DDUURRHHAAMM — A 25-year-old man under court-ordered house ar- rest was nabbed following one of two weekend police pursuits in Ajax-Pickering, police say. Durham Regional Police said officers tried stopping a car with no front licence plate Saturday when the driver sped away north on Liverpool Road. The suspect, who was chased through residential streets, abandoned the vehicle at a dead- end on Poprad Avenue and dis- appeared during a foot chase. The Canine Unit searched the area and a man was found a short time later hiding in a stor- age shed on Liverpool Road, po- lice said. According to police spokesman Dave Selby, the sus- pect is currently under house ar- rest as part of his bail on Toron- to Police charges. Levar Lewin, of Old Finch Av- enue, Scarborough, has been charged with flight from police, dangerous driving, driving under suspension and two counts of breach of recognizance, said Mr. Selby. Mr. Lewin was released on an officer-undertaking with a fu- ture court date, Mr. Selby said. Meanwhile, three suspects in a stolen Subaru eluded a police pursuit that began near Kingston and Harwood roads in Ajax about 12:30 a.m. Saturday. The car was chased through a residential neighbourhood and then westbound on Hwy. 401 be- fore the pursuit was called off by police. The car was later found abandoned in the area of Whites Road. It’s believed the suspects took off in a taxi and the investi- gation is continuing. What’s On... DDUURRHHAAMM — Caribana revellers will have extra options getting into Toronto this weekend.

Pickering teen faces charges BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — A local teenag- er faces charges including ag- gravated assault after three people were sprayed with a corrosive substance, causing serious burns. The attack, which occurred in front of a west-end resi- dence early Friday, was ap- parent retaliation for a previ- ous assault, Durham Region- al Police said. Detective Sergeant Peter Naumienko said the three male victims, ages 16, 19 and 22, were standing outside a Forestview Drive address they were visiting when they were sprayed with an un- known chemical at 1:30 a.m. “The suspect appeared from the side of the house carrying a hand spray pump. There was a bit of a verbal al- tercation and the victims were sprayed,” he said, adding they suffered various burns to the face, upper body and hands. “They could feel their skin burning,” said the detective- sergeant, who added the sub- stance burned holes in the clothing worn by the victims. The trio, all from Toronto, jumped into a car and drove themselves to Scarborough Centenary Hospital, where they were treated and re- leased. The 22-year-old who was sprayed in the face and eyes suffered the worst burns. “Some were serious and some were minor. Whatever (the substance) was it was a pretty strong corrosive chemical. They’ll probably require some further treat- ment,” said Det. Sgt. Nau- mienko. He didn’t know if any of the victims would need skin graft operations. Trio attacked with chemicals Nothing surprises this veteran BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — In his 13 years on the job as a Durham Re- gional Police officer, Consta- ble Keith Richards often thinks he’s seen it all. Then along comes a mo- torist who will remind him that while he’s seen a lot, he hasn’t seen it all. Not by a long shot. There’s the motorist hum- ming along, holding a cell phone in one hand, shifting gears with his other hand, while steering his car with his left leg. Or, there was the fellow who was travelling along at just over 100 kilometres an hour in an 80-km zone while engaged in a sex act. In this case, the man’s girlfriend was sitting in his lap. To ensure the young man didn’t forget this ride to remember, Const. Richards charged him with careless driving. Spend some time driving around with the constable and you’ll hear the adjective “stunning” as he describes the habits and actions of people once they get behind the wheel. On this day, Wednesday, July 23, Const. Richards, the traffic co-ordinator for the Clarington detachment, pa- trols through Bowmanville, Orono and Courtice. The populace of these fine burgs give the constable amble op- portunity to ply his trade. Between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., Const. Richards pulled over six vehicles, stops three youths for not wearing hel- mets while riding a bicycle, did some traffic enforce- ment, both with radar and laser, and generally tried to apply the traffic laws. During one period of less than 15 minutes, most of it taken up with writing a tick- et, the constable pulled over one motorist who was caught speeding for the second time in 22 days, another who could have been fined for three different infractions and a third who didn’t have a valid insurance certificate. These days, he motors around in a ‘stealth’ cruiser. It has all the markings of a police car, except the word- ing on the sides is in an off- white colour, on a white car. A problem in the past was having traffic officers driving around in unmarked cars. It left the impression the police weren’t doing anything to stop speeding and other vio- lations. The stealth cruiser is “half- way in between” an un- marked car and a fully- marked vehicle, he says. As traffic co-ordinator, the constable goes over each complaint filed with the de- tachment.

Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo ✦See Keeping page 2 KKIINNSSAALLEE - The fight over an auto wrecking yard in Kinsale has been put on hold until September. A three-day Ontario Mu- nicipal Board (OMB) hearing was to take place July 23 to 25 at Pickering council cham- bers. But Wednesday, the hearing was postponed until Sept. 15 to allow proponents more preparation time. No. 7 Auto Recyclers is appealing to the OMB to overturn a Pickering council decision Jan. 13 rejecting its 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. Pickering’s planners rec- ommended rezoning the property, arguing it would give the City more control. But councillors said there were too many concerns from residents to let it go forward.

The one thing he hears all the time is “everybody wants radar,” he notes. In a town, speeding isn’t usually a problem because of the congestion. “Usually, it’s a kid letting his tires go to show off to his friends.” So he’s “looking for people speed- ing coming into town.” He’s also on the prowl for tinted windows and “validation stickers. I do it when I’m off-duty now. It’s an awful habit, but I can’t stop now,” he says laughing. He’s spent his entire 13 years in Clarington and “I know this town like the back of my hand.” Heading east on Hwy. 2, ahead, are two boys, one driving a John Deere lawnmower, while his younger broth- er sits in a trailer being pulled. He stops them to say the younger one can’t ride in the trailer. “What if someone hits it or the trailer disconnects,” the constable says. “He’s going to have to walk home.” Const. Richards will call their fa- ther and let him know. “I’m sure he’s a safe operator. Dad wouldn’t give him the tractor if he wasn’t,” Const. Richards says. “The dad is giving the motorists of Ontario too much credit.” Also, the two were crossing Hwy. 2, “the busiest road in Ontario outside of the 401.” A trip around the block finds the brothers heading home, with the younger one running beside the trac- tor. While driving, he uses the Python, a radar device that can track the speed of vehicles as they approach his cruiser. It can also be used to track motorists coming from behind. The Python can track speeds up to a half-kilometre away. The other advantage of the Python is it allows the user to be mobile and not sitting in one place. “I don’t like to be sitting in one spot. It’s not al- ways easy to catch speeders. Speed- ers know they’re speeding and they’re looking for you.” It’s over the Edward Street and “the exact word I get is race track,” he says, noting motorists use it to get to Mill Street and then to the 401. It’s 11 a.m. and there isn’t any traffic on the street. In fact, Clarington did a study and found the average speed on Edward was 38 km, he says. The posted speed limit is 40 km. “The hard part is I have to call back and say I can’t do anything about it,” he states. “The majority of (traffic) deaths in Clarington are on regional roads, but the majority of complaints are on local roads. It presents us with a chal- lenge of how to serve.” Message boards used by communi- ty volunteers are effective with the in- volvement of police, he notes. “If they just have the board up, it’s not as effective. But, with a message from police, I find that to be great,” he says. “Mom and Dad will let the kid use the car. We send a letter to the parents and they’re grateful to find out how the car is being used. Em- ployers are grateful on how employ- ees are using the company vehicle. “It almost allows us to be in con- tact with two people, the owner and the driver.” Travelling on Taunton Road, the speed limit is 80 km, but the Python clocks a mini-van humming along at 100 km. Const. Richards turns around and heads after the man. When he approaches the window, the man says, ‘I didn’t even see ya’. He’s heading to an appointment, but Const. Richards says, “He was doing 401 speeds on a regional road. “It’s his lucky day. I give him a ver- bal caution” rather than a ticket. “He’ll slow down for the rest of the day.” For the constable, there’s the bal- ance between whether to write a tick- et or give a warning. Given that a ticket takes 10 to 15 minutes to write, in that same time he could stop five other motorists and give them a warning. “Quite often, being stopped is enough to jar people,” he says. “I don’t feel every single person needs a ticket. They’ll feel the impact of being stopped by an officer.” There’s always the belligerent per- son who will, after being stopped, say, “Don’t you have anything more im- portant to do? Why don’t you go get some criminals?” Or the always popular, “‘Is the line- up too long at Tim Horton’s?’ I must say, these comments go a long way to winning us over,” he jokes. “It’s stun- ning when people talk back to us. “I have no problem with people who challenge the ticket. That does- n’t bother me. It’s being belligerent,” he adds. Const. Richards points out, “More people are dying on our roads than are being shot.” And no, he doesn’t have a quota he has to meet. “Some one will say, ‘this will help you make your quota.’ I don’t have a quota. I have a level of performance I must meet, but I don’t have a number I have to meet. Hwy. 2 and Regional Road 57 has the highest collision rate in Claring- ton. To combat that, the police try to slow motorists as they approach the intersection. Const. Richards sets up at the Kelsey’s Restaurant, to the west of the intersection. Here, he’ll use the Ultra Lyte LR B laser, which he’ll aim at a vehicle and get an accu- rate speed. “We want them to slow down, so mom and pop can navigate the left- hand turn,” he says. The stretch has a speed limit of 60 km, but that, of course, isn’t always followed. If fact, one of the first vehi- cles he monitors is a school bus, with children aboard, doing 71 km. Within one minute, he’ll pull over a motorist doing 82 km. “That didn’t take long.” A woman is driving and there’s a child in the car. Const. Richards asks why she was speeding and shows her the speed the laser registered. The woman, it turns out, got a speeding ticket on July 1, so for the second time in less than a month, she’s been pulled over. “You’ve gotten one recently. If I give you another, will that make you slowdown,” he asks. Using “my discretion” he doesn’t give her a ticket, but again tells her to let off the accelerator. Back to the bus shelter and the third car to come along, this time in less than a minute, registers 91 km. The advantage with the laser is he can focus on every vehicle coming along, but with radar, it only gets one vehicle at a time. Also, the laser tells the operator how far away a vehicle is when it’s measured, something radar doesn’t do. “The laser is my weapon of choice, if you will, in high volume areas,” he notes. “How you doing? Not good now, eh,” he says to the motorist. When he gets the man’s licence, registration and insurance, it turns out the man’s insurance document has expired. Back in his cruiser, he calls in to dispatch to check the man’s licence and registration. “People always say ‘you kept me there for half-an-hour’. We have to send the information into the dis- patch and it takes time.” But motorists aren’t too interested in the reason. “They don’t want to hear it from me,” the constable states. “He’s got a good licence and he’s clean and the licence indicates he hasn’t had a ticket in a couple of years,” Const. Richards says of the man who was doing 91 km. “I’ll use my discretion and drop it a bit, but he’ll still lose points. He’s going too fast for that,” Const. Richards says. “His concern will not be the fine. It will be the points.” In this case, he drops the speed to 80 km and fines him $100 and the man loses three points. The man doesn’t have a valid in- surance certificate and the fine for that is $70. That’s not all. The man’s shoulder harness portion of the seatbelt is on, but the lap strap isn’t. All told, the man could have lost six points and faced fines of $280 for the speeding and seatbelt, plus $70 for the insurance. “It’s a pretty expensive trip to Canadian Tire,” Const. Richards says to the man. “My hope is to get you to s-l-o-w-d-o-w-n. I hope it will be years, if ever, before you’re stopped again.” Motorists have complained Const. Richards is entrapping them by standing at the bus shelter and using the laser. He counters, “I’m not doing anything to encourage people to break the law. I’m just standing in the bus shelter, getting out of the sun.” In a matter of seconds, he’s got an- other speeder. This time a woman is doing 83 km. “It’s why we spend so much time here. It’s unbelievable.” She’s been living nearby for eight years, so she should know it’s a post- ed 60 km zone, he tells her. “Usually, I don’t do this. I just caught you on a bad day,” he says. She also doesn’t have a valid insur- ance certificate, as the latest one she can produce is from 2000. “You know what they say, when it rains in pours,” he tells her. The woman says she’s never had a ticket before and Const. Richards gives her a verbal warning. “Do me a favour and yourself a favour and slowdown.” The constable says he could stand outside the restaurant “picking off” motorists. “I can’t describe it any other way. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.” Now he’s off driving and along come two 14-year-olds riding bicycles without helmets. One says none of his helmets fit, while the other forgot his at home. He gives the two an option, a $70 fine or attending a Heads First, Safe- ty First workshop. Both opt for the free workshop. “See how fair I am. I let you choose.” The constable also warns them to attend. “Make sure you head to a ses- sion or I’ll show up at your door.” He also will be calling the boys’ parents to let them know what hap- pened. “If you don’t have a helmet, tell your parents I said you have to have one. The law says you have to have one,” he tells them. Homeowners in the Sandringham and Avondale Drives area have com- plained about motorists rolling through stop signs. Const. Richards will point out that most of those going through the intersection live nearby. In less than 10 minutes of watching the intersection, he pulls over two motorists, both who live in the area, for rolling through the stop sign. He could have pulled over a van, in which the driver barely stopped, but was also talking on a cell phone. Six vehicles go through the inter- section while he’s there and he could have pulled over three of them. “What I tell people is if they can’t do it during a driver’s test, they can’t do it after,” he says. On the way back to the station, heading east on Hwy. 2, he spots a westbound car with a burned out headlight. He turns around and chas- es the car. He also spots another minivan with a tinted licence cover. The constable opts to get the car with one headlight, as that’s more of a safety hazard. (It’s illegal to have tinted covers over a licence plate, al- though it’s not illegal to sell them.) After this call, it’s back to the sta- tion when he comes across the third child biking without a helmet. Like the other two, the 12-year-old opts for the free workshop over the ticket. And, the constable will be calling the boy’s parents. There are no major happenings on this day, just routine traffic enforcement. But, it’s those in- cidents the public wants dealt with on a daily basis. “My priority is to make the roads safe,” he says.

Barkey’s Toad Hall in Claremont, host to the Lions Club Rodeo this past weekend, brought out hun- dreds of spectators and one rodeo racer more used to teasing hair than teasing bulls. That hairdresser, Rachel Hen- nings of Stouffville, is from what she likes to call a “second-genera- tion rodeo family.” Her father, a top executive of a local company, has for years been roping steers and brought her into the sport when she was barely a teenager. Ms. Hennings now competes as a breakaway roper, which is the fe- male version of calf-roping. The biggest misconception peo- ple have of rodeos says Ms. Hen- nings “is that we are all yahoos.” “People think that we are wild, crazy, fighting, beer-drinking cow- boys,” she said. “But that is simply not true.” Ms. Hennings points out many of the cowboys and cowgirls are doctors, lawyers, nurses, CEO’s and veterinarians. “Every walk of life does this,” said Ms. Hennings. “I love seeing new people coming in and enjoying the sport.” Rodeos have been garnering so much attention lately many young teenage girls, dubbed ‘Bucko Bun- nies,’ who have been flocking to the sport and are often seen hanging around the stables and horse rings in hopes of catching the eye of their favourite cowboy. “People have come from all over,” said Tikki Cronin a rodeo worker. “We get some people up from the States and all over Eastern and Western Ontario.” Ms. Cronin re- ceived a phone call from a Brazilian soccer team in London, Ont., for a competition and wanted to see first hand a “real rodeo.” A real rodeo has seven standard events, which include: bull riding, calf roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronco riding, bareback horse rid- ing, team roping and barrel racing. Most rodeos often have events for the younger generations with ju- nior steer riding, junior barrel rac- ing and breakaway roping. Competitors often compete for prize money, which is based on the number of entries. But many orga- nizers of the rodeos have been re- ceiving corporate sponsorship and funding because of the increased popularity of the event, which ulti- mately increases the pot for riders to win. And unlike many other outdoor sports, rodeos will go on in rain, shine or snow. Often rodeos will have special competitions in the winter as well as the summer. Eleven-year-old Kevin Hennings from Stouffville, Rachel Hennings’s son is in training to be a cowboy and hopes one day to be the best in the province. Ms. Hennings says that rodeos are, “good for self-confidence.” “It is good for the kids so they can keep their mind on the respon- sibility of another animal and themselves,” she said. Although Ms. Hennings says she is still fighting the stereotypes about rodeos and cowgirls she says the general consensus is one of cu- riosity and because of that more people are becoming aware of the sport. “Everyone thinks that rodeos are only out in the west and associate it with bull riding. But I used to live in Toronto and competed in rodeos,” said Ms. Hennings. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 30, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P DURHAM'S FINEST AUTOMOTIVE DETAILING BROKEN WINDSHIELD?

Family caregiver education presented Aug. 21 DDUURRHHAAMM — New caregivers of peo- ple with dementia can learn more about Alzheimer disease and relat- ed dementia at a workshop coming up in August. The ‘Family Caregiver Education Workshop’ takes place on Thursday, Aug. 21 from 9:30 until noon and will offer caregivers practical tools they can use. Help in dealing with common is- sues in dementia care-giving such as communication losses and cop- ing strategies will be offered. The workshops will be held at the society’s office in the Oshawa Cen- tre’s executive centre, 419 King St. W., Suite 207. Registration is required and there is a $5 materials fee. Each participant will receive a re- source package with valuable infor- mation for caregivers. To register for the workshop, con- tact the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region at 905-576-2567 or 1- 888-301-1106. Caregiver workshop to offer assistance A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Health-care workers get to see the Rolling Stones BByy CCaarrllyy FFoosstteerr Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Some of the SARS Stars will be among thousands of health care workers converging on Downsview Park for the massive Molson Canadian Rocks Toronto concert today. The Stars - Lakeridge Health hospital workers affected by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - along with around 40 staff from Rouge Valley Ajax Pickering, will be among 2,790 health-care workers in Ontario who are going to the con- cert for free courtesy of the province. Around 100 tickets were distrib- uted among Lakeridge’s sites in Os- hawa, Whitby, Bowmanville, Uxbridge and Port Perry. “Everyone at Lakeridge is exited,” said Lindsay Gillard, 22, who works in corporate communications and was quarantined during the out- break. “We’re happy the Stones are coming to town and also to have the opportunity from the Ministry (of Health and Long-Term Care) to go.” While Lakeridge employees had time to plan, Ajax-Pickering staff didn’t know until yesterday if they were going, said Katie Cronin- Wood, the director of communica- tions for the Rouge Valley Health System. Any interested staff entered their name, then a random draw was held at lunch yesterday. After the results were emailed to winners, a steady stream of happy and frantic employees streamed into Ms. Cronin-Wood’s office. “They’re feeling very special,” Ms. Cronin-Wood said. “A lot of them have friends who are going, and they’re excited to be able to go with them.” The Lakeridge Stars will be clad in their special T-shirts at the con- cert, picturing an N-95 mask, said Ms. Gillard. In preparation of what she felt would be a “24-hour day,” she drank lots of water yesterday. A chartered bus was to pick up the entourage in Bowmanville early this morning, then be shuttled right into Downsview Park at Sheppard Avenue West between Keele Street and Allen Road where around 500,000 are expected to gather. It was scheduled to pick Lak- eridge employees up at 2:30 a.m. for the trip home. Health care workers will be seat- ed in a special area at the concert, P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 30, 2003 www.durhamregion.com ONE HALF BONUS OFFER!

At least that’s what his dad told him when he was a small boy. Back then, the Ajax resident didn’t know what the word meant. But he’s getting a crash course this summer. Before entering his final year at J. Clarke Richardson Colle- giate this fall, Mr. Yakub is running his own graphic design and printing business, Blue Print International. Mr. Yakub is among eight Durham youths who are working for themselves this sum- mer. The students from Ajax, Whitby, Prince Albert and Orono were selected to take part in Summer Company. The ministry of en- terprise, opportunity and innovation pro- gram is for 15-29 year olds who are returning to school full time in the fall and teaches them the ins and outs of being in business for themselves. Navada Sargent, business information officer and youth coordinator at Business Advisory Centre Durham (BACD), says 25 local students applied for the program, compared to 10 last year. Each must first enter a business plan competi- tion, after which the list of applicants is nar- rowed down and the remaining candidates are interviewed before the final selection. “Hopefully they get to experience entre- preneurship and they get to experience all the aspects of running a business,” she says. “We hope it influences them to consider en- trepreneurship as a viable career option in the future.” The chosen youths receive up to $3,000, half to start their business and half when they return to school, and about 12 hours of business training. As well, Ms. Sergeant says each participant is assigned a mentor, a Durham Region professional they can call upon if they need help. The pair is supposed to meet at least four times over the summer. Russell Hawley, a 17-year-old Orono resi- dent set up his own business, Insightful In- struction, and is teaching guitar. He’s among eight Durham youths who are work- ing for themselves this summer. Mr. Hawley says he read about Summer Company in Clarington This Week. A guitar player for seven years, the Clarke High School student is in a local band called ‘Tor- sion,’ playing Aug. 1 at the Orono band shell. “It was a great opportunity to get some- thing started,” said Mr. Hawley of the pro- gram. “I’ve got lots of time between now and college.” Teaching guitar was “pretty much the first thing I considered” for his summer job. He advertised by putting up posters in Orono, Newcastle and Bowmanville and so far has six clients, generally his age or a bit younger. Mr. Hawley teaches in the base- ment of his home. With his start up money he bought music editing equipment that al- lows him to lay down a track so it can be re- played and a student can play along during a lesson. His business had a bit of a late start. “The very day I got a call from Navada Sargent, I broke two of my fingers,” he re- calls. Back on track, he’s hoping that some of the many people who’ve taken his phone number off his posters give him a call. Mr. Hawley says the business advice he received came in handy, and some of it was down- right essential. After a co-op year at high school, Mr. Hawley hoping music is an important part of his future. “I’m hoping to be doing maybe commer- cial music production, something definitely in the area of music,” he says. Mr. Yakub learned about Summer Com- pany at an entrepreneurship conference in Oshawa for Grade 11 students, put on by BACD. The idea of starting a graphic design business was already in the back of his head, because he enjoys and is good at graphic design. He had created some designs for a com- puter animation class assignment, left them at a friend’s house, where they caught the eye of a relative. Mufti Abdul Majid Khan asked if he could design some business cards, and he offered to do them for free. “He said, ‘No No, tell me how much it’s going to be; it’s a business,” Mr. Yakuba re- calls. That’s when it clicked that he could do it. A few days later he heard about the pro- gram, applied and was accepted. So far, so good. He has had clients who needed busi- ness cards, a flyer, evaluation forms, labels and even animation to accompany a slide show presentation. Mr. Yakub put together a promotional package to display some of his work for potential clients, but says run- ning your own business is no walk in the park. “It’s not as easy as it sounds, without a doubt,” he says. “There’s a lot of work in- volved. But I would say it’s a good experi- ence.” Ms. Sargent says three of last year’s par- ticipants are continuing with their business while still in school.

As you read them, it will be upon us. Let me be clear at the outset of this piece that I am not cur- rently a big Rolling Stones fan. I didn't even really care for them when they still vaguely resem- bled human beings. I am even less of a fan of paying through the nose for a ticket and taking out a second mortgage on my house for parking so I can then walk for two hours to stand in the middle of 800 acres of sun- scorched scrub grass and bub- bling hot tarmac, shoulder to sweat-soaked shoulder with 450,000 screaming, two-legged rock lemmings. Suffice it to say, I would rather stick pins through my eyes than be within a 50-mile ra- dius of the place on July 30. (Which coincidentally is roughly where you'll find the first avail- able parking spots for the event.) I don't think the promoters and organizers are really getting it. So far they've been basing most of their contingency plans for this thing on the set-up for last year's very successful (un- less you own an Idomo store) 'World Youth Day'. You may re- member the fiasco involving tons of human porta-potty waste, that turned the day into more of a 'Poop Visit' than 'Pope Visit' for one bearded Scandina- vian retailer. The numbers of bodies attending both events are about the same but that's where the parallel comes to an abrupt and very ugly halt. Has it occurred to no one that these are not bright-eyed, fresh- ly scrubbed 'Peace Pilgrims' but hard-core Stones, AC/DC and Rush devotees? I don't know how much dope, booze and beer those pilgrims put away, but I'll bet you it's nothing compared to what real rock 'n rollers can con- sume. And yes, I've heard how stringent security is going to be, but you and I both know that when it comes to sneaking in contraband, rock fans are more inventive than the French un- derground. Personally, I'm call- ing my broker and telling him to sell everything and buy as much Doritos stock as he can get his hands on between now and July 30. I also seriously doubt there were more than a handful of frantic female 'Pope' groupies tearing their tops off when the Pontiff arrived on stage. But you watch what happens when Mick starts strutting and pouting. Not to mention when AC/DC gets it cranked up. That's going to be the mother of all mosh pits, my friend, and unless you're into group prostate exams, I wouldn't go anywhere near it. I suppose this mon- strosity's heart is in the right place. All of the profits are, os- tensibly, going to fight SARS and to help out Toronto's prob- lem-plagued tourist industry. But I still can't help but feel it's a nightmare waiting to happen. Then again, maybe it is just me. I am, after all, the guy who breaks into a sweat if the check- out line at Zehrs gets too long. Might do me a world of good to take my top off and flash Mick and the boys. I just don't know how long Suzanne could keep me up on her shoulders.

Just check out the sky- rocketing increase in the police budget since 1994: from a budget of $50.7 million to $100.5 million last year, $110.6 million next year and all the way to a projected $141.2 million in 2007. That means a budget that has al- ready doubled in nine years will nearly triple in 13. You would think our police would be happy with such an increase, but you would be wrong. That old saying about give them an inch, they'll take a mile holds true with the Durham police force. The latest police budget pressure revolves around that dreaded five-letter word we've all heard a lot about late- ly: 'bonus'. Whether it be the common sense to cut out eight-per-cent hikes to Oshawa City staff or the decision by the Region to say 'No' to extra SARS compensation to top health department executives, our councillors have said they'll hold the line on civil service bonus payments. Now we're faced with possible police bonuses, which will be part of upcoming contract negotiations between Durham Regional Police and the Durham Police Services Board. Seems the Toronto Police and Ontario Provincial Police have recently cut deals to pay their veteran officers bonuses to prevent them from going to other forces. Nobody in Durham begrudges our police officers being paid a fair wage. After all, catch-up pay for officers com- bined with a steady increase in the size of the force has been a hallmark of the Chief Kevin McAlpine years. Durham residents have paid a hefty price to keep our cops tops. Recall that when the 2002 'six-figure income' club was released a whopping 49 Durham Regional Po- lice officers were on the list, up from just three in 1996. But keep in mind more than salary attracts officers to the Durham force. The quality of life here in the region, the cost of living and the level of violent crime officers deal with compared to in Toronto are all factors beyond simply remaining in lockstep with megacity salaries. When it comes to local salaries, at some point, some- thing has to give. While the police budget increase amounts to half the jump in our regional taxes each year, other serious regional expenditures get put off or down- graded. Compare the police budget to our regional roads budget. Both are critical to our way of life. But while the police get an automatic $10 to $11 million more per year, roads expenditures barely rise. A dent of three per cent per year is about all the budget will allow for road pro- jects which, according to Regional works chairman Rick Johnson, are about $60 million behind in repairs. At this rate we'll soon have bottlenecked, potholed roads that our high-paid officers won't be able to patrol. Our police services board must take a long, hard look at Durham policing conditions, cost-of-living and quality of life issues that attract officers here before signing a blank cheque with taxpayers' money. At some point, enough is enough. 89 Church St. S. Pickering Village This Pickering Village house was built around 1877, however the name of the builder and architect of this property are unknown. This house is the best pre- served frame house of Gothic Revival design in Ajax. In 1968 the house was bought by Allen and Dorothy Miller. The registry records show that the home was once owned by Dorothy’s grandfather, John Boyce. The house still remains in the Miller family. It’s only rock and roll Focus on Seaton, and do it right TToo tthhee EEddiittoorr:: One wonders whether David Steele (letter - "Protect Duffin East Side", 23 July 2003) would speak so eloquently and enthu- siastically about the lands east of the West Duffins Creek had those lands been purchased by developers rather than those on the west side in the Agricultural Preserve. It is more than likely that the environmental issues relating to the eastern lands raised by Mr. Steele, with which I happen to agree, would be as severely downgraded as is the quality and viability of the farm- land of the western lands now being diminished by those who wish to develop them. Self-inter- est, as enunciated by Pickering's Growth Management Study (GMS), which is funded by those same developers who own most of the western land, is clearly dictating where the pres- sures for development will be most forcibly advanced. Since all the provincial politi- cal parties have stated that the Agricultural Preserve will not be developed, the current Growth Management Study must be seen as a waste of time and money. It is also catastrophical- ly flawed by it being conducted by only one level of government and being funded by developers. I believe that it is essential for all the levels of government to re-establish cooperative work- ing arrangements and focus im- mediately on the problems of the Seaton lands to the east of the West Duffins Creek. With land swaps imminent, and with all the serious environmental is- sues at stake, responsible use and development of the Seaton lands are now the most vital is- sues. These lands provide a wonderful opportunity to show how things really should be done, in shining contrast to many of our neighbouring mu- nicipalities to the west. Leave the agricultural Preserve alone and get on with the important business. Will Pickering be able to show itself equal to this chal- lenge ? JJiimm TThhoommppssoonn,, WWhhiitteevvaallee,, OOnnttaarriioo Former PACT chairman disagrees with colleague TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: It saddens me to read letters written by David Steele as chair- man of Pickering Ajax Citizens Together (PACT) for the Envi- ronment claiming to have voted to protect provincially-owned land on the east side of the Duffins Creek and offering up Class I farmland for develop- ment as an alternative. His ar- gument that some of the lands on the east side are more envi- ronmentally sensitive than land in the agricultural preserve is valid. However, sacrificing Class I agricultural land in the west will not prevent development on lands designated for develop- ment in the east. Mr. Steele's support of devel- opment in the agricultural pre- serve will have the unintended effect of endorsing development in the entire study area. A better approach would have been to support the continued protec- tion of the agricultural preserve and endorse strict rules for the development of the Seaton Lands with the goal of preserv- ing all of the environmentally sensitive land within it. This could be accomplished by im- posing conservation easements. The fact remains that farmers in the agricultural preserve and their developer backers were fully aware of the restrictions registered on their lands (to re- main as agriculture in perpetu- ity) when the land was pur- chased. Convincing the provincial gov- ernment, the Region of Durham and the City of Pickering that registering easements on title was the best way to protect the farmland in the agricultural pre- serve was not an easy thing to do and required the continued determination of many organi- zations and individuals to ac- complish this feat. Everyone should ask the motive behind Mr. Steele or anyone else sup- porting the development of land that has the protection of ease- ments. We have an opportunity to create something wonderful in Seaton. A community that is sustainable, efficient, economi- cal, and affordable and least pol- luting or we can continue to cre- ate gridlock by supporting de- velopers whose only goal is to make a windfall profit by devel- oping land bought at agricultur- al prices.

The Wallace Symington School of Highland Dance in Ajax won gold in the large group choreography category. "It's the eighth year straight the studio has won the gold medal in this competition," says Alan Clark, the studio's president. Medals included gold, silver, and bronze, in ad- dition to fourth, fifth and sixth place finishes out of groups numbering up to more than 50 competitors. In addi- tion to the choreography group, pictured above, other dancers who competed from the studio included Jennifer Blackburn, Alex Richan, Leslie Conroy, Katelynn Ket- tunen, Rhea Alonzi, Lauren Fulcher, Katrina Zealand and Austin Sye. "Wallace Syming- ton fared extremely well," Mr. Clark says. Lauren Thomson Black of Pickering, who is instructed by Sherry Dalliday at Dalliday Dancers, also had a very suc- cessful four days of competi- tion. She earned the position of first runner-up and is now ranked second in Canada in the Premier 11 years and under category. This achieve- ment followed her standing in the Ontario Closed Champi- onships in June. She won the right to be one of three in her age group to represent On- tario at the Canadians. The Canadians is an annual event organized by Scotdance Canada and each year is locat- ed in a different province. On- tario was the host province this year using Brock Univer- sity as the venue. Highland Dancers from across Canada, the U.S., Scot- land and Australia gathered to compete. Highland dancing is a sport that requires the grace of an art and the ath- leticism of a sport, says Lau- ren’s dad, David Black. In part, Lauren credits her remarkable success to the in- spiration of her dancing idol, Colleen Rintamaki (many times World Champion and also a Pickering resident) and her teacher. Dalliday has guided her from her first steps, says Black. Many stu- dents from Dalliday Dancers competed in this year's Cana- dians and won awards and ho- nours, he adds. "Lauren's background is both multi-cultural and multi- racial. Mom is second genera- tion Chinese while I am a bag- pipe playing, 2nd generation Scot," says Black. "But the grace, beauty and long tradi- tions of Highland Dance tran- scend any borders. When the pipes sound and the dancers take the stage, everyone be- comes a little Scottish."

Hi-Sook Barker brings the outdoors in with 'Journey in Watercolour', an exhibit hanging at the Pickering Civic Complex from Aug. 5 to Sept. 15. A majority of the show is work Barker completed just this summer. "The new pieces are all from my garden," the Picker- ing resident explains. "There are petunias, roses, sunflow- ers...Things will be blooming outside and blooming in- doors too." This marks Barker's second showing at City hall. But she's been painting for most of her life, having picked up her first brush at the age of 11. Growing up in Korea, she first learned oriental brush painting, as is customary there, before branching out into watercolour. In her early 20s, she moved to Canada and has since been concen- trating mainly on landscapes and florals. "I think they're more suited to watercolour in my opin- ion," Barker says. She paints them year- round and is always on the lookout for new and interest- ing subjects. "An artist sees things differ- ently. We have different eyes when we look at things," she says. "I always carry a small sketch book with me so if I see something (to paint), I'll do a quick sketch." Sometimes Barker takes a photo or as in the case of flo- rals, brings the subject in right out of her garden. Pur- suing her love full-time, Bark- er gives private lessons for her home studio. She has also taught classes at Clarington Beech Centre, Oshawa Senior Citizens Centre, and Curry's Art Supply in Whitby. She is also a member of such groups as the PineRidge Arts Council, Ajax Creative Arts, Oshawa Artist Associa- tion, Toronto Watercolour Society, and Canadian Asso- ciation of Painters in Water- colour. Pickering Civic Complex is located at One The Es- planade. For more informa- tion, contact 905-420-2222.

Rare instrument display Provincial championship so close for Ajax youth DDUURRHHAAMM — An area ten- nis player qualified for the finals before bowing out of the Ontario Junior Closed Provincial Tennis Cham- pionships in Toronto last weekend. Stephen Chow, of Ajax, and doubles partner Milos Raonic, of Thornhill, qual- ified for the under-16 boys’ doubles final at the cham- pionships against Dorian Rolston, of Toronto, and Anton Smirnov, of North York. Rolston and Smirnov won out in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4. In the girls’ under-16 singles, Maia Kirk made it to the round of 16 before being knocked off by third-seeded Erika Januskova, of Nepean, 6-4, 6-2. Kirk also played in the under-16 girls’ singles, ex- iting the competition after losing to Monika Lalewicz, of Mississauga, 6-1, 6-2. In the under-18 boys’ singles action, Pickering’s Irfan Shamasdin was ousted after a 6-1, 6-0 loss to Milan Pokrajac, of Mis- sissauga. Local softball star scores four-year U.S. scholarship BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor AAJJAAXX — Three years ago, Anjelica Pappin traded in baseball for soft- ball. She’s glad she did. Pappin, 18, a catcher with the Oakville Angels midget women’s softball team, will be calling the sig- nals for Dowling College, in Oak- dale, Long Island New York next season. The Ajax woman signed on for a four-year combination athletic-aca- demic scholarship to the liberal arts college where she will play with the NCAA Division II Golden Lions of the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference (NYCAC). “I’m very excited,” says Pappin, prior to taking the field with her Oakville teammates against Guelph at the Ontario Women’s Softball Association Tier 1 midget women’s championships in Whitby Friday evening. “I went down (to New York) in April to see them play two games and they won both of them. The girls were really nice and I was comfortable right away.” Equally as exciting for Pappin is the fact she’s being counted upon to contribute offensively and especial- ly defensively right away for the Golden Lions as Dowling College lost both of its catchers to gradua- tion this year. “There’s a 90-per cent chance I’ll be walking into the role of starting catcher,” says Pappin, acknowledg- ing that a strong summer campaign with Oakville and a solid fall train- ing camp at Dowling in the fall will further eliminate that 10-per cent chance she won’t be the starting catcher. Playing as a dual softball-base- ball player through most of her teenage years, toiling mainly with the Ajax Spartans and, in her last season, with the Toronto Lizzies ju- nior women’s rep baseball team, Pappin made the decision to con- vert exclusively to softball three years ago. She made stops in Port Perry and Whitby for two seasons before join- ing Oakville this summer. Pappin notes she had gone as far as she could in baseball, playing with the women’s Team Canada squad where she was a pitcher as well as a catcher. Most importantly, though, was the fact there were no scholarship opportunities in baseball for women players. She’s completely at ease with her decision. “I enjoy softball more. It is a lot higher paced than baseball and, as a catcher, there’s a lot more action; it keeps you interested and it keeps you awake,” says Pappin, who car- ries a .360 batting average with Oakville. “Our softball league is a lot stronger. You play a wide variety of competition.” The Oakville Angels midget squad has been a good fit for Pap- pin. The club plays in the Ontario Premier Softball League against some of the best teams in the province, including Brampton, two teams from Markham, Chingua- cousy and Mississauga. Prior to the start of the softball season, the Oakville club was with- out a catcher. The Angels’ prayer, however, were answered with the arrival of Pap- pin, says Oakville coach Mark John- son. “We would have been in big trou- ble without her,” says Johnson. “She came on board via an Internet posting.” Johnson says Pappin has been extremely coachable and calls a solid game from behind the plate, mostly unaided by the coaching staff. “Even though Anjelica has a scholarship, she’s still coachable and receptive to everything we teach her and she’s going to be bet- ter and better because of it,” says Johnson. “She calls the games her- self. I can count on one hand the number of pitches I’ve called for her. At this level, most coaches call all the pitches, but she calls virtual- ly all of them, which is a strong at- tribute to have.” Pappin is one of two players on the Oakville squad who’ll be headed stateside on a scholarship. Pitcher Jade Reid will attend Georgian Court College of New Jersey next year. She’ll start her college career with the Golden Lions in Septem- ber with pitcher-and-catcher prac- tices, which will continue until Feb- ruary when team practices begin. Those sessions will continue three times a week until the weath- er allows for outside practices. The conference softball season starts in March and continues until May. While at Dowling College, Pappin will major in either communication arts or a combined English/history degree program. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 30, 2003 PAGE 9 A/P FLORSHEIM GOLF SHOES Leather Waterproof Reg. to $239 $69.99 Sizes 8 to 14 YOUR CHOICE MEN’S OR LADIES’ ASSORTED WEDGES, 1 OR 2 IRONS OR SINGLE IRONS $14.99 100’s of Assorted PUTTERS Reg. to $69 $14.99 $2.99 SPECIALS SOFT SPIKES 3 PACK HEADCOVERS IZZO STRAPS SHOE BAGS W/ WATERBOTTLE Limit 100 RAM Graphite Iron Sets Men’s RH or LH Ladies LH Reg-Stiff or Sr. Flex $139.99 DESCENTE PANTS Reg. to $250 $49.99 Buy 2 Get A Free Belt ($70 Value) TITANIUM GOLF BALLS 18 Pack $14.99 with NHL stand Bag and 3 clubs $49.99 LADIES’ NIKE GOLF SHOES All Sizes Reg. $149 $59.99 HEAD MAGNESIUM TENNIS RACQUETS Reg. $99.99 $29.99 NAME BRAND DRIVERS TAYLOR MADE 580 $439.99 NIKE 350 CC $199.99 DELUXE ORGANIZER CART BAG O R CARRY BAG WITH STAND $49.99 ORLIMAR DRIVER BLOWOUT RH & LH Graphite Shafts Values to $199 $59.99 LADIES’ GOLF BAGS W/HEADCOVERS $34.99 RAIN PANTS $4.99 GOLF LIQUIDATORS Manufacturers Clearance Centre Lease Expiring Sale - Month of JULY Wednesday - Thursday - Friday 10 am - 8 pm Daily Saturdays 10 am to 5 pm GYM BAGS Golf Liquidators Clearance Centre Golf Liquidators Clearance Centre 908 Simcoe St. N. 908 Simcoe St. N.

Maia, 14, put up a gritty performance in the under-16 girls’ singles final at the tournament. Down a set and trailing 2-0 in the second, Kirk battled back with a powerful barrage of shots that led to a 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 win over finalist Alexandra Blyakher of Richmond Hill. It marked the first time in Kirk’s young career that she won a tournament playing “up” an age group in the under-16 category.

Pickering in the swim of it Panthers claw their way up PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——The Pickering Pan- thers girls' under-12 rep soccer team de-clawed the West Quinte Wolver- ines to win the Darlington Rep Soc- cer Tournament recently. The Panthers accomplished the championship feat in convincing fashion, winning all four of their tournament games without surren- dering a single goal against. They dominated play in the championship game against West Quinte (2-0-1 round-robin record) en route to a 2-0 victory over the Wolverines. Karin Toomsalu opened the scoring in the first half off a corner kick from Kathryn Rumboldt. Shortly after, Shona Dunkley scored an insurance marker, again off a corner kick by Rumboldt and a header from Lind- say Taylor. Lauren Giles was select- ed as the most valuable player of the final by the West Quinte coaches. The Panthers opened with a 1-0 win over the host Darlington Dy- namos. Dunkley scored the lone goal, assisted by Giles. Darlington challenged with a penalty kick that went high over the net in the closing minutes. In Game 2, the Panthers prevailed over the St. Catharines Kix 2-0. Rumboldt and Kelly Downing, who converted a corner kick with a beautiful header into the net, scored for Pickering. The Pickering under-12s finished round-robin play with an unblem- ished record after downing the Pe- terborough Stingers 5-0. Rumboldt opened the scoring off a corner kick followed by two from Kelly Craig -- the first on a direct kick and the sec- ond off a nice crossing pass from Kelly Downing. Giles then scored two goals, one off a pass from Stacey Damiani and the other on a pass from Craig. Other team members are Amanda Boyle, Megan Cassells, Gillian Clayton, Karlie Doucette, Na- talie Guest, Rebecca Mendes, Kelsey Smith and Marissa Smith. Harry Craig coaches the team, assisted by Hans Toomsalu. The manager is Diane Doucette. Nancy Mendes and Eva Toomsalu are the trainers.
