Residents want neighbourhood back BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess News Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG - West Pickering residents say they aren’t scared, they’re angry that vi- olence has yet again invaded their quiet middle-class neighbourhood. Tuesday, shots rang out on Alder Court, off Stroud’s Lane in the Whites Road and Sheppard Avenue area, in the late afternoon while chil- dren played in the area bounded by schools, a day care, community stores and single-family homes. “We’re not scared, we’re angry,” said one resident who asked not to be named. Nods of agreement followed from neighbours who added this is not the first incident in the past few years and they want police and the City to find a way to return their commu- nity to its previously peaceful state. According to police, about 3:55 p.m. a caller reported the gunshots.

It’s for big builders and contractors,” he added. No. 7 Auto Recyclers owner Barry Kaufman is ap- pealing to the Ontario Mu- nicipal Board (OMB) to overturn a Pickering council decision Jan. 13 rejecting his rezoning application. The rezoning would have brought the legal non-con- forming auto wrecking yard on Balsam Road into official compliance and allowed the demolition of a building on- site. But councillors said at the time there were just too many concerns from resi- dents to let it go forward. A hearing is scheduled to begin July 23 at Pickering council chambers.

Pickering council recently endorsed two resolutions from the police services board. The first says the new registry “falls short of the scope and effectiveness envi- sioned by the policing com- munity” and points to several shortcomings such as photos not being required and only basic information on sex of- fenders being reported. The second resolution calls for an international study on the effects of full public dis- closure and recidivism rates of offenders, a national work- shop to discuss consistent public notification strategies, and a review of new technolo- gies. “I appreciate privacy is- sues and that some people who serve their crime can be good citizens afterwards,” said Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles, who brought the motion forward. “But I think in a situation when people have been ab- ducted, that extra amount of information could be used as a tool to find them,” he said in an interview afterwards. The federal government has given two readings to Sex Offender Information Regis- tration Act, which allows for the creation of a national sex offender registry. But police services board chairman Bob Boychyn argued the legisla- tion has “several significant shortcomings”. “I think the main one is failure to register anyone al- ready serving time as a sex offender,” he pointed out. “You would have to basically start from ground zero today. I wouldn’t know how long it would before we had an effec- tive list.” The Ontario sex offender registry is much more effec- tive, Mr. Boychyn said.

Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Same sex couple finds discrimination despite ruling BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG - For all intensive purposes, Kerry Ferguson and Kim Pearson have al- ways considered themselves married. The women have lived to- gether for seven years, and have four dogs, a cat and two birds. And with the Ontario Court of Appeal ruling June 10 that the traditional defini- tion of marriage discrimi- nates against gays and les- bians, the Pickering couple are anxiously looking for- ward to making their union official this fall. “It’s not necessarily about the piece of paper,” says Ms. Fe rg uson, a 33-year-old mu- tual fund customer service representative. “It’s being united in front of your family and friends like the rest of so- ciety. “This is the government telling us we’re a family,” she says. Learning about the court decision on the news, the couple says their phone began ringing almost imme- diately, with friends and fam- ily asking if there were plans to pop the big question. “Kim has always said she wanted to get married but I just said why not wait until it’s legal,” explains Ms. Fer- guson. “I thought we’d be waiting longer to be honest.” “I’ve always wanted to have my dad walk me down the aisle,” adds Ms. Pearson, 35.

But there is nothing ordinary about Duncan Tillson, whose idea of a daily outing is a 30-kilometre trek on one wheel. For the 6-foot 2-inch Bowmanville resident, riding a unicycle and jug- gling is all about balance, not just in the physical sense but spiritually as well. Every day, weather permitting, Mr. Tillson travels throughout Durham on his unicycle, which serves as the base for an act he per- forms for parades, special events and birthday parties from Bow- manville to Toronto to Peterbor- ough. But the genesis of his talents was born out of a desire to make the lessons he gives to kids at Bible classes and camps more memorable. “I used to be involved in Sunday school and was looking at creating ways to preach to kids,” explains Mr. Tillson. It began with illusions like eating fire and swords. Ten years ago he learned to juggle. Soon he was performing numerous juggling tricks, even juggling hatchets, a real audience thriller. Each act was in- corporated into the lessons he was teaching and accompanied by hu- morous patter to help keep his young charges’ attention. Then, two years ago, at the age of 46, Mr. Tillson came across a unicy- cle, something he says he had always wanted. After a five-minute demon- stration and hours of practice he was on his way. “It just shows you, you’re never too old to learn,” he says. Once you get the hang of it, Mr. Tillson insists, one wheel is easier than two, especially on hills. Kids at a neighbouring school have even dubbed him ‘uni-man’ a moniker he has adopted for himself. After working to perfect his unicy- cle technique until riding became second nature, he decided to throw the juggling into the mix. “I thought ‘gee I might as well put the two to- gether.’” Over the years his Bible lessons have become so popular, it is com- mon to see adults finding their way down to the kids’ program in the church basement when they are sup- posed to be upstairs getting the grown-up version of the gospel. For those who miss him at church appearances, there’s a good chance of seeing him on roads through Durham, particularly in the east end as he practises his craft alongside passing traffic. Averaging about 30 kilometres in his daily workout, Mr. Tillson says he is now ready to take on a greater challenge, even riding across Ontario if there is a worthy charity in need of his services. “It would be a great promotion. People are always waving and honking and stopping to talk,” he says. In the meantime, Mr. Tillson has taken his talents to youth detention centres in the GTA where he volun- teers to talk to audiences of troubled young adults about their future, their choices and of course, balancing life. He draws on his own experience as a troubled youth and tells them how he made the choice to walk away from his problems and instead fo- cused on creating positive forces in his life. In 1980 he entered the Gold- en Gloves and then retired from box- ing with his street-fighting days long behind him. “I learned it takes a big- ger man to walk away,” he says. That’s part of the message he takes to the kids. Instead of fighting, he turned to pursuits like kayaking where his greatest accomplishment was a 275-mile journey through the Grand Canyon. And, he found love with his wife of 13 years, Doreen, a nurse who assists him with his shows and ministry. While Jesus remains the centre of his life, he says, he is careful not to make people feel uncomfortable about the message he has to share when he is performing at public events outside the church. “I might ask them if they talk to Jesus.” If they say no, he says, that’s OK. “But, I tell them, get on one of these things (pointing to the unicycle) and you will start talking to him, real quick.” A/P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 9, 2003 www.durhamregion.com CHOICES FREE4AAnnyy • Bed Frame •NO PST •Mattress Pad •Bed Rails •NO GST •Comforter •Layaway •Pillow •Set-up •Disposal of Old Set •Percale Set of Sheets •Local Delivery COUPON Single Mattress Double $219 Set $389 Queen $279 Set $479 King $469 Set $759 $179 COMFORT SLEEP 15 YR WARRANTY Double $239 Set $419 Queen $299 Set $519 King $489 Set $809 $199 COMFORT SLEEP S/E 20 YR WARRANTY Double $489 Set $699 Queen $579 Set $829 King $709 Set $1089 $379 POCKET COIL PILLOW TOP 25 YR WARRANTY Single Mattress Double $159 Set $269 Queen $209 Set $379 $99 POSTURE CARE 10 YR WARRANTY Set $189 Set $319 Single Mattress Set $339 Set $569 With Any Mattress Set Purchasedcoupon not valid with this unit Single Mattress Alexander Futon $366 Bedroom Suite $449 $169 $319 $419 $469 $129 $269 $169 ON SALE A Frame Futon Complete $167 Iron Futon Complete $188 Promo Sleigh Bed $198 Milan Solid Wood Bed $299 Captain Economy 4 Drawers Included $277 Vanessa Daybed $127 Silver Iron Futon Complete $223 Waterfall Daybed $85 Space Saver Metal Bunk $199 Silver Bunk $336 Futon Bunk $277 Electric Bed Complete $1264 Milan Twin Double Bunk $482 $394 Christina Iron Bed $191 Monaco Bed $293 New Model Harvard Bunk Complete HOURS Mon. - Wed. 10-6 Thurs. - Fri. 10-9 Sat. 10-6 Sun. 11-4 rrs TM FINANCING ACCEPTED PHONE ORDERS ACCEPTED 40 FACTORY OUTLETS ACROSS ONTARIO INCLUDING...

But the 44-year-old Oshawa man’s behaviour was nothing un- common of most prisoners, testi- f ied Durham Regional Police Con- stable Kenneth Fogal, the acting sergeant in charge of the cellblock area during much of his overnight stay. “It may be hard to understand for people who aren’t in the organiza- tion but it’s not uncommon for pris- oners to come in calm and end up loud,” he said. “They shake the bars and yell for their lawyers.” Autopsy results reveal Mr. Web- ster died of a heart attack caused by acute alcohol withdrawal syn- drome March 10, 2001 just before noon at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. A coroner’s inquest is mandatory because he died while in police cus- tody. Mr. Webster walked calmly into Division 17 in Oshawa the previous day at around 2 p.m. and turned himself in for failing to appear on a previous break-and-enter charge, Beverly Brown, counsel for the coroner, told the five-member jury. “He was described as very polite and seemed to understand the questions being put to him,” she said. “He indicated he didn’t have any medication on him but had epilepsy and was prone to seizures.” Nor did he appear to have used any alcohol or drugs, Ms. Brown said, but his manner would “deteri- orate” in the hours that followed in his jail cell. Mr. Webster started to hallucinate, was breathing rapidly and kicking the inside of a police cruiser the next morning on the way to bail court. He never actually appeared in bail court, but was ordered to un- dergo a mental health assessment at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, where Mr. Webster suffered a heart attack just before noon. Mr. Webster’s medical records from 1999 to 2001 showed he was chronic alcohol user and was being prescribed a Valium-like drug for a drug dependency, likely codeine, testified Dr. Margaret Thompson, medical director of the Ontario Re- gional Poison Control Centre. Based on autopsy blood tests, Ms. Thompson said he likely stopped drinking and taking Vali- um for at least two or three days be- fore turning himself in to police. Chronic alcoholics are usually weaned off gradually, she said. Cut- ting alcohol out ‘cold turkey’ with- out treatment is fatal in about 20 per cent of cases. “Your body is used to having a certain level of alcohol or Valium. As you use more, the body accom- modates for the sedative effect by up-regulation,” she explained. “When you take it all away, you don’t have any of the sedative ef- fect, only the up-regulation. It’s like an extreme adrenaline surge.” While each reaction is individual, Ms. Thompson testified Mr. Web- ster’s mannerisms were consistent with acute alcohol withdrawal syn- drome. Jurors watched videotaped ex- cerpts of Mr. Webster increasingly becoming more active in his cell at Division 17 in Oshawa that morning before he was to appear at a bail hearing. He was yelling more, and back and forth with another prisoner, said Const. Fogal, but would settle down when checked on and seemed to know what was going on. The only thing that ran strange was his yelling about a woman on the eighth floor needing help. Const. Fogal said he didn’t think Mr. Webster was delusional but that he maybe didn’t completely understand his charges and as such Const. Fogal had decided to sug- gest to the bail court that Mr. Web- ster undergo a mental health as- sessment before making an appear- ance. Mr. Webster’s demeanour was “dramatically different” in the cell area of the court, said Const. Fogal. His yelling was louder and upon seeing his face, the police officer arranged a transport to hospital for the prisoner. That was the last he ever saw of him. Upon reflection, Const. Fogal agreed specialized training for rec- ognizing the signs of alcohol with- drawal could benefit police officers. “I think it’s very easy to sit back and say, ‘What if I did this,’” he told the jury. “I did the appropriate thing by sending him to the hospi- tal.” The inquest continues this week. Inquest into prisoner’s death Need odd job done, want to work? Call the squad DDUURRHHAAMM - HRCC-S Odd Job Squad to the rescue.

No charges laid in accident as yet PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG - A Welland woman died in a Toronto hospital Monday night after a car accident on Hwy 401 in Pickering Sunday. Amanda Garton, 25, was a pas- senger in a 1987 Honda that was rear-ended in the westbound ex- press lanes, just east of Whites Road, around 4:30 p.m. The Honda’s male driver and male passenger, a five-year-old with the same surname as the deceased woman, were taken to Rouge Valley Centenary in Scarborough with non-life threatening injuries, treat- ed and released. A 1990 Nissan struck the Honda from behind. The male and female occupants of the Nissan, both from Oshawa, were taken to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering, treated and re- leased. Sergeant Harry Carrigan of the Whitby OPP says no charges have been laid. The reason the crash oc- curred is a mystery at present and police are still investigating. “We have to do a mechanical on the vehicle to determine why the vehicle she was driving in slowed suddenly and came to a stop,” he said in an interview. He said witness statements all indicate that the Honda suddenly slowed down. Sergeant Carrigan did not know the relationship between Ms. Gar- ton and the child. She was taken to Rouge Valley Centenary and then transferred to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Cen- tre, where she died as a result of her injuries. Anyone who witnessed the acci- dent is asked to call the Whitby OPP detachment at 905-668-3388. An error appeared in the Sunday, July 6, edition of This Week. The Pickering diabetes support group meets at the Petticoat Creek Com- munity Centre. This Week regrets the error.Pickering crash ends in fatality Correction it pulled onto the street where a struggle is believed to have taken place, possibly between the men and one other male, who may have been held in the car against his will. At some point, shots were fired, pos- sibly as the victim was escaping, says Sergeant Paul Malik, spokesman for Durham Region Po- lice Services. Police did find shell casings at the scene but have not yet identified the type of gun used, he said. “Beyond that we have no idea whatsoever,” of what occurred or whether any local resident was in- volved in the incident, Sgt. Malik said. “We haven’t got a victim or a suspect. We haven’t got a gun or a car.” The investigation is continuing. Meanwhile, residents say other in- cidents in the area have included a stabbing at a nearby intersection and activity at two homes that were being used as drug houses. “This is an excellent neighbour- hood,” said one resident who moved to the area 17 years ago. Most resi- dents are families and there is ca- maraderie between neighbours. But, in the past couple of years, these types of incidents have start- ed to occur, he said. At the same time, Stroud’s Lane, once a commu- nity access road, has become in- creasingly busy with commuter traf- fic using it as a bypass from Whites Road to Rosebank Road, bringing traffic that normally wouldn’t be in the neighbourhood. Often the cars are travelling at excessive speeds despite the many children in the area, the residents add. “We need more police presence, a visual presence,” said one neigh- bour. As residents continued to rehash what had happened in their com- munity that day, it was a sentiment echoed by many.

Shooting investigated ✦ Shooting from page A1 up a fuss. Pickering’s own planners have recommended the rezoning application move forward, he stressed. “I want legitimacy to my proper- ty and I want to be left alone,” he added. At the same time, James Sabis- ton is appealing the fact Pickering turned down a permit application for his fill operation northeast of Balsam Road and Hwy. 7 under the City’s new fill bylaw. KARA, which fought hard to convince councillors to toughen up the bylaw, alleges the fill being dumped there is contami- nated, while the owner maintains it’s clean. A date for that OMB hearing has yet to be set. But in an added twist, Pickering has launched it’s own appeal of a court ruling in March, which came out in favour of Mr. Sabiston. The City claimed the owner was violat- ing his property zoning by allowing fill to be dumped there, but it lost the case because judges weren’t convinced Pickering could prove when the property use had changed on the site. “We just felt the judge erred,” said City Clerk Bruce Taylor, of the Oct. 1 appeal date. “We felt we could prove when the land use had changed.” All of this news is disheartening to KARA, which thought its battles against the auto wrecking yard and fill operation were over. “I don’t know how this is going to work out,” admitted Mr. van der Vecht. “I have the feeling we still have a strong case so we’re going to write letters to the OMB.” Members are also starting to re- group and possibly plan to make a delegation to each hearing, he said. Mr. Sabiston did not return News Advertiser’s calls. ran into some difficulty along the way. One restaurant in Pickering told them their date was available over the phone, but the couple says when they went the next day to book it; staff there said it was already taken. Feeling odd about the experi- ence, they called back soon after, not mentioning they were gay, and were told it was free. While visiting another banquet hall in Ajax, the women say they no- ticed the behaviour of their tour guide start to change the more she began to realize they were a couple. They were soon told that venue was- n’t available for their wedding date either. “I think I was more hurt,” says Ms. Pearson. “When we walked away, both of us were kinda quiet. My heart kinda dropped because I knew someone was looking at me as if I wasn’t as good as them.” Always having had the support of family and friends, the couple says that was really their first experience with discrimination. They credit it to the respect they have of others. Just as they don’t feel heterosexual cou- ples should “be all over each other” in public, Ms. Pearson and Ms. Fer- guson say they also shy away from such displays of affection. But they blame the media for per- petuating the stereotype of gays and lesbians as sexually promiscuous. There are many same sex couples just like themselves, who own a home, hold down good jobs and want to raise their own children, but Ms. Ferguson says they don’t make the papers like Pride Day. As for their wedding day, the women have found a willing country club north of Toronto and will be the hall’s first same-sex marriage. Their union will be like any other, they say, but with two women, in- stead of man and wife. Both will walk down the aisle with their fa- thers and Ms. Pearson has chosen to take Ms. Ferguson’s last name. She’ll also fulfil her dream of wear- ing a white bridal gown. Ms. Fergu- son, on the other hand, has opted for a more fitted and feminine style tuxedo.

Life as a food inspector will do that to you. “I’ve seen it all,” admits the veter- an manager of environmental health for the Region of Durham. His staff of 22 health inspectors devote about 50 per cent of their time to keeping our food safe in restaurants, day cares, other care facilities, food pro- cessing plants and grocery stores. Mr. Connor says his team works hard to keep the Region’s food es- tablishments in compliance with health and safety laws and he would stack Durham food establishments up against any across the province. When he does dine out he usually eats here in the region. But, in their travels his staff have seen all the horror stories we wish we knew about before we ordered our meal, but don’t want to hear after we’ve eaten it. There’s the story of the Band-Aid found cooked into a crueller and the unkempt baker whose cigarette was dangling from his mouth as he kneaded dough, ashes dropping into his wares. There was the food han- dler who sneezed into his hand - at least that’s where part of it ended up - right in front of the health inspec- tor. Guess whether he stopped to wash his hands before continuing. Then there is the ongoing parade of filthy, bacteria-laden equipment that’s confiscated regularly, the mice and rat infestations and of course, the flies. “A pet peeve of mine is flies. I can’t abide flies. They get into every- thing,” says Mr. Connor, a fastidious man who keeps a bottle of hand san- itizer at the ready in his orderly of- fice. If you’ve ever wondered how your favourite food establishment or a day care or nursing facility stacks up, it’s easy enough to find out. Just call Mr. Connor at the Durham health department and ask for the last inspection date for the premises and what the health department’s findings were. Durham diners tend to be apa- thetic about it, says Mr. Connor; in total over the years, he’s had maybe 30 inquiries. Even during the three-month crackdown in Toronto when horror stories were coming out of the City about conditions in restaurants, probably less than 10 people called, he says. But getting that type of informa- tion is about to get even easier. Be- ginning this July, the Region will begin publishing the names of food premises convicted of offences under the Health Protection and Promotion Act. The names will be sent out to local media and will also be posted on the Region’s Web site. It’s part of Durham’s plan to get even tougher with businesses that f launt the law, says Mr. Connor. For many years, he says, his strategy with food handlers was education and proactive measures rather than tough enforcement. The Eat Smart program is one ex- ample. It rewards businesses with a certificate they can post to let pa- trons know their establishment has been recognized for safe food han- dling, good nutrition choices and a non-smoking environment. But while the reward approach will work to motivate many opera- tors, Mr. Connor says, it has become clear that for some, a bigger stick is needed to ensure compliance. “For some of them you need to use enforcement and get their attention before you can have those teachable moments,” he says. Last year, the health department laid only 16 court charges. Already this year, it has handed out more than 60 and Mr. Connor expects that number to break 100. It isn’t that Durham’s food operators are getting worse, it’s just the nice guy has decided it’s time to get tougher. “They’re getting used to seeing us in the courts now,” he says. Just the same, it won’t be anytime soon you see Durham go to the type of mandatory identification system To ronto has where establishments must post a red, yellow or green no- tice issued by the health depart- ment to tell diners how the restau- rant fared in its last inspection. Instead, Durham is planning to move to a voluntary disclosure sys- tem where operators can earn a ‘food safety recognition award’ to post at their entrance. The posting would be similar to the ‘Eat Smart’ certificate except it would be strictly based on health and safety without the nutrition and smoke-free com- ponent. “There are a lot of good business- es that can’t qualify for ‘Eat Smart’,” says Mr. Connor, only because of what’s on their menu. Once the new program begins, diners who just want assurances their food is safe, not necessarily healthy, will have to look no further than the front door. And restaurants that want our busi- ness will need to meet Mr. Connor’s standards to prove they deserve it. If you can’t stand the heat...

This man’s man is touchy-feely Ilike to fish. I grew up spend- ing countless hours in the boat with my Dad, talking, sharing stories or just enjoying the silence and the sun togeth- er. It's still one of my greatest joys to slip the canoe into the water just as the morning mist is rising off the glassy surface, and go for a quiet paddle. I love everything about fish- ing, the whole package, the sound the line makes as it whirs off my reel, the transfixing beauty of the perfect, concen- tric circles my lure makes as it plops down onto the still wa- ters. Then, the simple satisfac- tion of casting a plug or a fly just exactly where you meant to. Fishing has become very 'Zen' for me. I think that's why I've been struggling with it the last cou- ple of years. I don't like hurting f ish. As fishermen go I am among the most humane possi- ble. I practice catch and release, I bend the barbs down on my hooks and I obey the Ministry conservation rules to the letter. But still, I wrestle with the morality of inflicting pain on an- other creature as a form of recreation. I've heard the arguments of course that fish do not feel pain in the same way humans do, that their sensitivity to hurt is more along the lines of that ex- perienced by say, car salesmen or telemarketers. But I have caught hundreds of fish and you'll never convince me that the jerky spasm that runs elec- trically through their beautiful bodies as I wrench a hook free, is not a pain reaction. They feel it. Believe me, they feel it. And as each year passes, I seem to feel it too. Not enough to stop doing it, mind you. So far, the excite- ment of having a big fish on the end of the line still outstrips any remorse I might feel about catching it. No, when I'm play- ing a large fish I'm all man, pal. And the mousy objections of 'Mr. Touchy-feely-Sissy-pants' are well-muted by my hooting and hollering. It's when I've net- ted him and he lies, panting and trembling on the bottom of the canoe that I begin to feel a little small-minded. If he's bleeding or hooked badly through an eye or some- thing, I really begin to feel like a tool. If I've killed him, and that does happen very occasionally, I usually pack up and go home. Unless of course, I'm sharing the boat with another guy. In that case, both of us might very well feel like packing up and going home at that moment, but we sure as hell aren't going to admit it and run the risk of looking like some touchy-feely- sissy-pants. And so, as another bass sea- son opens I continue to grapple with this moral dilemma. Lately I've managed to appease my conscience somewhat by adopt- ing a 'native like' approach to angling. I talk to the fish I catch. Yes I do. I hold them up to the sun and I praise their beauty, stamina and courage. I make eye contact and I tell them how fortunate I am to have been given the chance to catch such a mighty specimen. The fish gods have indeed smiled upon me. Then, with a theatrical flour- ish and perhaps, if I'm feeling particularly touch-feely, a little improvisational chanting, I rev- erently slip them back into the water. From whence, I wonder, they may swim home and tell their children about the strange human they caught. Sure, I look like a first class dope. But it makes me, and I hope the fish, feel a hell of a lot better. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

The outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, especially across the Greater Toronto Area, put more stress on our system than anybody might have ever expected. Here in Durham, thousands of health care workers at Lakeridge Health hospitals, at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pick- ering hospital and at the Durham Region Health Depart- ment rose to the challenge in magnificent fashion. Led by the work of Dr. Robert Kyle and Dr. Donna Reynolds at the health department and Dr. Don Atkinson at Lakeridge Health and Katie Cronin-Wood at Rouge Val- ley Ajax Pickering, Durham residents were kept up-to-date about the disease. Dr. Reynolds herself, was forced into quarantine by SARS. Thanks to the brave workers who put in punishing hours, the number of SARS cases locally never rose above a hand- ful, and careful, clear measures were taken to prevent SARS from spreading or from having the disease take a foothold in Durham as it did in Toronto. Still, the SARS outbreak caught the Ministry of Health unprepared. SARS has been the ultimate wakeup call, the clear sign we are such a small world where a sneeze on a plain in south China can eventually put a person in the hos- pital in south Durham. We must never again be in a situa- tion where we don't have enough masks, gowns or gloves re- quired to serve all our health care workers or patients. Our publicly-funded health care system requires constant in- vestment and we must be plugged in to health-care trends and problems around the world. Since Toronto is among the most multicultural cities on Earth, with visitors coming here daily from every country, we must be up-to-the-minute on what health scares are out there and how they can have a drastic effect on us. That requires money and expertise. Yet, we can't afford not to make that investment. SARS had a severe impact on business, on our economy, on our image around the world. To regain our position as an ideal place to live, work and visit is a job at which our feder- al and provincial governments must be diligent. It takes more than a high-profile Rolling Stones concert: it takes a properly co-ordinated effort between the feds and the Province to do what's necessary to make sure the next SARS-type scare doesn't cause the havoc this disease did. Health departments across the province have learned a great deal from this experience and its findings should be used to implement effective and strict protocols in the health-care system. This experience showed us what works and what doesn't, so action can be taken to be ready in the future. We can all do our part by staying aware and being vigilant. It does start with washing your hands and making sure you adopt safe health practices. Our governments must lead the way, but we must follow. 497 Kingston Rd. W. Pickering Village This house, built in 1870, was purchased for the daughter of Dr. Field in 1882. Dr. Field was a practicing physician in Pickering Village, and would later build his own home directly east of the property. In 1929, Emerson & Henrietta Bertrand purchased the home and raised Allan Irwin. The family gave up the home- stead in 1934 only to have it reclaimed in 1977 by the grandson, J. B Bertrand (son of Allan). This house is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. Fish are people too Reader not high on ITER TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: In her June 11 column, Lar- raine Roulston referred to a $1 billion commitment "that the ITER project is asking from the federal government". I would like to clarify the fusion confu- sion about he International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) proposed for the Darlington Nuclear Station in Clarington. Natural Resources Canada has confirmed that the full cost of the reactor is an astounding $19 billion, including shut-down and clean-up costs. The interna- tional ITER partners are choos- ing amongst four bids to host the reactor from Canada, France, Spain and Japan. The $19 billion will come from all ITER partners, but if Canada hosts the reactor, Canadian tax- payers will have to ante up $2.3 billion. The federal cabinet is decid- ing whether to provide half of $2.3 billion subsidy and the On- tario government is being asked to provide the other half. In ad- dition, the federal government is also being asked to restart the federal fusion research pro- gram, which might cost another $900 million during ITER's life- time. With Ontario's subsidy, the total bill to taxpayers would be over $3 billion. ITER Canada's slogan is "Cleaner Energy for our Planet", however it is neither clean, nor does it produce energy. It will produce 30,000 tonnes of radio- active waste, deadly for 100 years and will routinely and ac- cidentally release radioactive tritium, increasing cancer risk in the downwind population. The reactor is experimental and will not produce any electricity. Even worse, ITER is a power vacuum that will require huge amounts of electricity to oper- ate -- up to 500 megawatts, a ca- pacity equal to a Pickering-sized reactor -- further stressing On- tario's electricity system. There are cleaner, cheaper, safer and less risky energy alter- natives --efficiency and renew- able energy. Fusion is the wrong direction for Canadian energy policy and a senseless waste of taxpayer's money. For more in- formation, see: www.iter.ca. DDaavviidd HH.. MMaarrttiinn PPoolliiccyy AAddvviissoorr,, SSiieerrrraa CClluubb ooff CCaannaaddaa Move it or lose it TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Whenever I go to plazas, I get very frustrated by the number of cars parking outside banks when there is plenty of free parking. A recent incident was the final straw. As I drove in, an el- derly lady, with cane, was try- ing to cross from the parking lot towards the bank, dodging between cars. She hadn't even been able to park in handicapped spots as they were all full. This often happens and I very politely point out the signs, but con- stantly get abused or told, 'I'm not parking, I'm waiting.' I am 68 and still able to reads signs and walk a few steps. Can something be done? HHeelleenn RRooggeerrss,, PPiicckkeerriinngg Disabled still facing access barriers TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Wheelchair accessibility con- tinues to be an issue at some restaurants in Pickering. I have used a wheelchair most of my life. Recently I decided to take my mother out for dinner. Perhaps in my naiveté, the question of whether this restau- rant was accessible or not was one I did not even consider. It is not until we arrived that we dis- covered it was not. The only en- trance had a fairly large step, making my access impossible. When we told the manger this, he was unapologetic and hostile. He told us 'they don't pay me enough to fix this.' As a result, I was not able to enjoy a sit-down dinner with my moth- er. It is very unfortunate when restaurants ignore the needs of their disabled patrons. One would think it would be in their best interest not to exclude cus- tomers in this way.

Arts in Brief JULY 9, 2003 The province is yours to discover with book featuring your own backyard DDUURRHHAAMM ----Not all of us have a cot- tage or plans to vacation abroad. But with the help of 'Downtown Ontario - Unusual main streets to explore,' the summer of 2003 can still be quite enjoyable. Written by Ron Brown, author of 'Ghosts Towns of Ontario,' the book takes readers on a tour of more than 50 main streets. And a couple of them are right in our own backyard. Port Perry's lakeside heritage is featured on pages 144 through 147 of the soft cover book. Not only does Brown describe the quaint downtown so popular for movie shoots, but also he gives some of the history that makes this pic- turesque town interesting to dis- cover. "The first nucleus of the fledgling village was at the corner of today's Queen Street and Simcoe Road and was known as Borelia," he writes. "Seven steamers regularly called at the wharf, making other stops at Port Hoover, now a ghost town, Caesarea and Lindsay. As shipping increased, the area around the wharf began to develop, and soon Queen Street was lined with wooden stores right down to the lake." A drive east brings the day-trip- per to Port Hope, about a half-hour from Oshawa. Brown calls Port Hope's main drag "a perfect 19th century main street." It's called Walton Street and he says the view from the top of its hill is "awe-inspiring." He also provides some history about the little town that failed to grow, leaving it "with a main street legacy unparalleled anywhere in Ontario." But as far as preserving the past goes, Brown gives the village of Ty- rone, in Clarington, its full due. Calling it "a living museum," he takes the reader back into the dis- tant past when pioneer black- smiths and mill operators made the economy go round. Even today, Tyrone's main street is preserved, even to the arrangement of items for sale, as it might have been in its 19th century heyday. "One only hopes that the relent- less march of urban sprawl is a long way in the future," Brown says of Tyrone, adding it is a "country trea- sure." The soft cover book is available on line from www.pinecone.on.ca for $22.95.

Durham Radio Inc., owner and op- erator of KX96, CKGE-FM and CKDO- AM, created a rock-based station, transforming CKGE-FM 94.9 to 94.9 The Rock. It will play rock from the 60s to today. "Our analysis of radio formats and tuning in Durham Region led us to a clear conclusion that Durham needs a broad-based rock station," said DRI president Doug Kirk. On-air talent includes Al Joynes and Laura Mainella, Vanessa Murphy, Rockin Rod, Matt Diamond and on Thursday and Friday nights, David Marsden. Pro- gramming vice-president Steve Kassay calls Marsden "Canada's foremost au- thority on rock music." The station will continue to focus on local news and community events.

See page B2 Injured hamstring doesn’t stop Paul Martin from hurdling triumphs at junior nationals BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----It would take more than a lingering leg injury to keep a city hurdler from his appointment with gold at the 2003 Canadian Ju- nior Track and Field Champi- onships in Saskatoon last weekend. Despite not being fully healed from a hamstring pull suffered at the provincial high school champi- onships in St. Catharines last month, Paul Martin ran to double hurdles gold at the Canadian junior track and field showcase hosted at Griffith Stadium July 4 to 6. He captured gold in the 400- metre hurdles in a personal-best time of 53.48 seconds, which met the qualifying standards for the Pan-Am junior championships, meaning he'll be on the Canadian team competing at the 2003 Pan American Junior Championships in Bridgetown, Barbados July 18 to 20. The topper for the 19-year-old member of the University of Toron- to Track and Field Team was de- feating familiar rival and friend Cameron Sahadath in the final of the 110-metre hurdles. It was the Pickering High School hurdler who defeated Martin -- who injured his hamstring early in the race -- for the 2003 Ontario Federation of School Athletics Association (OFSAA) 110m hurdles crown. It was the only blemish on what has been a remarkable season on the track. It was a repeat gold medal for Martin in the 110m hurdles at the junior nationals, winning the event in a time of 14.31 seconds, just ahead of second-place Sahadath, who was clocked in 14.69 seconds. Mar tin also won the 110m hurdles crown in 2002. There was some concern over whether Martin should compete at the junior nationals. He was cau- tioned by physiotherapist Ed Ratz to forego the junior nationals as his hamstring was still not 100-per cent healed after only four weeks of treatment following his injury. "I only had a month of physio and it usually takes two months to be fully rehabilitated," says Martin. Confident his leg would hold to- gether, Martin decided to risk fur- ther injury to run at the junior na- tionals. He's glad he did. "I basically made up my mind I was going to run," says Martin, an OAC graduate from Pine Ridge Secondary School. "I believe every- thing happens for a reason. I be- lieved I was going to run hard and nothing would happen. I kept my faith." But, Martin admits, the key to staying healthy enough to win gold in Saskatoon was fine-tuning his warm-ups prior to the heats and fi- nals in each of his events. His preparation was put to the test prior to the final of the 400m hurdles Sunday, as rain had start- ed to fall prior to his event and, coupled with cool temperatures, it was a combination that could have had dire consequences for his ten- der hamstring. "I warmed up more than I usually do because of the leg. I was stretch- ing my leg and trying to keep warm. In terms of preparation, I was more worried about the cool weather than I was about the rain." His attention now turns to the Pan-Am junior meet in the Barba- dos where he'll run the 110m and the 400m hurdles. There is a twist, however, in the 110m hurdles event as the hurdles will be raised to a se- nior height of 42 inches. "It will be more difficult, but I ex- pect to do well. I'm excited about Barbados," says Martin, who'll leave with the Canadian team July 16. He's also making plans to attend a U.S. college on an athletic schol- arship, starting in January. Al- though it's still tentative, he ex- pects to sign on with Kent State University in Ohio on a scholarship. NNAATTIIOONNAALL NNOOTTEESS::Pickering High School's JJaassoonn JJoorrddaann also competed in Saskatoon in the 100 metres and 200 metres events. He f inished 18th in the preliminary heat for the 100 metres, with the top 16 qualifying for the semifinals. Meanwhile, in the 200 metres, he qualified for the finals after placing sixth in the qualifying heat in 22.43 seconds. In the final, he was eighth in 22.80 seconds...

Preds prey on soccer foes to capture Robbie crown Pickering under-16 girls’ squad cools off North London Meteors in championship tilt PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ---- Laurie Stefani's two goals propelled the Pickering Predators past the North London Meteors in the girls' under-16 championship final at the presti- gious Robbie International Soccer Tournament recently. Stefani's textbook goals were all the Business Development Bank of Canada Predators needed to se- cure the 2-0 win over North Lon- don at the Robbie -- the largest charity soccer tournament in the world -- in Scarborough last Mon- day. The North London side was no pushover and refused to quit until the closing whistle. In the dying minutes, the Meteors showered more shots on net than both sides had managed in the first three- quarters of play. This onslaught in- cluded three corners and five dan- gerously deep free kicks. A fearless defensive wall and the perfor- mance of goalkeeper Kristina Lavoie, the game's most valuable player, thwarted all attempts to break the shutout. Midfielder and team captain Brooke McCalla was named as the tournament's most valuable player on the strength of her brilliant footwork and control of the mid- field over the three days of play. McCalla's cool, consistent perfor- mance allowed the Predators to dictate play over much of the tour- nament. Predators' head coach Bert L aing credits the success to team- work and a strong work ethic both on game day and at practice, stat- ing, "Practice is where we bring it all together." Whether it's working on techni- cal skills, field strategies or a con- ditioning session with competitive track coach Tony D'Oliveira of the Got Speed program, Laing says his players arrive committed and ready to give it their all. Pickering had advanced earlier through pool play, defeating the Georgetown Mustangs 2-1, Toronto Spartacus 7-0 and the Sault Ste. Marie Tenaris Civics 5-0. A well-placed chip from the charging midfielder, Michelle Sait- ta, led to the 1-0 overtime win over the Kanata Rovers in Sunday's semifinal. Not withstanding the Robbie win, Laing maintains this is a de- velopment year for the Pickering side. His 2003 team goal is to win the Central Girls' Soccer League (CGSL) title and earn promotion into Ontario's elite provincial OYSL league. "If these ladies maintain their focus, if they continue to challenge themselves to reach a higher level of play then I think we will be sur- prising a lot of people in women's soccer in the years to come," said L aing. Completing the Pickering Preda- tors’ tournament roster were Katherine Bronkhorst, Stephanie Duncan, Lisa Henein, Kaitlyn Jones, Jacquelyn Lee, Brianna McIntosh, Colleen Oldman, Eliza- beth Purr, Reisa Evans, Devon Reid, Tamara Roccasalvo, Kirsten Walker, Krystle Wiltshire and Jen- nifer West. Joining Laing on the coaching staff are assistant coach Colin Reid, trainers Kelly Sheahan and Karen Ritter and manager Roslyn Lavoie.

Will Aces turn up for Rock in playoffs? Ajax-Pickering lacrosse seniors finish regular season Saturday DDUURRHHAAMM ----With one regular-season game remaining, the Ajax-Pickering Rock can't be faulted for looking ahead to the playoffs in its inaugural season in the Ontario Lacrosse Asso- ciation senior 'B' loop. The expansion Rock (10-5-0 for 20 points) will finish fourth in the league and will play either the Arthur Aces or the Burlington Chiefs in the best- of-three first round of the playoffs, expected to begin late next week. As an added bonus, the Rock will enjoy home-floor advantage in the opening post-season set. Prevailing wisdom seems to point to Arthur being the Rock's first- round opponent. Burlington (5-8-1 for 11 points, sixth in standings) has two games remaining, both against upper-echelon teams in the league, beginning Thursday versus the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks and concluding against the Rock at the Pickering Recreation Complex Sat- urday at 7 p.m. The Chiefs must win both games in order to leapfrog past the Arthur Aces (6-9-0 for 12 points) into fifth place in the standings. Meanwhile, Arthur can clinch fifth place outright if it defeats the eighth-place Ennis- more Shamrocks (4-11-0) in Arthur Saturday night. But, no matter which team the Rock plays in the opening playoff round, team co-owner Rob Roche says the team is pumped and ready to get the post-season under way. "We're prepared. We've got a good team going here and we're not wor- ried about Arthur or Burlington, al- though we prefer Burlington because of the travel involved," says Roche. "The guys are eager. It doesn't matter to them who we play, they just want to get to the playoffs." The Rock suffered a mild setback on the weekend against the first- place and defending league champi- on Owen Sound Woodsmen. The Woodsmen broke off the Rock's five- game winning streak with a resound- ing 9-3 win over Ajax-Pickering in Owen Sound last Saturday night. For Roche, the humbling loss was a dose of reality for the young Rock players who were perhaps a tad cocky that a sixth consecutive victory was there for the taking. The veteran Woodsmen team, however, had other ideas. "I think we were a little overconfi- dent because we had won five in a row coming into the game, but we got surprised," says Roche. "I'm sure we're going to learn from it." Rob Milnes, Nick Trudeau and team captain Brad Cann scored for the Rock.

Ajax-Pickering bantams take close win over Oshawa in bantam football DDUURRHHAAMM ---- A fight to the finish. That was an apt description of the football contest between the Ajax-Pickering Dolphins and the Oshawa Hawkeyes bantam squads at Oshawa's Civic Stadium last Monday night. In the Central Ontario Minor Football League contest between the two Durham Re- g ion rivals, the game was decided in the de- fensive trenches with the Dolphins emerging with a 21-15 victory in a contest where all the points were scored in the second half. It wasn't until midway in the third quarter that the deadlock was finally broken. Dol- phins' running back Dan West broke loose for a 60-yard carry to the end zone. The Hawkeyes, however, responded shortly after with a touchdown and field goal of their own to take a 9-7 lead into the fourth quarter. Dolphins' fullback Ryan Park pounded the ball into the end zone from the Oshawa 20- yard line to give Ajax-Pickering the lead again. Oshawa regained the lead, 15-14, at the three-minute warning after a spectacular 40- yard passing play. The Dolphins, to their credit, didn't hold back or get discouraged by the late Oshawa major. With 10 seconds remaining, quarter- back Jeremy Pohner dived into the end zone to seal the victory. The Dolphins' defence was steady through- out the game with stellar play from Milos Kucevic, William Porteous, Kyle Exume, Jy- otin Handa, Michael Dearness, Feras Al-sadi, Jermaine Benjamin, Andrew Collymore, Derek VanDusen, Byron Metcalfe, Carthic Rajagopalan, Morgous Kirollos, Andrew Mas- tromartino, Rob Budway, Matt Bulloch, Matt Plourde and Richard Morrison. Meanwhile, the offence was generated by the play of Ryan Rouleau, Jesse Andrews, Treavor Reid, Scott Macdonald, Levall Chase, Shawn Gore, Donnel Williams, Chris Gavin, Nick Blake, Alex Gemmiti, Brendon Eadie, Brett Lacey, Kory Young, Joel Lalla, Shawn Walker and Adam Pohner.

Call Brian Legree at 905-579-4400 or email blegree@durhamregion.com Remember, golf is simply a ‘game’ Practice, practice, practice... does any- one really like to practice? I know as a kid I wasn’t much of a fan of hitting balls. I grew up playing at Cedarhurst Golf Club in Beaverton, and we didn’t have a real driving range like they do now. What they had was a space between the 10th and 18th hole where you could use a shag bag. It was work to practice and not some- thing I enjoyed with a great deal of enthusi- asm. I was lucky to have my brother Richard out there with me sometimes, or other kids.We would play closest to the pin contests and each would try and show up the other. When we worked on our short game we also spent lots of time trying out differ- ent shots. On the putting green we used to play nine holes and see who could have the lowest score. If you practice and make a game out of it you can have lots of fun. When I teach putting I give my students lots of drills to do and some putting games to play. If you remember that golf is a game and play it to have fun you will enjoy it more. I often chuckle inside when I am play- ing golf with people who get upset with their game. I used to play in a lot of Pro-am tourna- ments. I was on tour practising all the time and these guys hardly played golf but would expect to hit shots like tour players. Some players have ridiculously high expec- tations for people who just play recreation- ally. I like watching players try shots that pros wouldn’t even consider. Then they get mad when they screw up on the hole and can’t believe how it happened. Playing smart is what I recommend and try playing within yourself. If you want to learn something about the game, try playing a round of golf with just a seven iron and a putter.You may miss the time you spend in the woods looking for balls but you may enjoy seeing what the middle of the fairway is like. You also may find, as many others have, that you can play just as well or better with just these two clubs. Go practice, have fun, and enjoy play- ing this great game. Work on having a pre-shot routine where you stand behind the ball and visual- ize the shot you are about to hit. Then take a deep cleansing breath in through the nose and out your mouth, feel the calmness come over you before you hit. Pick out a little spot in front of your ball you are trying to hit over, line your body up on a parallel line, feel comfortable and swing away.
