Felicien blazed a trail to glory at the 2003 IAAF World Track and Field Championships in Paris, France, capturing the gold medal in Wednesday’s final of the women’s 100-metre hurdles. She crossed the finish line in a blis- tering 12.53 seconds, ahead of sil- ver medallist Brigitte Foster of Jamaica in 12.57 seconds and American Miesha McKelvy, the bronze medallist, in 12.67. The gold medal is the first for Canada since the country’s 4-x- 100-metre men’s relay team won gold in 1997. It’s also the first ever medal for a Canadian woman in the history of the world champi- onships that date back to 1983. In the semifinal meet, Felicien moved on to the world final after winning her heat in 12.68 sec- onds, beating U.S. hurdling leg- end Gail Devers in the process. Felicien’s time in the finals also brought down the previous Canadian record in the 100- metre hurdles. Katie Anderson set the previous record of 12.61 in 1999.

DDUURRHHAAMM — It’s a milestone year for the Mayor’s Charity Classic Golf Tournament, says Allan Arsenault. “We have raised $825,000 in the first seven years of the tournament,” says the event chairman, adding the event is expected to top the $1-million fund-raising mark this year. The classic raises money for Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering Hospital, and in recent years the focus has been on improvements to the emergency department. Mr. Arsenault notes that upgrades to the department ben- efit the entire community, and evidence of the classic’s contribution can now be seen at the hospital with new cardiac monitors in- stalled in recent days. The general public is invited to participate in the tournament, but if you’re not already signed up, you’ll have to wait until next year. Mr. Arsenault says the classic sells out very quickly, and this year is no exception. “It’s been an extremely successful event for the community and for the hospital,” he says. The Pickering Town Centre is the classic’s lead sponsor, and the News Advertiser is also a sponsor.

Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Please recycle Keeping an eye on the news News Advertiser ..Read by more people in your Metroland Durham Region Media Group Air travel outside Canada is back on BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — The public school board, Monday, lift- ed a blanket ban on stu- dent trips outside of Cana- da involving air travel. The Durham District School Board ban was put in place earlier this year when the United States in- vaded Iraq. Apart from the obvious concern for stu- dents’ safety, the board was worried that a terrorist attack could ground f lights, leaving students and staff stranded in a for- eign country. “We considered the ban at the Aug. 20 administra- tive council (meeting) and our recommendation to the board is that for all school-organized air travel outside of Canada, that it be considered on an indi- vidual basis through re- quests made to adminis- trative council,” education director Craig Burch told trustees at the board meet- ing. “It doesn’t mean we’re throwing caution to the wind; we understand there is a new reality in the world.” However some trustees questioned if the board’s senior staff should be mak- ing the decision in isola- tion- and if trustees should not be involved in it. Oshawa Trustee Kath- leen Hopper, who opposed the spring travel ban, said some parents at the time thought it was “arbitrary.” She suggested the board base its decision on what the external affairs depart- ment in its travel advi- sories indicates about the safety of going to foreign lands, rather than on “a gut feeling.” Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee Melinda Crawford disagreed. “I do think that the ad- ministrative council does- n’t just go on gut feelings,” she said. Parents always have the option of going ahead and doing the trip if they wish, said Pickering trustee Paul Crawford. He asked if ad- ministrative council has a set of criteria on which to make the decision and if a vote is taken. Mr. Burch said there is a criteria list and the educa- tional value of the trip is at the top if it. If there is a de- bate amongst administra- tive council, a vote would be taken, he said. Mr. Burch said senior staff are aware of the federal gov- ernment Web site and do take it into account. “We’re more conserva- tive than the department of external affairs,” he said. “If there is a caution, we would not be supporting the student trip.” Oshawa Trustee Susan Shelter feels trustees should formally approve any decision in a motion regarding student travel. However board chair- man Elizabeth Roy said that would represent a change of procedure, since trustees had agreed to leave it up to staff. Trustee Shetler clarified that the trustee motion would “re- inforce what administra- tive council has decided.” Mr. Burch said if admin- istrative council’s decision “is controversial” it would come back to trustees. Durham’s public and Catholic school board banned air travel following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the United States. They were lifted in May 2002, but put in place again last spring. The ban is still in place at the Durham Catholic District School Board, said Mitch LePage, acting edu- cation director. “The trips are still off for the time being,” he said. Mr. LePage said senior staff is gauging the interna- tional situation “and will be developing a position in early September.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 29, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P Help support needy students in our community.

He was among a group of MPs who lobbied hard for a national referendum on the issue at a caucus meeting meeting last week, but the Prime Min- ister emerged from the de- bate, clearly opposed to the idea. “A r eferendum would have invited much wider debate,” explained Mr. McTeague. “It would have involved people from not only a legal perspective, but a social and theologi- cal background as well. There are a number of people who want to pipe in on this.” Constituents have been vocal in their opposition to the decision, he said. It’s garnered a stronger re- sponse from the public than rising gasoline prices, another issue of contention for the MP. “There have been emails, letters, faxes, never mind the ones who pull me over at Tim Hor- tons and say, ‘What the hell are you guys doing?’” Mr. McTeague said. “There are so many letters and emails I can’t get back to them all.” L ast week’s caucus meeting was a “respectful debate,” with neither side resorting to labels or name-calling, he said. Lib- erals are definitely divided on the issue, Mr. McTeague said, but he feels the majority support the traditional definition of marriage. “The perception out there is that society’s val- ues have changed but the reality is they haven’t,” he added, pointing to a call from the Canadian Al- liance in 1999 to reaffirm marriage as a heterosexu- al union. The motion earned the vast majority of Liberal support, Mr. McTeague said, and passed by a vote of 216 to 55. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 29, 2003 PAGE 5 A/P Sometimes, the best way to maintain your independence is to get a little help.

Beyond the message the authors of destruction intended is another one. It is a call to vigilance for everyone who values their communities and the inherent safety healthy neigh- bourhoods provide. No police force is large enough to be everywhere, all the time. Only with the help of residents can we ensure our communities remain places where we want to live. In this recent incident, the back wall of the Rosebank Road Public School, adjacent to the park, was slathered with vi- cious words of hate. But graffiti and vandalism are nothing new in Ajax either, where residents and the Town have been seriously wrangling with the issue the last two years, stem- ming in large part from the destruction of the Harwood Point Historical Garden. If you live in an urban, or even suburban area, especially one neighbouring the country's biggest metropolis, perhaps it would be naive to think you would never encounter such inci- dents. But, if these occurrences are left unchecked, they propagate until people not longer want to frequent our parks and community spaces. The assaults are against people, not walls or memorials, and the issue is no longer one of sensibil- ities but of safety. In Toronto, a 24-hour removal policy has been put in place as part of an aggressive anti-graffiti campaign. Statistics have proven that the best way to deter the artists is to silence their voice as quickly as possible. So, it is heartening to know in this case "about half a dozen" of Pickering's citizens called Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner to inform him of the in- cident, to which he responded quickly. Kudos also to the school board, which acted on the complaint within hours and had crews working Tuesday to remove the writing. The Town of Ajax, which recently introduced a hotline (619- AJAX, ext. CARE), for vandalism reporting, is also taking a proactive approach to the problem. The 24-hour line lets res- idents be part of the solution. With Pickering, Ajax, the school boards, and police taking active roles in tackling the problem, it's really up to the rest of us to step up and do our part. A no-fly zone makes a lot of sense TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: Terror plot: 19 detained over sus- picion of possible terrorist activity, News Advertiser, Aug. 24: I applaud the efforts of those as- signed the responsibility to secure the Pickering Nuclear Station from those that would try to cause damage to it and the surrounding area and resi- dents.. Excellent job and thank you! As to Mr. Cleroux and his comment on imposing a no-fly zone over these plants being "difficult to enforce and im- practical" and "How would you get to Pearson International Airport," I find both comments difficult to believe. Firstly, a no-fly zone, I would expect, would be a radius of say five kilometres, and that would be a reasonable obsta- cle to plan around, yet it would provide enough warning for the plant to react to a wandering plane, or worse, an attack. His second comment was plain ridicu- lous. I believe this message of preven- tion is reasonable in this day and age of suicidal maniacs, so I say enforce a no- f ly zone.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 29, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Aneighbour once remarked he knew he was getting old when he realized he knew more people in the cemetery than in our village. The same is true for me. Maybe that's why I usually in- clude a trek through the cemetery as part of my daily constitutional, although if anyone asks I like to say I'm just making sure I'll feel right at home when they move me in per- manently. I've always had an interest in cemeteries. It no doubt ties in with my appreciation for local history but I think it's in my genes too. I'm told my grandmother used to go to the graveyard at night on Hal- loween and flutter about in a sheet when the trick-or-treaters passed by. My dad enjoyed a tired old cemetery joke every time we drove past one. He'd say, "Do you know how many dead people there are in that cemetery?" And we'd chant, "They're all dead!" I always thought the cemetery was a great place to play hide-and- seek but the Prince Albert ceme- tery has 15 rules posted and the first one prohibits children under 12 unless accompanied by an adult. The fourth rule says wild flowers and weeds aren't allowed either but the last time I was there I noticed a few dandelions had snuck past the authorities. Occasionally the in- scriptions on headstones provide a tantalizing glimpse into a past life. Siloam cemetery has a veteran of the American Civil War. Goodwood has a man killed in an explosion in Newmarket. A cemetery in Markham has a boy whose inscrip- tion reads, 'Shot Dead.' A tiny abandoned cemetery in Uxbridge Township has a stone listing the deaths of three children within two days. My mother-in-law told me they had died of black diptheria and everyone was so afraid of catching it the father had to go out after dark and bury the children himself. The old monuments often bear a religious motif but today anything goes. I've seen golf clubs, snowmobiles, guitars, square dancers, 18-wheelers, even a re- volver blasted into the polished surface of the granite. Canada's multiculturalism has always been evident on the head- stones with nostalgic declarations of one's origins. The old ones say, native of Wales or Dumfrieshire but now, especially in the more urban areas to the south, some monu- ments announce origins in Guyana or Greece, Vietnam or Hong Kong. Most old cemeteries got their start in churchyards but the new ones seem to be business enterpris- es.

After 10 years of lobbying, it could be less than 10 weeks before Cana- da’s ITER proponents find out if they have been successful. A federal cabinet decision on whether to move forward as a party on the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is ex- pected at a Sept. 18 meeting. The in- ternational partners on the project are expected to decide on a global lo- cation for the facility in October. “We have the superior site,” says Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son. “But we need the feds’ commit- ment to bring this thing home.” The events at the caucus meeting Wednesday were a huge step in the right direction says Clarington Mayor John Mutton, who notes it should make it easier for cabinet to move ahead with funding for the project. “It was exactly what we want. Now we need the Prime Minister to listen to the representatives and commit the money,” says the mayor. Dr. Stewart has led this country’s bid, alongside federal negotiators from Natural Resources Canada, to host the international R&D facility in Clarington although Spain, France and Japan are vying for it to be located in their countries. The European Union, United States, Japan, China, Korea and the Russ- ian Federation are all partnering on the $18-billion project aimed to find a clean, mass production energy for commercial use across the globe by the middle of this century. If it joins the project and is chosen to host it, Canada’s share of costs is estimated at about $2.3 billion over 30 years starting in 2005.

Premier Ernie Eves is ex- pected to send a letter to the Prime Minister this week ask- ing for his support. The federal government pulled Canada’s original offer off the negotiation table for retooling last December. As Jim Campbell, the se- nior federal negotiator ex- plained at the time, “We de- termined the current bid had no chance of success and we either have to up the ante or withdraw the bid.” He expect- ed his government would have a final revised offer on the table by March or would withdraw all together, but to date, it has done neither. At negotiation meetings in Tokyo last month, Dr. Stew- art says the other interna- tional parties allowed Canada to sit at the table but moved forward on the assumption there was no offer from this country. “They (the international partners) are basically dis- counting us until we come for- ward with a revised offer,” says Dr. Stewart. “The other parties are not waiting for us,” as they get closer to a de- cision on where to put the fa- cility that will be home to hundreds of international sci- entists. Still, if the federal govern- ment gives the nod, Dr. Stew- art believes there is still time for Canada to win it. “There is nothing irreparable. Obvious- ly the sooner we have a deci- sion the better but they (the other parties) all understand bureaucracy,” he relates. If Canada is not selected to host ITER but participates with the partners, its invest- ment cost would be cut in half. The economic benefits would be diminished, but still substantial, according to a re- port by 29 pre-eminent scien- tists completed this past spring. Canada would still spend about half its investment on research and development here and would also secure rights to the technologies de- veloped, both for a future en- ergy source and for any spin- off industries, discovered dur- ing the research process.

We: •DESIGN •INSTALL •DELIVER Comes Alive...With The Gardening Experts Perennials 1¢ SALE Buy One Get 2nd For Only 1¢ (same price) Perennials Sorry, mums not included 1¢ SALE Imagine visions of gracefully swaying ornamental grasses adding drama into the late summer garden; visions of lush green hostas happily growing in shady areas; visions of rainbow colours provided by a wide variety of blooming perennials. Ornamental grasses, hostas and perennials are a welcome addition in a variety of home landscaping situations. Ornamental grasses start the growing season off slow, however, the final hurrahs of summer see the grasses displaying showy flower plumes or seed heads with many varieties also turning red to burgundy in cooler temperatures. ‘Karl Foerster’ grass was the perennial selection of the year in 2001, and it has the following positive attribute - it grows to four-feet tall with a stiff uniform upright habit giving excellent vertical height into any garden area. Other excellent selections in ornamental grasses include: • Micanthus ‘Gracillimus’ - this has long narrow green leaves and is ideal in a front yard. • Micanthus ‘Morning Light’ is very similar to ‘Gracillimus’ with the addition of a narrow band of white on the margins, which makes the grass shimmer • Hostas are the queens of the shady garden with every shade of green present as well as blue-leaved hostas, yellow- leaved and variegated two-tone. For any style of shady garden there is certainly a hosta that will be appropriate. Late summer blooming perennials that provide colour in the garden include the following: • Echinacea (common name Purple coneflower) - this flower features large brightly coloured daisy-like petals that surround a prominent central brown cone. This is an excellent flower for cutting and the seed heads can be used in dried arrangements. • Rudbeckias (common name Black Eyed Susan) available in many heights and combinations of yellow to orange to bronze is a superb flower for a vibrant splash in the garden and is also excellent for cuttings • ‘Stella D’oro’ daylilies are an excellent repeat blooming daylily. D’oro is Spanish for gold and this yellow is that - a beautiful golden which almost resembles velvet. Before the flowers appear, the neat tidy leaves resemble ornamental grasses, growing only to 15 - 18-inches tall, however the real beauty is the continuous flowering from May to October with regular deadheading.

The Pickering Town Centre has partnered with the United Way of Ajax/Pickering/Uxbridge and Durham’s Red Cross for the fourth annual School Supply Drive for needy school kids. Shoppers are encour- aged to donate school supplies by leaving them in one of the three school bus donation boxes locat- ed in the mall until Sept. 7. “We’re looking for all kinds of things, such as backpacks, lunch bags, pencils, pens, binders and duo-tang notebooks,” said Chris Couch, the Picker- ing Town Centre’s acting marketing director. Money can also be do- nated, and he said it would be used by the United Way to purchase supplies. Mr. Couch said last year’s drive was the most successful to date, as over 50,000 school supplies were collected, resulting in Back-to-School kits for over 3,000 kids. This year’s goal is to help about 4,500 students. School supplies needed for students The Countdown to Class run by Pickering Town Centre, Red Cross of Durham Region and the Ajax Pickering Uxbridge Unit- ed Way held its kickoff recently. The event helps net school sup- plies for needy children. Taking part in the kickoff are, from left Angela Lemieux (Red Cross), Matt Kraft (Eastside Mario's), Carolle Wilson (United Way), Debbie Kologris (United Way), Edna Klazek (United Way), Kathy Borisko (Grand & Toy) and Megan Stokes from the TD Canada Trust.

View grey cart at Pickering Civic Centre DDUURRHHAAMM — Those who live in Pickering’s Amber- lea area will remember the City’s three-stream re- cycling/ organics/ garbage pilot program. As Pickering chose to tie in with Durham Re- gion’s expanded Blue Box collection system rather than opt to continue with the large grey cart for re- cycling and garbage, these carts are now for sale to the public for $25 each. The split carts, with butterfly flap tops, are on wheels and stand 46 inch- es high and 32 inches wide. The divider can be easily removed. Some will be kept by the city to gather recyclables at events. The large green carts in the pilot are still with Am- berlea residents for the collection of food scraps and yard trimmings. The pilot ran one full year and proved that resi- dents of 520 households could divert, on average, 63 per cent from the waste stream. To view the grey cart, visit Pickering’s Civic Centre’s second floor at 1 The Esplanade or take out the 15 minute ‘Rolling to Reduce’ video available at the Civic Centre or from Pickering’s central or Petticoat Creek li- braries. If you wish to purchase a cart for either your own home or would find it valuable at work, contact Grant Mahone at 905-420- 4660, ext 2185. •••••••••••••••••• In Ajax, Stephen Brake and Grant Taylor of Operations and Envi- ronmental Services are about to test an electric composter with the Town’s staff. The ‘Byron’ plastic en- cased small motorized compost unit, on loan from Alco Electronics in Markham, matches an of- f ice’s decor. When food scraps, tea bags, and cof- fee grounds are added, the Byron’s rotator acti- vates the sawdust-like material to help break down the contents. It is suitable, of course, for apartment dwellers, homeowners, church groups, or daycare chil- dren, etc, who do not wish to vermicompost with red wigglers in a worm bin or cannot backyard com- post. To inquire or examine this model, visit 471 Mackenzie Drive in Markham during regular business hours. Hopefully the City of Pickering as well as many businesses or groups within our two communi- ties will opt to test this composter too while it is available in our area. •••••••••••••••••• Interested in obtaining something for free?

Kinsmen clubs come through to help the beef industry BByy AAlleexxiiss SScciiuukk Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Lunch is on the Kinsmen Club this Monday. Enjoy a free burger and be a part of a record-breaking attempt as part of the club’s first Canadian-wide Beef-on- a-Bun day. Over 1,000 burgers will be given away locally on a first- come, first-served basis. The event was started out west by the Alberta Cattle- men’s Association to get peo- ple back to eating beef after the recent mad cow scare. Kinsmen clubs across Canada are holding similar events and if more than one million burgers are given away, the club makes the Guinness Book of Records for the most burgers given out on one day. The Durham Cattlemen’s Association is sponsoring the event and Port Perry IGA is donating the beef. Herrington Quality Butch- ers, also of Port Perry, is do- nating its time and labour for turning small cuts of beef into beef patties, while mem- bers from the Port Perry and Pickering Kinsmen clubs will be helping out as well. Enbridge Gas is chipping in with four barbecues and a canopy, while the Oshawa A&P stores have offered gift certificates to cover the condiments. Glenn Towns, co-chairman of the local Beef-On-A-Bun day, said the afternoon will be a no-frills event. “We are encouraging peo- ple to come out, have a burg- er and bring your family and friends. This is the first time anything like this has ever happened across Canada so we will see how it goes,” he said. There will be pop and other refreshments to wash down the meal. “It will be a good atmos- phere and a good get-togeth- er,” said Mr. Towns. “It is something good for the city and for the down- town area. Maybe it will let people know that the Kins- men are still around.” The burgers hit the grill at noon Sept. 1 at the Kinsmen Hall in Oshawa, 109 Colborne St. W. The Kinsmen plan on cooking until 7 p.m. or “when the burgers are gone,” whichever comes first. For more information about the event call Mr. Towns at 905-436- 2039.

Diana Tomlinson gets highest aw ard PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — A Pickering res- ident described as “a true leader” has received the high- est honour from Ontario’s ele- mentary teachers. Diana Tomlinson was awarded an honourary life membership in the Elemen- tary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) at the union’s annual meeting in Toronto. The federation’s highest form of recognition, hon- ourary life memberships are given to members who have retired and given excellent service to ETFO at the provincial level. A teacher, professor, entre- preneur and ETFO staff member, Ms. Tomlinson most recently was the union’s coor- dinator of professional devel- opment services. “Diana has made an extra- ordinary contribution to edu- cation, not just within our federation, but also across the country,” ETFO president Emily Noble told delegates. “She has extensive experience in educational reform. She has written curriculum, pre- sented training, trained pre- senters, initiated programs and represented ETFO on ministry committees and work groups. As co-ordinator, Diana oversaw the develop- ment of ETFO’s outstanding professional development programs, including the sum- mer institutes and e-learn- ing.” Ms. Noble, who in the press release described Ms. Tomlin- son as “a true leader,” won- dered if the Pickering woman is indeed retired. “Most of us doubt that,” she quipped. “Her broad interests and consuming curiousity will keep her busy and engaged for years to come.” Pickering teacher honoured as ‘true leader’ Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo A/P PAGE 18 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 29, 2003 www.durhamregion.com SSppoorrttss FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ AL RIVETT, SPORTS EDITOR 905-683-5110 EXT. 250 DAILY GREEN FEES GOLF & DINNER TOURNAMENT PKGS.

Competing at her second IAAF World Track and Field Championships, Felicien lined up against the top hurdlers in the world in Wednesday's final of the women's 100-metre hur- dles in Paris, France. Summon- ing an inner strength she didn't know she had, the Pickering Olympian arrived at the pinna- cle of her sport: World champi- on. "I proved it to myself that I'm made of steel. It was the most intense competition I've ever been in," says Felicien in an in- ter view from France Thursday morning. "In the Olympics (in 2000 in Sydney, Australia), I went there for the experience. I wanted top four here no matter what. I had to be as calm as possible, but still be hungry and aggressive. I knew those girls weren't going to go down with- out a fight. But, nothing was going to keep me from what I had been hoping for last night. It was meant to be." Stepping into the starting blocks for Wednesday after- noon's final, the 22-year-old hurdler (who turns 23 today) not only had to keep her nerves in check, but also overcome a bout of fatigue to emerge as the unlikely gold medallist. "In the warm-up, I wasn't feel- ing so great. I was so exhausted from running the other heats and it was really hot that day. I wasn't feeling great. But, never- theless, when I was in the blocks, I thought that this is what I had trained for, for a year. "I really tried not to think about who I was up against. I've seen these girls race and they had amazing times. I kept re- peating to myself that this is what I came here for. I came here to be a champion and to compete. I wanted to be as ag- gressive as I could the entire race." From a fluid, fast start right through the 10th and final hur- dle, Felicien ran the race of her life to emerge as world champi- on, crossing the line in a per- sonal-best time of 12.53 sec- onds. It eclipsed the previous Canadian record for the 100m hurdles, 12.61 set by Katie An- derson in 1999. Brigitte Foster, of Jamaica, finished with the silver medal; American Miesha McKelvy took the bronze. "At the seventh hurdle, I knew I was in the lead and all I could think about was 'Oh, my God, how am I going to hang on to my lead?' I could hear Brigitte yelping and grunting beside me. When I was at the last hurdle, I sprinted as hard as I could. I felt like I had won; I couldn't see anyone else." But, Felicien recalls trying not to get caught up in the mo- ment, but rather waiting for the final results, to see if it was real. Only after the results went up on the scoreboard did she allow herself to celebrate. "I was in awe. I was walking around after the race and when I saw the results go up I was so happy and so relieved it was over," she says. And, she was mostly in disbe- lief when her blistering 12.53 seconds winning time was f lashed on the scoreboard. "To run 12.53 and find out I had obliterated the Canadian record and to have it happen where it counted the most, I still can't believe I did that." More than anything else, Feli- cien notes it was the quick start that put her on the track to gold in the final. Her starts have traditionally been the weakest part of her race, but not on this day. "I got out of the blocks so quickly. At the first hurdle I was thinking 'That was great.' My starts have always been my Achilles heel, so I had been working on it. My start is the reason I won the race, I think." Felicien notes she was per- fectly content in her role as a relative unknown on the inter- national track and field stage, and was also unfazed by being taken lightly by her fellow hur- dlers at the worlds. "Oh, I think they're going to pay a bit more attention to me now. They didn't give me the at- tention I probably deserved and they dismissed me. I loved com- ing in here being the potential spoiler. I came here to be fast and turn some heads and sur- prise some people, but now my cover's blown." She's an unknown no more. Following her victory at the worlds, it's been a non-stop whirlwind of interviews with press from throughout the world. She's taking it in stride though, comfortable in her newfound celebrity and notori- ety. "A fter the race, I've been talk- ing to the press and signing au- tog raphs. In Europe, track and f ield is extremely big, so people have been calling my name. I don't mind doing interviews. I set out to be a champion, so I'm glad to give back to my sport. It's fine with me. This is what I asked for, so I'm taking it." And, her 23rd birthday to be celebrated today will be one she won't soon forget. "This is the best birthday pre- sent ever," she says. "A gold medal on my 23rd birthday -- I couldn't have imagined it." Andy Lyons/Getty Images photo Perdita Felicien celebrates with the Canadian flag after capturing the gold medal in the women’s 100-metre hurdles at the IAAF World Track and Field Champi- onships in Paris, France. Her time of 12.53 seconds obliterated the previous Canadian record for the event of 12.61 set in 1999 by Katie Anderson. On top of the world PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——A city fastpitch play- er returned from the west coast with a national title and a major in- dividual award under her belt after the championships ended in Delta, B.C. last week. Tessa Thomas, 16, and the mem- bers of the Scarborough Spirit ban- tam rep girls' fastpitch squad cap- tured the gold medal at the Canadi- an National Bantam Girls' 'A' Fast- pitch Championships. The tourna- ment featured 13 provincial teams, including those from host B.C., Al- berta, Manitoba, Quebec and On- tario. Entering the cham- pionships as the number-one seed, the Scarborough Spirit won six of their eight games. In the gold-medal contest, the Spirit edged Manitoba 5-4. To advance to the championship game, the Spirit blew past B.C.'s Surrey Storm 88 squad 5-1 in the semifinal contest. Thomas, a right fielder and catcher with the Spirit was named to the all-star team following the gold-medal game. Two other Durham residents on the Scarborough Spirit also won in- dividual accolades. Third baseman Victoria Kaufmann, of Whitby, was also named to the all-star team. Mallory Aldred, a call-up pitcher from the Whitby Eagles bantam fastpitch team, was named the player of the game after the semifi- nal victory over Surrey. Scarborough Spirit captured the provincial gold medal at the cham- pionships in Windsor in July to earn the right to represent Ontario at the national showcase. Thomas attends St. Mary's Catholic Secondary School and has earned Athlete of the Year awards in Grade 9 and 10, along with sever- al MVP awards and honour roll aca- demic standings in both years. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 29, 2003 PAGE 19 P CONSEIL SCOLAIRE DE DISTRICT CATHOLIQUE CENTRE-SUD DE L’ONTARIO L’école catholique de langue française jusqu’au bout... c’est l’affaire de tout le monde. 1.800.274.3764 www.csdccs.edu.on.ca FAMILLE D’ÉCOLES SAINT-CHARLES-GARNIER — écoles de la région de Durham et Peterborough WHITBY ÉCOLE SECONDAIRE SAINT-CHARLES-GARNIER 4101, RUE BALDWIN SUD WHITBY ON L1R 2W6 3 905.655.5635 OU 1.800.464.1236 PETERBOROUGH ÉCOLE ÉLÉMENTAIRE MONSEIGNEUR-JAMOT1 186, RUE ROMAINE PETERBOROUGH ON K9J 2C4 3 705.742.7571 OSHAWA ÉCOLE ÉLÉMENTAIRE CORPUS-CHRISTI* 362, AVENUE HILLSIDE OSHAWA ON L1J 6L7 3 905.728.0491 AJAX ÉCOLE ÉLÉMENTAIRE NOTRE-DAME- DE-LA-JEUNESSE* 71, AVENUE RITCHIE AJAX ON L1S 6S5 3 905.428.1460 * Garderie 1 Programme d’enrichissement linguistique Manufacturers Clearance Centre Wednesday - Thursday - Friday 10 am - 8 pm Daily Saturdays 10 am to 4 pm Golf Liquidators Clearance Centre Golf Liquidators Clearance Centre Golf Liquidators Clearance Centre 908 Simcoe St. N. 908 Simcoe St. N. 908 Simcoe St. N.

Pickering teen captures national fastpitch crown Recycle! Please recycle this paper Pickering teen helps bring beloved show to a new generation BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Staff Editor It's Christmas in August on the set of Degrassi: The Next Generation. Although the weather hovers around 30-degrees Celsius out- side the Toronto studios of Epit- ome Pictures, inside on the set of the fictitious Degrassi Communi- ty School, banners are hung in the front foyer that depict how various cultures celebrate the holidays. The Degrassi set is an exact replica of a typical Toronto high school, containing literally all the trappings of a working school. Outside, there's a realistic ce- ment block school façade and, in- side, large double doors lead to the main foyer, complete with a main office and trophy cases. Also on the set are classrooms, hallways with lockers and even a gymnasium. There's also a set depicting the inside of a mall, in- cluding storefronts all decorated for the festive season. Pickering's Andrea Lewis in the role of Hazel Aden is part of the ensemble cast of Degrassi: The Next Generation. She and the 17 other young actors on the show's cast are hard at work on the hour-long Christmas special for the CTV program. The Christ- mas episode marks the half-way mark in the 22-episode schedule of the award-winning series, set to roll out its third season Sept. 17. The show's Christmas special, says Lewis, will examine how dif- ferent cultures celebrate the holi- days. She's reluctant to give away any more plot details of the show that will, oddly enough, air around Christmas time. "It's about all the different ways of celebrating Christmas, like Kwanzaa and Hanukkah," ex- plains Lewis, who was resplen- dent in a traditional Somali robe for her upcoming scenes during filming at the Toronto studio last Wednesday. The just-turned 18 year old is in her third season with Degrassi, which features an ensemble cast of Canadian actors. Her charac- ter is best friends with Paige Michalchuk (played by Lauren Collins), part of the in-crowd at Degrassi. Hazel, says Lewis, has grown and evolved over the past two seasons, from being one of the minor characters to one of the lead roles on the hit series that in its two years on the air has developed a strong U.S. audi- ence as it's seen on such net- works as ABC Family and on the N (Noggin) Network. "She has definitely evolved. When we first started the series she was really one of the other characters. Now, she has a family and a religion and plot lines about her, so she has really devel- oped a lot," says Lewis, who has been acting since age two. One of the show's recent plot lines has Hazel revealing to friends that she's Somalian and a Muslim. It wasn't an easy thing for her to do, but she later finds her personal revelations weren't as traumatic as she first thought they would be. "She used to be embarrassed by it, but now she's enjoying (her Somalian heritage) and explor- ing it," says Lewis of Hazel. As one of the few series on Canadian television targeted to the teen market, Lewis says sea- son three of Degrassi: The Next Generation will continue to ex- plore issues of interest to teenagers, especially the realm of relationships. "This season really steps up and really deals with teenage is- sues and real teenage stories," she explains. "We'll be dealing with a lot of relationship stories - - and the drama that comes with them." But, most of all, Lewis is having a great time being part of the tight-knit Degrassi cast that has been hard at work since May and will continue filming the series for several more months. "Oh yeah, I love coming here and working with all the other ac- tors. Everyone here is like a big family, so it's a lot of fun." ••••••• Although the air condition- ing is off in the Epitome studios in the wake of the power shortage that gripped On- tario recently, the cast and crew of Degrassi: The Next Genera- tion pressed on despite the swel- tering sound stage in their film- ing of Episode 11 and 12, the hour-long Christmas special. The crew is currently working on a scene inside the school in- volving Joey Jeremiah (played by Pat Mastroianni), a character from the original 'The Kids of De- grassi Street' who's back on the new series. Joey's stepson Craig Manning (played by Jake Ep- stein) is inconsolable since being 'double dumped' after dating two girls at the same time. They sub- sequently find out about Craig's two-timing ways and he's uncere- moniously dumped. Joey at- tempts to console Craig by relat- ing a story from his teenage past to help ease his stepson's pain. Presiding over the scene is vet- eran director Phil Earnshaw, who'll direct six episodes of the upcoming third season of De- grassi: The Next Generation. He knows the show intimately, hav- ing been the director of photog- raphy on the original CBC series that aired from 1979 until 1986. He also helmed six episodes in Season 2. "It's a lot of fun," says Earn- shaw. "The cast has its moments when their focus tends to wan- der. But, the neatest thing is see- ing year to year the kids getting older and more mature. It's neat to see their progression as actors and that's certainly true of An- drea." It becomes apparent that Earnshaw has an easy-going manner with his stable of teenage actors and the other crew members. On this partic- ular day, the set is as relaxed as it is busy, despite the heat and the fact production is running a little behind. He readily sings the praises of his young cast, especially Lewis and her acting abilities. "She's got a real natural look on camera and she has a very animated face," he says. ••••••• Since graduating from Grade 12 at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in the sum- mer, Lewis has put her post- graduation plans in place and they will lead her to the U.S. She'll begin studying the arts at AMDA (American Musical Theatre and Drama Academy) in Los Angeles, starting in Jan- uary. "It's basically a university for the arts," says Lewis, who ap- plied and auditioned in Toron- to and was subsequently ac- cepted. Although she plans to live in Tinseltown, she has no intention of leaving her Toron- to-area roots behind. "I'll be moving and studying there, but I like living in Toron- to, so basically I'll be travelling back and forth," she says, adding she won't miss the Canadian winters. Her education, however, won't interfere with her contin- ued shooting on the Degrassi series, as she'll be finished her first year of university when shooting starts up again in May. When she's not acting, Lewis is heavily involved in her other labours of love -- singing and songwriting. Of late, she has released a single she wrote en- titled 'Never Say Forever'. "We're currently trying to get it on radio in September," she says. She hopes it will form the basis of a six- or seven-song EP. To- ward that end, she's looking for a producer in either Toronto or in the U.S. who's interested in tak- ing on the project.

Popular Fiesta group back for limited run at dinner theatre DDUURRHHAAMM — A group of popu- lar Oshawa Fiesta Week en- tertainers is reuniting for two shows in early September at Class Act Dinner Theatre in Whitby. The Entertainers, who ap- peared at the British Pub Pavilion (The Dew Drop Inn) during Oshawa's annual mul- ticultural celebration, are special guests, this time at Mel Collie's Music Hall Show Sept. 5 and 6. The group was originally headed by Jim Renshaw and featured Harry McKew, Joan Hill, Rick Kerr and Janice Kerr, from local community theatres. They entertained at the pavilion for 11 years before retiring in 2000. While the members have moved on to other interests, three are get- ting back together for the September shows. Renshaw, McKew and Hill are ready to entertain once again. The show features Mel Col- lie and his Vaudeville Rascals, a six-piece band. Collie, a banjo player and stand-up comic, is well-known in the Toronto area and plays a range of music, including jazz, ragtime and vaudeville. He's per- formed with the Entertainers before. There will be a sing-a- long and audience participa- tion in the two-hour show. Tickets are $35.95, which in- cludes a five-course buffet dinner, Doors open at 6:15 p.m. and showtime is 8 p.m. For information and reser- vations, call Class Act at 905- 668-2229.

Shoestring group preparing for first production of 30th season DDUURRHHAAMM —— The Durham Shoestring Performers, set to start its 30th season, holds au- ditions Sept. 3 for its first show. The community theatre is producing 'Patience' by Jason Sherman, one of Canada's foremost contemporary play- wrights, from Nov. 7 to 15. The play centres on the worst day in the life of Reuben Field, a cellphone dealer who has to determine what's happening to him and how to fix it. The fast-paced script is said to provide strong acting chal- lenges for the ensemble cast. The play features three women -- Reuben's wife, their friend Sarah, both in the late 30s to early 50s, and a younger friend, late teens or early 20s, who must be able to play some jazz piano. There are also three men, all in the late 30s to early 50s. Most roles involve playing multiple characters. Auditions are at 7:30 p.m. in the Arts Resource Centre, 45 Queen St., behind City Hall in Oshawa. Rehearsals start after casting. Director Carolyn Wilson in- vites anyone interested in act- ing or production work to at- tend the audition. It's recom- mended actors borrow a script for advance reading by calling 905-725-9256 or e-mailing dsp@durhamshoestring.org. Fur ther details about the play can be found at www.durhamshoestring.org.
