On their way, they met “a miracle”, made friends and have started the process of becoming productive mem- bers of society. Lizbeth and Gerardo Jimenez, along with children Cristhian, 16, Dou- glas, 14, and Liz, 12, are mak- ing the adjustment from Costa Rica, fleeing “some problems” in their homeland. Through interpreter Gerardo Hernandez, an employee with the Ajax-Pickering So- cial Development Council who helps immigrants settle in Canada, they say the move to a new country has, so far, been “very good”. They’re from San Carlos, in the northern part of Costa Rica. “I know that Canada is very protective for families, for women,” says Ms. Jimenez. Mr. Jimenez added, “It’s where human rights are re- spected. People follow the rules.” In Costa Rica “they are suppose to, but right now there is a lot of corruption,” Mr. Jimenez says. With the problems at home forcing the family to flee, they considered either Canada or Switzerland, to which they applied. “We sent some documents, but the answer from the Switzerland embassy was it’s a very long process. We heard about another way in Cana- da, which was a little bit faster, shorter process,” Ms. Jimenez states. “Our situa- tion in Costa Rica was fragile and we decided to flee.” “When they made the deci- sion, they didn’t know any- thing about Canada,” Mr. Jimenez says. “We didn’t know about the cities, just it was a social and peaceful country.” Job is done for these workhorses BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — The long-time battle over the barges parked in Frenchman’s Bay is com- ing to a close this summer. One of the 40-foot vessels was dragged out of the bay last month. Arrangements are currently being made to remove the remaining three barges as soon as possible, says their owner. In the past, City council- lors have called the barges a permanent eyesore and un- safe to other boats navigat- ing the bay. They’ve even lob- bied the Department of Fish- eries and Oceans to remove them. But the Pickering Har- bour Company (PHC) has al- ways maintained the vessels are safe and essential work- ing marina equipment. “We’re going to have them moved primarily because there’s no need for any work to be done (at the marina),” said PHC president Harold Hough. At the same time, his com- pany is doing what it can to improve the “seascape” of the area as it begins to build 66 townhouses on the north end of the marina lands, he said. “Should we require the equipment, we’ll have them come in again,” Mr. Hough added. “But they wouldn’t stay long.” The barges’ owner Steve Richardson said he has been supplying the PHC with ves- sels for 13 years. The barges, he said, have moved in and out of the bay over the years when required for work else- where. The cost of marina opera- tions “goes up significantly” if a barge has to be brought in and out of the bay for each job, Mr. Richardson ex- plained. It costs $4,000 to $5,000 a day for the tug boat to pull the barges and could cost up to $16,000 to trans- port them, depending on the distance. For that reason, barges are usually kept in harbours, like Frenchman’s Bay, he said. But when asked about the added expense, Mr. Hough didn’t express any concerns and added his company Home delivery PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Jordan Sampson winds up for his delivery to the plate during Pickering Softball Association select squirt boys action at Dunmoore Park, Saturday.

Pickering has five members on the board, while Ajax has four, Claring- ton three and Belleville one. Seven of the 13 board members are public repre- sentatives, appointed by their local municipality. The remaining six are politicians. But the four municipalities are currently considering al- tering Veridian’s shareholder agreement to allow them to appoint less members of the public and more elected offi- cials should they so wish.

The more than 50 members from all over the region turn heads when they stroll into restaurants for their monthly lunches. And heads were turning at Cullen Gardens on July 18 when a group of more than 30 sat down, red hats and all, for one of their summer lunches. “My sister-in-law in Virginia called me and she had been invited to one and she said you have got to start a chapter up there it is wonderful,” said Queen Mother of the Red Hat Dollies and Pickering resident Linda Fernandez. “It is so much fun.” Based on the poem ‘Warning, when I am an old woman, I shall wear purple,’ by British author, Jenny Joseph, women across the continent have started clubs, which organize lunches and other fabulous functions to get out and meet new people. The only requirement for joining is a red hat and a purple out- fit. Some women get right into it and take the clothing condition one step further. Red Hat Dolly member Ruth Warehan from Scarborough was decked out in a red broche, red shoes, red bag and a purple sun dress with a strip of purple fabric circling her red hat. “Oh, it is fun,” said Mrs. Warehan. “I love it.

News Advertiser ...keeping you in touch with your community Metroland Durham Region Media Group Ajax man also charged makes court appearance BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — A street-level crack dealer, nabbed during a three- month undercover police operation, has been handed an 18-month jail sentence. Matthew Terrance Dymond, 24, of Richmond Street East, Oshawa pleaded guilty to trafficking Thurs- day in Superior Court of Justice in Whitby. Mr. Justice Hugh McLean credited him with 14-months pretrial custody and ordered he serve four more months, as part of a joint-sentence proposal. The judge also placed him on two- years’ probation with a condition not to possess non-prescribed drugs. Court heard Mr. Dymond, who goes by the street name ‘Reds,’ sold an undercover police officer crack cocaine on three separate oc- casions between October and De- cember, during the sting operation dubbed ‘Project Hook.’ The amounts ranged from 1.4 to 2.2 grams - purchased for $160 and $220 - and the buys took place at various locations in Oshawa, court was told. Federal prosecutor Ramona Abra- ham said a third person, named as a co-accused, arranged the first two deals. Mr. Dymond had one prior conviction for trafficking, for which he received six-months. He was among 23 suspected deal- ers from Pickering to Clarington ar- rested in January as part of the pro- ject by the Durham Regional Police drug, intelligence and street crime units. Police said 400 grams of crack were purchased during undercover buys, $200,000 worth of crack was seized in total and 186 charges laid. The project targeted street level to high-level traffickers, including an Ajax man who police allege was one of the region’s crack kingpins. The man, who was out on bail on trafficking charges in Toronto, was arrested along with his wife. A kilo- gram of cocaine was seized from his home. Also Thursday, Roger Oneil Cassup, 28, of Wright Crescent, Ajax, appeared briefly in court on traffick- ing-related charges. His case is being transferred to Toronto to be combined with his other charges, court heard. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 23, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P Highway 2 Brock RdLiverpool RdKingston Rd.

On July 18 around 1:45 p.m., a man entered the Scotia Bank on Brock Road near Plummer Street, just north of Bayly Street, and demanded money from a teller. The man was given cash and quietly left the bank. He did not produce a weapon. The suspect is described as non- white, roughly 22 years old, five feet- eight inches to six feet tall, and weighing about 190 pounds. He has a muscular build, chinstrap beard and a goatee. The man was wearing blue jeans, a multi-coloured shirt, a black peaked cap and sunglasses. Addi- tional photos of the suspect can be seen on the Durham Regional Police Web site, www.drps.ca, under ‘media releases.’ Investigators would like to speak with anyone who has informa- tion about the robbery.

Ajax endorsed their recommendation this week. Clarington has also passed the recommendation. Coun. Brenner, who brought forth the motion, said he believes Belleville will make it unani- mous since all municipalities have expressed they would like to see changes made to the board’s make up. The change also provides an additional seat for Belleville. Despite having near equal own- ership in the corporation to Clarington, Belleville only has one seat on the board, said Coun. Brenner. “Pickering for some time has been concerned, as a share- holder, it’s being left out of the loop,” he explained. The City won’t receive more members on the board but will be able to ap- point more City councillors if the change is approved. “There have been concerns with the rate increases of the past, for example, or the loss of dollars in the sale of its market- ing wing.” The amendment, he said, has been carefully worded to allow municipalities more flexibility, when it comes time to make its appointments every three years to the board. It doesn’t necessarily mean only one member of the public will sit on the Veridian board, Coun. Brenner said. But it means municipalities will now have the flexibility to make that decision for themselves. “This is not to target the board members at all,” he stressed. “They are people from the community with a wide va- riety of experience, who give up a lot of their time. “But when people have con- cerns they don’t call a director, they call their councillor,” he added. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson, who presently sits on the Veridian board, said he didn’t see the matter being an issue of accountability at all but more about flexibility. “It doesn’t necessarily mean less members of the public and more politicians,” he said. “There’s a criteria set out... for appointments. Last year we had 48 people apply.” “The CEO rates each person and tries to choose the best one for the job,” Coun. Johnson ex- plained. “If there’s a better can- didate sitting on municipal council he may choose them. That’s my understanding.” The change gives everyone a fair playing field, he said, adding, “If a councillor is better suited, they should be on it.” Pickering council looks to have more say on Veridian board ✦ Pickering from page 1 Summer camp moulds budding artists PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Allison Foster, left, gets a helping hand from camp director Shannon Killham as she begins to construct a clay lighthouse.

Mr. Richardson has been out of the country and had other priorities to work through be- fore arranging for their re- moval, he said. Delighted to see the barges go, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland said he doesn’t care about the reasons why, just that the vessels are bid- ding adieu to Frenchman’s Bay. “This is fantastic news. I’ve heard from so many boaters, who have sited the barges as a risk to navigation and they don’t want to enter the bay be- cause of them,” he said. Their rusted out hulls are not only unattractive but they block an otherwise pleasing view of the bay from Progress Frenchman’s Bay East Park, currently under construction, Coun. Holland said. It’s always been a contentious issue as to if the barges are actually leak- ing contaminants into the bay, he added. “There is absolutely no legit- imate concern from a naval point of view,” countered Mr. Hough. “There is no oil or grease leaking from the barges either.” Toronto Region Conserva- tion officials confirmed tests of the bay found no evidence of environmental impacts from the barges.

Vic Silgailis, who retired as works commissioner in 2000, called Mr. McCorkell his “right-hand man” after knowing him for almost 30 years. “I relied a lot on Jack’s opinions,” Mr. Silgailis said. “He was very, very good with staff, very per- sonable.” Mr. McCorkell was re- cently named one of North America’s top 10 public works leaders by the American Public Works Association, the only Canadian recipient this year. One of the hardest is- sues over the years has been garbage and landfills. “I know Jack struggled quite a bit with placing a landfill in Durham,” said Pickering Regional Coun- cillor Rick Johnson, who’s known Mr. McCorkell for 15 years. “It was a very dif- ficult process...and proba- bly aged him more than he wanted to be aged.” Mr. McCorkell called the matter “a disappoint- ment.” “The ability to deal with the disposal of garbage has been a problem that hasn’t been solved,” he said. “There’s been a lot of progress with recycling, but disappointing to see not only garbage leaving our backyard, but our country.” He’s also had a first hand view of the debate over a central regional headquarters. “It’s taken a long time to resolve,” Mr. McCorkell laughed, adding he’s been in “temporary headquar- ters” for 20 to 30 years.

They sold all their possessions and fled. “When our neighbours and friends knew our intention, everyone start- ed buying and helping them with some money,” Mr. Jimenez says. In early April, the family boarded a plane, which stopped in Cuba to pick up some Canadian tourists. That’s when they met their “mira- cle”, in the form of Pickering resi- dent Sylvia Schellenberg. “What for some people is luck and a coincidence, for our own family and situation, it was faith,” Ms. Jimenez says. “Before we left, we prayed a lot. Family and friends prayed and wished us luck and prosperity. “We put our family in God’s hands and left everything.” Ms. Schellenberg and her hus- band Walter had been in Cuba tour- ing with a Christian choir, she as a singer, he playing the drums. They stayed a few days after the tour and then had to scramble to get a flight back, managing to get two seats on a plane, but not together. She was sitting beside the Jimenezs and “they only speak Spanish and very little English and I don’t speak Spanish,” Ms. Schellen- berg recalls. Their common bond was their Christian faith. “Halfway through the flight, the husband confided in me. He said he trusted me and said they would be refugees in Canada. I said keep it down,” she notes. “The family prayed that a family would take them in and help. I was their angel. They called me their angel.” Using a computer to try and translate, Mr. Jimenez asked about a cheap hotel for the family. “I thought their money would be gone in a week or two,” says Ms. Schellen- berg. Ms. Jimenez says, “Sylvia didn’t speak too much Spanish and we don’t speak English, but we started talking about things. She men- tioned we had the same faith, so she asked us where we were planning on staying. We mentioned we didn’t have any place to stay, so she of- fered her basement for us to stay in. But, she had to ask her husband first. “So, they talked and they agreed. Sylvia mentioned it would be safer to go directly to their house. We had three children and she didn’t want them to go to an immigration shel- ter. She wanted us to go directly to their house. It was a kind of a mira- cle. They heard of another family on the same day ask for refugee (sta- tus) and were rejected on the spot and sent back.” The Jimenez family timed their landing with a local ice storm. “It was quite the introduction to Cana- da,” Ms. Schellenberg says. Given that the Schellenbergs are “limited in our knowledge” of the immigration system, Sylvia told them to wait before claiming refugee status. “I felt for them if they got turned back,” she says. “They were just planning on staying 10 days. If it worked out, it worked out. They had return tickets.” Almost as soon as the family ar- rived, Ms. Schellenberg began call- ing around, trying to find out how to proceed. She spoke with the pastor at a Spanish church in Toronto and was told many were being turned away. She took the family to the Schel- lenbergs church, the Christian Life Centre in north Ajax, and members of the congregation came forward with offerings of money and gro- ceries. As she didn’t know how to pro- ceed, “we found out day to day,” Ms. Schellenberg states. Ms. Jimenez recalled the outpour- ing of public support. “So many people we didn’t know and didn’t know about, started to approach Sylvia’s house, bringing money and food because they want- ed to help us,” she adds. “They took us to some activities, social or fami- ly activities, in order to welcome us. They were always giving us presents or food.” At one church event, the family was surprised to be mentioned and were cheered. In addition, basket- balls were given to the children. Ms. Schellenberg’s expectations of a one- or two-week stay turned into eight for the Jimenez family. Also sharing the home were the Schellenberg children — Max, 12, nine-year-old Ben, Victoria, seven, and Hilary, two. “No one wanted to take them be- cause they didn’t have an income,” says Ms. Schellenberg. “We got a basement apartment. The landlord was very gracious.” Mr. Jimenez adds, “When we de- cided to move to an apartment, it was a joint effort. All you can see was provided for us, furniture and everything and some people are still coming now.” The apartment was furnished by the congregation of Peace Lutheran Church. “I went to garage sales to buy things,” Ms. Schellenberg notes. “I keep thinking these are my babies.” Douglas and Liz are now attend- ing Glengrove Public School, while Cristhian and his parents are taking English as a second language class- es every day. Cristhian will attend Pine Ridge Secondary School in the fall. “We’re forgetting Spanish and not learning English,” Mr. Jimenez quips. Another member of Ms. Schellen- berg’s church who speaks Spanish has been helping with the immigra- tion paperwork that needs to be completed. The next step is a refugee board hearing, although a date hasn’t yet been set. “We know we don’t have a big chance to be accepted, but every day we know more and more about the society. We love it and we would like to settle here, raise our family here,” Mr. Jimenez says. Asked if there’s a chance they could be sent back, he jokes, “Yes, but you know more than us.” Ms. Jimenez adds, “We have faith. Mr. Hernandez says if the family fails at the hearing, they can appeal and that could take two to threes years to be resolved. Mr. Jimenez hopes to one day work here in sales, while Ms. Jimenez taught children from six to 12 years and would like to do so again. “I feel really comfortable with children,” she says. Mr. Hernandez knows what they’re going through. He came to Canada from his native Columbia, where he had been a lawyer. He drove a truck before enrolling in the psychology program at Trent Uni- versity. One advantage he had was he knew English. Cristhian, like many 16-year-olds, is into skateboarding and was re- cently given a board. “He’s happier now to have an ap- propriate place to practice and doesn’t have to do it on the street,” his father says. Adjusting has been more difficult for Douglas and Liz, their mother says. “They’re catching on but they were really home sick at the begin- ning,” she adds. The Jimenez family likes Canada “mucho”, Mr. Jimenez says. “It’s a very organized country, clean and people are friendly.” “I like that there is no violence, no robbery,” Ms. Jimenez adds. “Back home we hear about two or three killings a day. People were assaulted on the bus.” Since being in Canada, the only murder they’ve heard of was the Holly Jones killing in Toronto. “It’s a nice environment to raise a family, especially the children,” Ms. Jimenez says. “If we have any prob- lem in the future, the law is really enforced and we trust the problem will be solved through the law and not by ourselves.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 23, 2003 PAGE 5 A/P AJAX - NOW OPEN!Harwood Place - 314 Harwood Ave. S Tel. 905-686-3100 Hours: Mon-Fri 9:30am-9pm; Sat 9:30am-6pm; Sun Noon-5pm PICKERING - Pickering Town Centre, 1355 Kingston Road Tel. 905-839-5990 Hours: Mon-Fri 10:00am-9pm; Sat 9:30am-6pm; Sun Noon-6pm If you don’t receive “Service Worth Paying For” or have any questions or delivery concerns please call The News Advertiser at: 905-683-5117 CARRIERS COLLECT EVERY THREE WEEKS SERVICE WORTH PAYING FOR 100% is kept by the carrier as payment for their delivery.

Call 1-800-555- 5555.' Who calls that number? And more importantly, why? What kind of desperate shampoo conundrum are peo- ple getting themselves into that they need to call that number? What kind of questions could you possibly need to ask? It's a bottle of shampoo, not a parti- cle accelerator. But, of course, we are talking about human beings after all and, as we all know, there is no limit to both our genius and our stupidity. • "Hi, shampoo hotline? Lis- ten, are we supposed to wash the hairs one at a time or can we do 'em all in a big bunch?" • "Hello, shampoo guy? Yeah, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I was working the lather into my eye- lashes, 'cause they're hair aren't they? And now it kinda burns. Also, I can't see so good." • "Help me please! I must've left it on my head for too long. I think it leached into my brain, 'cause now I can't think of noth- ing dirty." • "Hi there...I was ah, washing my hair and I dropped the bot- tle, then when I bent over to pick it up I slipped and fell and ah... landed on the ah... well you're gonna laugh when you hear this..." I'll bet you that 1-800 number is ringing off the hook 24/7. The scary thing is, on items that should have a 'Questions? Call 1-800-etc' number, items like chainsaws, bear traps or firearms, items that can kill you, we find nothing at all. I think it would show uncommon good sense to have emblazoned across the stalk of a rifle the words 'Questions? Please, for the love of God, put this thing down and call 1-800-etc". But no, those words of wisdom are sagely reserved for the real dan- gers - the shampoo, the tooth- paste and the hemorrhoid cream. Makes you wonder what kind of person they've got on the other end of that 1-800 number doesn't it? I picture some bald- ing, chain-smoking guy, one hand nervously gripping a mi- crophone, the other loosening his tie. Sort of like a harried 'Air traffic controller' for shampoo near-misses. "All right let's start with your name?" he says in a firm, yet friendly voice. "Vivian" comes the timid, frightened reply. "That's a pretty name Vivian. Now, listen to me. I'm gonna get you out of that shower safely, you understand. Everything's gonna be just fine, as long as you do what I tell you." "OK." "Good girl. Now, in front of you, Vivian you should see two knobs, one is for hot, the other is cold. Can you see them Vi- vian?" "Uh-huh." "That's my girl. Now I want you to slowly turn the knob on the left clockwise. Can you do that for me Viv?" "I'll try....Oww, it burns, it burns!" "Dammit Vivian! Clockwise! I said Clockwise! Get your nose up! You're too low Vivian! You're overshooting the bath mat!" Yes, I imagine it's a difficult life being a shampoo crisis worker. For every five or six you get safely rinsed and towelled off, there's one that, despite all your efforts, just goes down the drain. Try living with that on your conscience. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

EEddiittoorriiaallss &&OOppiinniioonnss WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ JACQUIE McINNES, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Civil union, civil rights A question of the rights of the few versus the beliefs of many The federal government, in spite of plenty of criti- cism, has made a bold, progressive decision in going ahead with a bill allowing same-sex couples to marry. Released last week by Justice Minister Martin Cau- chon, it will be a while yet before the bill comes to a final vote in the House of Commons. The government is con- sulting with the Supreme Court to make sure the law does not violate the Constitution. Should the highest court give its consent, the legislation will go to the House of Commons where the Prime Minister has promised to allow a free vote. It could well wind up being one of the final acts of Jean Chretien's 10 years as PM which means there may be extra pressure on Liberals to back the bill. Signs are developing that those who oppose same-sex marriages are rallying and calling or mailing MPs to urge them to vote against the bill. The picture right now sug- gests local MPs are largely against the bill. Durham MP Alex Shepherd, for instance, says the vast majority of those who have contacted him say they are against same- sex marriages. Mr. Shepherd plans to poll his con- stituents and vote the way they tell him to vote. Northumberland MP Paul Macklin is mulling over the issue and hasn't yet decided, while Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague and Whitby-Ajax MP Judi Longfield have said they will vote against the bill. Os- hawa MP Ivan Grose has said, provided religious rights are protected, he will support the bill. The bill properly maintains a separation between church and state and does not force any religious group to participate in same- sex marriages. Provided no church or religious group is forced to perform a marriage ceremony which is contrary to the tenets of its faith, it's hard to understand the op- position to same-sex marriages. If same-sex couples can live together, can receive spousal benefits, and can adopt children, participation in a civil union is a logical next step. When it comes to civil rights, Parliamentarians are charged with protecting the rights of the minority just as surely as the rights of the majority. After all, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides guarantees of individual freedoms, not free- doms based solely on majorities. Many in Durham Re- gion and across the country oppose same-sex marriage. Beyond their disagreeing with the lifestyle or sexual persuasion of homosexuals, gay marriages have little or no effect on those who do not participate in them. Civil rights - and the decision by two consenting adults to marry surely falls within the definition - should not be decided by polls or referendums.The goal is to do what is right for individuals, when that right does not have any noticeable negative impact on others. Surely that is the case here. 777 Audley Road, Ajax Built in the 1840's, this is a beautiful example of a stone farm house. Land registry records show that the property was bought by a Joseph Webster in 1820. A copy of the Last Will and Testament of Mr. Webster shows he left the house and proper- ty to his son, Herbert Earl Webster, with some provisions. Her- bert’s mother and three sisters were to be allowed to use the house and garden. Upon the marriage of Herbert, the mother and any unmarried sisters still living at home would occupy the front half of the house and part of the garden and orchard, while Herbert and his wife would occupy the back half of the house and the remaining garden and orchard. There is no record as to how well this arrangement worked. It’s a dirty job...

The rude looks and com- ments about which she writes are, sadly, an everyday occur- rence for those of us with chil- dren on the autism spectrum. Because our children do not appear physically different from typically developing children, their unpredictable, often inap- propriate, behaviour is assumed to be the result of lax parental discipline or psychological dis- turbance. The disapproving stares are indeed ignorance in the true sense of the word. There is still a widespread misconception that autism is something found only among the institutionalized and con- sists of silently rocking back and forth all day. In fact, most individuals with autism spec- trum disorder (ASD) live among us in the community and behaviours range from mild so- cial quirks to self-injurious ac- tivity. The Durham Chapter of Autism Society Ontario strives to promote public awareness and better understanding of ASD and information, support and friendship to the members of our community who live with it.

Phase one Dillon consul- tants report makes it abundant- ly clear to anyone that Seaton (land on the east side of Duffin Creek) is far, far more environ- mentally sensitive than the land on the west side of Duffin Creek. Some of the main reasons being that on the east side of Duffin Creek is: • Three layers of aquifers that have high and fast base flows and could become easily pollut- ed with any development; • three cold streams that are dependent on 50 per cent to 60 per cent of ground water in study area for survival; • rare habitat in woodlots. The east side of Duffin Creek consists of: 29.71 per cent of woodlots and vegetated valley, 38.75 per cent of green space and open fields, 20.57 per cent of agri- cultural land that is presently being farmed and 10.98 per cent of roads/urban areas. The west side of Duffin Creek consists of 8.76 per cent of woodlots and vegetated valley, 40.62 per cent of greenspace and open fields, 16.52 per cent of roads and urban areas and 34.1 per cent of agri- cultural land that was sold by the Provincial government, which is presently owned by de- velopers. P.A.C.T. is skeptical of any claim, on environmental grounds, to prefer development on the east side of Duffin Creek to meet provincial growth tar- gets. From a farming perspective perhaps the question should be who is going to farm the less en- vironmentally-sensitive land on the west side of Duffin Creek as it is now owned by developers. And, why not continue to farm the agricultural land on the east side of Duffin creek and protect the cold-water streams, aquifers, and woodlots on the east side. We must protect the environ- ment to the maximum possible, while permitting responsible growth. It seems that would mean developing the west side of Duffin Creek where the servicing is for development and preserv- ing 100 per cent of the east side. Of course all requirements for protection of Duffin Creek are musts as well as the few minor woodlots on the west side of the creek.

S www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 23, 2003 PAGE 7 P BByy JJaannee MMccDDoonnaalldd Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Although it’s time for summer vacation, death does not take a holiday. No one is more aware of this cruel fact than Fran King and Andrea Shaw. Both women have worked tire- lessly to develop programs for teenagers to help them deal with tragedies in their young lives. “In terms of summer, Hospice Durham has offered to be available,” says Fran King, the Grief and Loss program co-ordinator for the Durham District School Board. As well as Hospice Durham offer- ing support to grieving teens during the summer, the Durham Grief Re- source Centre is on standby. Andrea Shaw, executive director of Hearth Place Cancer Support Centre, which runs a complementary eight-week group program for grieving teenagers, has offered to help co-ordi- nate needs that may arise during the summer. “The grief and loss support groups will start back up in the fall after the initial first busy weeks,” assures Ms. King. “People are now trained at 18 DDSB secondary schools to talk one- on-one with students and to offer support groups.” Bringing teens with similar difficul- ties together gives them a chance to help each other, the centre’s execu- tive director points out. “The power of support groups is that kids don’t want to be different,” says Ms. Shaw, explaining it is helpful to teens to meet others the same age who are also going through tough times. “They see others who have to be home with parents or to make meals. The groups give them the sense that they are not in isolation. They’re not totally alone.” Amber Barry was 15 two years ago when her only sibling, a brother, was killed in a car accident. She says the program gave her a place to be dur- ing that difficult time. “It gave me somewhere to go and talk with people who understood,” says the Grade 12 R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate student who will graduate after one more semester at the Os- hawa high school. “Some friends said they knew what I felt but they didn’t. And they didn’t understand why I didn’t want to go out on a Saturday night.” There are many ways the leaders of the programs reach out to a teenager. Parents will call the school or teach- ers or friends of the student will refer them. “Often the attendance secretary at school notices something,” adds Ms. King. Advocates trained in grief coun- selling are located in each of the schools to run interference for young people struggling to stay on track. These trained individuals can help modify the workload for grieving stu- dents by not having him or her write an exam or by helping to work around an assignment. “A kid can’t do that for them- selves,” says Ms. King. “Being a teenager is tough enough.” Mrs. Shaw is particularly grateful to the teachers and guidance coun- sellors who take on the task of help- ing grieving teens, on their own time. “These teachers have done 60 hours of training in the last year in addition to the hours they spend doing the groups,” she says. “They have a very deep commitment.” The Grief and Loss program began in 1994 at R. S. McLaughlin Colle- giate where Fran King was guidance counsellor before becoming a full- fledged grief counsellor. In the last three years, the number of DDSB schools offering the program has grown dramatically from three to the current 18. Two staff members in each of the schools are trained in grief counselling and more schools are expected to offer the program next year. “There certainly is a need,” says Ms. King. So much so, she and her colleagues are exploring the possibil- ity of training Grade 7 and 8 staff in elementary schools. The long journey grief takes young people on is multi-faceted, full of pain and hard work. But one highlight in the last couple of years has been ‘Cel- ebration Day.’ This year 120 teenagers, 14- to 19-years of age, along with family members and those trained in grief counselling came together to honour and ac- knowledge their collective courage. “One teen told me the program didn’t change the pain but made her understand what would happen,” says Ms. King. She is forever changed by being in the group during a seri- ous illness and death.” “The groups also help the teens de- velop coping strategies for future losses,” says Mrs. Shaw. “They learn how to grieve and cope with losses... it’s never a matter of just getting A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 23, 2003 www.durhamregion.com No Money Down.

Grief and loss program helps teens deal with life’s tragedies Grief and support counsellor Fran King, second from right, and Andrea Shaw have developed programs for teens dealing with grief. Ms. King chats with teens, from left, Ian Turner, Ashly Sarginson and Amber Berry. Ms. King will be available to meet with teens at Hearth Place July 30 from noon until 2 p.m. through grief. The process is not about getting over it. As we become more educated about grieving, we realize you need to grieve a loss at different times of life - graduation, marriage, the birth of a child.” “So they know they’re not going crazy,” agrees Ms. King. “The program tells the kids, ‘This does hurt a lot, but I will be all right.’ It’s about giving them a little more power. “They become wise long before their time,” she adds. “I have seen kids stay in school be- cause of the support and advocacy instead of acting out. The support team is there to help pick up the pieces and it can help them navi- gate.” Hospice Durham is located at 209 Dundas St. E., Whitby. For more information call 905- 430-4522.

One-woman exhibit at the Velvet Elvis opening July 25 DDUURRHHAAMM ——Just three months after seri- ously focusing on her painting, Holly de Bourbon is holding a one-woman show. The 22-year-old Oshawa resident is hav- ing a solo exhibit of her acrylic works July 25 to 27 at the Velvet Elvis, 221 King St. E. The Montreal band, Amanda Mabro and the Cabaret Band, will entertain at the in- vitation-only opening July 25. "I used to do folk festivals but this is the first time I'm doing my own show," the young artist said. She's been painting "all my life" but real- ly began to seriously focus on her art three months ago. After years of school and full- time jobs, she headed to Mexico last No- vember and painted murals. She worked on a barter system, painting in exchange for room and board. She enjoyed the experience and found herself with more time to concentrate on art than she'd had in four years. Back in Oshawa and between jobs, she has worked on her paintings for the show in Oshawa and one in Montreal at the Fokus Gallery, held on July 17. Her painting captures images of people. "What I try to do is emphasize the emo- tions of people without focusing on their eyes," she said. "I paint a lot of people. I wouldn't exactly call them portraits." She incorporates design details into her works, a trait which comes from her study of graphic design at Seneca College. She freelances as a graphic designer, makes posters for the Velvet Elvis and postcards of her own work, but prefers the painting. "I always liked painting more than being stuck at a computer," she said. Her exhibit will be open to the public after 9 p.m. July 25, when the band will play a second set, with a $2 cover and July 26 and 27 during the Velvet Elvis's busi- ness hours. Her works, from postcards to prints to paintings, will be for sale in the range of $3 to $300.

Golf Driving Range SUMMER FUN AT Local singers get their shot at stardom on Canadian Idol BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer AAJJAAXX ——Ajax has its own idol - two of them, in fact. Local residents Nicole Sinclair and Toya Alexis were among the top 30 contestants competing this week on the television show 'Canadian Idol'. Based on the popular program, 'American Idol', both involve singers performing for a panel of judges and audience members, who can phone in their votes from home. A total of 143 competitors were chosen from 15,000 people who lined up at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre earlier this summer. Judges are in the middle of weeding the top 30 contestants down to 10 finalists. Sinclair, who was eliminated in the second group of 10 contestants last week, said she felt privileged to have made it so far. "Everyone was great. You get to feel like a family," she said, of her group. "You're competing against each other but you don't feel that way." The 26-year-old came close to not even auditioning for the show. After spending the night camped out in line, she got up the next morning to catch an early breakfast. While she was out of the line, the show's pro- ducers began taking in the group earlier than expected. "I came back and there was no one there. I had to talk to the security guard and convince him to let me in," she said. Sinclair hopes to continue to pur- sue singing full-time and feels her exposure on the show has been a big benefit. A former Pickering High School student, she grew up singing from the age of five and has spent most of her life performing in churches, at weddings, and most re- cently with the Toronto Mass Choir. While on stage, she chose Billy Holiday's 'God Bless the Child', 'I'll Be There' from the Jackson Five, the gospel great 'His Eyes on the Spar- row', and 'Because You Loved Me' from Celine Dion. "I want to sing so people are touched and moved," Sinclair added. Alexis was in the final batch of 10, who performed for the judges Mon- day night. The audience's judging results were to be announced Tues- day night after press time. "I don't know what to expect for this," the 23-year-old said. "If you make it into the top 10 there are dif- ferent opportunities. I think it's just a matter of going for it all you can. But to just be here is one thing." Alexis actually started her singing career in a competition. "My brother was competing in a talent show and I wanted to sing," she said. Upon hearing her voice, Alexis' grandmother convinced her mother to enter the nine-year-old in the competition. Her brother took home the senior prize for tap. She took home the junior award. Since then, Alexis has attended the Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts and Hollywood School for the Performing Arts in California. She has also played amateur night at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, NY and performed both Canadian and American anthems at the SkyDome. Ajax’s own idols AAJJAAXX ----Toya Alexis (left) and Nicole Sinclair both reached the top 30 in the Canadian Idol competition this summer and had the op- portunity to perform on national television. More than 15,000 hopefuls attended auditions at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre earlier this summer. Alexis was still in the running this week. Sinclair, who was eliminated last week, said she felt privileged to have made it so far. The big event comes to Claremont Friday and rides until Sunday CCLLAARREEMMOONNTT —— It's not often you see lions running the show at a rodeo. After a seven-year hiatus, the Claremont Lions Rodeo is returning to Claremont Fri- day, July 25 to Sunday, July 27 at Barkey's Toad Hall, on the Uxbridge-Pickering Townline, west of Brock Road. The fun gets underway with Karaoke Fri- day night at 8 p.m. Cowpokes can get an early start Saturday and Sunday with breakfast hosted by community churches from 8 to 11 a.m. The saloon opens at 11 a.m. and rodeo performances heat up starting at 2 p.m. See members of the Ontario Rodeo Associ- ation bareback riding, calf roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing, bull riding and team roping as part of the Dodge Rodeo Tour. Families will also enjoy a barbecue din- ner served Saturday night from 5 to 7 p.m. Topping off the evening is a video dance party at 8 p.m. This is the tour's only stop in Durham Region, points out Erin Johnston, one of the event's coordinators. More than 50 volunteers, 20 of them members of the Claremont District Lions Club, have been busy getting the show off the ground. "It was a very big production," says Ms. Johnston, of the last rodeo in 1996. "We raised enough funds to get a new commu- nity centre in Claremont." But difficulties with advertising and co- ordination caused the event to disband, she says. Still more than 3,000 people turned out to the dance that year. "This year, we're hoping to raise enough money to enclose the outdoor arena," Ms. Johnston adds. Tickets are available at the KFC in Bow- manville, Country Depot in Claremont, or at the gate. Admission is $12 for adults and $8 for children aged six to 12 and for se- niors. Children under the age of five are free. For more information, contact Gord Mc- Combe at 905-649-1112.

Perdita Felicien blew away the 100- metre hurdles competition at the Na- tional Track and Field Champi- onships in Victoria last weekend. And, as a result, will represent Cana- da at the upcoming 2003 IAAF Track and Field Championships in Paris, France next month. The reigning NCAA women's 100- metre hurdles champion was the odds-on favourite to take the Canadi- an crown, and she didn't disappoint. Felicien, 22, won the national gold medal in a time of 12.83 at Victoria's Centennial Stadium over Angela Whyte of Edmonton who finished sec- ond in 12.97 and Priscilla Lopes, of Whitby, who placed third in 13.17. Her time was good enough to win gold at nationals, but it was slower than her previous best of 12.68 this season, set while winning the gold medal at the NCAA outdoor champi- onships in Sacramento, California last month as a member of the Uni- versity of Illinois Fighting Illini. Felicien placed second in her heat in 12.97, finishing second behind race winner Whyte in 12.96 seconds. As the nationals served as the team selection trials for both the worlds in Paris Aug. 23 to 31 and the 2003 Pan- Am Games in Santo Domingo, Do- minican Republic, Aug. 6 to 10, Feli- cien was named to the Canadian team at both international competi- tions. While Felicien was the only local athlete to harvest gold at nationals, several other Pickering athletes also had outstanding efforts to land on the medal podium. Sprinter Anson Henry ran to a pair of medals -- silver and bronze -- at the national showcase. The Washington State University graduate placed sec- ond in the final of the 200 metres in a time of 20.97 seconds, behind gold medallist Nicolas Macrozonaris, of Laval, Quebec who won the event in 20.85. Henry finished seventh in his heat in a time of 21.40 to qualify for the final. In the 100 metres, Henry ran to a bronze medal in a time of 10.27 sec- onds. Macrozonaris won his second gold medal after posting a time of 10.13, followed in second place by Pierre Browne of Toronto in 10.16 sec- onds. Henry has been named to the Canadian team competing at the Pan-Am Games team, but still must meet the qualifying standard to be in- cluded on the Canadian team com- peting at worlds, according to a Penny Joyce, a spokesperson from Athletics Canada. Asha James of Pickering captured two bronze medals while running in the women's 100 metres and 200 me- tres. In the final of the 100 metres, the Tulane University graduate finished third in a time of 11.52 seconds behind race winner Erica Witter of Hamilton in 11.44 seconds and second-place Lopes, of Whitby. In the 200 metre final, James placed third in a time of 23.73 seconds. Witter again won gold in a time of 23.34, with Foy Williams of Missis- sauga placing second in 23.68.

The Rock won the best-of-three playoff opener 8-5 at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday. The Chiefs, however, evened the series with a 9-8 double-overtime win in Burlington Sunday. BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor DDUURRHHAAMM —— Undisciplined play cost the Ajax-Pickering Rock dearly in Game 2 of their best-of-three open- ing Ontario Lacrosse Association se- nior 'B' playoff series with the Burlington Chiefs Sunday night. After opening the series with an 8- 5 victory in Game 1 at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday night, the Rock was poised to end the se- ries in Burlington Sunday. Ajax- Pickering, however, squandered the opportunity, losing its cool, and ulti- mately the game, in a 9-8 double- overtime loss to set up a third and deciding game in the series Tuesday night at the complex. The result of the pivotal contest wasn't available at press time. The Rock led comfortably by a 6-3 margin at the end of two periods Sunday. They continued to be in con- trol with a 7-4 lead in the third, but then an otherwise solid effort came unglued in a hurry. Thanks to a rash of retaliatory penalties, the Rock coughed up the three-goal advantage, allowing the Chiefs to knot the contest at 7-7 and send it into a 10-minute overtime frame. The teams traded goals in the extra session, with the score remain- ing tied at 8-8. In the sudden-death frame that followed, another penalty was the Rock's undoing, leading to the winning goal by Mike Fishleigh -- his fourth of the contest -- to dead- lock the series. Suffice it to say, Rock head coach Paul St. John was anything but happy to see an opportunity to wrap up the series Sunday go by the board. "We were very undisciplined as a team," he says. "The bench came unglued and the refs were calling everything. I talked to the players after the game. I was really disap- pointed with the team. We've got to suck it up and take it for the team, but we didn't do that." As advertised prior to Friday's se- ries' opener, the series seemed des- tined to be a close, physical one, and that's exactly the way it has shaped up to date. "We knew Burlington wouldn't be giving anything away. But we should have won in two straight games. There's no way Burlington should be coming to us on Tuesday," he says. Sniper Nick Trudeau led the Rock with two goals. Brandon Laforme, Paul O'Grady, Jamie McKeracher, Grant Johnson, Joe Hiltz and team captain Brad Cann were the other marksmen. Ajax-Pickering was comfortable 8- 5 winners in a physical series opener Friday. The Rock led 5-3 after two periods and then poured in three more in the third to cap a solid effort on home floor. During the course of the contest, the Rock netted two shorthanded markers. Brandon Laforme led the Rock scoring with three goals. Nick Trudeau notched two goals and added an assist. Bill McLean added a pair of goals; Cann added a single marker. Other assists went to Hiltz with three, goaltender Mike Miron with two, Rob Milnes, Pat Van Hoos- er, Eddie Fines, Johnson and Cann, all with one. Miron turned in a solid effort in goal, facing 53 opposition shots, in- cluding 24 by the Chiefs in the final period. Felicien flies to national gold Rock can’t put away the Chiefs DDUURRHHAAMM ——It was a bit- tersweet experience for two local athletes repre- senting Canada at the Pan-Am Junior Track and Field Championships in Bridgetown, Barbados on the weekend. Cameron Sahadath, 18, a hurdler and sprinter from Pickering High School and Paul Martin, 19, a hurdles specialist from Pickering, were among Canada's repre- sentatives at the show- case event at the Nation- al Stadium in Bridgetown. Sahadath returned with a bronze medal as a member of Canada's 4-x- 100-metre relay team, which also included Nathan Vadeboncoeur, of Winnipeg, Hank Palmer of Dollard-Des-Ormeaux, Quebec, and David Ped- neault of Montreal. The Canadians crossed the line in third place in a time of 41.74 seconds. The U.S. foursome won the event in 39.29, followed by the Jamaicans in second place in 39.40. Sahadath also compet- ed in his specialty, the 100-metre hurdles, where he finished fifth in his heat in a time of 16.03 sec- onds, failing to advance to the event final. Meanwhile, Martin ad- vanced to the final after qualifying third in his heat in a time of 15.48 sec- onds. In the final, howev- er, Martin posted a DNF (did not finish). Martin injured his hamstring while running at the recent provincial high school champi- onships. He was, howev- er, healthy enough to run at the Canadian Junior Track and Field Champi- onships in Saskatoon earlier this month where he won the gold medal in the 100-metre hurdles.

Words cannot accurately describe our grief and pain; How we still love and miss you so. It is true that memories are a treasure we can keep, But alas, they are also bittersweet. For we long to be experiencing life with you yet, And adding new memories to never forget. Too deeply missed and loved to ever be forgotten by Eva (wife and mother), James (son and brother), and Sara (daughter and sister) For all who grieve: The Serenity Prayer Lord grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change; The Courage to change the things I can; And the Wisdom to know the difference. 256 Deaths 256 Deaths 258 In Memoriam 258 In Memoriam 258 In Memoriam 400 Cars For Sale 420 Vans/4-Wheel Drive 700 Home Improvements TO ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS OR SERVICE IN THIS SECTION PLEASE CALL AJAX 905-683-0707 www.magwyerspub.com Attention Sports Teams Young & Old Great Prizes!

AGES 4-17 AUGUST 11-15 Pickering girls golden at Newmarket tournament Novices beat rival Whitby in fastfall championship tilt PPIICCKK EERR II NNGG —— The Pickering Yamaha Motorsports novice girls' select fastball team turned the ta- bles on Whitby when it counted most last weekend. Playing in the Newmarket tour- nament, the Pickering girls hit and pitched their way to the gold medal, pulling off an impressive 9-7 victory over Whitby in the final. The championship game was more impressive in that Pickering was pummelled by Whitby in an earlier tournament contest. In the final, however, the under- dog Pickering novices put it all to- gether to record the victory. In round-robin action, Pickering got off to a strong start by blitzing Unionville 13-3. In Game 2, the Yamaha Motor- sports novices clobbered Missis- sauga North 13-6. In their final round-robin con- test, Pickering couldn't sustain its perfect mark, losing by an 18-1 count to Whitby. Team members are Carole-Anne Boisvert, Alexandra Caldwell, Amanda Cook, Jaqueline Devine, Jennifer Finley, Schancy Marescaux, Kristen Poirier, Stephany Stathopoulos, Jessica Whitfield, Sarah Edwards, Kristi- na Abe, Nicole Love and Katie Gagne. Paul Devine, Michel Boisvert and Steve Stathopoulos coach the team.
