some secrets
of wedded bliss
BY JANE McDONALD
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Two of the
most frequently quoted lines in
all of English poetry can be
found on the refrigerator of an
Oshawa kitchen. They’ve been
there ever since Bob Hart
copied them out for his wife
Marion in 1989, the day he re-
tired.
‘Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be ...’
The paper has yellowed a
bit these past dozen or so
years, but so far, the first two
lines of Robert Browning’s fa-
mous poem have come true.
Mr. and Mrs. Hart are closing
in on 50 years of wedded bliss
(they celebrate their 49th this
year) and admit to being one of
the rarest of species on the
planet: a happily married cou-
ple.
Tomorrow, on Valentine’s
Day, they will once again ex-
change cards: Mrs. Hart’s will
be the same one that says, ‘I
Love You,’ only with the year
‘2002’added to the long list of
years diligently recorded since
she began giving her husband
the same card 22 years ago.
Mr. Hart, 74, gave his wife a
handmade Valentine last Feb-
ruary and is a little coy about
what he plans this year. Both,
however, willingly share what
they have discovered makes a
successful marriage.
“Communication,” says
Mrs. Hart, 75, when asked
what’s important to a thriving
union. “We don’t have any se-
crets. Positive thinking is im-
portant. And everything is
ours, not mine or yours. And
every day we count our bless-
ings.”
Not surprisingly, her hus-
band is on the same wave-
length. As well as quoting em-
inent poets, Mr. Hart is fond of
another saying he says sums up
Airport authority
notes feds will make
final decision
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —The first
meeting of a Pickering airport
committee brought Greater
Toronto Airports Authority
(GTAA) president and chief ex-
ecutive officer Louis Turpen to
Pickering last week — and the
company’s plans should keep
him here.
In an interview following the
closed-door meeting of the Pick-
ering Advisory Committee
(PAC), Mr. Turpen said even
though the final decision rests
with the federal government, the
process of constructing an air-
port on the federally owned
lands in north Pickering is be-
ginning and the first step is
building a business case.
“Can Pickering sustain an
airport? Can it support itself? Is
there sufficient demand? What
are the costs and can we afford
it?” Mr. Turpen asked as an ex-
ample of the type of questions

Questions remain following inquest
Women’s group,
Ecker at odds over
implementation
of Hadley inquest jury
recommendations
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Ontario
Attorney General David Young
and local MPP Janet Ecker say
the provincial government wel-
comes recommendations from
the recently concluded Hadley
inquest, but at least one
women’s organization remains
skeptical, claiming similar rec-
ommendations may have been
previously ignored.
“They’ve had the recom-
mendations from the May-Iles
inquest for almost four years
and few have been implement-
ed,” said Pamela Cross, legal
director of the Ontario
Women’s Justice Network
(OWJN). “I want to see some
action...women are dying, 50 a
year in this province alone.”
The Hadley inquest, which
wrapped up last week with 58
sweeping recommendations for
changes to the bail system and
social housing, had been look-
ing in to the June 20, 2000
murder of Pickering resident
Gillian Hadley, shot in the head
by her estranged husband
Ralph Hadley, who subse-
quently committed suicide.
Before the murder, Mr.
Hadley had been facing assault
charges stemming from previ-
ous domestic disputes and was
released from police custody
on the undertaking he stay
away from Mrs. Hadley.
Prior to the inquest’s begin-
ning, OWJN, an organization
promoting understanding of
the law with respect to the
issue of violence against
women and children, called on
the government to cancel the
coroner’s inquest and instead
implement the 213 recommen-
dations coming out of the four-
year-old Arlene May-Randy
Iles inquest.
Similar to the Hadley case,
Collingwood, Ontario resident
Arlene May was murdered in
March 1996 by her former
boyfriend and Oshawa resident
Randy Iles, who then killed
himself. The murder followed
months of alleged abuse,
threats and harassment, which
were reported to police. At the
time of the murder-suicide, Mr.
Iles had been charged with sev-
eral offences against Ms. May
and was free on bail, including
a prohibition on having any
contact with her.
Now, following the end of
the Hadley inquest, Ms. Cross
said although the Hadley jury
did a “fabulous job” and their
recommendations were “out-
standing” she remains uncon-
vinced of the government’s
commitment to implement
them.
And, although she said the
Hadley recommendations in-
cluded more of a focus on so-
cial housing, a requirement for
Gillian Hadley that did not
exist for Arlene May, she feels

AJAX –– Pickering High School Trojans’Amber Austin (left) whacks the puck off the
stick of a St. Stephen’s player during Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics

Ralph and Gillian Hadley’s wedding day, long before the
events that led to her murder and his suicide.
his philosophy:
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery,
and today is a gift. That’s why we call it the pre-
sent,” he quotes, with a smile that lights up the
room.
The Harts are a popular couple among their
contemporaries and with the friends they’ve
made in the neighbourhood where they’ve lived
for almost 40 years. Another reason why they are
enjoying life so much, Mrs. Hart surmises, might
be because they have many good friends 20 or 30
years younger.
“It keeps you younger by cultivating younger
friends ... if you spend time with happy, young
people,” she explains. “We have pool parties and
neighbourhood parties. I always have the (bridal
and baby) showers for the young people.”
“We’ve always kept our senses of humour,”
adds Mr. Hart. “And I don’t leave the house with-
out saying goodbye ... most often with a hug and
a kiss.”
Not every day in the last half century has been
happy. The Harts have had their share of ‘clouds:’
a serious illness and then the loss of a beloved
child. Mr. Hart was on the road throughout the
work week for 18 years, so Mrs. Hart knows first-
hand the hardships of being a single parent: hav-
ing to discipline their three children, making sure
homework was done and, in every other way,
holding down the home front.
“Some problems can pull you apart or bring
you together,” she confides. “When I was down,
he was strong and vice versa.”
But the tough times also taught her not to
“sweat the small
stuff.
“If he doesn’t
put out the
garbage, it’s not
the end of the
world,” she adds
with her signa-
ture, and quite
contagious,
laugh. Mrs. Hart
is also her hus-
band’s biggest
booster. She is
wise enough to
realize how his
careful manage-
ment of the fam-
ily’s finances
early in their
marriage is allowing them the debt-free lifestyle
they enjoy today.
“Bob always saved,” she says proudly. “We
never had to pay interest. He always saved 10 per
cent (of his income) and ever since they existed,
he’s had RSPs. It gives you peace of mind.”
Almost 50 years of being together has brought
the couple closer, say the Harts. “I think (we’re
happy) because we enjoy one another and we
work at it every day,” adds Mrs. Hart, while Mr.
Hart says simply, “She is my best friend, my con-
fidante ... we are very, very, very lucky.”
Their Golden Wedding Anniversary looms on
the horizon - appropriately, on Thanksgiving
2003. There are no definite plans yet as to how
the happy couple will celebrate, but one thing is
sure, they know they’ll have fun if they’re togeth-
er. “As we get older, we enjoy our own company.
I guess we’re set in our ways but we like each
other’s company,” says Mr. Hart.
“He’d rather play golf with me
than with the boys,” his wife says.
But the Harts have earned these
golden years. In the first seven years
of marriage, they moved 11 times. And there have
been times when they have fought.
“No matter how mad we get at each other, I
am the one who has to say, ‘Goodnight,’” says
Mr. Hart. “He reads poetry or sings and tries to
break me down,” laughs Mrs. Hart. “How can
you be angry at somebody who quotes poetry and
sings to you?”

DURHAM ––Local groups have
received funding for environmental
projects from the federal government.
Environment Minister David Ander-
son announced $2.1 million in funding
for 65 environmental projects across
the country, with more than $480,000
destined for 21 projects in Ontario. The
money comes from the EcoAction
Community Funding program.
Friends of Second Marsh in Oshawa
will get $35,000 for its watershed stew-
ardship project. Volunteers will plant
700 trees and 200 wildflowers along
340 metres of stream banks. Friends
will distribute 80 rain barrels to home-
owners in the watershed, resulting in
the conservation of 18,000 litres of
water. Information will also be provid-
ed to new homeowners in the water-
shed.
The Environmental Earth Angels
will get $35,000 to help students plant
450 mature trees in 45 barren school-
yards in Durham Region, Toronto and
York and Peel regions.
The Uxbridge Brock Watershed
Committee is getting $29,500 to reha-
bilitate Elgin Pond in Uxbridge. The
committee will plant 80 trees, 1,000
shrubs and more than 2,400 aquatic
plants and stabilize 70 metres of shore-
line of the historical millpond.
To be eligible for funding, projects
must result in positive, measurable en-
vironmental benefits and increase pub-
lic awareness of environmental issues.
Groups must also find 50-per-cent
matching funds or in-kind support from
other sponsors. Submission deadlines
are Feb. 1 and Oct. 1 each year. More

Pickering readies for battle
Council calls for study
to protect northern
development
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —City council is
embarking upon a process to plan out
Pickering’s “last frontier”.
Awaiting the final details of a
provincial land swap, giving up the
Seaton lands in north Pickering to de-
velopers coming off lengthy and
costly battles for development of Oak
Ridges Moraine lands in Richmond
Hill, the first step in planning future
growth in north Pickering was taken
at last Monday’s council meeting.
Council directed staff to complete
a growth management study, which
would provide the basis for an Offi-
cial Plan review of the area from the
Seaton lands (Brock Road) in the east
to the York/Durham Town Line in the
west, Hwy. 7 to the north and the
CPR rail line to the south.
Ward 1 Regional Councillor Mau-
rice Brenner said the study, expected
to include strict and detailed plan-
ning guidelines for the area, is a way
for the City to “take ownership” and
protect its role in the development of
the northern portion of Pickering.
“We need to take a leadership
role,” he explained. “We need to stop
the wholesale slaughter of our north-
ern communities, because if the
(Richmond Hill-Seaton) swap goes
ahead and the Province walks away,
that’s what we’ll be faced with.”
Coun. Brenner also expressed
concern “piecemeal” planning will
lead to urban sprawl in the north and
pushed the idea of a comprehensive
strategy that allows for growth while
protecting environmentally sensitive
areas.
“We can’t do piecemeal, we can’t
just take a pen and draw a road here
and develop land there, it just doesn’t
work that way,” he said.
“The northern community is Pick-
ering’s last frontier and if we don’t
get on this train on the platform, the
Province is going to drive the train
right through... We’ve got to do a
comprehensive review.”
Ward 3 City Councillor David
Pickles agreed.
“I think it’s timely to embark upon
a planning process to assess where
growth in Pickering will start,” he
said. “We’ve got to have the details
and know where we stand.”
The study, while taking a compre-
hensive look at environmental, infra-
structure and growth factors, will
also include consideration of existing
studies conducted for the City, Re-
gion and Province.
City staff is expected to report
how the study will work at the March
8 planning committee meeting.

Durham’s $1-million council
Salaries, expenses for
Regional councillors hit
seven figures in 2001
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Durham taxpayers
forked over more than $1 million to
pay their regional representatives in
2001, including more than $130,000
for the regional chairman’s salary
and expenses.
Regional Chairman Roger Ander-
son tops the salary list at $94,980 a
year.
The chairman also claimed the
highest expenses, totalling nearly
$37,000 on automotive costs, con-
ventions, conferences and meetings,
according to a report from Jim Clapp,
Durham’s commissioner of finance.
“My responsibilities with the As-
sociation of Municipalities of On-
tario (AMO) where I’m vice-presi-
dent, dinners and functions with MPs
and MPPs, meetings across the
province, everything I do is in that
account,” says Chairman Anderson.
Conferences he attended include
the annual AMO conference, Federa-
tion of Canadian Municipalities,
board of director meetings for ITER
Canada (the board working to secure
Canada’s bid to host an energy re-

the GTAA will be answering in building its
case. However, Mr. Turpen said he and the
GTAA wouldn’t be in Pickering unless they
had already formulated answers to most of
those questions.
“We wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t think
there was a business case,” he said, adding the
GTAA doesn’t “print money” and, as a private
company, is only interested in successful busi-
ness ventures, which they believe an airport in
Pickering can be. The second step is an envi-
ronmental assessment, Mr. Turpen explained,
which the company will do sometime before
the federal government’s 2005 deadline for a
recommendation from the GTAA on whether
or not an airport should go ahead. That is when,
Mr. Turpen said, should everything go
as planned, the GTAA will be “asking
for permission to construct” an airport
to be finished sometime before 2015.
Stephen Frederick, president of Vot-
ers Organized to Cancel the Airport
Lands (VOCAL) and Pickering’s com-
munity member on PAC, said he entered the
first meeting with an open mind and was will-
ing to listen, but left feeling the airport is an un-
avoidable reality.
“It’s going ahead, plain and simple,” he said
following the meeting. “We were looking at
runway configurations in there... Telling people
what you’re doing and allowing input are two
different things. This isn’t open communica-
tion, the input mechanism is
closed... they said they’ll have
a concept on the table by year-
end... it’s moving forward.”
In response, Mr. Turpen
said there are always going to
be people against the airport no
matter how strong a business
case is and stressed the GTAA
is committed to an open process with PAC as a
key part.
Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs, who also
sits on PAC, said it seemed the GTAA was tak-
ing a “business-like approach” to its plans for
Pickering, adding “They wouldn’t be here if
they didn’t feel there was a need for additional
capacity (at airports in the Greater Toronto
Area) within the next 10 to 15 years.”

Ecker
defends
Tory
record
many of this
jury’s sugges-
tions were al-
ready covered by
the May-Iles in-
quest.
However,
Pickering-Ajax-
Uxbridge MPP
Janet Ecker dis-
putes the claim
the Province
hasn’t acted on
the May-Iles
recommenda-
tions.
“Over 90 per
cent of the May-
Iles recommen-
dations have
been implement-
ed or are in
progress,” she
said. “This
province has the
largest and most
comprehensive
domestic vio-
lence program in
Canada.”
Ms. Ecker
said the provin-
cial government
has increased
funding for
women’s needs
with respect to
domestic vio-
lence by 40 per
cent, including
increasing the
number of shel-
ter beds avail-
able, increasing
related training
for Crown attor-
neys, and dou-
bling the dollars
for legal aid
available to vic-
tims of domestic
violence, all of
which are exam-
ples of the
provincial gov-
ernment’s re-
sponse to the
May-Iles recom-
mendations.
“That’s fund-
ing that’s gone
out the door, not
just a lot of
promises,” she
said. “The prob-
lem is we can
never do enough
to prevent
tragedies like
this.”
The first of
58 recommenda-
tions stemming
from the Hadley
inquest asks the
Province to set
up a committee
to oversee im-
plementation of
both the Hadley
and May-Iles in-
quest recom-
mendations.
And, al-
though there is
no word on
whether the
Province will do
just that, Ms.
Ecker says they
remain commit-
ted to respond-
ing to the prob-
lem of domestic
violence.
“We will con-
tinue to respond,
and we will re-
spond to
Hadley,” she
said. “I think
these inquests
are good, we
need to look at
what we can
learn to prevent
these tragedies
in the future.”
Ms. Ecker
also agreed the
new West
Durham
women’s shelter,
which will soon
be a reality, is a
good start, and if
a Durham Re-
gional Police do-
mestic violence
unit, recently
suggested by
both Pickering
and Ajax coun-
cils, will work,
she supports that
as well.
“If it can help
us respond better
then yes, it’s a
good idea.”

When is a premier too old?
Ernie Eves, the front-runner in
the race to succeed Premier Mike
Harris, has been accused of not
being up to the job at the ripe old
age of 55.
Health Minister Tony
Clement, 40, keeps insisting the
Progressive Conservative party
needs to make a “generational
change” and pick a much
younger premier than Mr. Harris,
who just turned 57.
Mr. Clement argues the Tories
have a history of installing much
younger premiers and this has
been a major factor in keeping
them in power for most of the
past half-century.
He also has reminded the only
time they failed to change to
youth, in 1985 when they chose
57-year-old Frank Miller to suc-
ceed William Davis, they quickly
lost government.
Mr. Clement has now taken
the issue further and described
Mr. Eves as ‘Old Man Ontario.’
There are some truths in what
the younger candidate says. The
Tories changed from older to
much younger premiers several
times and this helped them look
refreshed and even rejuvenated.
John Robarts became premier
at 44 and left at 54 and Mr. Davis
took over at 41 and departed at
55 (the only two premiers in re-
cent decades, apart from Mr.
Harris, to leave under their own
steam.)
Mr. Miller lost more because
he was right-wing, a decade be-
fore it became fashionable under
Mr. Harris, and too rural. He also
looked afraid when refusing to
debate opponents on TV.
But his age also may have hurt
him, because even his chief Tory
rival, Larry Grossman, empha-
sized it in their leadership cam-
paign by urging the Tories not to
pick someone so old.
There has been a trend in re-
cent decades to pick younger
leaders who look more vigorous,
prompted particularly by Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy who be-
came the youngest-ever elected
president at 43. The non-Tories
who became premier in the past
half-century, Liberal David Pe-
terson and New Democrat Bob
Rae, also took the top post in
their early 40s.
A concern some Tories will
have about Mr. Eves’s age is not
just that he is 55 now, but that he
would be starting a career as pre-
mier at 55 and they will hope for
a leader who can win not merely
the next election, but at least an-
other after that.
The next election will be in
about 2003 and the one after that
about 2007 and a premier who
won that would be expected to
stay at least another two years
and by then Mr. Eves will be 62.
One argument against Mr.
Clement, however, is that some
politicians in their sixties and
older have shown they still can
run governments and have elec-
toral successes at much later
ages.
The most notable example is
Liberal Prime Minister Jean
Chretien, who won his last elec-
tion when he was 66 and is talk-
ing of running again, when he
will be over 70, but owes his
longevity in power as much to
feeble opponents as his own
strengths.
Winston Churchill was prime
minister until he was 81, Ronald
Reagan was president at 78, and
Canada’s first prime minister, Sir
John A. Macdonald, died in of-
fice at 76.
The last time an Ontario
politician accused another of
being too old was in 1998, when
the riding of Liberal MPP Anna-
marie Castrilli, then 48, was
merged with that of a neighbour-
ing Liberal, Monte Kwinter, 66,
and she suggested he should step
down and leave the new riding to
a younger, more vigorous col-
league.
Mr. Kwinter refused and not
only beat his younger rival for
the nomination but won the rid-
ing in the 1999 election, while
she switched to run for the Tories
and has not been heard from
since.
Mr. Clement also did not help
his case when he dubbed Mr.
Eves ‘Old Man Ontario’ because
this was the nickname given Tory
premier Leslie Frost, who was 66
when he stepped down in 1961,
but still the consummate politi-
cian with the province totally in
the palm of his hand.
If you wanted to choose
today’s most useful MPP, it
would be difficult not to pick
Liberal Gerry Phillips, who ex-
poses government financial blun-
ders, police failings and priva-
tized highway ripoffs more than
anyone else. The 61-year-old is
in his legislature office to talk
about them every day except
Christmas Day.
There also is Economics Min-
ister Bob Runciman, 59, a rebel
uncovering skeletons as far back
as when Mr. Davis governed. He
led the move to persuade Mr.
Eves to change his mind and run
for premier. Without Mr. Runci-
man’s powers of persuasion,
there probably would not even be
an Eves candidacy. There is life
in some old dogs yet.
Is Ernie Eves too old to lead at 55?
Party leadership rival says Tories need to make a ‘generational change’
The Winter Olympics have always been Canada’s
games.
Not that we finish at the top of the podium in every
event. Of course Canadians are strong in some disci-
plines: figure skating, long- and short-track speed skat-
ing, curling, hockey and occasionally freestyle and
downhill skiing. Our interest will be focused squarely on
these events and we’ll have fainter hopes in such events
as bobsled, luge, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and
ski-jumping to name just a few.
What makes the Winter Games resonate with us is the
compact format, the fewer events, the scaled-down hype.
It’s as though all that snow and ice actually cools coun-
tries off a little and allows the fun to shine through.
That’s as it should be, typical of the understated Canadi-
an way.
Here in Durham, we have special reasons to cheer a
little louder. On the most celebrated team competition at
the Olympics, Whitby can boast two of the 23 players on
the men’s hockey squad. Joe Nieuwendyk and Adam
Foote, both of whom played on our 1998 fourth-place
finishing Olympic team, will be going for gold once the
men’s medal-round games begin Friday. The Whitby pair,
two of the most respected players in the National Hock-
ey League, are used to winning the big games. They each
have two Stanley Cup rings. Here’s hoping the experi-
ence of dominating in the pressure cooker of the Stanley
Cup playoffs helps translate into gold in Salt Lake City.
Also on hand from Durham is ski-jump commentator
Ron Richards of Oshawa. Mr. Richards competed in sev-
eral Olympics for Canada and now offers his expertise
for television viewers.
No matter where the competitor is from across this
great nation, Canadians are happy to see our young ath-
letes put everything they’ve got into excelling on a world
stage. It’s been well-documented that - the million-dollar
NHL stars of the men’s hockey team are a notable ex-
ception - our athletes sacrifice heavily and live in near
poverty to go for greatness at the Olympics. It’s always
exciting to see one of ‘our own’ beat the odds and mount
the podium as one of the best three in the world. But no
matter where they finish, just competing at an Olympics
is a tremendous accomplishment, one worthy of our
praise.
With more than two weeks to go, we can rest assured
no matter how many medals Canada racks up, we’ll
laugh, we’ll cry and we’ll cheer as we sit back and watch
it all unfold. The Winter Olympics are worth the time and
effort.

To the editor:
Expect an increase on your
March electric bill.
A mandate by Ontario Energy
and the Province of Ontario has
transferred much of the expense
for electric development and asso-
ciated infrastructure, formerly paid
by developers, to our electric in-
voices.
This tax is on a KW/h basis, so
those with large families or older
equipment will be most affected.
Why are we paying house-
builders’ expenses? The govern-
ment subsidizes the developers but
does not lose any revenue because
it gets it back from you and I and,
perhaps, a little extra.
This type of tax grab must not
be tolerated or soon we may find
ourselves, for example, supporting
the automotive industry with the
flush of a toilet.
No amount of deregulated com-
petition can overcome costs down-
loaded by the Ontario government.

Pickering robins disappear, reader concerned
To the editor:
Many robins in Pickering are
caught with their wings down!
The feeding of 150 robins on
apples on the ground in an or-
chard in Pickering ended Jan. 31.
The apples were covered that
day by a heavy snowfall and
couldn’t be seen. In a search for
the robins Feb. 2 none could be
found in the orchard or sur-
rounding area.
These earworm-eating robins
are hardy birds. Failing to find
apples they will look for sumac
or buckthorn berries, and some-
times garbage dumps when hard
pressed. They seldom go to feed-
ers unless such foods as raisins,
currants, sliced apples or white
bread are provided.
Let’s hope the robins will all
survive the winter.

Higher minimum wage a more realistic goal
To the editor:
One wonders about Whitby-
Ajax MPP and Finance Minister
Jim Flaherty’s knowledge of the
world we live in.
He suggests he is going to re-
move people from welfare so they
have to get a job. What job? Could
he live off minimum wage? Maybe
he should put some realistic con-
cepts into practice and raise the
minimum wage to $12.

Best-of-seven playdown
tied at two; game four
in Pickering Thursday night
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —An injury-riddled Pick-
ering Boyer Pontiac Panthers team wasn’t
supposed to put up much resistance in its
opening playoff series with the Thornhill Rat-
tlers.
The Panthers may have had lingering in-
juries entering the series, but they haven’t
hampered the club after earning a split of the
opening two contests of the best-of-seven
OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey
League South Conference series on the week-
end.
The series opened Saturday night in
Thornhill, with the Panthers shocking the
hosts 8-3 in a game highlighted by five of
eight Pickering goals coming on the power
play. The Rattlers, however, knotted the series
at one game apiece with a come-from-behind
4-3 win at the Pickering Recreation Complex
Sunday night.
Game 3 in the series was played Tuesday
night in Thornhill. The result of the contest
wasn’t available at the News Advertiser’s
press deadline. Game four is in Pickering
Thursday night at 7:30 p.m.
The Panthers had their share of chances to
take a 2-0 edge in the series in Sunday night’s
contest. In fact, the Pickering juniors held a 2-
0 lead early in the game. Pickering led 2-1
after 40 minutes, but couldn’t hold the lead in
the third period as the Rattlers scored twice in
the last eight minutes, including the game
winner with 4:14 remaining off the stick of
former Panther Don Johnson.
Panthers’ head coach Bill Purcell says a
combination of things led to Sunday’s loss,
including some bad luck around the net and
penalties that kept the team’s penalty-killing
unit on the ice for far too long.
“We hit a couple of posts last night, but it
was a game that could have went either way,”
he says. “After killing penalties (with only
nine forwards in Sunday’s game) we didn’t
have a lot of gas left.”
Purcell was also critical of the refereeing
of Sunday’s game, claiming the Rattlers were
allowed to get away with rough play that
should have been whistled for penalties.
“They were getting away with a lot of stuff
— cross-checking, hacking and whacking —
and it wasn’t called.”
Team captain Garret Winder opened the
scoring for Pickering midway through the
first period, assisted by Kyle Aitken and Colin
Jennings. The Panthers added to their total at
13:43 of the second as Jennings found room
behind Thornhill goaltender Mike Andreoff
— the former Panthers netminder — assisted
by Sean Bradley and Iain McPhee. Thornhill’s
Mike Angelidis scored twice to lead the
Thornhill comeback, the first coming on the
power play at the 11:27 mark of the second
period and the second marker coming even-
strength at the 7:20 mark of the third period to
tie the score. Angelidis’s goals set the table
for Johnson’s game winner late in the contest.
In Saturday’s series opener, a five-goal,
second-period outburst by the Panthers put
them into a commanding 6-2 lead after 40
minutes of play. Pickering scored two more in
the third period to pull away 8-2 before
Thornhill added one more to end the scoring.
Dan Schofield led the way with a five-
point night for Pickering, including a hat
trick. Winder, the team’s leading scorer, got
into the act with a pair of goals to go with two
assists. Alex Greig, Aitken and Mike Alexiou
added single markers. Other assists went to
Bradley with four, Mike Hanna with three,
Greig, Dave Tonkin and Mitch Hugli, all with
one.
Scott Gray got the start in net in both
games on the weekend. In the opener, Gray
outduelled Andreoff, who
started for the Rattlers. Gray
made 22 saves on 25 shots,
while Andreoff was given the
hook after giving up five goals
on 10 shots in the second frame.
PANTHERS’ POSTSCRIPT:Defence-
man Alex Greig received several stitches to
his face after being taken into the boards
heavily in Sunday’s loss to Thornhill. For-
ward Ryan Taylor suited up for Sunday’s
game, but didn’t see action owing to a severe
charley horse suffered in Saturday’s
contest...Greig was expected to play Tuesday,
while Taylor was a game-time decision...Pur-
cell was to start goaltender Kevin Kliman in
Tuesday’s game after Scott Gray started both
weekend games.

A capella quartet
eager to perform
at March 1 show
BY CRYSTAL CRIMI
Staff Writer
DURHAM –– Just give these four
guys a song and wait for the melodies
and harmonies to fly.
For the past 23 years, the Nylons
have entertained audiences far and
wide. Through seven gold and six
platinum records, the a capella quar-
tet has built up a loyal fan base. And
now, with headliner Michelle Wright
in tow, the Nylons will be hitting the
Civic Auditorium March 1 to croon
to their collective hearts’ content.
The March 1 concert is the big an-
nual fund-raiser for the Rotary Club
of Whitby Sunrise.
This third annual event boasts
crossover country star Wright, who is
a big fan of the Nylons style and tal-
ent.
“They’re just an amazing vocal
group, if anybody has never seen
these guys before you will just enjoy
the heck out of it,” said Wright who
has performed in the past in concert
with the four-man group.
Known for their sound, harmonies
and arrangements, the Nylons in-
clude members Claude Morrison,
Arnold Robinson, Garth Mosbaugh
and Mark Cassius.
“It’s going to be a great time,” said
founding member of Nylons, tenor
Morrison.
“Michelle’s a great singer, she’s a
beautiful person and we’re looking
forward to seeing her again.”
The Nylons, known for their hit
‘Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Good-
bye),’ are currently on a mini-tour
from Kitchener to Mississauga and
from there it’s to Oshawa before they
head into the recording studio to
complete their 13th album.
“It’ll be great,” said Morrison.
“We’ve got four or five mixes so far
and I’m really enjoying listening to
them.
“I’m playing them over and over
again and I don’t usually do that so
that’s a good sign.”
Although the album won’t be done
until May or in record stores until
summer or fall, fans at the March 1
show will get a sneak listen of what’s
to come.
“It’s changed back,” said Morrison
about the sound. “For a period we
were exploring different stuff and
that’s when people thought we
changed - not so much changed as
experimented. We’ve kind of
changed back to when we first start-
ed.
“Some older arrangements we re-
visited and have a new freshness. It’s
so old it sounds new; it feels different
singing it after it’s been on ice for 10
years.”
Since beginning in 1979, the Ny-
lons have just kept on going, only
stopping for a
couple of
months at a
time to break
from touring.
“I haven’t
really wanted
one,” said Mor-
rison. “We give
ourselves time
off - I’m not
sick of it yet, I
still love it. It
has its draw-
backs like fly-
ing everywhere
is a real pain,
but then you get
on stage and it’s
great, you re-
member why
you’re there
when you see
the audience.
“It’s a good
high-energy
show and
there’s lots of
jokes, mainly
aimed at our-
selves,” he
added and en-
courages peo-
ple to come out
and support the
Whitby Sun-
rise.
The concert
takes place Fri-
day, March 1 at
7 p.m. in the
Oshawa Civic
Auditorium.
Tickets are
$45 each and
can be pur-
chased at the
box office in
the Oshawa
Civic Auditori-
um or by phon-
ing Ticketmas-
ter at 416-870-
8000.

That’s an interesting question. In the
past, car radiators were much more
likely to rust than they are today.
Older radiators used to be placed directly
behind the grille and were constantly
bombarded with road projectiles such as rocks
and salt. As a result, they deteriorated fairly
quickly. What’s more, they were made of
metallic materials that easily rusted, which
made them all the more inefficient.
In contrast, today’s radiators are built of
different that are less likely to rust - such as
aluminum and plastic - and are better
protected from external elements. What’s
more, today’s cooling and antifreeze products
are more durable and help these materials
retain their original features. However, rust
and obstruction is still possible, and it is for
this reason that you should always rely on a
trusted mechanic or specialized auto body
shop when it comes to repairing or replacing
your radiator.
Modern radiators require periodical cleaning,
even if it is only a good external cleaning in
the spring. One helpful tip is to use a spray jet
to clean the air conditioning condenser, which
is often located directly in front of the radiator.
By removing any dirt or residue that has
accumulated over time, the vehicle’s radiator
will work more efficiently.
And if the vehicle starts to show any signs of
overheating, make a beeline to your regular
mechanic or to a radiator repair shop. If you
want to prevent damaging your engine, follow
their recommendations to the letter.
It is also worth nothing that heat is distributed
through the radiating fins, which must be
securely welded to the conduits. If these fins
become detached, it is a sure sign that the
radiator must be rebuilt.
