Superior Court Justice Don- ald Ferguson ordered 11 jurors to go home early Tuesday, after one of their colleagues sent him a note raising concerns about testimony heard earlier that day. The man - Number 9 on the panel of eight men and four women - took the stand in a voir dire hearing to expand on his concerns in the presence of the judge, the Crown attorney and lawyers for the two defendants. An order from the judge pro- hibits reporting of evidence heard in the jury’s absence. But Thursday morning, the judge explained to the jury that he had decided to let the man re- main on the panel. “I am satisfied he and all of you are still impartial jurors and we will proceed with the trial,” Justice Ferguson said. He instructed the jurors to make no further inquiries about the concerns raised by the juror. The juror sent the judge a note late in the afternoon Tues- day after several hours of testi- mony by Mark Grizzle, a friend of Cosmo Jacobson. Mr. Jacob- son is accused, along with Sean Hall, of first-degree murder in the Feb. 4, 2001, shooting of Roy Jones in Ajax. Mr. Grizzle testified about the comings and goings of Mr. Ja- cobson, a close friend, at his family’s Pickering home in the years and days leading up to the killing. Lawyers for both the Crown and the defence asked questions about the use of tele- phones and a computer in the Grizzle home.

The Kings Crescent school community invites residents to drop in June 5 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. for a day of celebra- tion. The day features decade rooms, cake and refreshments, volleyball, a Lick’s barbecue, and student entertainment in the morning. The official closing ceremony, featuring guest speakers and the opening of a time capsule, is at 2:30 p.m. DURHAM – A high-speed police pursuit ended when the suspect vehicle collid- ed with an OPP cruiser and slammed into a guardrail on Hwy. 401 early Wednesday. A Durham Regional Po- lice officer on patrol on the freeway at about 4 a.m. near Holt Road in Bow- manville spotted a vehicle that aroused his suspicion and learned from OPP that it may be connected to a home-invasion rob- bery in the Colborne area, said Sergeant Paul Malik. “We had information they may be armed,” he said. Cops closed in, forming a rolling block, and tried to stop the vehicle; speeds reached 160 kilometres per hour as the pursuit went on, according to informa- tion released by Whitby OPP. Finally, an OPP cruiser pressed the suspect vehi- cle into a guardrail on the highway around Neilson Road in Scarborough. Two suspects leapt from the car and took off on foot, but were apprehended after a short foot chase. Police arrested two To r onto men, aged 20 and 17. Both have been charged with possession of stolen property and possession of burglary tools. The driver faces additional charges of dangerous driving and fleeing from police, OPP said. Woman hurt in Kingston Road crash PICKERING – A Scarbor- ough woman was seriously hurt and her son was slightly hurt in a two-vehi- cle crash that closed Kingston Road in Picker- ing for several hours Tues- day night. Durham Regional Police investigators were called in after the collision, on Kingston Road near Al- tona Road, around 8 p.m. Police said a 26-year-old Scarborough woman sus- tained serious injuries when her 2002 Toyota was involved in a crash with a 2002 Chevy Avalanche being driven by a 54-year- old Pickering man. The woman was taken f irst to Rouge Valley hospi- tal, then airlifted to a To ronto hospital. Her 3- year-old son was treated and released. The driver of the Chevrolet was also treated and released. The investigation into the collision continues. Po- lice are asking anyone with information to call 1-888- 579-1520, extension 5231, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477. Fr aud suspect sought AJAX – Police have re- leased a photo of a suspect wanted for fraud. Police say a woman sup- plied fake identification to open a bank account at an Ajax bank in late Febru- ary, then used ATMs in Etobicoke and Toronto to deposit three cheques and withdraw a large sum of money. The c heques were stolen, police said. Attempts were made to contact the suspect, who gave an address on Tulloch Drive in Ajax when she opened the bank account, have been unsuc- cessful. Police are looking for the public’s assistance in iden- tifying the woman, who is white, stands about 5-foot- 5 and has dark, shoulder- length hair. Anyone with informa- tion is asked to call 1-888- 579-1520, extension 2533, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477. Tires go rolling away DURHAM – Buddy, can you spare a tire? If not, be on the lookout for thieves, who have been lifting spare tires from pickups and SUVs lately, according to a warning is- sued this week by Durham Regional Police. Police said they’ve had 19 r eports of stolen spares from Dodge trucks and SUVs since mid-April, most of them in Ajax, Pickering and Whitby. There has been a lot of ac- tivity in the Finch Avenue - Liverpool Road area in Pickering and along Har- wood Avenue north of Rossland Road in Ajax, police said. Police are urging all resi- dents to be on the lookout for suspicious activity in their neighbourhoods. Anyone with information on the thefts is asked to call 1-888-579-1520, exten- sion 2524, or Crime Stop- pers at 1-800-222-8477. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 4, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P EST. 1957 Prices and specifications are subject to change without notice.

As sure as elections happen every three of four years, so too does the issue of whether currently elected politicians should give up their job while on another cam- paign trail. That's the puzzle now facing Pickering Regional Councillor Mark Holland, a Liberal Party hopeful in Ajax-Pickering Rid- ing. Mr. Holland has decided to continue on with both jobs lead- ing up to the federal vote June 28. He should reconsider. A leave of absence is the only fair thing for the public. Mr. Holland was part of Pickering council last fall when residents loudly objected to Wayne Arthurs holding down the mayor's job while campaigning for provincial election. In the end, Mr. Arthurs agreed to give up $100 a day from his salary. Election campaigns are all-encompassing periods of knock- ing on doors, all-candidates' meetings and mainstreeting. The job of a regional councillor is also full-time and should never be treated as anything else. Taking a leave of absence during cam- paign periods should be legislated as mandatory, not voluntary. Mr. Holland concedes he has to cut back his regular 60-hour council workweek to 40 to get the campaigning done, but won't be giving up any of his pay. At least Oshawa Councillor Louise Parkes, who is running for a federal seat, is declining her mu- nicipal salary while on the campaign trail. Wearing two hats during an election campaign serves no one but the candidate/sitting politician. In fact, it penalizes the peo- ple who put them into office. Should residents of Ward 2 in Pickering have to continue pay- ing full fare on a councillor offering two-thirds the effort? Of course not. At least Mr. Holland should reconsider his position on accepting his councillor's salary. Even then, candidates hold- ing other elected positions draw the inevitable questions: are taxpayer-funded municipal offices, phones, computers, or other resources being used to assist federal or provincial campaigns? Municipalities don't grind to a halt over the course of a four- or five-week campaign, be it provincial or federal, if they are one politician short. If anything, councils may be boosted by the re- moval of any potential politicking. There's little to be gained by Mr. Holland staying on and plen- ty to be lost for the public. Ta x es and assessments hard to take To the editor: I fully endorse the recently published letter from Doug Graham on property tax increases. If the tax increases them- selves, however, weren't hitting us enough, there is also the property as- sessment. I have lived in Pickering for 33 years and it is getting ridiculous. In 2003 and 2004 my property assessment went up 13 .5 per cent and 11.9 per cent, respec- tively. When I questioned the latest in- crease, MPAC informed me that the ma- jority of homes had been assessed at a higher value. Now we are facing a nine-per cent in- crease in taxes, making it a double whammy. When the government is trying to keep inflation below two per cent our councillors certainly aren't helping with the proposed nine-per cent hike. I don't think anybody is getting nine- per cent pay increases these days.

After trashing the Progressive Conservative government for years while in opposition over their handling of the education portfolio, a lot of the budget ideas looked blue Tory all the way. The former government had advocated turnaround teams, higher provin- cial test scores and an emphasis on reading, writing and arith- metic, as the Liberals did in the budget. The problem is that after nine years of Tory education reforms, the Liberals should have waited a year or two to begin their student success plan. Say what you want about the former government, but they were incredibly active on the education front. Education Minis- ter Gerard Kennedy has often said the Liberals don't plan to wipe all of those reforms off the map, but will spend a lot of time "fixing things." So, this first budget should have restored funding to school boards to ref lect the actual costs they face for energy, supplies, employee salaries and benefits and more. In- stead, the Liberals tried to have it both ways: there was $400 million in "stabilization funding," read catch-up funding, and there was $250 million to begin the student success plan. Labour chaos is again a possibility this coming school year, as the budget provides for a two-per cent raise for teach- ers. You know they'll want more. There are pressing needs in the system, legacies of Tory rule. As Trustee Elizabeth Roy pointed out, one of them is fixing the Grade 10 literacy test. Thousands of Ontario students could be de- nied a diploma this June because the test is geared towards academ- ic and not applied course level stu- dents. Addressing the issue can- not wait, and the Liberals had more than half a year to figure something out. Emphasizing reading, writing and math skills for primary stu- dents is a great way to ensure stu- dent success in the future. But be- fore embarking on new and costly reforms, like 20-student classes, the basics should have been ad- dressed first. The government is committing to increasing the education bud- get by $2.1 billion over four years - but can we believe it at this point after a tax-hike-filled budget? Even if it comes through, by that time board costs will have gone up again and it won't be sufficient. Then everyone will be saying school boards need to catch up - like they do now.

Some of the scheduled performers include the Ajax High School Ethno- cats, the Durham Tamil Association Dancers and Live Essence Caribbean Dancers. The children’s area of- fers face painting, games and a splash park from 10 :30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Satur- day. The Pickering Optimist Club is sponsoring a free bike safety rodeo at the festival from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. The event is being held at the foot of Liverpool Road close to Millennium Square. The Millennium Square street dance from 7 to 10 p.m. wraps up the first day of the festival. Sunday, the Brian Rose Combo #5 Jazz Band kicks off the entertain- ment at noon, followed by various other performers, including the 5-10 Dance Unit Hip Hop. Children’s entertain- ment includes the Profes- sor Snape Magic Show and a clown show on the beach stage. Mr. Johnson said while the event has been scaled back this year in that there is no Friday night c omponent, there has also been an addition. Or- ganizers have welcomed Artfest on Saturday at Alex Robertson Park. The midway runs Thursday through Sun- day with rides in the parking lot of Alex Robertson Park, located at the end of Sandy Beach Road. The event is organized by eight volunteers and requires 35 volunteers to work the festival this weekend. “Without the volun- teers, it wouldn’t hap- pen,” Mr. Johnson said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 4, 2004 PAGE 7 P PINE RIDGE GARDEN GALLERY 2215 Brock Rd.

Michael Boyer Pontiac Buick GMC recently gave away $10,000 to one lucky customer. Laurel Neil was pleased to be the big winner. Multicultural feel to festival By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – An 8.9-per cent tax increase for Pick- ering homeowners was ap- proved without fuss at a special council meeting Tuesday night. Pickering council ap- proved the document rec- ommended May 20 by the City’s executive committee. Mayor Dave Ryan thanked staff members for their hard work on what was called a “health and safety” budget. He pointed out that be- cause of the City’s low growth rate (less than one per cent) there was little room for new projects or expenditures in the budget. The increase means a homeowner in Pickering is going to pay an extra $78 in 2004 (based on a house as- sessed at $250,000). The City portion of the tax bill is 26 per cent of the total, with Durham Region and edu- cation making up the re- mainder. Wa rd 3 City Councillor David Pickles pointed out in comparison to Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa, Pick- ering’s tax rate is competi- tive. “No one likes to see a tax increase but it is important to note that (our rate is) lower then those munici- palities,” he said. Some of the new projects in the $44-million budget include: • $1.2 million for a Rose- bank Road bridge; • $1.2 million for Church and Bayly streets work; • $360,000 for the library (mainly for an automated check-out system); and • $380,000 for a pumper fire truck.

Thursday, the judge urged ju- rors to inquire no further into concerns raised about a man named Albert. During testimony, Mark Griz- zle said it was not unusual for Mr. Jacobson, also known as Avi Mundy, to be alone in the room in which the computer was placed. Mr. Grizzle denied ever doing an Internet search for Roy Jones or addresses on Twil- ley Lane in Ajax. Also testifying this week was Patrick Brown, brother of Mr. Grizzle and a longtime friend of Mr. Jacobson. Yesterday he un- derwent a relentless grilling by Paul Burstein, lawyer for Mr. Hall. At issue were phone calls made before a robbery in De- cember 1999 and a home inva- sion in June 2000, crimes in which Mr. Jacobson has been implicated. Phone records indicate the calls were placed from and to a cellphone belonging to Mr. Brown. But he denied making the calls, saying it was possible someone else used his phone. He also said that, while he let friends, including Mr. Jacobson, use his phone, he never lent it out or knew of it being used in his absence. “I’m going to suggest to you all these calls ... were made in your presence,” Mr. Burstein said. “You either made them or the person making them was stand- ing beside you.” “That’s not true at all,” Mr. Brown replied. Mr. Jacobson and Mr. Hall have both been charged in con- nection with the home invasion in June of 2000. It is the Crown’s theory Mr. Jones, an acquaintance of Mr. Jacobson who was scheduled to be a witness when the charges came to court, was killed to pre- vent him testifying. The trial continues. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 4, 2004 PAGE 9 A/P WEST 1830 Dundas St. E., Mississauga 905-848-9903 EAST 1755 Pickering Pkwy, Pickering (Brock Road & 401) 905-686-3200 NEW “Congratulations Naz Cavallaro” (KitchenAid Stand Mixer Winner) GRAND OPENING SALE Continues...Come in for your chance to win!

"The Green Party wants to work with the provinces to give cities constitutionally-enshrined rights," says the party's candi- date in the Pickering-Scarbor- ough East riding. The party would put in place a municipal charter, giving local governments certain rights and g uaranteed funding, says Mr. Pollesel. They would receive more money for infrastructure projects, so roads and other pri- orities could be attended to, and for their transit authorities. "They should be able to raise their own revenue and would deal directly with the federal gov- ernment, rather than going through an intermediary," he says, referring to the provincial level of government. Mr. Pollesel and the party sup- port tri-level government part- nerships, where federal, provin- cial and municipal politicians all work together on issues and pro- jects. "As with every issue in this country, there has to be an inte- g rated discussion," says Mr. Pollesel. Dan McTeague, the Liberal candidate, says the party recog- nizes the importance of cities and has begun the process of re- defining their place in the coun- try's political makeup. "It doesn't take a lot of rhetoric to convince us of the indispens- able part cities play now," he says. Mr. McTeague says the federal government has already relieved municipalities of the GST bur- den, which he says means mil- lions of savings for a municipality like Pickering. Prime Minister Paul Martin is also pledging to dedicate five cents per litre of the federal gasoline tax over five years to towns and cities, an esti- mated $2 billion annual windfall by the time it is fully implement- ed. Mr. McTeague says he's been ahead of the curve on the issue: the Liberal Committee on Gas Pricing in Canada, which he chaired, in 1998 recommended that the government consider re- moving the GST from other taxes and applying it only to the gasoline wholesale price. He also called for the 1.5 cent per litre in- crease on the federal excise tax in 1998 to be removed and dedi- cated to municipalities. NDP candidate Gary Dale says the party is in favour of a new deal for the cities. However he notes that in Canada's constitu- tion they are "children of the province." As a result, Mr. Dale says "there's not a lot we can do directly for cities," such as giving them new taxing abilities, even though a share of the gas tax ap- pears to be "a given." Mr. Dale says a new approach to cities shouldn't just be limited to providing more money. "The city strategy has to in- clude clean, renewable energies such as wind turbines and small- scale hydro electric," he says, adding nuclear power's days are over. As well as seizing the opportu- nity to create more liveable cities, Mr. Dale says they should not be able to expand as they wish. "We can't just keep letting To ronto and suburbs extend in- definitely... and take over some of the best farmland in Ontario," he says. Conservative candidate Tim Dobson says the party is "quite confused on where the Liberals stand and our position is quite clear." He claims the prime min- ister once said he was not in favour of allocating a portion of the gas tax to municipalities, but seems to have changed his mind. He says the Conservatives favour giving cities a three-to- five per cent share of the federal gas tax to be used for infrastruc- ture needs. "The cities need to make their own decisions, for example on in- frastructure, but they need to have adequate funding to be able to do it," says Mr. Dobson. The party would enter into ne- gotiations with the provinces to determine what that share would be. As for tri-level partnerships, Mr. Dobson says he personally supports them since it makes a lot of sense for the different levels of government to work with one another.

Election notebook JUNE 4, 2004 Prime Minister Paul Martin and the Liberals have a plan that will deliver a stronger public health system that will provide unmatched quality care to anyone who needs it, whenever they need it. A National Waiting Times Reduction Strategy W e’ll work with the provinces to fund primary care and cut emergency room waiting times. 5 in 5 Plan Over the next five years there will be an all-out drive to reduce waiting times for:cancer treatments heart procedures diagnostic imaging joint replacements sight restoration 24/7 Access to Care Canadians should not have to rely on hospital emergency rooms for after-hours care. Our goal is for all Canadians to have access to care providers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And we’ll increase medical professional spaces in universities and accelerate qualification of new immigrants with foreign credentials. National Prescriptions Plan The cost of drugs is rising fast and many Canadians need assistance. We’ll design a nationwide approach to contain pharmaceutical costs and provide a basic level of coverage, including catastrophic protection. National Home Care F or post-acute patients, including coverage for medication and rehabilitation services. Palliative home care services for people at the end of life. I’m going to work with the Premiers this summer to end the feuding and achieve a ten-year agreement on health care. We believe this plan will deliver what Canadians are asking for: a stronger public health care system that’s there when we need it for a decade to come and beyond.

Robert Ellis visited Pickering High School and Ajax High School on May 26, telling students about the death of his son David. Mr. Ellis lost his teenage son in a work accident. Relating the story to his young audience, Mr. Ellis talked about how on David’s second day on the job at a bakery, he fell into a large industrial mixer. The bakery failed to tell David the safety equipment was not on or how and when he should op- erate it, Mr. Ellis said, adding David lost his life for a $7.25-an-hour, part- time job. Mr. Ellis encouraged the students in the audience to ask questions of him, because he knows David would not have asked. He even posted fur- ther incentive, offering $20 to the per- son who asked the most interesting question. Nathaniel Lewin’s winning question was, “If I went to a job interview and asked the workplace if they would provide orientation and training and the answer is no, what can I as the student do to make sure other stu- dents do not apply for an unsafe posi- tion?” Mr. Ellis also encouraged the stu- dents to internalize what he told them, for the future. He wanted the students to process in their minds what he had said and take it all into consideration when applying for a job in the future or remember it if they feel unsafe at work. Emma Wooliscroft, an Ajax High School student, was affected by Mr. Ellis’s story. “Everything he said just made me so sad, especially when he said ‘I’m not a speaker, just a dad, who loves his son’,” said the 17-year-old. “He put us in his shoes and it really made you think.” Mr. Ellis showed the students videos with clips of his family. He let the students relive what his family went through, while his son was suf- fering in the hospital, as well as the sadness they face everyday of their lives. Mr. Ellis said his son would not have wanted him to point his finger at the government or the employer, but he would have wanted him to help teach and tell his story to schools and workplaces.

By Meghan Stone Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM – A man’s personal struggle with cancer has turned into a crusade for his church. The Agape Temple Sev- enth-Day Adventist Church is holding a walk-a-thon this month to help the Canadian Cancer Society and mark Health Awareness Week. The idea of the walk-a- thon started with Matthew McLaren’s battle with prostate cancer. He wanted to do something to help oth- ers living with the disease and his church, which helped create the event. ‘Walk a Mile with ME. McLaren’ travels across Durham Region, starting in Newcastle June 6, at 10 a.m., travelling to Oshawa for 5 p.m. The walk continues June 7, to Port Perry, leaving at 11 a.m. and arriving at 6 p.m. On June 8, the group walks to Brooklin between noon and 6 p.m., and on the fourth day, June 9, the group walks to Whitby’s Iroquois Park Centre from 1 to 5 p.m. The journey continues to Ajax June 10 from 3 to 6 p.m. On June 11, members are canvassing in different areas of Durham for additional sponsors. On Saturday, June 12 there’s a fun fair at Agape Church, 1999 Fairport Rd. in Pickering. The event begins at 8 p.m. Everyone is wel- come to enjoy food, games and entertainment. On the last day of the trek the group is travelling from Ajax, leaving at 2 p.m., and walking to Pickering by 6 p.m. Participants finish at the gazebo in Esplanade Park at Valley Farm and Kingston roads. All proceeds will be divid- ed up between the Agape Temple, Adventist Develop- ment Relief Agency Canada, and the Canadian Cancer Society’s Durham Region branch. To become a sponsor or for more information, call Mr. McLaren at 905-668-0474 or visit a Web site at www.health.inthegta.com.

DURHAM –The Durham Rape Crisis Centre has now doubled in size after mov- ing from Oshawa to a new location in Whitby. Its official opening on May 31 coincided with the last day of sexual assault awareness month, but also highlighted the launch of its “Hearts That Care...Always There” fund-raiser, where, for a donation of $10 or more, supporters receive a 24-karat gold-plated Page- Marker with a detailed summary of the centre in- side. All proceeds go to sup- port the rape crisis centre, which remains the only such centre in Durham Re- gion since its founding in 1974. “While relocating to a modern and bigger facility is a positive, one of the un- derlying reasons for the move is not,” said Liz Condie, president of the centre’s board of directors. “The business of sexual as- sault and rape crisis cen- tres is, unfortunately, a growth industry.” But it’s an industry that’s making a difference in peo- ple’s lives, Ms. Condie added, noting that a client came in just the other day to express her gratitude for the help of centre. “Whether it’s a physical or a mental injury that you’ve suffered, you gener- ally aren’t taking all that much care with your ap- pearance, you have deeper concerns,” Ms. Condie said. “But she looked terrific...and said that if it hadn’t been for the centre, she wouldn’t be where she was. “That makes up for a lot. That’s what does it, (when) you help someone make it through,” she said Partially funded through the Ministry of the Attor- ney General, the centre re- lies heavily on fund-raisers and corporate donations to support its day-to-day op- erations, such as a 24-hour crisis line, one-on-one coun- selling and victim support groups. Fo r security reasons, it does not advertise its loca- tion, only its crisis line number. With the move, the centre now has 3,200 square feet of space to operate in, includ- ing a main room with a home-like setting to act as a “safe-haven” during group meetings, Ms. Condie said. The centre, which is a non-profit, charitable orga- nization, also offers accom- paniment for police, legal and medical visits, advoca- cy services for court pro- ceedings, as well as public education and awareness programs aimed at pre- venting all forms of sexual violence. Kimberly Askwith, a vol- unteer crisis line worker, described all the centre’s volunteers as “incredibly passionate” and help to provide an essential ser- vice. “We strongly believe in a sisterhood where women should be supporting women’s organizations. I think that’s what’s fulfilling for us. We see it’s a need that needs to be filled, and we’re giving back,” she said. In Ontario, one in three women will be sexually as- saulted during their life- time, according to the Durham Rape Crisis Cen- tre, and 80 per cent are by someone known to the woman. The 24-hour crisis and victims’ support line at the centre is 905-725-2241. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 4, 2004 PAGE 19 A/P Fathers Day Fathers Day Blowout Sale Blowout Sale “All Prices Include Delivery To Home & Playing Kit” Cash, Check, Debit, Only/Visa, M/C 1501 Hopkins St. # 5 Whitby 1-800-550-9670 • Over 18 Tab l e s • O v e r 1 8 Tab l e s • Over 18 Tables O n D i s p l a y O n D i s p l a y On Display • 0 D o w n , 0 I n t e r e s t • 0 D o w n , 0 I n t e r e s t • 0 Down, 0 Interest 0 P a y m e n t s F o r 9 0 D a y s 0 P a y m e n t s F o r 9 0 D a y s 0 Payments For 90 Days King George List $3695 .00 Sale $2599 .00 Solid Oak Construction Th e Ellis List $4295 .00 Sale $2999 .99 11/2” Thick Frame Black Champion List $1999 .99 Sale $1499 .99 1” Slate Th e Ambrosia List $3295 .00 Sale $2399 .00 6” Wide Rails 426-3626905 $227 ,900$227 ,900 EST. 1957 Hours: Mon. - Wed. 4 pm - 8 pm.

They say statistics show that 75 per cent of people who are interested in travelling, would like to take a cruise in the next five years. However, who are “they” and where did “they” get these statistics? This is just one of the myths holding people back from a cruise vaca- tion. Below are some facts that will examine some of these myths and prove that’s exactly what they are: myths. Myth #1:“A cruise sounds great, but I don’t think I can afford it.” Tr uth:A cruise is defi- nitely within most peo- ple’s means. Never let the prices in a brochure scare you. These prices are an indication of “value received” but are rarely the price you will pay. It’s generally best to book in advance and low-season sailings offer significant savings. The amount you pay is based on your cabin category and all the ship’s amenities are yours to enjoy. There are cruises for everyone; from budget to luxury and lots in between. Many times, if you book a cruise well in advance and the price does go down, we will pass those savings on to you or get you a cabin upgrade - your choice. Myth # 2:“Cruising, it’s strictly for old folks.” Tr uth:The average age of a cruiser is mid 40s, where a first-timer cruiser is younger than that. There are some cruise lines that cater more to a specific demographic, but there is always a variety of age groups on board, especially on the typical one-week cruise. Rule of thumb: The longer the cruise, the older the pas- sengers. Myth # 3:“I’ll have to wear a tux every night.” Tr uth:Some people just love to dress up on a cruise and some people don’t. This is reflected in cruise companies’ dress code policy. Here’s the suggested dress code for dinner in the main dining room on a typical 7-night cruise in a mainstream ship: 2 formal nights, 3 informal nights, and 2 casual nights. Many have even done away with the 3 informal nights and have 5 casual nights where you would wear regular restaurant-attire. If it’s formal night and you don’t want to wear your best clothes, nearly all ships provide alternatives to the main dining room. Surveys consistently indicate substantial sav- ings for cruises when compared with resort hol- idays. More important, the satisfaction rate for cruises is noticeably high- er. A real truth would be to deal with a cruise spe- cialist, such as Cruise Ship Centres. We’ll make sure we put you on the right cruise at the right price.

That’s one of the first scenes in ‘Prom Queen - The Marc Hall Story,’ which aired Tues- day night. The docudrama is based on the story of the for- mer Oshawa Catholic high school student and his fight to bring his boyfriend to the prom. As most of you know, Marc took the Durham Catholic District School Board to court and won. The movie’s timing is good, with the board and Marc to face off again in court this fall. An October trial date was re- cently set where the same is- sues will be tried in a wider context. I have to fess up here - I’m a Catholic Christian, not because I was born into a Catholic fam- ily, but because I choose to be. So I support the board in its c ourt struggle to run its schools and school events ac- cording to Catholic teachings. That being said, I watched the movie from start to finish and will try and tell you how close it came to reality. As far as the sequence of events goes, it was quite accu- rate. Marc had to register at school to bring a non-student g uest to the prom, was refused, appealed to the board, was again refused, and finally won a court injunction. Along the way, he attracted a lot of support from students and groups such as Parents, Families and Friends of Les- bian And Gays. Marc’s TV lawyer accurately describes what was and is at issue: Catholic constitutional rights versus the charter of rights. He takes great relish in taking on the Catholics. There were licences taken, as you would expect. The court- r oom drama, culminating in Marc’s speech, never hap- pened: there were no witnesses two years ago, but there will be in October. And Monsignor John Perey- ma students didn’t walk out of school en masse, defying their principal, to attend the court case. For me, the most interesting thing was to compare the ac- tors with the people they por- trayed. Board chairman Mary Ann Mar tin’s tormented character at one point says, “if the Church hopes to survive, I hate to say it, we may have to change with the times.” It’s wishful thinking on the part of the moviemakers, clear- ly on Marc’s side. Trustee Mar- tin would never say or even think such a thing. In that scene, we see a clock ticking: presumably the Church’s time is running out. The Marc I met before he be- came a national news story was quiet, even shy. His friends did most of the talking when I in- ter viewed them. No doubt he had second thoughts about pursuing a court case, and that was cap- tured in the movie. But, the most interesting character was Marc’s teacher, ostensibly Chaplain Sue L aforet. Clearly upset under cross-examination from the board’s lawyer, she says she supports the church’s teach- ings on homosexuality. It is portrayed as a moment of be- trayal, since ‘Miss Lawrence’ was supposed to be sympathet- ic to Marc. On Wednesday, the board is- sued a press release stating, “school board staff and repre- sentatives were unfairly carica- tured” in the movie. Trustee Mar tin says the object of the release is not to review the film but “restate the position of the school board.” It is that homosexuals, like anyone, are to be treated with respect and compassion, but as she says, “the Church teaches that same-sex romantic activi- ty is immoral.” The board says a guy taking a guy to a prom constitutes that romantic activity, a point hotly contested by the other side during the initial case. Mr. Hall demanded a stamp of approval and the board chose not to give it, with the support of the local bishop, then braced for the inevitable outcry. Homophobes and dis- criminators, they were called. That’s not how they saw it. “We see those who would force their views on us, and would force our board to ignore the teachings of the Catholic Church as intolerant of our reli- g ion,” Trustee Martin says in the press release. Homosexuality is a tough one for Catholics and all Chris- tians. Some denominations have been and are being torn apart by the same-sex mar- riage issue. Catholics draw a distinction between the inclination to be gay and living a homosexual lifestyle. That’s what we believe. Mr. Hall’s supporters say there is no such line, that you’re either gay or not. Are Catholics and other faith groups entitled to not only have, but also live by their be- liefs? In the case of Mr. Hall, some pounced on the opportunity to say ‘no, you have to accommo- date ours.’ DURHAM –Two years ago, Cassy Hood was caught up in the struggle to get her best friend, Marc Hall, and his boyfriend to their high school prom. Tuesday night, after work, she watched a TV movie based on Hall’s story, a fictional drama en- titled ‘Prom Queen.’ CTV public- ity said it’s a drama rife with comedy. And the movie, just like the prom itself, was a bit overblown, Hood said. “It was a joke, the movie was a joke,” she said. “I recognized it as a spoof. It was meant to be funny but in my mind it wasn’t because of my personal connection. It’s a movie. It’s entertainment. It’s not my kind of movie. I wasn’t particularly entertained. “If I was detached from the movie, if I was somebody who’d just followed it in the tabloids, I would probably say it was an in- teresting story.” But she was involved. She was portrayed in the movie as Carly. In the spring of 2002, Hood, Hall and their friends were get- ting ready for their prom as they prepared to graduate from Mon- signor Pereyma Catholic Sec- ondary School in Oshawa. Hall wanted to take his boyfriend and, because his boyfriend was- n’t from the school, had to apply for permission. His principal de- nied his request as did the Durham Catholic District School Board, when Hall took his re- quest there. “We went out and tried to change that,” Hood said. “We got him to his prom. It was probably one of the most overrated proms going. It was just a dance where you dressed up in fancy clothes.” In fact, it took an Ontario Supreme Court of Justice injunc- tion to get Hall and his boyfriend to the prom. They broke up just days after the event. The movie changed many things, both big and little, said Hood. But she’s angry with the portrayal of the school principal in the movie. “The principal was not the bad guy,” she said. “It took him weeks to come to his decision and he gave (Hall) several valid reasons. He had every right to make his decision, according to his reli- gion and his beliefs. He is a nice man. I hope he didn’t watch the movie.

Anniversary Special Feature Youth can strap their thinking caps on and help name RCMP’s new foals DURHAM – Canada’s national police force is asking youths 14 years of age and under to par- ticipate in an annual contest by submitting names for two new foals. The Royal Canadian Mount- ed Police expects the foals to arrive this spring as part of a breeding program in the North- ern Ontario town of Pakenham. “This is an international con- test that provides an exciting opportunity for children and youth to use their creativity and imagination to find names for the foals,” said Sergeant Brendan Heffernan of the Musi- cal Ride branch. Entrants must submit only one name per envelope. Names must begin with the letter B and cannot be longer than six letters. Each entry must be ac- companied by the entrant’s name, age, telephone number and address, along with the suggested name on a piece of paper. Individual and class en- trants must be under 14 years of age, and classes should indi- cate, “school entry” on the en- velope. The criteria apply to elec- tronic submissions and tradi- tional mail. Entries must be re- ceived or post-marked no later than June 30. Instructors of the RCMP Musical Ride branch will choose winning names. Win- ner’s names will be announced July 13 and posted on the RCMP Web site.

For Sales and Service since 1970 Call 905-837-0653 Billboard JUNE 4, 2004 By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM –No boys allowed. Only Grade 8 girls from every school in the Durham District School Board were invited to the board office May 28 for a series of career workshops. A total of 140 girls from 63 Durham schools attended the day-long event, which aims to get young women to start thinking about future career paths. Organized by the Status of Women Committee - which is part of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, Durham - the program, now in its third year, is aptly called ‘Career Con- nections: It’s a Girl Thing!’ “We don’t want the straight-A students. They have an idea about what education is about and where it will lead them,” said Lena Glaes-Coutts, chairman of the Status of Women Committee, ETFO Durham. “We’re looking for the girls in the middle who may not have an idea of what they want to do after high school, but they have poten- tial. They’re hard-working girls, they’re interested in things, but maybe they haven’t had the op- portunity to look at life in a dif- ferent way.” Ms. Glaes-Coutts said the day began with the girls identifying their own personality traits, after which they broke off into groups to hear different guest speakers talk about their jobs and their ed- ucation backgrounds. “We want to give the girls some traditional and some non-tradi- tional jobs. We want to give them sort of a span of what’s out there, and what they can look at for their future,” Ms. Glaes-Coutts said, adding the speakers were all women, with jobs ranging from a fire marshal to a lacrosse coach. Lydia Hallard, a volunteer or- ganizer, said that, even in 2004, there is still a lack of female role models in the workforce for young women. “Also, just with their time of life, they’re really vulnerable to peer pressure and distractions, and not really thinking clearly about themselves and what their gifts are. This is just a way to help them focus and encourage them to think about their own futures,” she said. Rachelle Newcomb, 14, from Joseph Gould Public School in Uxbridge, said learning about dif- ferent careers was “pushing her towards what she wants to do.” She models part-time, but is con- sidering a future career as a vet- erinarian. “It helps you understand what you want to become, and makes you think more,” Rachelle said. “I’m meeting other people too, and finding out what they do and what their life was like before they got their jobs.” Tera Taylor, 13, a student from Dr. C.F. Cannon Public School in Oshawa, said it was nice for everybody to come together for a day just for young women. “I think it’s good because most of us don’t know what to do with ourselves, and we’re here and ac- tually doing something about it,” she said. And the most valuable mes- sage she learned so far? “Always try something new. That’s probably the one thing, the most important thing about this day,” she said. “Like one of the speakers said: you don’t try, it doesn’t happen.” A/P PAGE 28 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 4, 2004 www.durhamregion.com LTD.

Pickering's Siobhan Sara- vanamuttu, Michael Lindenas and Sarah Hill, Grade 8 stu- dents at Frenchman's Bay Pub- lic School, were part of the mass-saxophone troop that congregated at Dundas Square in Toronto last weekend to at- tempt to break a Guinness World Record. They are still waiting to see if the record will be recognized, but the three were proud to be part of the ex- perience. "At first it didn't look like a lot of people, not everyone had their saxophone out," says Sarah. "But then when we were told to hold up our instru- ments, it was like a sea of gold." It was Siobhan who came up with the idea to take part, thanks to her father who saved a newspaper article about orga- nizer Richard Underhill. He is a member of the musi- cal group The Shuffle Demons, and he put the call out for play- ers to take part. Siobhan e- mailed back and forth with Un- derhill, getting the details and sheet music to the 'Hockey Night in Canada theme' and then talked her two friends into joining her. "It's a Guinness record, so I thought it would be cool to be part of it," Siobhan says. The day of the event, Siob- han's family and friends piled into a vehicle and went to To ronto together. There, Michael was surprised at what happened. "I was expecting it to be pret- ty bad, with so many people," he says. "But everyone played at the same speed and it sound- ed pretty good." They were told 930 people had signed up beforehand, but on the day of the event, many more were signing up to play. That's why there's some ques- tion yet as to how many people will officially be recognized in the record-breaking attempt. It was no easy feat, though. Another member of The Shuffle Demons used an oversized hockey stick as a metronome to keep everyone on the beat and the temperature that day was warmer than usual. "It was a really, really hot day," Siobhan says. "It was pretty tiring," Mike adds. According to Underhill, he will be sending in the official paperwork to Guinness next week. He and his band are cur- rently checking signatures to ensure accuracy. He adds that one of the play- ers came from as far as Victo- ria, B.C. to be a part of the event. "He took the red-eye flight with his C-melody sax and made quite a trip out of it," Un- derhill says via e-mail. "There was also a guy there from Idaho, but he just happened to be in town."

Photography, sculpture, prints and paintings are some of the works involved. Participants were asked a se- ries of questions regarding the area, including what the key is- sues are, why they are artists or politicians, what their worst fears for the area are and what the community would look like in 10 years if they had a magic wand to wave. The artist-politician matches are David Gillespie and MPP John O'Toole, Jeremy Desjar- dine with Mayor John Mutton, Jan Prebble with Councillor Adrian Foster, Jean Michel Ko- marnicki with Councillor Don MacArthur, Sally Thurlow with Councillor Pat Pingle and Todd Tremeer with Councillor Charlie Trim.

See page 35 Monarchs fly past Frontenac Falcons St. Mary boys recover from slow start to cruise to first win at soccer provincials By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM -—After a rash of missed scoring opportunities early in the first half, it ap- peared the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs senior boys' soccer team was destined for one of those games. But, to their credit, the Mon- archs regrouped and continued to apply pressure to the Fron- tenac Secondary School Fal- cons of Kingston. As a result, the ball began to bounce the right way in their opening game of the 20-team Ontario Federa- tion of School Athletic Associa- tions (OFSAA) 'AAA' Soccer Championships in Whitby and Oshawa. The Monarchs were rewarded with a pair of goals in the first half en route to a resounding 4- 2 victory over Frontenac in pool 'A' preliminary play at Whitby's Iroquois Park Thursday after- noon. St. Mary was to play its sec- ond pool game against the St. Marg uerite D'Youville Panthers of Mississauga later Thursday, with the result unavailable at press time. The Monarchs fin- ish pool play today (Friday) against East Northumberland Secondary School at 11 a.m. and St. Mary's of Kitchener at 2 p.m., all at Iroquois Park. Although hosted by Picker- ing's Pine Ridge Secondary School, preliminary games are being played at Iroquois Park, Consumer fields and Peel Park yesterday and today. The gold- and bronze-medal matches are Saturday at Oshawa's Civic Stadium. The Dunbarton High School Spartans, Durham Region's number-two team at the OFSAA championships, also saw action Thursday. The Spar- tans started pool play against Orillia District Secondary School, followed by a game against East York Collegiate In- stitute, with the results un- available at press time. The Spartans play their third and fourth game in pool play today (Friday). St. Mary head coach Andrew McL aughlin praised his team's ability to shrug off the sluggish start. "We started a little slow, but once we got our passing going, we decided we could play our game," says McLaughlin. "The g uys worked well as a team, we passed well and moved into the open spaces. The guys needed to know they could score when they wanted to. They didn't give up after missing some early chances." Midway through the first half, after holding a definite edge in play, St. Mary's Fabrizio Savarino finally broke through for the team's first goal of the game. In tight to the Frontenac net, Savarino's shot hit a sprawling defender and rico- cheted high into the roof of the net. With about a minute remain- ing in the first half, St. Mary struck again, with John Jonke scoring his first of two goals. After a long, lead pass, Jonke outran a Frontenac defender and gave the goalkeeper no chance. The Falcons, who lost their opening game of the tourna- ment 1-0 to East Northumber- land Collegiate, showed some pluck early in the second half. With about a minute gone, Hay- den Morton's low rising shot found the back of the St. Mary net to put Frontenac back with- in striking distance. The goal proved a wake-up call for St. Mary, which put its pressure game back into prac- tise. The move eventually paid off in a goal by Michael Sarangi who, after a lead pass, chipped the ball past the goalkeeper's arms. Soon after, Jonke scored his second of the game on a long shot that eluded the Frontenac keeper. With less than a minute to play, Morton netted his second of the game for Frontenac. For the Monarchs, the OFSAA championship comes some eight months after de- feating the Dunbarton Spar- tans for the Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) championships in late October. To stay in game shape, McLaughlin says the players took it upon themselves to keep their soccer skills sharp in advance of the provincial tournament. "The boys played two to three times a week each morning. They wanted to practice. They played together all winter," he says. McL aughlin says the players have some unfinished business from more than a year ago. In 2003, the Monarchs' OFSAA ap- pearance ended prematurely with a loss in the quarter-finals. "Last year, we lost in the quarter-final in a game they thought they should have won. So, for the past year, we wanted to get back here," he says.

And, the all-world lacrosse icon did -- in spades. The long-time captain of the National Lacrosse League's To r onto Rock instantly improved the Ajax-Pickering senior 'B' squad's play in its home date against the Arthur Aces at the Pickering Recreation Complex last Saturday night. Veltman led the way with two goals — including the first goal of the game — and added two as- sists to propel Ajax-Pickering to an emphatic 10-4 win over the Aces. The victory improved the Rock to 2-4-1 on the season. The team is currently tied for sixth place overall with the Brooklin Mer- chants in the nine-team stand- ings. "He played very well. He did ex- actly what we expected of him. He raised the level of everyone's play," says Rock head coach Paul St. John. In addition to being a much- needed scorer on the floor, Velt- man also succeeded in being a playmaker, creating scoring chances by passing to open play- ers on the floor. "J im's going to get guys the ball in the right spot. He creates so much space on the floor," says St. John. And, as expected, Veltman, a.k.a 'Scoop', got to most of the loose balls in his area of the floor — something that has defined his pro career with the Toronto Rock. St. John admits that he was somewhat nervous going into Saturday's game — the first one for the 38-year-old Veltman who unexpectedly joined the Ajax- Pickering Rock last week. "I didn't know how the guys would react," he says. "I didn't want everyone to think it was the Jim Veltman show." After Veltman pumped in his first goal, the home team was off and running, scoring four more times in the opening period en route to a 5-1 lead. The Aces faced more of the same from the Rock in the sec- ond period, with Ajax-Pickering adding four more to take a formi- dable 9-2 lead into the dressing room. In a season that opened with four consecutive losses, followed by a close win and a tie, the Rock was in control from the outset of Saturday's game and never let the Aces back into the contest in sealing a rare stress-free victory. "When Jim (Veltman) got his first goal, it made everyone relax," says St. John. "We needed a game like that. It wasn't a laugher by any means, (goaltender) Mike Miron had to play well in net." Veltman wasn't the only player on the Rock roster who brought a strong performance to the floor Saturday night. Of note were the solid defensive contributions of Bill McLean and Kevin Taylor. McLean also converted for two short-handed markers on break- aways in the game. Also scoring for the Rock were Mark Craig with a hat trick, Jamie Lumsden, Pat Vanhooser and Ian Parrag with one apiece. Also adding assists were Paul O'Grady with three, Steve Dunn and D.J. Cox each with two, Tim Holland, Jeremy Sheetz, McLean, John Derochie and Cody Laforme, all with one.

The skinny:Jim Veltman, the captain of the Toronto Rock who’s now the captain of the Ajax-Pickering Rock, made his debut with the senior ‘B’ lacrosse squad a successful one. He scored two goals –– including the first goal of the game –– and added two as- sists to pace the Rock to a comfortable victory, their sec- ond of the season. Quotable:“He raised the level of everyone’s play,” says head coach Paul St. John of Velt- man’s influence on the Arthur game. For the record:Af ter losing their opening four games of the season, the Rock has bounced back nicely to record two wins and a tie in their last three outings. That’s enough to move the team into a sixth- place tie with the Brooklin Merchants in the nine-team se- nior ‘B’ standings.
