, not always with success. When Bob Rae was chosen leader in 1982, the future premier had a reputation as a prodigy in the House of Commons but no seat in the legislature and some senior party members privately pressed the veteran Jim Renwick, then 64, to give up his seat in Toronto to let Mr. Rae in. But Mr. Renwick had held his riding for 18 years, winning it from the Tories and making it his own. He was a former corporation lawyer who gave his party much credibility, knew his value and had the confidence to refuse. Former party leader Donald MacDonald eventually stepped aside for Mr. Rae. The weirdest attempt to dic- tate who should run was in 1987, when ridings held by New Democ- rats Ross McClellan and Tony Lu- pusella were merged and Mr. Rae and party hierarchy helped steer the nomination in the new riding to Mr. McClellan, who had been house leader and they thought a steadier performer. Mr. Lupusella promptly went out and got the nomination to run for the Liberals and defeated Mr. McClellan in the election, another reminder those who run parties are not always smarter than the rank and file. P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 10, 2001 Proud members of Hand-picked trouble for leaders Attempting to steer candidate nominations can prove fatal at polls Any doubts about Canada’s involvement in ‘Operation Enduring Freedom’ were eliminated in just a few hours Sunday. Shortly before the cruise missiles began firing on mili- tary sites in Afghanistan, U.S. President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Jean Chretien spoke on the phone about the impending military campaign. As he has since Sept. 11, our prime minister promised Canada’s full in- volvement — we will stand ‘shoulder to shoulder’ is what he repeated Sunday — in any campaign against terrorism. Let there be no wavering in our commitment to this goal. In a world where you are either with those who stand for freedom or with the terrorists, to paraphrase the presi- dent, how can we have any doubts? Inaction now would only offer comfort to Osama bin Laden and his gang of thugs, bent on destroying innocent people around the planet who do not share their warped views. Mr. bin Laden has upped the ante year after year in his desire for blood. In 1993 he murdered several people in the bombing at the World Trade Center. In 1998 he slaugh- tered hundreds in the explosions of U.S. embassies in Tan- zania and Kenya. On Sept. 11 his terrorist network wiped out thousands in the suicide flights in New York City and Washington. Mr. bin Laden and other terrorists across the globe have absolutely no interest in negotiation or diplomacy. They want complete submission to their whims, nothing less. Compromise is a word they sneer at. How can you talk to people who are not bothered by the prospect of dying for their cause? To allow Mr. bin Laden to continue his evil killing sprees, to allow him to recruit more young, impression- able, naive men to his cause would be totally irresponsible and would place Western nations at the mercy of terrorism. That is not acceptable. It shows a total lack of respect for the thousands cut down by terrorism. War is a last resort, one not taken lightly by members of NATO. It is costly, puts many lives at risk and leaves the stability of governments and economies in jeopardy. But the constant, unending worldwide threat from terrorism leaves our government with no choice. The 2,000 soldiers, six ships and six aircraft that make up Canada’s contingent for ‘Enduring Freedom’ will work largely behind the lines. However, our highly secretive Joint Task Force 2 may enter Afghanistan to fight on the ground. Our prayers and hopes are with them. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 10, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Good Samaritans step up for injured woman To the editor: My wife and I, both well into our 70s, wish to thank all of the people who assisted her when she accidentally tripped over a curb and fell on to the road as she was about to cross The Esplanade North at Valley Farm Road, on Sept. 26. She has swollen arthrit- ic knees and has difficulty walk- ing. We especially appreciate the help of Bryce Phillips and anoth- er man, whose name we do not know, who called me on his cell- phone. They helped my wife to her feet and assisted her to a near- by bench. She had a badly bleed- ing nose, a cut to her inner lower lip, a sprained wrist and several bruises on her face and knees. Two ladies from the fitness centre at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex arrived with a first-aid kit and treated the cuts and bleeding. Constable Philip Reed, who hap- pened to be nearby, came and took the particulars of the acci- dent and called an ambulance. The ambulance arrived shortly after and two very kind and effi- cient female paramedics assisted both of us into the ambulance and gave my wife further treatment on the way to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. The emergency room staff, nurses and doctors were also helpful and we’re grateful for the personal care of ‘Bonnie’. My wife was allowed to go home and will be OK except for a few days to heal the bruises and swellings. As I am unable to drive due to health reasons, we must give spe- cial thanks to Mr. Phillips for coming to the hospital to drive us home in his car. And to think we didn’t know any of these people.

It had two blacksmiths, a cobbler, butcher, wagon dealer, church, hotel and general store. Audley’s first school was built in 1866 and at- tended by all children in the area.

The Buzzers scored four times early in the first period en route to a 6-3 vic- tory over the Panthers in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League South Conference play in Toronto Fri- day night. Coming off a victory in Oshawa against the Legionaires Oct. 2 and a strong outing against the Buzzers in their last meeting (albeit a losing one by a 5-2 count) Sept. 30, the Panthers seemed poised for Friday’s battle with the Buzzers. The tepid start, however, dispelled any notion of the Panthers having designs on beating the power- house squad. For first-place St. Mike’s, it was the team’s ninth win without a loss to open the season, including three over the Panthers. With the loss, Pickering falls to 4-5-1-1 for 10 points, for fourth place in the South Conference. Panthers’ head coach Bill Purcell said the team’s confidence was high entering Friday’s game, but the poor start quickly took his charges out of their game plan. Despite a better sec- ond period, the damage was already done. “I thought we would have a better game,” noted Purcell. “But, when you allow a club four goals on six or seven shots, it’s a tough start. You’re burying yourself. It was really disap- pointing to have a start like that.” Mike Andre- off, beaten for four goals on the first six shots of the game, was pulled midway through the sec- ond period in favour of Scott Gray, who al- lowed the other two goals. After sleep- ing through the first 20 min- utes, the Pan- thers finally awoke in the second period to score twice in a 51-second span. Garret Winder scored from Alex Greig and Iain McPhee, before Scott Mitchell scored from Ryan Taylor and Scott Old- field. The third pe- riod, with St. Mike’s firmly in control, was marred by several fights with the outcome all but decided. Pickering added a power- play marker off the stick of Taylor, as- sisted by Oldfield and Kyle Aitken, to round out the scoring. The Panthers return to action this Friday when the Wexford Raiders pay a visit to the Pickering Recreation Complex for a 7:30 p.m. game. PANTHERS’ POSTSCRIPT:The Panthers lost forward Steve Farquar- son to an Ontario Hockey League trade. As a player for the St. Michael’s Majors OHL team, he was held out of Friday’s Panthers game and was later dealt by the OHL club. Details of the deal weren’t available at press time... Panthers’ forwards Dan Schofield and Colin Jennings were out of Friday’s lineup with groin injuries...

GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Coming through OSHAWA — A Dunbarton High School Spartans running back blasts through a big hole in the Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School Saints’ defence during LOSSA football action at the Oshawa school last Thursday afternoon. Dunbarton won 34-0. Ryan Bardgett scored five touchdowns and added a two-point convert to lead the Spartans. Ryan Rogatinsky chipped in with a two-point convert. Dolphins atoms, peewees score big wins over Scarborough DURHAM —Ajax-Pickering Dolphins’ foot- ball teams counted two wins and a close loss against the visiting Scarborough Thunder in recent Central Ontario Football League action. The Dolphins’tykes suffered a narrow 22-21 de- feat to the first-place Thunder. Running back Myles Daly opened the Dol- phins’scoring with a touchdown in the first quarter, converted by kicker Giancarlo Amenta. With the Dolphins leading 9-7, fullback David West ran the ball for another touchdown for a 15-7 halftime lead. The Thunder started strongly in the third quar- ter, scoring an unconverted touchdown to narrow the score to 15-13. Daly then answered with anoth- er touchdown for a 21-13 lead before the Dolphins turned the ball over in the final two minutes, lead- ing to a Thunder touchdown and then winning score. The Dolphins’ defence played a great game in holding Scarborough, which was averaging 50 points a game, to only 22. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ atoms crushed the Thunder 52-6. David Priestman and Cecil Cherrie each with two, and Travis Thomas, Andrew Quit- tenton and David McIlravey scored touchdowns. Kicker Jordan McLaughlin contributed 10 points. The Dolphins’ offensive line had its best game of the season as they opened huge holes for the run- ning backs and provided great protection for the quarterback. The defensive unit, led by Shane Pin- nock, crunched the visitors from the opening whis- tle. Highlights included a 60-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Priestman to Cherrie as well as an 80-yard kick return for a touchdown by Cherrie. Running back Quittenton chipped in with over 100 yards rushing. Defensively, the Dolphins recovered a number of fumbles and kept the Thunder’s pass- oriented offence to little or no gain for most of the game. In the peewee game, the Dolphins scored a 16-6 win over the undefeated Thunder. Sanic Thomas scored both touchdowns off pinpoint passing from quarterback Jesse Andrews. Dan West booted con- versions. Both the offence and defence dominated Scarborough, with special efforts from Chris Gavin, Elbron Barzagar, Dan West,Abbey Olusoga and Milos Kucevic. The peewees’record stands at 4-3. Thunder comes crashing down Overtime caps great season for Pickering girls Michelle Dixon scores last-minute winner as under-10 girls clinch cup title PICKERING —The Pickering Power girls’ under-10 rep soccer team capped a fantastic season by winning the Central Girls Soccer League (CGSL) cup final in overtime recently. The cup final pitted the top two teams in Division 1 of the CGSL, with Pickering downing Whitby Iroquois 3-2. Pick- ering opened the scoring with a rocket off the foot of Amber Pollari into the far corner of the net. Assisting were Gillian Clayton and Arin King. Later in the first half, Michelle Dixon scored, assisted by King and Pollari, for a 2-0 lead. In the second half, Whitby came back strongly and scored two goals to tie the game and send it into sudden-death overtime. With less than a minute remaining in overtime, deter- mined work by Tiffany Allen paid off when she took the ball off a Whitby defender and relayed it to Dixon at the front of the net for the cup-winning goal. The Power arrived in the finals by beating Markham 2-0 on goals by Pollari and then beating the Ajax Warriors 3-2 on two goals by Pollari and one from Dixon. In addition to the cup win, the girls finished first in the league, and won three of the five tournaments they entered, while also finishing as finalist in Mississauga. They won the prestigious COVI tournament, shutting out all opponents en route to the championship. They went to the Waterloo Tour- nament and lost in the semifinal to the eventual tournament champions from London. The squad won the Whitby tourna- ment and then travelled to Oakville for the prestigious Oscar tournament where they beat the Brams United Storm 3-1 in the final. Power compiled a league record of 11-0-3, scoring 44 goals and only giving up 10 while recording five shutouts. In tournaments, Power was 18-5-1, scoring 60 goals, giving up 24 goals and recording 11 shutouts.

The three 1970s-vintage Cana- dian bands are uniting at the Ju- bilee Pavilion in Lakeview Park, Oshawa, to play a benefit concert for the new Durham Regional Cancer Centre on Oct. 19, at 8:30 p.m. The show is being organized as a tribute to Bill Wade, drummer and founding member for Moxy, who lost his battle with lymphoma cancer earlier in this year. “For those who remember the bands Lighthouse, Goddo and Moxy, it will be a unique experi- ence because chances are that combination of bands from the 70s era won’t be grouped together on a bill like this again,” said lead singer for Lighthouse and well- known veteran Durham musician, Dan Clancy. “We (the three bands) are do- nating our time and efforts in the memory of Bill Wade to raise money for the Cancer Centre which is going to be a huge part of Durham Region. People who have suffered through what Bill had to, won’t be shipped into Sunnybrook (Health Sciences Centre) anymore to have their treatments done,” he added. Before he passed away, Wade had been the collaborator on Clan- cy’s most recent CD, ‘Eleven’ which was released last month. Wade also wrote seven of the 11 songs on the CD and produced them all. “The project (CD) was sup- posed to be out in October 2000, but we put everything off only be- cause we were trying to get Bill healthy again and we really were hopeful he would come back,” he added. He explained Wade was really committed to getting better and went through chemotherapy, radia- tion and other treatments, but the cancer just wouldn’t subside. Friends of Wade watched him take the bus back and forth to Toronto for his treatments and understood how important it is to have a treat- ment centre in Durham so those suffering from the disease can spend more time with their fami- lies and loved ones. “We had a lot of music still not completed that we were going to work on future projects with,” said Clancy. “It was quite difficult watching him go through the stages of what cancer can do to someone especially knowing that he was losing the battle, disheart- ening so much that this was the last project we’d be able to work on to- gether. It’s a difficult thing.” ‘Eleven’is the second CD Clan- cy has released under his own record label: Collective records, which donates $1 for every sale to the trauma ward of The Hospital for Sick Children. He said songs that illustrate the type of person Wade was are track numbers four ‘Swim with the dolphins,’ six ‘Love told me too,’ and 11 ‘Strug- gling hearts,’on the current CD. “Bill was introspective, mildly cynical - I mean that in a good way, and very driven when it came to his songwriting and music,” said Clancy. The CD is available in most music stores across southern On- tario or online at www.danclan- cy.com. Tickets for the benefit concert are $25 in advance and available at Déjà Vu Discs locations in Os- hawa, Ajax, Pickering, Scarbor- ough, Richmond Hill and North York. Tickets are also being sold at Long and McQuade in Oshawa and Toronto,and at Star Records in Oshawa as well as from the Os- hawa General Hospital Foundation The concert is sponsored in part by The Oshawa Central Lions Club.

In fact, since the beginning of September, it has been turning and delivering green power into the local grid about 90% of the time. The turbine went online September 4 and has produced more than 160 MWh of electricity since then—most Ontario homes use about 11.6 MWh of electrical energy in a year. On average, the turbine will produce enough electricity to power about 600 homes for one year. The Fine Tuning Continues. Our supplier is continuing to test the turbine and all of its parts. Soon you’ll be seeing a crane on- site for about a week that will be replacing the connection disc between the gearbox and the generator. If you’re an avid “turbine watcher” you will see the nacelle roof being removed and the gear- box lifted out in order to install the new part. The nacelle is the bus-sized unit located at the top of the tower that houses the gearbox and the generator. Come Out and Visit! Thousands of you joined us for the “Throwing the Switch” party. If you haven’t seen the newest member of OPG’s generating fleet, why not take a stroll on the waterfront trail and take a look. Putting our energy to good use. www.opg.com Please Recycle NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 10, 2001 PAGE B7 A/P Since September 11, we’ve taken swift action to protect our people, our province, and our economy: Protecting Our People • We appointed Norman Inkster, retired commissioner of the RCMP, as well as retired Major-General Lewis MacKenzie as provincial security advisors. • We are undertaking a thorough review of Ontario’s emergency response plans. • We will require all municipalities to maintain emergency response plans and train their employees. • We will work with owners and operators of large buildings and public facilities to develop appropriate emergency response programs. Protecting Our Province • We will quickly introduce legislation to increase security for documents such as birth certificates. • We’re establishing a special police unit to assist federal officers in tracking down criminal offenders who are in Ontario illegally, and we’ll aggressively seek their deportation. • We will work with the federal government to ensure that any person who requires high security while awaiting immigration hearings is detained in a maximum security institution. Protecting Our Economy • We’re calling for co-ordinated customs procedures and the creation of a common North America-wide security perimeter. • We will introduce legislation to accelerate cuts in personal income taxes as well as corporate income and capital taxes. • We’re requesting meetings with New York Governor George Pataki and the other Great Lakes Governors as well as business leaders to boost trade and economic growth. The events of September 11 were devastating tragedies and the people of Ontario responded generously, lending heartfelt support to those suffering sorrow and pain. To everyone who reached out with condolences, who donated blood, who gave money or found other ways to help the victims and families of these terrorist acts –thank you. If ever there was a time when America needs a friend, it is now. You didn’t hesitate.You responded immediately. So did your government. Ontario is prepared to weather uncertain times. Ontario’s economy is strong. In fact, we are in better shape to weather a period of economic uncertainty than we ever have been. And while Ontario is already a very safe place to live, when it comes to jobs, safety and our economy, there is always more we can do. And we are working hard to do it. We have enormous pride and confidence in the people of Ontario, in their compassion for others, in their courage and character, and in their entrepreneurial spirit. Working together, we know we will achieve the bright, prosperous future the people of Ontario want and deserve. We want you to know that your government will continue to do everything possible to protect your jobs, our economy, our province – and you.
