The original budget was passed 250-54, however there was plenty of suspense over wheth- er the amendments brokered by Prime Minister Paul Martin to gain the support of the NDP would pass. The defeat of either bill would have been viewed as a non-confidence vote and toppled the government. Mr. Anderson had stressed over and over again that the fed- eral budget must pass in order for municipalities across Canada to receive much-needed addi- tional revenues through federal gas taxes. He noted in the past that he didn’t care if an election was called — only that the budget document was given a stamp of approval to assure the new funds. “I’m very pleased that the bud- get passed,” said Mr. Anderson, who also serves as chairman of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).

The Canadian senator was the guest of the Faith at Work Marketplace and Ministry Network group, which meets three times a year at Pickering Pen- tecostal Church giving Christian business people a chance to meet and exchange ideas, support, and expand their client base. In her speech, Ms. Cools tack- led the thorny subject of gay and lesbian marriages, affirming her position of preserving marriage as a bond between a man and a woman, and cautioned attend- ees against considering the issue one of privacy. “This isn’t about privacy, marriage is a public act,” she said. “Marriage is an institution that looks after future generations. It is not a right, it’s a grand privilege, a sacrament of the church.” Ms. Cools is passionate about the issue. “Divorce and marriage are two big issues for me,” she said. “I’ve been working very hard on this issue all across the country.” The senator also urged the attendees to stand up for their rights and contact local representatives to make sure they are doing their jobs properly. “I hope they take away an under- standing that a citizens’ government is supposed to represent them, and as citizens they have a duty to keep an oversight on government because gov- ernments don’t do this on their own.” “We are now in an era where govern- ments quite often are opposed to the population, and the people have a duty to be vigilant.” Each meeting of the faith group in- cludes a guest speaker and organizer Bev Browne was thrilled to welcome Ms. Cools. “It’s a privilege to have her,” said Ms. Browne. “She usually talks to hundreds of thousands of people, not a group of 30 like us, and we’re not that signifi- cant, there are no heads of state here. “She cares about people a lot. She’s strong, passionate, and warm. She’s not afraid of sharing her beliefs.” Ms. Cools was happy to meet with the group. “I feel strongly about supporting church groups like this,” she said. “I’ve always believed that my job is to serve people and support people.” While some people in the public eye may not welcome making such public appearances, Ms. Cools weighs every opportunity carefully. “Some people will only speak to X number of people, but I rely on the individual who’s call- ing, what they say the group is trying to do. It’s my way as a person in public life to support these people, who are doing volunteer work.” Anne Cools infodurhamregion.com By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — A gun to her head, a Pickering woman offered up her bank cards to three masked men who forced their way into her home, a jury heard Tuesday. Ingrid Andrejsons said she was desperate to placate the men, who she said were contemplating shoot- ing her 20-year-old son during a home invasion robbery in June of 2000. “Maybe we should shoot him. Maybe we should shoot him in the leg,” Ms. Andrejsons quoted the thieves as saying during testimony in Superior Court in Whitby. “I (heard) my son being beaten by one or both of the individuals there.” Ms. Andrejsons told a jury about the terrifying ordeal as testimony continued in the trial of Cosmo Ja- cobson, the former Pickering man charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Roy Jones of Ajax. It is the Crown’s theory that Mr. Jones, a security guard at the Metro East Trade Centre, saw Mr. Jacobson make ATM withdrawals on bank cards stolen during the robbery at the Andrejsons home on June 16, 2000. The Crown contends Mr. Jacob- son shot and killed Mr. Jones on Feb. 4, 2001, outside his Ajax home to prevent him from testifying at a preliminary hearing scheduled just a few days later. Mr. Jacobson has pleaded guilty to participating in the home inva- sion, and admits culpability in Mr. Jones’s death. But he denies killing the 28-year-old Mr. Jones, or plot- ting in advance to carry out the ex- ecution. Ms. Andrejsons told the jury she was at her Major Oaks Road home around noon the day of the robbery when she answered a knock at the door to find three young men asking for her son. She invited them in, and was surprised when they slipped on bandanas to cover their faces and drew guns. “I felt somebody come up behind me. I felt a gun go up to my left temple and whoever was behind told me to go down on my knees,” Ms. Andrejsons said. “I was on my knees with my head down and a gun to my head,” she said under questioning by Crown counsel Paul Murray. “(The gun) was kept to my temple the entire duration of the incident, until they left my house.” The bandits were after drugs and money, the jury heard. They became angry when Ms. Andrejsons’s son handed over only a small amount of dope, she told the jury. Desperate to keep the men from hurting her son, Ms. Andrejsons handed over debit and credit cards, along with PIN numbers. Those cards were used shortly after the robbery to withdraw $800 from a bank machine at the mall where Mr. Jones worked as a security guard, the jury heard. Under questioning by Durham Regional Police Mr. Jones identified Mr. Jacobson, whom he knew from high school days in Pickering, as the man who had used the ATM, court heard. The trial continues. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 20, 2005 PAGE 3 P Chrysler Makes Them Powerful • Davidson Makes Them Affordable www.davidsonchrysler.com 401 MORNINGSIDEKINGSTON RD416-281-2277416-281-2277 4695 Kingston Road,4695 Kingston Road, Scarborough OntarioScarborough Ontario Check out our Great Selection of Used Vehicles!

Vo te gives needed ‘recognition’ to municipalities, says Anderson setting up meetings with federal officials “to proceed as quickly as possible to get those gas-tax revenues flowing. “If there was ever an opportu- nity to make something happen for Ontario municipalities and every province and territory, the passing of this budget was it,” he said. “This budget recognizes, fi- nally, the significant role mu- nicipalities play in the quality of life and economy of our nation. “It was a huge vote.” In order to garner support for the initial budget — the Tories and Bloc Quebecois originally pledged to form a partnership to oppose the budget and, sub- sequently, topple the Liberals — Mr. Martin forged an alliance with NDP Leader Jack Layton. However, to gain the support of the 19 NDP MPs, Mr. Lay- ton forced the prime minister to tack an additional $4.6 bil- lion onto the 2005 budget, changes that included new spend- ing on housing and the environment and delays to a series of corporate tax cuts. The Conserva- tive-Bloc partnership opposed the amend- ments on the basis that the deal would put the nation further in debt. However, after weeks of tell- all headlines from the Gomery Inquiry into the Liberals’ in- volvement in the Quebec spon- sorship scandal, followed by polls showing the Grits’ fall and subsequent rise in the public’s eyes, Mr. Martin has managed to hold off an election until at least later this year or early 2006. There was plenty of specula- tion of how the num- bers would shake out — both the Liberal- NDP alliance and the Conservative-Bloc partnership had an equal number of votes heading into Thurs- day’s vote, leaving the fate of the government in the hands of inde- pendents. There were also many headlines regarding the defection of high- profile Newmarket-Aurora MP Belinda Stronach to the Liberals from the Conservative party and the health of MPs. Thursday’s vote on the origi- nal budget document ended 250-54, in favour in Bill C-43. infodurhamregion.com Just one more way to get your news thanks to your friends at NEWS ADVERTISER Roger Anderson ✦ Vote from page 1 durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 20, 2005 PAGE 5 A/P Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies. • A Full Range of Dental Treatments - Bring the whole family. • Saturday & Evening Appointments - To serve you better. • Flexible Payment Options - Helping you get the treatment you want. • A Relaxing Atmosphere - Virtual vision glasses, stereo headphones to help ensure you have a pleasant visit.

PAY NO INTEREST UNTIL 2007 TIMEline Skirting procedure, trustees approve a new transportation policy. Surplus seats and out-of-area sibling riders are off the bus, while parents who use day care are given the opportunity of having chil- dren picked up and dropped off at two different addresses. 2004 Parents, generally caught off-guard two months previous, are becoming aware of the new policy. They inundate trustees with phone calls and slam the board at public meetings for what they say is a lack of public input. Trustee support for the new policy teeters, with at least two calling for a pub- lic meeting. Trustees vote 5-4 to reopen the policy, but as two-thirds is required, the policy stands. At an often raucous public meeting, several parents say while one of their children is no longer able to ride, buses with empty seats are passing their homes. They describe the challenge of now getting students to and from two different schools. The trustee ad hoc trans- portation committee recon- venes to consider changes to the policy. Tr ustees propose several amendments, but not reinstating surplus seat- ing. The method of measuring distance for bus eligibility would revert to the former, home driveway starting point, and students could receive bus- ing for safety reasons and if parents have joint legal custody of a student. The period for public input on the amendments and entire policy ends. Just two school councils, four individuals and three organizations, including Canadian Parents for French, send submissions. In a 9-2 vote, the amendments proposed in February are added to the policy. Surplus seating and other cuts made over a year ago are not reinstated. 2005 Tr ustees voting for new busing policy say it’s clearer than the old model lings of students in programs such as French immersion. At Monday’s board meeting, trustees approved the policy in a 9-2 vote, with board chairman Michael Barrett and Ux- bridge-Brock Trustee Gordon Bax- ter not lending their support. “I believe that transportation can be a great equalizer in trying to en- sure that students have equal access to all programs, to all educational opportunities across the board,” Trustee Barrett said in an interview. “I don’t think transportation should be restrictive, it should be all en- compassing.” For a single parent who has two children, one of whom wants access to a special program at a non-home school, for example, he said the pol- icy means two different schools and two bell times, placing a heavy bur- den on such a parent. That parent might not choose a program with no bus ride for both kids. However most trustees said the policy is clearer than its predeces- sor, where access to busing through surplus seating was a hit-and-miss proposition. Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hop- per said transportation is always “a contentious issue. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford emphasized each issue raised by the public was thoroughly analyzed by trustees at several meetings. “It was discussed, it was debated and it was voted upon,” he said, adding “the outcome may not be as everyone would have wanted it.” In approving the policy last year, staff and trustees argued that the move to a busing consortium with the Durham Catholic board prompt- ed the elimination of, for example, surplus seating. The rationale drew public criticism however, and a pending government funding cut was then cited as the main reason. But parents and even Education Minister Gerard Kennedy argued the board received more transpor- tation funding in the previous gov- ernment budget, and the minister said the board shouldn’t make cuts based on a draft provincial model. Business superintendent Ed Hodgins, at Monday’s meeting, said the two Durham boards are in dis- cussions on a governance structure for the consortium, approved in principle by both boards. He ex- pects more bus sharing to occur in Ajax this coming school year. “We have not made as much progress as we had hoped this year,” he said. The board also approved a mo- tion that the existing appeal process be spelled out in the procedure. ✦ Trustees, From Page 1 January February March April May June July August September October November December January February March April May June July August September October November December Gas prices are ludicrous To the editor: I am astonished at the level gas prices have reached. It is ludicrous to see the price skyrocket, and yet the companies still continue to raise the price. It is a big game for all of these oil companies. It is not even as if the gas consumers have a chance to figure the game out. The price may change anywhere from two to five times in a single day. It is mind boggling to see when the price does change there is no consistency. The price may fluctuate anywhere from 0.02 cents to 0.7. Working as a gas attendant at a local gas station I have the chance to witness all of this madness first hand. It amazes me that people can barely afford to drive as often as they do. Being a teenager with two part-time jobs who owns her own car, it is extremely difficult to be able to afford gas week- ly. At the rate prices are going people are going to be forced to find different ways of transportation. Something needs to be done to help struggling people such as myself. Something needs to be done soon. Nicole Florio, Pickering P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 20, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR No June election as Liberals survive Stronach, independents save government T hanks to a big assist from Belinda Stronach and the help of an independent MP or two, the Liberal govern- ment has managed to survive — for now. After Conservative leader Stephen Harper pledged his party would support the original budget — minus the $4.6 billion in promises by Prime Minister Paul Martin to NDP leader Jack Layton — you could hear a sigh of relief in every municipal council across the land. That means, no matter what happens over the next few months, the promised gas tax money will flow to cash- starved municipalities that need every penny for ballooning transit and road costs. Regional chairman Roger Anderson and councils around the region can rest easy knowing the cheque is in the mail. It also means those pricey promises Mr. Martin made to Mr. Layton will be kept as will the multi-billion-dollar At- lantic Accord pressed for by a pair of Conservative MPs and Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams. So, what now? Well, the situation, as they say, is fluid. A byelection to replace a deceased Liberal MP will take place in Newfound- land on May 24. There could be more floor-crossers in the wake of Ms. Stronach’s surprising move on Monday and, depending on how the numbers stack up, there may well be more non-confidence votes. One thing remains certain: Short of further dramatics in the Commons, we will have a winter-time federal election, the first in 26 years. The Gomery Inquiry report is scheduled to be delivered in December. If Judge Gomery meets his deadline, the prime minister has given his word he will call an election within 30 days. That means candidates will have to find a way to pound their signs into frozen ground, go door-to-door in mid-afternoon and brave snow, ice and the cold. Not much fun, but Mr. Martin has made a pledge he must keep. Canadians, in poll after poll, said they didn’t want an elec- tion this spring, and now they have their wish. The drama in Ottawa continues for now with a budget finally passed and government, at least until the fall, likely secure. Stay tuned.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com I t pays to be a Pickering councillor. Or at least that’s the conclusion one could draw from a report released last week. It showed Pickering taxpayers forked out nearly $330,000 for items such as salaries, expenses and travel for the City’s mayor and six councillors. Meanwhile their counterparts, the mayor and six councillors to the east, cost their taxpayers just $246,912.67. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick John- son expensed the most again in 2004, increasing on the year previous by a few hundred dollars to come in at $20,134. Compare this to the highest spending councillor in Ajax, Councillor Joe Dick- son, who had about $4,500 in expenses; only one Pickering councillor — Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles — ex- pensed less than Mr. Dickson, not count- ing Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dicker- son who won the seat in a byelection in November. There is a cost to being a councillor — dinner or lunch meetings, mileage from travelling throughout their ward, or meetings and conferences — but if an- other council can do it for so much less, why can’t Pickering councillors reign in the spending? Meals are a costly item in Pickering whereas in Ajax, director of finance Rob Ford said “there is a very limited budget for that” and “it is hardly used.” Pickering’s combined meals expenses: $18,742. That’s a lot of food, even when you take into account Mayor Dave Ryan’s $7,420 included items such as hosting the Chinese delegation that visited the City to foster business ties. And it’s great to be able to reach councillors by cellphone or have them sending messages on their blackberry during meetings, but that convenience cost $22,382 last year. Ajax councillors communicate by phone and newslet- ters for just $7,201 (to add newsletters to Pickering’s figures increases the number by $15,485 but it does include postage). Pickering councillors must spend a lot of time on the road. Mayor Ryan received a $15,614 travel allowance — using the CAA’s figures of $0.45 a kilometre to own and operate a car driven 24,000 km a year that means he’s driving more than 34,000 km a year. The allowance for councillors of $7,623 works out to nearly 17,000 km. In that other municipality the mayor gets $6,300 and councillors get $2,520. As well, Pickering council added $100 to their monthly travel allowance in the 2005 budget. When asked about their expenses councillors say they are “justifiable” and that’s what it costs to be a good council- lor. Communicating with constituents, attending meetings and conferences are all important parts of a councillor’s job that need to be done but other council- lors in Durham Region do it for a lot less. Maybe Pickering councillors could meet their constituents over a coffee this year, instead of a $40 meal. Danielle Milley’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail dmilley@ durhamregion.com. Pickering’s high cost council Danielle Milley staff writer Bill includes obligations for the private sector, tougher enforcement By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — A 10-year fight ended in victory last week for accessibility activ- ists in Durham and across the prov- ince. New legislation unanimously passed on May 10, promises to make the pub- lic and private sectors more accessible, through tougher enforcement and clear timelines. Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 25 per cent of all public and private transpor- tation fleets will be accessible within five years, and all public and private buildings will be accessible by 2025. Oshawa resident Kathryn Bremner is a member of the Ontarians with Dis- abilities Act Committee and has spent years pushing for stronger laws on be- half of her son, who uses a wheelchair. She says the new bill is a huge im- provement on the original Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA) introduced in 2001. “The ODA only applied to the public sector. It didn’t require the establish- ment of accessibility standards and it didn’t include effective enforcement,” she says. “The new legislation levels the playing field for all. It means that persons with disabilities will now be able to fully participate in their com- munities.” Durham currently has individual accessibility advisory committees in each municipality, and a regional com- mittee, mandated by the province to identify barriers and set out plans for their removal. As well, several local residents including Pickering’s Tracy MacCharles, sit on the province’s Ac- cessibility Advisory Committee. She says making stores, restaurants and other everyday destinations ac- cessible is vital. She notes that her husband, who is a paraplegic, often encounters inconveniences like eleva- tors that require special keys to use or narrow doorways. “Some business owners are con- cerned about the cost, but there is a compelling business argument to mak- ing all these places accessible,” she says. “Given the number of people who have disabilities, the aging population and the families and friends of all those people, there’s a lot of spending power there.” durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 20, 2005 PAGE 7 A/P bring your pre-loved and re-saleable furniture and accessories to IKEA and receive a coupon for Push, pull or drag-it!

DURHAM — Salvation Army is ready to launch its annual Red Shield campaign. In May, Salvation Army officers, employees, and volunteers em- bark on a national awareness and fundraising campaign to support programs, including treatment for men and women suffering from addiction, assistance for families in need, and services for people without a place to call home. The 2005 National Red Shield Cam- paign target for May is $3 million. “With the help and support of Canadians, we can make a signifi- cant difference in the lives of real people, and make our communi- ties a better place to live,” says Christine MacMillan, commander of the Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda. The Salvation Army serves in 109 countries, and started in Canada in 1882 as a Christian movement with an acute social conscience. For more information, visit www.SalvationArmy.ca. Salvation Army launches Red Shield campaign DURHAM — If you’ve ever won- dered where your clean drinking water comes from, or what happens after your blue box leaves the curb, let the experts at Durham’s works department give you a behind-the- scenes glimpse during National Public Works Week.

On May 28, residents can visit the Durham Region Recycling Centre at 4600 Garrard Rd., in Whitby, for guided tours and a truck and equip- ment display between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Call 1-800-372 1103 or visit www. region.durham.on.ca. Celebrating how Durham Region works A/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 20, 2005 durhamregion.com One more for the road... bad idea Editor’s note: Reporter Jeff Mitchell’s account is based upon a dramatization of an impaired-driving arrest. The events described are not the result of an actual crime. By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — It’s the cell door — the long rolling rumble, like thunder in the middle of the night, ending with a crash that sounds for all the world like everything you own and know is clattering down at once — that makes this real. The rest was just confusion, a cascading and escalating chain of events that has led to this point. Surreal. But when the cop slides that barred door shut and strides away, there’s nothing but the sound of footsteps echoing down the tiled corridor, and then there’s nothing at all. Just bleak fluorescent light falling pitilessly on a cot with a thin mattress and a thinner blanket, feet away from a stainless-steel toilet. Time to assess the situation: I am incar- cerated in a tiny cell in a nondescript police station. My blood-alcohol level has been mea- sured at .140, or 140 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit I know — have always known — is .08. I have surrendered my wallet and my li- cence and my belt and my liberty and placed a call to a duty counsel lawyer. I have been advised to sit tight. Sit tight. Sure. I’m not going anywhere. THE RIDE STOP It’s about 12 minutes after 4 o’clock when I guide my car down the ramp in Oshawa, looking to get a jump on homeward-bound traffic. Off work early, I’ve stopped at a pub for a drink, or two, or three. And what the hell — it’s cold and wet and dreary, so how about a shot of Irish whiskey for the road? I had briefly debated with myself the wis- dom of getting behind the wheel, but decided to chance it; it is early, traffic relatively light, and I feel OK. Just take it easy, I thought, and we’ll get home just fine. But turning onto the ramp to the 401, my heart nearly stops: Sitting there, lights flash- ing, are two police cars. Two OPP officers in rain gear — one wearing blaze orange, the other brilliant yellow — are stopping cars and leaning into driver’s side windows, then wav- ing them on. Damn. Be cool. Take it easy. I pull up and stop where the officer indi- cates. He leans over and his face fills my win- dow. Damn. “Evening, sir,” the cop says, his face discon- certingly close to mine, “had anything to drink tonight?” Damn, damn, damn. “No,” I say, after a pause. His eyes are fixed on mine. “A re you sure, sir?” I insist I haven’t been drinking but, as the officer continues to question me, I allow that I had a few beers the previous Sunday after- noon and evening while I watched Mike Weir chase Phil Mickelson at Pebble Beach. “You want to just pull you car over there, sir?” the cop says, motioning to the curb side of the ramp. The officer obtains my licence and asks me to step out of my car. I accompany him to a cruiser. He opens the back door and has me get inside. Climbing into the driver’s seat, he informs me he has reason to believe I’ve been drinking and demands I provide a breath sample. I do so, blowing for several seconds into a plastic mouthpiece attached to a breathalyser device. The cop reads the digital numbers that glare red on the device. I am placed under arrest for driving while exceeding the legal blood-alcohol limit. The officer demands I accompany him to his de- tachment to provide another breath sample. He tells me I am entitled to talk to a lawyer and that, if I want to, I can call free duty counsel for advice. He tells me that I am not obliged to say anything but that, should I choose to, anything I say may be used against me in court. OFF TO THE STATION Persistent, icy rain is pelting down as I step from the cruiser and stand with legs apart. My hands are cuffed behind my back and I am frisked. Handcuffs are not comfortable. Nor is the back seat of the cruiser into which I am placed. It is cramped and has no leg space. A Plexiglas barrier is jammed up to within inches of the seat. I must sit sideways, my legs on the seat, hands shackled behind me, bat- tling claustrophobia. We drive down the mist-shrouded 401, on the way to the Whitby OPP detachment. My car has been left behind; it will be towed and impounded. It will cost me several hundred dollars to get it back. It is a long, silent trip. Commuters just off the GO train are stream- ing out of the parking lot near the police sta- tion when we pull up. I crawl out of the back seat and am escorted through a side door. The first thing I see upon entering the building are steel bars. My arresting officer, whose name I have learned is Greg Clee, asks me to surrender my belongings and I am again frisked. After a call to duty counsel, I’m led to a cinder-block room in the bowels of the sta- tion. Fluorescent lights hum and the tiles are scuffed. Waiting for us is Constable Jeff Edwards, the technician who will monitor my next breath test. I breathe into the mouthpiece attached to the Intoxilyzer machine; the results of the test are printed out on a card that re- sembles a traffic ticket. Const. Clee has disappeared with my li- cence and is filling out the paperwork. Upon handing me over to the custody of Const. Edwards, he outlined the circumstances of the traffic stop and his reasons for arresting me: smell of alcohol on the breath, a red, flushed face and, of course, my failure of the roadside blood-alcohol test. He doesn’t mention my failure to fully recite the alphabet. But I’ll be damned — seems I was swaying from side to side as we spoke by the shoulder, another tell- tale sign of impairment. Who knew? Like the many other motorists who slowed to take in the scene on that rainy February afternoon, she likely was wondering: Who is that man — and what has he done? Among the documents I’m handed when I’m released around 7 p.m. will be a sum- mons to appear in court, and an order to attend back at this station for fingerprinting. The cops will provide me a bottle of soap and paper towels to clean the black ink from my hands afterward. I’ll begin the legal process in Courtroom Number 6 at the King Street West courthouse, where I’ll attend a remand court crammed full of people like me and be given a future date to appear. I’m also alerted to the fact that my driver’s licence is suspended for 90 days. How the hell am I supposed to work around that? SOLITARY THOUGHTS In the cell with time to think. I consider the woman who stared through her rain-beaded window at the spectacle by the roadside: Two police officers arresting a man. He stood, legs wide apart, while one of the cops frisked him. His hands were cuffed behind his back. She watched through the passenger win- dow as her husband eased his car past the two cruisers and negotiated the ramp onto Hwy. 401. Red flashing lights splashed across the windshield of her car. Like the many other motorists who slowed to take in the scene on that rainy February afternoon, she likely was wondering: Who is that man — and what has he done? The woman who passed the scene just as the evening rush hour began got onto Hwy. 401 with her companion and drove west, most likely home to dinner, where perhaps she’d mention the arrest she’d witnessed. She’d be more concerned with spending time with her husband and family, sharing with them the warmth of her home as a miser- able winter night deepened. I, too, had been on my way home, with plans for a quiet dinner to celebrate the day. But it would be a while before I got there. My wife would be waiting, while dinner grew cold, wondering what had kept me. A drink or two too many on the way; a po- lice spot check between me and the highway. Everything had changed, for the worse. Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photos OPP Constable Greg Clee handcuffs Jeff Mitchell before placing him in the back of a cruiser. Above, Mr. Mitchell blows into the roadside breathalyser in the back of the cruiser before heading back to the Whitby OPP station for booking.

Tee it up for the Humane Society golf tourney durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 20, 2005 PAGE 17 A/P As soon as you can dig the soil in your garden, you can start thinking about your colour choices and planting pansies as a garden border, full beds or in containers. Whether it’s an array of colour and shape or a specifi c colour treatment to complement a certain theme or holiday, pansies are the hardy fl ower to start your spring gardening eff orts. Pansies grow well if you work slow release fertilizer into the soil prior to planting, or use liquid fertilizer at the time of planting and every two weeks to encourage more blooming. And, of course, regular watering keeps the plants from drying out. In most cases, you would plant them six inches apart and they grow from six to eight inches tall. And, if you plant your summer annuals around your pansies, as the pansies get ‘leggy’ and your summer annuals get bigger and fuller, you’ll have a colourful garden from early spring until fall. Most pansies come in various shades of yellow, blue, white, red and purple and some with variations and blends of these colours. Use colour to your advantage. If you plant yellow pansies, for example, these blooms can be seen from far away or, they can lighten up a dormant corner. W hether looking for colour for a border or a rock garden, pansies are the “feel good” fl owers with their happy, welcoming “faces”. For inspiration for your garden design or planting information, go to www.fernlea.com, the pansy specialists. – News Canada Blooming borders: Pansies create early spring colour AIR CONDITIONING & HEATING 5 ALOMAR ST.

Homeowners and enthusiastic do-it- yourselfers often fi nd themselves in Pat’s Rent-All staring longingly at the complex and confusing choice of hardware that graces the walls. Do-it-yourselfers often have a fi rm grasp of what tools they will need to get the job done. Customers that have been frequent- ing Pat’s for several years tell us the best tool they have in their toolbox is the phone number of Pat’s Rent-All where the store gurus (James, Chris, Dave and Ray) always have the time and patience to recommend the correct tools for the job. Pat’s is a one stop shop of equipment and renovation wisdom. Th e staff at Pat’s always has an extra moment to describe how a tool func- tions, or to recommend the right materials for the job. “When staff members go the extra mile for customers it guarantees us a steady cli- ent fl ow and revenue stream,” says Ray Willis the new owner of Pat’s Rent-All. Ray says, “Th at we are truly blessed to live in a period where concept of ‘rental’ is well understood and well accepted by the popu- lation in general. More and more consum- ers are becoming increasingly aware of the advantages of ‘renting’ versus buying.” For the do-it-yourselfers that don’t have our phone number in your toolbox, here it is: 905-683-1631, or if your lawnmower, snow blower or other small engine is not functioning properly, you can call the same number.

The fair, held in Whitby’s Centen- nial Building, was a second for Dur- ham. By researching and presenting individual Canadian history projects, the fair allows students to learn and share information about national he- roes, milestones and achievements. The projects — which focused on anything from the late Ernie Coombs (Mr. Dress-up) to Canadian Japanese internment camps — were made by students in grades 4 to 8 from 10 Dur- ham schools. “I worry that we’re losing our his- tory, and we do have a rich history,” said Jennifer Maddigan, chairwoman of the Durham Historica Fair. “It’s not an American history, it’s not filled with violence, it’s filled with thinkers and doers. If there’s anything I can instill in these students, it’s to be a thinker and a doer.” Clara Lee, 14, from Valley View Public School in Greenwood, said she liked the idea of a learning experi- ence that was also fun. Her project, on Canada’s involvement in the Korean War, included the types of battles that were fought and stories of interest by Canadian soldiers. “I liked how the concept was to have students study Canadian heritage, and that they would learn more about Canadians and their land,” Clara said. “They actually have fun learning all the stuff, and then converting it into a project.” The Historica Fairs Program is di- vided into three components: region- al, provincial and national. Projects at the Durham Historica Fair were eval- uated by judges and a select few move on to the next round. The culmination is the national fair in mid-July. Ms. Maddigan said work is already being done for next year’s fair, which she suspects will occur in Ajax. Her hope is to get a school from every Durham municipality to take part. Meanwhile, a group of Sir William Stephenson Public School students from Whitby who were touring the fair said they were impressed by a majority of the projects. “A lot of them have a good amount of detail and a lot of hard work put into them — I say thanks for putting this together,” said Douglas Bryan, 13. Kate Stevenson, 12, who was drawn to a project on Laura Secord, said letting students pick their topics is one of the program’s more positive aspects. “I think it’s very cool because the kids can research what they want, and find out about what interests them,” she said. Ian Chislett, 13, said he was grabbed by the display on Rush, a Canadian rock band. “All the projects were well-re- searched and were demonstrated nicely,” he said. “It wasn’t boring and I didn’t sleep through it, so that was good,” he said.

Results: winners going to next level Greenwood student joins three others at provincial finalsl DURHAM — Four students from the Durham Historica Fair are head- ing to the program’s provincial com- petition, while a fifth will go to the nationals. The provincial entries are as fol- lows: Katie Crone, of Pringle Creek Public School in Whitby, for her project on the Dionne quintu- plets; Katherine Konn, of Trafal- gar Castle School in Whitby, for her presenta- tion on Canadian Women through the Ages; Lauren Wianecki, of Val- ley View Public School in Greenwood, for her work on Canadian lighthouses, and a fourth student who has yet to be named. Grade 8 student Alea Frauts of Tr- afalgar Castle School, who focused on Whitby’s Camp X, is the national entry. “We had a few little hiccups, but overall I think it went well,” said Jen- nifer Maddigan, chair of the Durham Historica Fair. “The feedback I’ve got- ten from the teachers so far has been very positive; they’re all anxious for next year.” Ms. Maddigan said the project on the Dionne quintuplets was a late entry, but one of her personal picks to go to the provincials. “When I had gone to Pringle Creek, I actually had a chance to see that particular project — it was one of my little wishes,” she said. “I stay out of the judging, but I was thrilled that this young lady’s going on. She really pulled it in quite nicely. The girls from Trafalgar did a great job as well.” Ms. Maddigan said some projects, such as the one on Canadian light- houses, were chosen by students be- cause they had personal connections to the topic. “(Lauren’s) mother spent summers in a lighthouse. One of her relatives owned one on the east coast and they’re dying out, they’re not restor- ing them, so she did her project based on that,” she said. The Ontario Historica Fair started We dnesday and runs until May 22 in Hamilton, while the national fair will occur in Saskatoon in July. Sharon Henry, who is a member of the Dur- ham Folklore Society, tells students from St. Anthony Daniels and St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Schools some native tales in one of the five workshops at the Durham Historica Fair at Whitby’s Cen- tennial Building last week. Students from 10 area schools en- tered Canadian history projects for judging in what was the second annual event. A.J.

Catherine Bawden, Esther Enyolu, Nancy Hughes, Bahi Krishnakhanthan, Lucia Lee and Mary Ann Nova re- ceived the YWCA honours. Also named were young women Danielle Bentley and Navtej Mudhar at the gala event held at the Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Fa- cility, in Whitby, on May 12. Chosen from 26 nomi- nees, the women were pre- sented with the Women of Distinction pins and recog- nized for their tireless efforts in their communities. Ms. Mudhar, a Grade 12 student at Dunbarton High School, in Pickering, has de- veloped anti-violence and anti-bullying programs, and is devoted to the promotion of peace through the under- standing of all cultures and races in the community. “I am lucky to be living in such a diverse region,” she said. “It is important that we contribute to the world... my contribution is to make a dif- ference. Ms. Bentley, a Grade 12 student at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax, is known for excel- lence in her academic and personal life and for her will- ingness to help others. Ms. Bawden is a sergeant with Durham Regional Po- lice and director of the newly formed domestic violence unit. She’s worked with the child abuse/sexual as- sault unit and told the audi- ence that she often derives strength for her job from the people she tries to help. Ms. Enyolu is the execu- tive director of the Women’s Multicultural Resource and Counselling Centre, which she founded 12 years ago.

She spreads her message of hope and encouragement to others, telling of her deter- mination to keep going and succeed when, at age 24, she was left a single mother of four young children. Ms. Krishnakhanthan came to Canada from Sri Lanka 22 years ago and over- came a series of challenges in her life, including being a single mother and suffering severe injuries in a car ac- cident. She has built up a ca- reer in the finance industry and continues her academic studies. She is a motivational speaker through Toastmas- ters. Ms. Lee is executive di- rector of Murray McKinnon Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing sup- port and resources to at-risk youth in the community. She also volunteers with other community organizations, has counselled victims of violence and teaches suicide prevention workshops. Ms. Nova, principal of R.A. Sennett Public School, over- came learning difficulties to pursue her education and become a teacher and then principal. She believes every person possesses values and strengths. “We all have one oppor- tunity in this world and we have to make that the best we can,” she said. Each year, the YWCA recognizes women in Dur- ham for their outstanding achievements. A/P PAGE 22 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 20, 2005 durhamregion.com Remembering the past...

This free, self-help walking pro- gram for people age 20 and over, is part of the annual nationwide Sum- merActive campaign, running from May 6 to June 20. “Walking is one of the best ways to be physically active — it can make you feel energized, relieve stress, and help you achieve and maintain a healthy body weight,” says Chris Arnott, a public health nurse with the health department. “Being active doesn’t have to be difficult, or take up large amounts of time. Adults simply need to build up to achieving at least 30 minutes of moderate phys- ical activity, preferably every day.” Studies show that walking is the most popular form of physical activ- ity, with 80 per cent of Ontarians re- porting walking as their most enjoyed type of exercise. However, a 2000-01 Canadian Community Health Survey indicates that 54 per cent of Durham residents are not physically active enough to achieve health benefits. All participants who qualify for the Walk This Way program will receive a walking kit to help them set personal goals and monitor progress. Those who register during the SummerAc- tive campaign will also receive a free pedometer.

Wa lk This Way to better health, fitness Michael Shaw pitches in wherever needed By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — For Margret Bernard, neighbour Michael Shaw is an angel in disguise. “He’s just an angel sent from God for me,” beams the Pickering resident of the Good Samaritan, who during the winter goes out of his way to shovel driveways for many of his neighbours. He doesn’t do it for recognition or re- ward, indeed Ms. Bernard didn’t know who was doing it until she came across him shovelling one morning. “He re- ally helps me tremendously, especially when there’s a big snowfall,” she said. “He’s got a helpful attitude, a good personality, and a giving spirit. He’s got a big heart,” continues Ms. Ber- nard. His kindness is not limited to the winter months, as Ms. Bernard attests. “He cuts the grass, he helped clean up my garage, he helped put up my mailbox,” she said. “He’s like a handy man in the neigh- bourhood, and you don’t have to ask him, if he sees that you need help he’ll just come over.” Though he doesn’t do it for any re- ward, Mr. Shaw is still touched when someone takes the time to say thank you. “It’s unexpected, and I love it. It makes me feel good,” he said. “People work, and I have time off. If someone needs help, I lend a hand.” If you have a story to tell about a Good Neighbour who has gone above and beyond to help someone in a time of need, let us know by e-mailing dstell@durhamregion.com.

Ajax 93¢ each every day Ajax event one of many to help fund her treatments By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — A Whitby woman whose life changed dramatically after being di- agnosed with cancer, cred- its the love and support of her family and friends for getting her through tough times. Cindy Mitchell was diag- nosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma seven years ago. Her life has been a whirl- wind of treatments and ap- pointments ever since and she has survived thanks to a lot of help. “Support from your friends and the community gives you strength,” said the 47-year-old. “People need support, and I’m rich in that. You feel like, ‘I don’t want to let them down’. It motivates you to try harder, to be there for them. It’s wonderful support.” For Ms. Mitchell, who has fought through che- motherapy and a stem cell transplant, that support has manifested itself in a vari- ety of ways. One example is her mother, who moved in to help her and take care of her children. Facing cancer, Durham woman shows courage “She was a mother figure, a role model for them when I couldn’t be,” Ms. Mitchell said. Also helping her were a multitude of friends who kept track of appointments and made themselves avail- able. “I’d have 20 people call- ing and saying, ‘can I drive you to your appointment today’?” When she ran into money trouble, her friends quickly organized a fundraiser. During her hospitalization for the stem cell transplant, friends from her hockey- playing days hosted an event in Ajax that featured a silent auction as well as musical entertainment. The event raised close to $7,000. Close friend Carol Hen- dry went so far as to camp out in her hospital room for a week of treatment. Ms. Hendry, a former nurse, as- sisted in her care. “She saved the health- care system an awful lot of money,” Ms. Mitchell said. A mother of three, Ms. Mitchell finds it hard to fully express her gratitude for all that her friends have done and continue to do for her. “What can I say but thank you,” she said. “When you don’t burn bridges, and try to be a good person, peo- ple remember you. Thank goodness it comes back to you when you really need it. There’s no way to ex- press how great and impor- tant that is. They’ve been shoulders to lean on.” Though she is still receiv- ing treatment, Ms. Mitchell looks toward her future with hope and a desire to repay all that has been given to her. “A person can’t do much more than give back,” she said. “Hopefully one day I’ll be able to give back to the community and do the same for someone else. Life’s changed a little bit, and I have to face the fact that I might not ever work full-time again, or do the things I love, like hockey. “It’s tough, but I’ll find other ways to be healthy and contribute.” Jason Liebregts/ News-Advertiser photo Cindy Mitchell, who has lived with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for seven years, credits the love and support of her family (like two of her children, Karen Inwood and Jacob Mitchell) and friends for keeping her going through the challenging times, which have included chemotherapy treatments and a stem cell transplant.

May 23rd Screening, wait times a concern in Durham and across Ontario By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Too little screening and too much waiting are among the key challenges identified in a new index that measures the quality of cancer care in Ontario, and both are is- sues that Durham officials believe will be addressed by the region’s new cancer cen- tre. The Cancer System Qual- ity Index unveiled recently, was developed by the Can- cer Quality Council of On- tario and Cancer Care On- tario, and is the first Web- based system of its kind in North America. The index compares care provided in 11 geographic areas, using 25 headings that measure such factors as accessibil- ity, efficient use of resources and patient outcomes. “This index is in line with the provincial government’s efforts to improve quality, accountability, reduce wait times and assist with region- al planning,” said Lakeridge Health CEO Brian Lemon. “The results of this first index will help us measure quality and performance improve- ments in subsequent years.” While Durham is on the list, Lakeridge officials cau- tion that the local data is slightly skewed on this first attempt, due to the inclusion of statistics from York and Simcoe. “It’s not focused closely enough on Durham this time... we expect that the next go round in six months’ time will be much more ac- curate,” said Dr. Peter Dixon, Vice President of Cancer Ser- vices at Lakeridge. “Things will also be different next year, when the cancer centre is open.” Despite having less than perfect data, Dr. Dixon said Durham is roughly on par with other areas when it comes to screening and wait times. He added that this isn’t necessarily a good thing, as all parts of the prov- ince need to improve in these areas. An aging population and the prevalence of un- healthy lifestyles is expected to push cancer rates higher in the coming years, mak- ing early detection key, es- pecially for cancers that are treatable if detected early. According to the index, Durham also falls slightly below the provincial average in the area of accessibility of services, with radiation treatment as a specific con- cern. “These are things that will be addressed by our new cancer centre.... That’s why we’re building it,” Dr. Dixon said. “It’s going for- ward, we’re building new programs all the time. The cancer story in Durham is quite a good one at the mo- ment.” The Cancer System Qual- ity Index can be viewed online at www.cancercare. on.ca/qualityindex. New cancer index measures quality of care Claremont pair experiences El Salvador Destination changes outlook on life By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — Two Cla- remont residents recently went on a life-changing journey. Rodney and Aleta Voss took part in World Vision’s ‘Destination Life Change’ program from March 4 to 13, travelling to El Salvador where they not only met the natives, but helped them build new homes. “It’s a really efficient and effective way of reaching the communities,” said Mrs. Voss. “It was really a privi- lege to be in their homes and to be able to meet them.” Mr. Voss also enjoyed meeting the people. “It’s enriching to visit the families, and to meet the children. It’s an amazing experience to speak with them, it’s pretty powerful,” he said. Mr. Voss was moved by the positive attitudes and bright spirits of the people, despite their meagre pos- sessions and means. “There are no buses, everyone has to walk to get anywhere,” he said. “A lot of kids will walk five to eight kilometres to school and back. School is their hope for a better stan- dard of living. “There’s a lot of joy in the eyes of the children,” he continues. “They’re amaz- ing people.” The Vosses aren’t strang- ers to volunteer work having run their own youth group, so they did not hesitate in deciding to take part. “North America is pretty wealthy, the majority of people don’t live like we do,” said Mrs. Voss. “We ap- preciated that and wanted to help out.” Mr. Voss agrees, and rec- ommends the experience. “It’s well worth the effort. It opens your eyes to what’s really important in life, and how you can make a differ- ence.” Get your golf swing sparkling DURHAM — Golf under the stars this summer.

P PAGE 28 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 20, 2005 durhamregion.com Shouldould councillorsors decideide their own wn payy?? By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — Wouldn’t you love a job where you were able to set your own salary? Municipal councillors are able to do just that. Across Durham, there are a va- riety of ways by which councils go about setting their pay rate. Several councils have made changes to their pay in recent months. Earlier this year, for example, Oshawa council received a raise. Though it was originally brought up at a not-so-public meeting, when word got out, council sent the mat- ter out to a consultant, who, for $24,000, came back with the recom- mendation to raise council salaries. Increases, including a base salary boost for all and another of approxi- mately $14,000 each for local coun- cillors serving two wards, were ap- proved by council. In Clarington, in December 2003, a motion came forward, late at night, after an in camera session, increas- ing the mayor’s salary by $10,000 in 2004. Councillors’ salaries were also increased through the motion. The salaries are tied to the Municipal workers’ collective agreements, so increases to the base come at the same rate, generally 2 to 3 per cent per year, as those given to unions. In Whitby, council tends to re- view its salary annually in Novem- ber. A municipal bylaw currently stipulates that the mayor and coun- cillors’ salaries are to be based on an average of the salaries of the five southern Durham Region munici- palities, said Don McKay, Whitby’s director of corporate services. That may change this November, since Oshawa’s new bylaw differentiates between councillors, by rewarding those who serve two wards with greater salaries. Because of the new difference, Whitby council may “have to alter the wording of the bylaw,” said Mr. McKay. The process by which council- lors set their salaries almost invari- ably meets public criticism. About the most recent Oshawa increase, former councillor Bruce McArthur said, “This is outrageous, what this council has done and how they’ve done it.” In 1999, said Mr. McArthur, council passed a motion tying wage increases to collective agreements with City workers. Then, coun- cil “totally ignored the bylaw and went right back to the day they were elected” in making the raises agreed to after the consultant’s report, ret- roactive. Council should have, as recom- mended by the consultant’s report, had an independent public com- mittee review salaries, said Mr. McArthur. “This is lining your pockets and feeding at the public trough like no other council,” said the former po- lice services board member, who served on Oshawa council from 1972 to 1985. Council salaries should be set by a provincial body, taking into con- sideration different populations and workload, said Clarington resident George VanDyk, in a letter to the editor during Oshawa’s salary pro- cess, noting the differences in sala- ries even across Durham Region. “This would create a uniform sal- ary across the province. It would do away with the system we have now where councils set their own wages,” he said. So, what is the right process by which to set salaries? In the private sector, the general approach is to look at comparable jobs and organizations to set sala- ries, said Ken Robb, vice-president of Human Resources at Durham College. “Either you purchase salary sur- veys or contact similar organizations in your sector and look at salaries for that sector,” he said. Then, pay for similar jobs outside the sector can be studied. Market and demograph- ic factors also play a role in salary determination, said Mr. Robb. “When you find the comparators, you find there’s a range ...so then, you identify how far into that range you want to go as an employer,” he explained. “You set the percentile based on what you think it’s going to attract people.” Employers also have to consider their track record for employing good employees. “The extent to which you can at- tract those good people tells you that you’re in the right percentile,” said Mr. Robb. Attracting good people to the job is important in the political arena as well, said Dr. Myer Siemiatycki, a municipal politics professor at Ryer- son University. “The issue of salaries for elected public officials has long been a con- tentious one,” said Dr. Siemiatycki, noting there are two traditional schools of thought on the matter. The first sees municipal public office as “almost community service or volunteerism,” said Dr. Siemi- atycki. As such, people who follow this school of thought believe the job “should have a minimal, almost honorarium attached to it,” he said. “You can still find that ethos alive and well in many school boards and municipalities,” said Dr. Siemi- atycki. But, there is another school of thought under which people believe municipal councils should be well- paid. “Over the last few years, there has been the recognition that council is big-league responsibility,” he said. “If you treated elected politicians as if they were the CEO of organiza- tions with multi-millions of dollars going in and out, then the (current) salaries are a joke.” Growth of municipalities trig- gered the change in how many people view municipal politicians, and thus, the pay rates, said Prof. Siemiatycki. “What it comes down to is, how do we see them — as glorified vol- unteers, or has municipal govern- ment become complicated enough that it’s almost become a profes- sional level?” he said. Paying salaries more appropriate to a part-time job skews the people who can run for office, as only those who can afford to work part-time are able to run, noted the professor. “My own personal preference is to pay a reasonable salary to signal this is a position of importance,” said Dr. Siemiatycki. It is a full-time job, said Jim Schell, who is on his third term on Clar- ington council, serving as regional councillor for Wards 1 and 2. Mr. Schell moved the motion on the most recent Clarington salary in- crease, after considering the salary for the mayoral position. “I felt that position was way under- remunerated,” said Mr. Schell. Having the responsibility for set- ting their own salaries is an uncom- fortable one, noted the long-time councillor. “It’s extremely uncomfortable, ex- tremely politically incorrect, to set our own salaries,” he said. The vast majority of municipal politicians aren’t in it for the money, said Coun. Schell. “Those who get in and stay in do it because of (a sense of) civic duty,” he said. PAY INCREASES FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS ALWAYS PROVOKE DEBATE. SO WHAT’S REALLY FAIR FOR THE WORK OUR REPRESENTATIVES DO? AND HOW CAN THEY GET IT WITHOUT OFFENDING A CYNICAL PUBLIC?

Variety is the key to shows and exhibits available next week By David Stell News Editor DURHAM — Patrons of the arts could be a little overwhelmed with their choices next week. It’s Arts Week in Ajax and Pick- ering and there’s no shortage of events or variety to enjoy. Watch artists paint, listen to any num- ber of genres of music and per- formances, or learn the history of the area and the ties one famous painter and his family have to Dur- ham Region: it’s all available. Both municipalities were eas- ily swayed to declare Arts Week in their communities, says Angie Littlefield, executive director of the Durham West Arts Centre. Along with the many arts groups in the two communities, she has crafted several events at DWAC to comple- ment a lineup of events being of- fered throughout the week. Key events from the Ajax Creative Arts, the PineRidge Arts Council and others have helped organizers reach their goal to offer a wide variety of events. “It wasn’t as difficult as I thought,” Littlefield says. “There’s really supportive organizations here and we want to highlight the strengths of the various arts in the area.” Of the many shows starting next week, a special highlight Littlefield points to is the Ajax Creative Arts ‘A r tists in Action’ show on May 25. Artists of the group will be drawing and painting original works right before the eyes of anyone who drops by their studio at 22 Sher- wood Rd. W. in Pickering Village. “It will be great for students to see these works, to see them at various stages, some nearly done, some in the middle,” she says. “It’s an opportunity to see artists at work.” Both communities will have a chance to enjoy ‘Off the Hinges’, a joint project of the Town of Ajax and the PineRidge Arts Council. When the event opens with three days of display at The Atrium, in Ajax Town Hall, they expect to have 25 doors all creatively altered by local artists. Joanne Dies, one of the organiz- ers of the project, explains the idea came about last year in discussions about how to artistically celebrate the town’s 50th Anniversary. “We asked ‘how can we high- light local talent’”, she says. “(And) doors have a lot of symbolism — to the past and the future.” The public gets a chance to view the doors Wednesday, May 25 to Friday, May 27 at The Atrium and on Friday at 7 p.m. there is an of- ficial opening of the exhibit. The ‘Thomsons of Durham’ ex- hibit is ongoing at DWAC and Lit- tlefield launches her own book on the subject during the week. The recently finished book is 60 pages, she says, and they have printed 1,000 copies. Aside from being an interesting read, she hopes it can be a resource in local schools. “It’s a feel-good book for peo- ple in Durham because it ties (the Thomsons) to the area so well.” The Thomson family, whose most famous member artist Tom Thomson was born in Claremont, will be celebrated in a special fish- ing exhibition as well, Thursday, May 26. The Thomsons were avid outdoorsmen and fishing expert Bob McGary is leading an eve- ning seminar on fishing heritage in the area, starting in the time of the Thomsons, in the 1830s, talk- ing about how techniques have changed over the years. That same night Dunbarton High School hosts a 7 p.m. performance by the school’s jazz and concert bands as well as the choirs. On Friday, May 27 and Satur- day, May 28, seven talented singers from the area will perform ‘Broad- way Glitter Songs from Broad- way’ at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church at 7 p.m. They are raising money for the Junior Diabetes As- sociation and that’s a cause close to the hearts of the performers, especially one member organizer Gary Faulkner says. Carol Rutledge lost her son to the disease, Faulkner says. She suggested the concerts donate to the cause and everyone thought it was a worthy cause, he adds. The show will feature Broadway music and a few other select piec- es. Faulkner says it’s music they love to perform. “We wanted to be able to per- form music that people don’t hear enough about,” he says. “It’s going to be a lot of fun.” durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 20, 2005 PAGE 29 A/P ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com FOR FULL MOVIE LISTINGS durhamregion.com Wednesday May 25 ART: Ajax Creative Arts is letting the public in to see about 50 art- ists create works in oil, acrylic and watercolours. ‘Artists in Action’ is at 22 Sherwood Road W. between 1 to 4 p.m. MUSIC: Guitarist Nick Cuda invites music lovers to a concert of music from his soon-to-be released third album, ‘Mattina De Caffe’.

Pickering swimmers shed time at world trials Wa rren Barnes fourth behind Olympian, sister Laura posts personal best in Montreal PICKERING — A Pickering brother and sister swimming duo posted personal best times against the best swimmers in Canada at the 2005 World Aquat- ic Championship trials in Mon- treal last weekend. Laura and Warren Barnes were two of eight Scarbor- ough Swim Club ath- letes who m ade the trek to Que- bec to com- pete at the trials, which was also a selection meet for the Canada Games swim team. Warren Barnes, 20, who’s at- tending the University of Pitts- burgh on an athletic scholarship, came up big in the 50-metre breaststroke. He finished fourth, just behind Canadian Olympian Morgan Knabe. Barnes achieved a new personal best time of 29.66 seconds in the process. The 50m breast winner, Mat- thew Huang, 21, of B.C., posted a time of 28.45 In the 100m breast, Barnes placed eighth in Canada in a time of 1:05.67. Laura Barnes, 17, a Dunbar- ton High School student, had an outstanding swim in her 200m breast. She finished 11th overall in a time of 2:38.34.

Held at Ajax High School, the banquet cel- ebrated the end of a successful season of rep play and was attended by players, parents, family, friends, coaches and club executives and Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. DCBA executive director Kevin Browne took care of the emcee duties. Players were selected for individual and team awards and two overall club awards. Individual awards were for academic, defence, leadership, most improved player, most valuable player, and sportsmanship. Club awards were for Mis- ter and Miss Basketball. Club president Nkosi Adams and Teran Richards made the presenta- tions. Winning MVP awards were Davion Parnsalu (novice), Myles Sterling (major atom 1), Sha- quille Redhead (major atom 2), Asher Tulloch (bantam), Matthew Leon (major bantam 1), Cee-Jay Williams (major bantam 2), and Ti- anna McFarlane of the ladies’ major midget Chameleons. Redhead was crowned Mr. Bas- ketball and Miss Basketball was Rhea Pascal. Mayor Parish handed out appreciation cer- tificates and Town of Ajax pins to the coaches and the many volunteers whose efforts were a big part of the club’s first year. Also highlighted were successes at the recent OBA Provincial championships in London. All seven DCBA teams participated, with the major atom 2 Bulldogs winning bronze and the major midget Chameleons silver. The club en- tered the championships relatively unknown by teams across the province and surprised es- tablished powerhouses with the skill and heart of its players. Representative of the club’s success was the major atom 2 team, which started out ten- tatively in October 2004 with disheartening losses. The team started to gel in January, when it took third place at the Peterborough Tourna- ment. Last March, the major atoms, made up of 10 and 11-year-olds, won silver at the Burling- ton Invitational and then in April, the bronze at the Provincials. Powered by point guards (Hayle twins Anthony and Chris, Joshua Pan- teleon, and Denver Wright), shooting guards (Kendell Wilson and Redhead), small forwards (Matthew Johnston and Michael Chambers), power forwards (Brandon Nunes de Souza and Steven Summerville), and centres (Austin Chambers and Jamal Mohamed) this ‘AA’-cali- bre team was a force to be reckoned with at the end of the season. Adrian Kwan, Jason Yee, and Immanuel Ekwenuke coached the team. Former Olympic high jumper Milton Ottey was the keynote speaker.

The champ’s team wins pit-crew competition devised by crew chiefs By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week MOORESVILLE, N.C. – The National Pit-Crew Championship Presented by Tyson wasn’t the officially sanctioned NASCAR event, but it was the event put together by the actual men who change the tires and refuel the cars at Nextel Cup and Busch Series tracks all across the country. The event, envisioned and devised by the Crew Chief Club, played to a capacity crowd – about 4,000 – at the Pit Instruction and Training Facility, and none of them had to pay to get in. Fans were encouraged to make charitable donations. The event will be shown on Speed Channel on Aug. 6. The winning pit crew represented the reigning champion. Kurt Busch’s team was made up of: Mark Full (front tire carrier), Scott Ward (front tire changer), Scott Radel (jackman), Doug Newell (fueler), Jim Gaudette (catch can), Kevin Gillman (rear tire changer), Jason Binger (rear tire carrier) and Wayne DeLoria (coach). The first-round winners were the Cup pit crews of Matt Kenseth, Michael Waltrip, Joe Nemechek, Kurt Busch, Jason Leffler, Jamie McMurray, Greg Biffle, Jeremy Mayfield, Matt Kenseth and Kasey Kahne, as well as the various driver Busch Series crews fielded by Kevin Harvick (No. 33) and Richard Childress (No. 21). The best first- round pit stop was by the McMurray crew, which changed four tires and filled a fuel tank in 15.992 seconds. McMurray’s team wound up being eliminated in the next round. The championship pit crew, representing Busch and Roush Racing, turned in a stop of 16.342 seconds. A bonus round – which could have netted one team a $500,000 bonus had one of them completed a stop in 14.436 seconds or less – went to Busch’s team, as well, though it did not manage to earn the bonus.
