AT A GLANCE Kids Help line call leads to arrest of local man AJAX —A call to the Kids Help Phone line from a 13-year-old local boy has led to the arrest of his father for assault, Durham Regional Police say. Sergeant Paul Malik said offi- cers attended an Ajax residence Saturday following a request from the Kids Help Phone, a toll-free line for children in distress, after a teenager called and reported being assaulted by his father. When police arrived at the resi- dence the parents weren’t home. Officers spoke to the boy and ob- served bruising on his neck, Sgt. Malik said. The 38-year-old father was questioned when he returned home and arrested for assault, he said, adding the Children’s Aid So- ciety is involved. The man, whose name was withheld to protect the child’s identi- ty, was released with a court date of Dec. 4.

Per YearPlus G.S.T. $275.00$275.00 From Ecker out of Tory leadership race BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM —Janet Ecker is dropping out of the race to replace Premier Mike Harris and throwing her support be- hind old political ally Ernie Eves. Mr. Eves, who served as deputy premier and minister of finance from June 1995 until February of this year when he quit politics to take a $1.2-mil- lion a year banking job with Credit Suisse First Boston Canada, is expected to official- ly announce his run for the pre- mier’s post sometime today (Wednesday). Ms. Ecker, the Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge MPP and edu- cation minister, said in an inter- view Monday she wouldn’t be seeking the leadership of the Conservative Party, choosing instead to support the former finance minister and deputy premier over the current one, Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaher- ty. “I’m going to be supporting Ernie Eves for the leadership of the party,” she said. “These are different times and we need a different leader with a different approach. Ernie offers that to the party, to the government and the people of Ontario.” Ms. Ecker added while she has the “greatest respect” for Mr. Flaherty and the work they’ve done together with other Durham MPPs, her choice for leader is Mr. Eves, although she also stressed the importance of “pulling togeth- er behind whoever will win. “This is a family fight and that makes it hard. Ernie has a more balanced and moderate approach for the times we’re in today.” As of Monday, Mr. Flaherty would still not confirm his run for the leadership, although he JANET ECKER ‘I’m going to be supporting Ernie Eves.’ JIM FLAHERTY Says he’s still undecided on leadership bid. Pickering pays tribute to the fallen Remembrance Day observed, poppy sales reach record PICKERING —Local war veterans, their families and local dignitaries remem- bered the fallen during som- bre community-based cere- monies Sunday. Annual Remembrance Day rituals — with added signifi- cant this year given the Sept. 11 attacks in the U.S. and the ‘new war’ against terrorism — were carried out simulta- neously in Ajax and Picker- ing. And the annual poppy campaign was given an unex- pected boost when Pickering Public Library board officials decided in October to ban do- nation boxes from their branches. The decision was quickly reversed following a public outcry, but the national attention gave the poppy cam- paign a huge boost. On Tuesday, officials at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 606 in Pickering said poppy proceeds have already surpassed last year, making it the most successful campaign in history. While the counting re- mained unfinished, branch president Jim Corbitt said the legion had already collected $37,200, up from last year’s total of $34,700. “I expect we’ll go over $40,000,” he said, adding members were still waiting to collect poppy boxes from banks and post offices, which were closed Monday. “All the news coverage of the library board brought the attention of the public to Remembrance Day and poppies were sold out across Canada.” Mr. Corbitt also attributed some of the success of this year’s poppy drive to concern for future veterans of the war on terrorism. He noted the funds help local veterans take care of medical costs not cov- ered by their pensions or health-care benefits. In Ajax, branch 322 mem- ber Reg Sherren said the poppy drive “went well”. He also didn’t have final figures, as boxes are still being collected. “There’s a lot of counting to do,” he added. Handle with care Catholic trustees debate validity of grades 3 and 6 test scores BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —With concern, caution and clarification, Durham’s Catholic school board released school-by-school provincial test results at Monday night’s board meeting. In May, more than 4,100 grades 3 and 6 students at the Durham Catholic District School Board wrote the Educa- tion Quality and Accountability Office’s (EQAO) reading, writ- ing and math assessments. The board’s overall results, released by the EQAO last week, in gen- eral are slightly lower than the provincial Grade 3 average and a bit higher than Ontario’s Grade 6 results. Board chairman Fred Jones said valid or not, the public uses the numbers to determine how well the board, and by extension the trustees, are performing. “So I think these numbers... ought to be of significant con- cern to all of us,” he said. “We all would like them to be better, and hopefully as we go through the review process this year, we can identify why we are not achieving (at the Grade 3) provincial level.” “We have quite a spread,” he continued. “Some (school num- bers) are very low measured against the board average, the provincial average, and some are significantly higher. I think what we ought to do as a board is be specific in the diagnostic so we can develop a plan to remedy that.” Pickering Trustee Fran Pereira argued the only way to validly test students is to track their progress throughout their school life. The students who wrote this year’s test, she noted, are not the same pupils who were assessed last year. “These scores, well, you can take them and do whatever you want with them because they’re not valid,” she said. Oshawa Trustee Stan Kar- wowski referred to public com- ments made by education direc- tor Grant Andrews, who sug- gested a lack of adequate provincial funding was a factor in the results. The board’s teach- ers and principals are doing “a wonderful job”, said the trustee, See ECKER page A2 RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Getting a jump on the competition DURHAM –– St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs’ Kareem McLaren (89) makes a leaping catch, while Henry Street High School Hawks’Aaron Robinson (24) at- tempts to break up the reception during Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) football championships in Oshawa Saturday.

The man turned himself in to Durham Regional Police in connection with an Oct. 19 in- cident at the 1450 Kingston Rd. store. That night, a man walked into the store around 10:50 p.m. and began slashing at cus- tomers with a knife. Several victims received minor cuts, but none required hospitalization. Jason Lindon Cadogan, of no fixed address, is charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, five counts of assault, two counts of threaten- ing death, and two counts of weapon dangerous. He was re- leased on bail Nov. 5, and will make his next court appearance at the Ontario Court of Justice in Oshawa Nov. 16. See DURHAM page A4 War veteran Harry Snape is overcome with emotion during Remembrance Day ceremonies Sunday in Pickering. RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo said he expects to make a decision over the “next few weeks”. He said he “admired” Mr. Eves and called him a “friend”, adding speculation that much of Bay Street’s financial backing for the leadership bid will now go to Mr. Eves doesn’t “concern” him, since he has plenty of financial support across the province. While Ms. Ecker said she received a lot of support from constituents while consider- ing a run, anoth- er reason she chose not to throw her hat in the ring was the financial burden of running a campaign. “I’m pleased with the level of support I have drawn... but I didn’t have the financial organi- zation or infra- structure to be in the race to win,” she said. She added Mr. Eves has been a big part of the provincial government’s team since the early years under Mr. Har- ris’s leadership, governing through “good and bad times” and sharing the load of some of the “heavy lift- ing” done by the Tories. “I’ve made a decision and Ernie is the leader we need,” she said. The conserv- ative leadership convention is set for Toronto on March 23, 2002. A/P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 14, 2001 Read up online at durhamregion.com College celebrates centre of attention ECKER from page A1 Ecker to support Eves in leadership race BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer WHITBY —Durham College is counting on its latest expansion to con- tinue providing students entering the workforce with the specialized skills being demanded by employers. The $5-million expansion of the Skills Training Centre in Whitby was officially opened Monday, with politi- cians, educators, and students applaud- ing the effort. Among the key features of the en- larged centre are a tiered lecture theatre with computer connections, a 25-seat learning commons, a 25-seat computer lab, new classrooms equipped for com- puter-based presentations, and a new student lounge. The expanded facility allows for another 500 full-time stu- dents to study in its skilled trades, ap- prenticeship and specialty programs. “When we opened the Skills Train- ing Centre in 1993, we knew we were setting a bold precedent for skilled trades and apprenticeship training in Ontario,” said Bev Balenko, vice-presi- dent of business and skills development at the college. “Employers tell us that our grads produce tangible results from their very first day on the job. Now we can produce even more of the highly skilled workers employers need.” The expansion project was funded by a $28.75-million grant the college received from the provincial govern- ment’s SuperBuild Growth Fund. The remainder of the money is being used on a major expansion at the college’s Oshawa campus. Jim Flaherty, Ontario’s deputy pre- mier and minister of finance, called the expansion “an important step in getting young people the skills they need. “Post-secondary education and training for jobs is a priority,” the Whit- by-Ajax MPP said at the opening. “This is money well-spent.” Since the centre first admitted stu- dents eight years ago, more than 10,000 pupils have graduated from its pro- grams.

Benefits: Reduce the possibility of skidding due to wheel lock-up. Provide improved steering control. Particularly beneficial on slippery or loose road surfaces. ABS assists the driver’s control of the vehicle thereby aiding in accident prevention. How it works: ABS uses wheel speed sensors, a hydraulic control unit, and an electronic control module. When the brake pedal is applied, the electronic control unit monitors information from the wheel sensors. When it is detected that a wheel is about to lock, the module signals the hydraulic unit to control brake pressure to that wheel. The system varies brake pressure to help ensure the wheel avoids locking while maximizing the vehicle’s control and drivability. Helpful Reminders from HONDA: When ABS is operating normally the brake pedal may feel hard when the ABS is activated and there may be a vibrating, chattering sound coming from the brake. This is normal, and it is impor tant to keep your foot on the brake when this happens. When driving a vehicle equipped with ABS there are a few things to remember to maximize your safety. Tires must be in good operating condition, with good tread and proper tire inflation – this too is impor tant on vehicles that aren’t equipped with ABS. Be sure to have comfortable, proper seat adjustment. Your foot should be able to rest on the brake pedal with a slight bend in the knee. When the pedal needs to be fully depressed your leg should be able to push the pedal further. Maintain the same safe stopping distance from the vehicles ahead of you as with conventional braking systems. Do not pump the brake, hold it down with a firm constant pressure, allow the ABS to do its job.

Mr. Hadley was arrested Jan. 8, 2000 and charged with assault for allegedly slapping Gillian Hadley, the 35-year- old mother of three, in the face and banging her head off a wall after he found her in bed with another man. Rather than hold Mr. Hadley for a bail hearing, Durham Regional Police re- leased the 34-year-old postal worker on an undertaking with conditions not to communicate directly or indirectly with Mrs. Hadley, and to remain away from her residence at 865 Hill- crest Rd., court has been told. At the coroner’s inquest probing the couple’s murder- suicide, Constable Maria Ian- nuzzuiello testified yesterday that as a then member of the force’s victims services unit, she placed a standard follow- up phone call to Mrs. Hadley on Jan. 13, 2000, as part of the unit’s mandate, to update her on the charges against her es- tranged husband and explain the terms of his release. Const. Iannuzziello said she advised Mrs. Hadley to alert police if he breached the terms and mailed her a copy of the release form along with a pam- phlet outlining the forms of support and assistance provid- ed by the unit. On Jan. 31, 2000, court heard, Mrs. Hadley called Const. Iannuzziello and told her someone attempted to break into her home the week prior using a key, but was pre- vented by the chain from en- tering the residence. “She felt it was Ralph,” said Const. Iannuzziello, adding that Mrs. Hadley had already filed a police report on the at- tempted break-in and an inves- tigation was pending at the time. There were no charges laid, however. During the same telephone conversation Mrs. Hadley also relayed to Const. Iannuzziello concerns that she had observed Mr. Hadley driving past her house at least five times since his Jan. 8 arrest, Const. Ian- nuzziello said. However, Const. Ian- nuzziello testified this did not constitute a breach of the un- dertaking since Mr. Hadley’s terms did not require him to remain any specific distance or radius from the Hillcrest Road address. Although an accused per- son’s release conditions will sometimes state that they must not be within 500 metres of a victim’s residence or place of employment, no such require- ment was attached to Mr. Hadley’s terms, Const. Ian- nuzziello testified, therefore he could not be charged with breaching. Mr. Hadley would eventual- ly be charged in February with criminally harassing Mrs. Hadley, breach of undertaking and breach of a separate court order stemming from prior al- legations he abused his severe- ly disabled stepson. This time, Mr. Hadley was held for a bail hearing, but re- leased by a justice of the peace with new, stricter conditions, the inquest has been told. He continuously broke those terms, too, court has heard. Early on June 20, 2000 he broke into the Hillcrest Road residence through a rear bed- room window and surprised Mrs. Hadley in the bathroom. A naked Mrs. Hadley fled to the street but was dragged back into the house by Mr. Hadley, who shot her to death in the foyer, then killed him- self.

RALPH HADLEY Investigation was pending following suspected attempted break-in at Pickering home. Coroner’s inquest called in father-daughter fatal accident DURHAM — A coroner’s inquest will examine, among other issues, the role a cell- phone had in the deaths of an Ajax father and daughter, killed last May when their truck collided with a freight train at a crossing in Pickering. Richard Schewe, 31, of Barrett Drive in Ajax, and two- year-old Mikaela Grace Schewe died when their pickup was struck by a train at the CP Rail crossing on Brock Road, just south of Taunton Road. A Durham Regional Police investigation concluded Mr. Schewe was talking on his cellphone at the time of the crash. Police said the crossing’s warning system was activated — lights were flashing and the gates were down — when the 1998 Dodge Ram entered the crossing just after 4 p.m. on May 7. The westbound train slammed into the truck killing the father and child instantly. Just prior to impact wit- nesses said the driver made a last-second attempt at stop- ping. There were 10-foot-long skid marks leading up to the tracks. The tragedy sparked debate and calls by some Ontario po- lice and politicians for a ban on the use of cellphones while driving. The inquest, which will take place early next year and is expected to last two weeks, will review the circumstances surrounding the deaths and may make recommendations aimed at preventing similar events. Sergeant Tom Whiteway, head of Durham police’s elite traffic management unit, does- n’t feel an “outright ban” on cellphones is necessary and said existing laws dealing with careless driving can be applied to cellphone users. Police search for pizza store bandit PICKER- ING - Durham Regional Police are investigating a robbery at Square Boy Pizza in the Bay Ridges Plaza. Around 9:30 p.m. on Mon- day, a black man in dark clothing with his face cov- ered, perhaps by a scarf, walked into the store, pointed a gun at the 39-year-old and 45-year-old men working there and de- manded money. The man made off with $150 and fled on foot. Anyone with information can call Durham Re- gional Police at 905-579-1520 or Crime Stop- pers at 905-436- 8477.

Mr. Andrews said the provincial stan- dard of Level 3, which translates to 70 to 79 per cent, is a mark not all children can achieve. And while the EQAO re- sults are “useful” for the board in chart- ing a course to improve, he said they should be taken in perspective. “We’re taking a picture, a snapshot at one point in time of where children are at,” he said. “It’s not a measure of progress, because you would have to know where they started from. Given the situation as I know it, I think we’re doing fine, thank you very much.” Mr. Andrews said a number of fac- tors contribute to student success, in- cluding parental income, education and even a child’s birth weight. Gerry Blake, elementary schools su- perintendent, said the best way to view the results is in the context of the overall board results and the provincial num- bers, echoing an EQAO statement that school-by-school comparisons are not useful. The board plans to announce its provincially-mandated plan for im- provement in February.

How a Mother’s Gift Helped This Woman Shed 149 Lbs! My name is Ellen Bragg. I am a customer service representative. I have been married to my husband, Gerry, for 34 years. We have 4 children and 8 grandchildren. Thanks to a unique gift from my mother, I melted off a staggering 149 lbs. effortlessly! My dress size plunged from an obese 26 to a lean 10. The following is my account of true and lasting weight loss success. By: Ellen Bragg I was overweight most of my life. At age 12, I gained weight virtually overnight. When I was 13, the doctor had to put me on a diet because I was nearly 200 pounds! He and my mother tried to keep me on the diet but I lost only 5 pounds. By the age 18, I was heavy, uncomfortable and utterly miserable! My eating was out of control. I never ate breakfast and rarely ate lunch. At night, the boredom set it. I’d eat non-stop. Chips... sweets... whatever I could get my hands on. I reached the point where my tremendous weight was seriously affecting my health. Severe arthritis made try any diet. I went on a cabbage diet, a watermelon diet, and a soup and Melba toast diet. Sometimes I’d lose weight, but the pounds were always right back plus more. I felt out of control. It was like a madness. I’d be eating and eating, knowing I shouldn’t be doing it, but also knowing that I couldn’t stop it. One day I read about Positive Changes Hypnosis in the newspaper. The story featured about a dozen people who had received amazing results after being hypnotized. I was skeptical. It sounded too good to be true. I picked up the telephone and scheduled my free hypnosis screening. My Best Gift Ever... I was immediately impressed with the professionalism at Positive Changes Hypnosis. My free hypnosis screening was a rare treat. The entire staff made me feel at home. There were no hard sales tactics. My consultant explained the program and what I could expect. I was impressed but uncer tain. Finally, my skepticism won out. I went home. That night I couldn’t stop talking about my hypnotic screening. I told my mother how I had witnessed hundreds of testimonials... on video and in writing. ‘I honestly think hypnosis can help me,’ I’d said. She smiled and told me that if I really wanted to lose weight, she would make Positive Changes Hypnosis my birthday present... it was my best gift ever! Bless The Day... I bless the day I started at Positive Changes Hypnosis. I opened my eyes after my first session and knew hypnosis was my answer. On my way home that evening, I made a quick stop at the corner grocery. I walked right past the chips and made a beeline for the fruit. My cart was full of fruit and bottled water. My skepticism vanished! Since then my attitude toward food has changed completely. I crave fresh fruits and vegetables. I only want to drink water and juices. My desire for soft drinks has vanished. In three short weeks, I had lost 23 lbs. My energy level skyrocketed. Three months into the program, I had lost 50 lbs. For the first time in my life, I was actually enjoying long walks and exercise. After seven short months, I had lost 100 lbs. and dropped 5 dress sizes! It was a milestone I never dreamed I’d reach. If I Can Lose Weight, So Can You! If you want to take control of your weight problem, begin hypnosis with Positive Changes right away. If I can do it, so can you. I set a goal of shedding 140 lbs. I’ve exceeded that goal. Best of all, I know that I will keep my weight off forever. What fun I will have this summer with my eight grandchildren doing what I thought I would never do again... swimming, picnics, long walks. © Positive Changes Hypnosis™ it difficult to get around. I had high blood pressure and felt tired all the time. To put it mildly, I was unhappy, unhealthy and downright fed-up. It was not just the physical pain. I was embarrassed and self- conscious. I obsessed about what other people thought of me. I was suffering with no end in sight. Dieting Madness I tried losing weight with most of the national diet chains.

Ontario Early Years BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Two Pick- ering families escaped with their lives and not much else as flames engulfed their Redwood Lane homes early Tuesday morning. Several witnesses said a loud explosion awoke them at around 4 a.m. yesterday in the Liverpool Road and Finch Avenue area. They found a quickly spreading garage fire at 1311 Redwood Lane and firefighters asking them to evacuate their homes. Streets in the normally quiet neighbourhood were filled with shocked and scared neighbours watching firefighters battle the blaze, which spread to the home next door. Mary Sager, of 1313 Red- wood Lane, said she heard the noise and woke up to find the house next door, and then her own, ablaze. “We heard a boom and woke up. We looked out and saw flames coming from the neigh- bours’ garage,” she explained Tuesday morning. “We called 911 and got everyone out of the house, then our place caught fire too.” Ms. Sager said as far as she knew, everyone in both houses, including her three children and the neighbours’ five, were fine, although the damage to her home was “devastating. “The top floor is gone. It’s everything we own. All the kids’ toys in the playroom... we have nothing left, not even clothes for the kids to go to school.” Deputy Fire Chief Mark Diotte said Pickering Fire Ser- vices arrived shortly after 4 a.m. and was able to get the fire under control in less than half an hour. He confirmed no one was hurt, adding “extensive damage” was done to both homes and both structures were left with no roof and deemed uninhabitable. Kevin Shields, 21, of 1309 Redwood Lane, the house on the other side of where the fire start- ed, said he and his family feel very lucky. “If the wind was blowing the other way it would have been our house,” he said in an interview at the scene. “We were really lucky.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 14, 2001 PAGE A5 P Fire guts two Pickering homes, families flee to safety ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Fire ripped through two homes in Pickering overnight Monday, leaving two families temporarily homeless.

The results were released Monday night by officials with the Durham Catholic District School Board and are based on standardized tests mandated by the provincial govern- ment and written by students in grades 3 and 6 last May. According to the figures, the Durham Catholic board is slightly above or just below the provincial average in Grade 6 testing when examining reading, writing and math scores, while slightly below in all areas for Grade 3. The results are based on a so-called ‘Level 3’ standard, which translates into a mark of between 70 and 79 per cent. It’s important to note students not achieving Level 3 haven’t necessarily failed the test. Rather, they simply haven’t hit the ‘B’grade standard or higher set out by the EQAO. Consequently, Catholic students in Durham are, in ef- fect, keeping up with their provincial peers and being ade- quately schooled in reading, writing and arithmetic. How- ever, some of the excuses from trustees notwithstanding, it remains clear there is still much work to be done to improve both on an individual school basis and board-wide. Contained within the school-by-school numbers, which are more alarming than the overall scores, are a wide-range of results. Where one Durham school shows only 15 per cent of its Grade 6 students nearing the magic ‘Level 3’ in math, another came in at 73. For those pupils studying in Grade 3, there are similar discrepancies in math, from a low of 17 per cent, to a high of 86. We agree with education director Grant Andrews, who believes the test results are useful to the board in terms of planning remedial measures to improve overall scores. But, despite suggestions it is folly to compare individual schools, it’s difficult for taxpayers and parents not to iden- tify such wide discrepancies in facilities that all fall under the auspices of the same board. Certainly there are some social and environmental fac- tors that influence scores from school to school, but to as- sign those factors as the reason for a less-than-adequate score is to deflect responsibility. No one is suggesting the Durham Catholic District School Board isn’t doing its job with the tools at its dispos- al. But, these tests are done for a reason; it’s incumbent on the Catholic board to accept the results and follow through on a plan to improve. For a short while, at least, it looked as if Durham Region had two solid contenders to offer up as rivals for leadership of the provincial Conservatives and the province. Alas, Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP and Education Minister Janet Ecker has instead opted to help the returning Ernie Eves find his path to glory. Durham still has an able contender in Jim Flaherty, of course, who replaced Mr. Eves as finance minister when he left government service to earn real money on Bay Street. The Whitby-Ajax MPP’s biggest barrier now, of course, is the fact he replaced the man who now wants to replace Pre- mier Mike Harris. It will be hard for Mr. Flaherty to run on Mr. Eves’ record of economic prosperity if Mr. Eves is al- ready running on his own record. Whether or not you support the Conservatives and their single-minded obsession with fiscal prudence, it’s encour- aging to note Durham Region has produced two high-pro- file cabinet members who helped lead successive initiatives of the Harris government’s Common Sense Revolution. Mr. Flaherty has done an admirable job as finance min- ister; Ms. Ecker has been inspiring in her quiet and deter- mined approach to finding common ground in the educa- tion ministry in these last two tumultuous years. Either could serve Ontario ably as premier, and both can bring their considerable experience and knowledge to a fu- ture government in any role. Too bad Mr. Eves had to go and mess things up for us here at home. This was the race that never was. The test is in board’s response Despite overall average numbers, remedial plan needs to be implemented Never meant to be Despite initial potential, race for premier won’t be centred in Durham Ernie Eves has most of the equipment needed to be premier — but does he have the heart? This has to be a dilemma for Progressive Conservatives choos- ing a successor to Premier Mike Harris. The former deputy premier and finance minister, until he quit nine months ago to make money in the private sector, always loomed as potentially the strongest starter in the race to succeed Mr. Harris. That is, if he could ever make up his mind to run. Mr. Eves had been the pre- mier’s closest political friend, un- questionably competent in manag- ing his ministry and a polished, smooth and well-informed spokesman for his party in the leg- islature. Part of his job was substituting for Mr. Harris in answering ques- tions during the premier’s ab- sences and, particularly in the gov- ernment’s early years before Mr. Harris began to acquire some rough-and-tumble debating abili- ties of his own, some wondered whether the Tories chose the wrong leader. One difference between the two, however, is that while they became MPPs together, Mr. Harris was the one who itched to lead al- though the Tories had no early chance of winning. He sought policies that suited the mood of the voters‚ went anywhere to promote them and eventually won with them. Mr. Eves has the record as the minister who announced the tax cuts and eventually balanced bud- gets that still are the Harris Tories’ greatest pride, although he mainly followed an agenda written by Mr. Harris. Mr. Eves reminds them of their glory days, which they will look back on proudly and will not be as common now that the economy is close to recession and the Province will have no money for more tax cuts. But Mr. Eves also has liabilities that should make Tories ponder. After a couple of years as deputy premier and finance minister, he was seen less and less in the legis- lature and his office. He was no longer there much to field questions for Mr. Harris or himself, but escaped censure be- cause Mr. Harris also was away often and the opposition parties and news media naturally focused more on the premier’s disappear- ances. This is a contrast to Jim Flaher- ty, who succeeded Mr. Eves in his posts and is now a rival for leader. He is virtually always in the legis- lature to speak for the government and answer questions when Mr. Harris is absent. Mr. Eves also was not seen as much in the finance minister’s tra- ditional office across the road from the legislature and claimed he did most of his work in a second office in the legislature building, but somehow he rarely found time to walk up a floor to the chamber. Tory backbenchers who wanted a minister with public appeal to speak in their ridings often found Mr. Eves could not make it. One suspicion is that with his skills, he felt so much on top of his two jobs and in so little trouble in them there was no need for him to be around. Mr. Eves hesitated a long time over running again in the 1999 election and agreed to reluctantly only a few weeks before it. After winning again he showed some unwillingness to buckle down to the job. When media in his riding com- plained he did not visit it enough, he retorted curtly that anyone who felt a deputy premier and finance minister could get to his riding as often as an ordinary MPP does, was not living in the real world. Other ministers did as much or more work than Mr. Eves, but managed to get to their ridings often enough and never suggested they were too busy to visit the folks who elected them back home. Mr. Eves, in effect, admitted he was not getting to his riding enough by refusing to provide local media with the itineraries that would have showed how rarely he was there. When Mr. Harris announced he was leaving, Mr. Eves first insisted running to succeed him was the furthest thing from his mind. It was only after several minis- ters urged him to run and support- ers produced a couple of polls they claimed showed he could beat all others that Mr. Eves warmed to the idea. Mr. Eves wanted the job only if it could be handed to him on a platter. But being premier takes huge enthusiasm, energy and effort. No one has ever doubted Mr. Eves has talent — but has this guy got the commitment? He has talent, style, ability but... Does Ernie Eves really want to be the next premier of Ontario?

Not so fast. Let’s look at this horse’s teeth. You laud the minister for a Solomon-like decision on the Oak Ridges Moraine but it ain’t such a good deal after all. Not when you take a closer look at it. Development and urban sprawl will be contained somewhat it’s true. But the government’s move doesn’t work such a hardship on developers that the sprawl will end. Development will continue to eat away at the Oak Ridges Moraine. What’s worse, sand and gravel extraction will continue even in the so-called natural areas. As to the extremely valuable but unmapped water resource beneath the hills, we’ve yet to see an indication that government is determined to pro- tect it. Your unbridled enthusiasm for the compromise is not universally shared. Many are grateful the worst abuses may be stopped, but many of us are quite ready to look this gift horse in the mouth. Bruce Rogers OIT great for students, Durham To the editor: As a student at Durham College, I believe the Ontario Institute of Technology (OIT) will definitely be an asset to Durham Region. Many people have worked countless hours to make this 30- year-old dream a reality and they deserve to see the university name attached to OIT. Students who at- tend OIT will have the option of getting a degree, a diploma, or both. It will provide hundreds of new jobs, new research capacity and substantial purchasing and con- struction investments. Gary Polon- sky, president of Durham College and OIT, has said the economic im- pact will be about $1.7 billion per year. There are other schools that were once colleges themselves and are now recognized as universities. I know many people who have at- tended university to receive a ‘well- rounded’ education, only to attend college afterwards to get the practi- cal experience they need to get a job. Unlike many of its counterparts, OIT will provide its students with a degree and the practical experience that many employers want. As Di- anne Cunningham, Ontario minis- ter of training, colleges and univer- sities said at the opening announce- ment:“OIT at Durham plans to link education and skills training with the needs of the marketplace and offer a wide-range of career-orient- ed programs and our goal is to combine one-stop shopping for stu- dents looking for a mix of acade- mics and hands-on experience.” As a student I think the provin- cial government definitely made an excellent decision when they chose to fund Durham’s new university.

From Nov. 14 to 16, its 11th annual national conference and exhibits will be held in Montre- al. This year’s conference ‘make a difference... compost’, will cover all aspects of com- posting and compost market de- velopment opportunities. Top- ics include: innovative pro- grams, early education, market- ing and sales strategies, agricul- tural and environmental man- agement strategies, and nation- al and international develop- ments. Closer to home, the council will host two sessions at the up- coming Canadian Waste and Recycling Expo at The Interna- tional Centre in Toronto from Nov. 28 to 29. This annual event features equipment, prod- ucts and services, as well as 10 conference sessions on waste management. Visit the Web site at www.exposition.com for com- plete details of speakers, ses- sions and registration, or call 1- 877-226-5355. To find out more about the CCC, visit www.compost.org. ❑ ❑ ❑ Home renovators and con- tractors can take old and broken drywall free of charge to Can- Sort to be recycled. Located at 1048 Toy Ave., (just east of Brock Road off Bayly Street in Pickering), Can-Sort will ship the drywall to Gypsum Recy- cling Inc., where it gets processed before being sent away as an ingredient for the production of new drywall. For any further information, call 905-428-2755. ❑ ❑ ❑ You can still purchase a composter from the Town of Ajax or the City of Pickering at the subsidized cost of $20. Now is a perfect time to begin com- posting as the unit will be empty at the beginning of the winter months. During the cold weather it will fill to the top as the composting cycle slows down, but come the first warm days of spring, the volume will shrink to half allowing you to compost all summer long. If you already backyard compost and there is no room for your pumpkin, this is the time of year (before frost comes) to remove your com- poster from the pile and place it in a new location. Next, turn over the heap, adding lots of au- tumn leaves. Top the heap with more leaves and cover with some dark plastic to draw the sun’s heat. When spring ar- rives, the mound should be ready for use. ❑ ❑ ❑ Pickering and Ajax residents are both on four-bag limits when it comes to trash collec- tion. However, you can put out as many blue boxes or hampers as you wish. You will need one container for newspapers and all household paper, one to gather cans and plastic coded No. 1 items, and another for glass only. Aluminium pie plates can go in either as they are few and will be recognized quickly by the collector. Bundle boxboard and cardboard togeth- er. Do your part and separate at the curb to allow for faster pick- up service. ❑ ❑ ❑ Canadians take home more than 55 million shopping bags a week. Try to reuse those bags or bring reusable cloth bags when you shop. Dominion-Sav-A- Centre in the Amberlea Plaza in Pickering has a special bin to take all clean plastic film bags. Also, Sears will take back its own bags to recycle into new ones. The market for plastic film is very low at present, therefore they are not wanted in the blue box.

Football club deals with injury as it prepares for Metro Bowl play BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —The thoughts of St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs’ players are understandably elsewhere as they prepare for Sunday’s Metro Bowl quarter-final contest. The Monarchs (9-0) won their third consec- utive Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) crown Saturday with a dominating 41-12 victory over Whitby’s Henry Street High School Hawks (7-2) at Oshawa Civic Stadium. The win, however, was marred by an injury to special team player Myron Dacosta, who was crushed by a Hawks’ player on the last play of the game. Dacosta lay motionless for several minutes, but was later able to move his arms and legs before being taken by ambulance to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Reached by the News Advertiser Monday, St. Mary head coach Gordon Judges said the school board’s privacy policy prevented him from saying much about Dacosta’s condition. He did, however, reveal Dacosta is still in hos- pital (not in Ajax and Pickering), and is going to need time to heal, as well as rehabilitation and further tests. Judges said the injury has definitely taken the lustre off the LOSSA championship. “When Myron was injured it put football in perspective. Winning doesn’t really matter,” he said. “There’s a lot of hope, but we’re just praying for a recovery.” St. Mary advances to the Metro Bowl quarter-finals at York Univer- sity in Toronto Nov. 18 at 1:30 p.m. The Mon- archs, the number-one seed in the east, will hook up with the fourth-seeded Notre Dame College Irish of Welland, the Southern Ontario Secondary School Association’s runners-up. Meanwhile, the second-seeded Markham Dis- trict High School Marauders, the York Region champs, meet number-three St. Michael’s Col- lege Kerry Blues, the Toronto Catholic board champs, at York . Judges said Notre Dame is an unknown quantity to the Monarchs and, conversely, the Monarchs are a mystery to the Irish. He does, however, believe a similar effort to the one put forth in the LOSSA final should give Notre Dame all it can handle. “You never know, but we certainly played very well on Saturday. My feeling is if we con- tinue to play at the same level our chances are good,” he said. As it has so often this season, the Monarchs’ defence came up with big plays to put the Hawks on their heels and set the tone early in Saturday’s game. Two St. Mary first-quarter in- terceptions allowed the offence to capitalize for a pair of touchdowns for a 14-0 lead. Pivot Erik Glavic, on a quarterback sneak from about four yards out, and brother Sasha Glavic, on a 20-yard run, scored the first ma- jors. In the second quarter, Erik Glavic hooked up with receiver Ryan D’Sousza on a 22-yard strike to put the Monarchs in front 21-0 at half- time. Sasha Glavic scored his second TD of the NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 14, 2001 PAGE B1 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 14, 2001 RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo OSHAWA ––Henry Street High School Hawks’ running back Jason Pottinger (33) goes head over heels after being tackled by St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs’Jon Walsh (31) during the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics football final in Oshawa Saturday. The Monarchs were victorious 41-12. OSHAWA —Sinclair Secondary School Celtics didn’t wait long to make an impact in high school football. In its first-ever season of Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) football competition, the Whitby school (4-4-1) claimed the regional ‘B’ title 22-1 over the Dunbarton High School Spartans at the Os- hawa Civic Stadium Saturday. Scoring touchdowns for the Celtics were Adam Bright, Adam Penner and Jerome Miller. David Price added three converts and a single. Celtics coach George Burford was justifi- ably proud of his charges, many of whom had never played football entering the school’s in- augural season. ••• Following the ‘A’championship game, won by St. Mary 41-12 over Henry Street, LOSSA football convener Rick Townend presented the league most valuable player awards.

The Panthers doubled the neighbouring Ajax Axemen 6-3 at the Ajax Community Centre Sunday, after starting the weekend with a 6-1 home-ice victory over the Oshawa Legionaires in OHA Ontario Provin- cial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action Friday. With the victories, the Panthers (8-12-2-1 for 19 points) moved into fifth place in the nine-team South Con- ference standings, three points behind the Thornhill Rattlers. Panthers’ veterans Garett Winder and Dan Schofield showed the way with outstanding efforts in both contests. Winder scored a pair of goals and added an assist against Ajax and added a goal versus Oshawa. Meanwhile, Schofield — playing with an injured shoulder — managed a goal and an assist in both games. The veterans, noted Panthers’ head coach Bill Purcell, took the load on their shoulders to help achieve a couple of much-needed wins while the team continues to strug- gle with injuries. “They took the bull by the horns and ran with it. They contributed a great deal to our success. Winder was like a horse out there. The more ice time we gave him, the bet- ter he played,” said Purcell. The Panthers also received solid contributions from unlikely sources during the weekend. Schomberg junior ‘C’ affiliate call-up Ted Leeb fired a pair of goals against Ajax, while Pickering ‘AA’ juvenile call-up Tony Mc- Mulkin produced a goal in the Oshawa game. The Panthers goaltending, noted Purcell, was also ex- ceptional. Newcomer Kevin Kliman, who came to Picker- ing from the Thornhill Rattlers, recorded his first win in a Panthers’ uniform Friday, making 32 saves. Meanwhile, Scott Gray continued his solid play, picking up the win against Ajax. He made 29 saves. Sunday’s win continued the Panthers’ dominance over Ajax. In four games between the teams, the Panthers have won three consecutive meetings, after losing the regular- season opener Sept. 12. After Ajax took a 1-0 first-period lead, the Panthers outscored the Axemen 4-1 in the second. Ajax drew with- in a goal early in the third period before Pickering scored twice to put the game out of reach. In addition to Winder and Leeb, Mike Alexiou and Kyle Aitken scored for the Panthers. Other assists went to Aitken with two, Brent Chandler, Scott Mitchell, Kevin Rogers, Paul McFarland, Alexiou and Iain McPhee. After giving up the first goal to Oshawa’s Mike Mokedanz 22 seconds into Friday’s game, it was all Pan- thers. Aitken, Schofield, Winder, Jay Grant, Ryan Taylor and McMulkin scored. Assisting were McFarland with two, Winder, Chandler, Mitchell, Sean Bradley and Leeb. The Panthers are in Vaughan to play the Vipers this Saturday night. On Sunday, they host the North Confer- ence’s Parry Sound Shamrocks at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex at 7:30 p.m. PANTHERS’ POSTSCRIPT:Forwards Colin Jen- nings (groin) and Scott Oldfield (wrist) were missing from the weekend games.

Panthers purr-fect at Detroit ‘Extravaganza’event PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers Sheridan Dental minor peewee ‘AA’rep hockey team travelled to the U.S. only to meet a neighbouring foe in the final of the Detroit Extrava- ganza Tournament last weekend. The Panthers qualified first overall with three wins and were matched up against the Ajax Knights in the Sunday af- ternoon final. The Panthers stormed out to an early lead and never let up, skating to a decisive 6-0 victory. Kevin Prebble and James Balsdon shared the shutout in the final. Mathew Kavanagh, Nicholas Johnston, Shawn Watson, Kyle Ramsay, Travis Hendry and Chris Paul scored. Assists went to Hendry with two, Craig Watters, Ian Doherty, Michael Hurl, Johnston, Watson and Ryan Lamanna. The peewees dumped opponents from both sides of the border to bring home the hardware for the second year in a row The Panthers started the tournament with a 7-1 victory over Midland, Michigan. John Paterson fired a hat trick, while Hendry, Paul, Kavanagh and Watson also scored. Assists went to Lamanna and Hendry each with two, and Hurl, Ramsay, Michael Mayne, Adam Morra, Johnston and Paterson with one apiece. Prebble and Balsdon were stellar. Pickering played the Knights in Game 2, winning 6-1. Prebble was outstanding, shutting down any major Ajax of- fensive threats. Watson with two, and Watters, Matthew Miller, Paterson and Ramsay scored. Assisting were Doherty, Hurl, Watters, Paul, Kavanagh, Watson and Ramsay. The Panthers then beat the tough Easton Ice Dragons from Columbus, Ohio, 5-2. Johnston led the way with two goals, with Hendry, Ramsay and Watson chipping in with singles. Miller, Morra, Watters, Mayne, Paterson, and Hendry drew assists. Balsdon was solid once again. The peewees came back from the tourney and right away had to go up against defending OMHA York-Simcoe ‘AA’ league champion Markham Waxers. The Panthers fell behind 4-1 early, but came storming back with six consecutive goals to defeat the Waxers 7-5 in a gruelling, hard-fought contest. Lamanna led the way with a hat trick. Hurl, Mayne, Wat- son and Ramsay scored the others. Assists went to Paterson with two, and Brandon Racicot, Morra, Watters, Watson, Johnston, Miller, Kavanagh, Ramsay and Hendry. Prebble and Balsdon shared the goaltending duties. The Panthers beat the Peterborough Nationals 5-2 in an- other hard-fought battle. Balsdon was outstanding in stopping 17 shots. Paterson led the way with two goals, while Watson, Lamanna, and Ramsay earned singles. Assists went to Hendry with three, Paterson, Ramsay, Lamanna, Watters, and Hurl.

Notice of Public Meetings • • • Local man wins Canadian honour for ‘Nuremburg’ BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor PICKERING —It was icing on the cake after a long year of work for Whitevale matte artist Mark Fordham. The icing came in the form of a Gemini Award for ‘best visual effects’ at the annual celebration of Canadian televi- sion in Toronto last week. Fordham and his team from Toronto-based Calibre Digital Pictures earned the honour from the Academy of Canadi- an Cinema and Television for their work on the historical drama ‘Nuremburg’, which aired on U.S. network TNT and on CTV in Canada last year. “It’s great, just terrific,” said Fordham. He was joined on stage by co-workers Noel Hooper and Michael Pieczon- ka, as presenters Ben Mul- roney and Monica Kim handed over the unique statuettes. ‘Nuremburg’ won out over four other nominees, including two episodes of ‘Stargate SG- 1’, ‘Gene Roddenberry’s An- dromeda’and ‘The Outer Lim- its’. ‘Nuremburg’, produced by Alliance-Atlantis and La Fete in association with TNT, British American Entertain- ment and Cypress Films, rep- resented about 12 months of painstaking research along with the work of creating real- istic paintings that served as backdrops for the made-for- television movie, said Ford- ham, the head of the matte de- partment at Calibre. “Nuremburg was a long one, taking close to a year of work,” said Fordham. “It was one of those pro- jects were you had to be ab- solutely historically accurate.” The movie details the infa- mous trial after the Second World War of the 21 members of the Nazi high command for war crimes. Fordham said the updated ‘Nuremburg’succeeds where the Hollywood movie of the 1960s ‘Judgement at Nuremburg’, starring Spencer Tracy and Burt Lancaster, failed in providing precise data of the events surrounding the trial. “We wanted to make sure it was an accurate historical de- piction of the event,” said Fordham. “The first ‘60s Hollywood movie was totally inaccurate, a total fabrication.” Among the challenges for the matte team was depicting the bombed-out city of Nuremburg as it was in post- war Germany. The matte work was also critical in setting a sombre mood for the film, added Fordham. “We wanted to make it Gothic, very haunting.” But, receiving the Gemini was somewhat ironic for Ford- ham. Earlier this year, Ford- ham and his team were also nominated for an Emmy Award in the category of ‘out- standing special visual effects for a mini-series, movie or special’ for his work on the made-for-television movie, ‘Haven’. The irony lies in the fact ‘Haven’ didn’t even receive a nomination for a Gemini. “It’s a little reminder that there is some politics in- volved,” he said. In addition to the Gemini, ‘Nuremburg’ placed as a final- ist at the International Telepro- ductions Society’s Internation- al Monitor Awards and was second-best in the visual ef- fects category at the Vancou- ver Effects and Animation Fes- tival.

BUYER BEWARE: 13 Extra Costs to be Aware of Before Buying a Home DURHAM REGION: Whether you’re looking to buy your first home, or trading up to a larger one, there are many costs - on top of the purchase price - that you must figure into your calculation of affordability. These extra fees, such as taxes and other additional costs, could surprise you with an unwanted financial nightmare on closing day if you’re not informed and prepared. Some of these costs are one-time fixed payments, while others represent an ongoing monthly or yearly commitment. While not all of these costs will apply in every situation, it’s better to know about them ahead of time so you can budget properly. Remember, buying a home is a major milestone, and whether it’s your first, second or tenth, there are many small but important details, not to mention stress and excitement, to deal with during the process. The last thing you need are unbudgeted financial obligations in the hours before you take possession of your new home. To help homebuyers understand what these extra costs are, and in what situations they may apply, a free industry report has been prepared called “13 Extra Costs to Be Aware of Before Buying a Home”. To hear a brief pre-recorded message about how to order your free copy of this report, call 1-800-515-1698 and enter ID #1008. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call now to make sure you’re budgeting properly for your next move.

Henry Street running back Jason Pot- tinger finally put the Hawks on the scoreboard early in the fourth quarter. Okrasa, with an eight-yard ramble to the end zone, and Hawks receiver Mike Weir’s 22-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Dave Munns ended the scoring. In addition to his two touchdowns, Okrasa added four converts and a sin- gle. The fullback earned the game’s of- fensive most valuable player award. “I’ve got to give thanks to the O-line. (They’re the reason) why the game was 41-12. Both our offensive and defensive lines were outstanding. When you dom- inate the line of scrimmage, you win,” he said. Sasha Glavic was named the game’s defensive MVP. P PAGE B8 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 14, 2001 Two ties and a loss leaves Panthers out of tourney’s playoff round PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers major novice ‘AA’ rep hockey team had its hands full with U.S. competition at the re- cent Detroit Sportsweekend Tournament. The Panthers posted two ties and a loss at the inter- national event, not good enough to advance to the playoffs of the tournament they captured a year ago. The Pickering novices started the event with a 4-4 draw against Winterhurst from Cleveland, Ohio. The Panthers led 4-1 early in the game, before the Americans came back. Jordan Bean, Brandon Wieser, Charlie Graber and Tommy Reid tallied for Pickering. Assist- ing were Michael Straub, Chris Stuart, Reid and Graber. In the second game, Pickering lost to a strong Dearborn, Michigan squad 5-1. Dylan Banks recorded the lone Pickering goal.
