Pickering teen thinks globally High test scores earn invite to American young leaders conference By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – Arsalan Shirazi is going to Washington. The Dunbarton High School student has been se- lected to attend the Global Young Leaders Conference hosted by the Congressional Youth Leadership Council The conference is designed for Grade 11 and 12 students who display academic promise and leadership po- tential. The College Board in the United States nominated Arsalan after he wrote the scholastic aptitude test (SAT). “That was the first time I heard of the conference,” he said. After he was sent informa- tion on the conference and learned more about it he be- come interested in attending. “I was excited because it was something new,” he said. “I felt honoured that the Col- lege Board nominated me.” The conference runs sever- al sessions in the United States, with participants vis- iting Washington, D.C. and New York City during the summer. Participants dis- cuss global issues with a se- nior member of the presi- dent’s administration, visit foreign embassies, exchange ideas with journalists in sem- inars on global communica- tions, and participate in in- teractive briefings at the United Nations.

Eugene Moses, known to friends as Dwayne, was a for- mer student of Durham Col- lege. He died Tuesday morn- ing at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto from gunshot wounds to the chest. Six men – five from Toronto and another from Ajax – are in police custody and have been charged with attempted murder and aggravated as- sault.

Myrna Picotte, president of Branch 606’s ladies auxil- iary, said the legion is look- ing to do something in the community to try and in- crease its profile. “There’s nothing out here like that so we decided to do it,” she said, adding they hope to make it an annual event. Ms. Picotte said organiza- tions are welcome to enter a f loat or get involved through sponsorship, while children are encouraged to decorate their bikes and join in the parade as well. “We envision it to be a fun day for kids to come out and enjoy,” she said. The planning for the pa- rade started two months ago and it will feature floats, clowns, and various bands, including army and cadet representatives. The parade starts at 11 a.m. on Sandy Beach Road in front of the Bay Ridges Long Term Care Centre and makes its way to the Legion at 1555 Bayly St. Those par- ticipating are asked to be there at 10 a.m. After the parade there is a brunch at the legion.

Sacred trust Huron Nation representative tells Pickering to keep a promise By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – The Huron Na- tion does not want any sacred land in Seaton touched as a result of the City’s growth management study. That’s the message David Grey Eagle Sanford brought with him to Pickering council Monday night. “I came to talk to you tonight because even if there is a management study... I’m bringing you a message tonight,” he said. I’m telling you once again they do not want these lands touched. This is a people’s land, a people’s history.” Mr. Sanford said there are numerous areas of cultural and heritage importance to the people of the Huron Na- tion within the study area. There are native burial grounds, areas with artifacts, but also land that holds a great deal of history. “If a certain people had a spiritual connection to the land that also applies,” he said. “We’re talking about one of the first Huron village sites in the province of Ontario.” He said before any land is touched the First Nations must be consulted. Mr. Sanford wanted to make sure the practices passed by council in Decem- ber 2002, which included pro- tecting and preserving all sig- nificant aboriginal cultural heritage and archeological sites when developing or re- developing land, are main- tained. “There are a lot of people out there who will pay a lot of money for this land: but do the right thing,” he said. Mayor Dave Ryan assured Mr. Sanford resolutions passed by council are upheld. “Certainly there are steps in place to protect known and unknown sites,” said Ward 3 City Councillor Dave Pickles. DAVE RYAN Council resolutions upheld. ✦See Ajax page A2 morning. Mr. Moses grew up in North York and played centre for both the On- tario Rugby Union’s under-18 squad and its under-21 squad, which took the national championship in Win- nipeg last summer. His teammates liked to call him ‘Diesel’. “He played with a lot of intensity on the field and he was a fun-loving guy off the field. We all liked him,” said union president Glenn Tarver. The Moses family declined to com- ment about the shooting, asking media to respect their privacy. A second victim, 23-year-old Stephen Barrington of Oshawa was discharged from hospital Tuesday after suffering gunshot wounds to the legs. Durham College/UOIT president Gary Polonsky visited Mr. Barring- ton and his sister in hospital yester- day afternoon. “I immediately took a liking to him. He was wearing a Winnipeg Jets jersey,” said Mr. Polonsky, who worked in Winnipeg prior to coming to Durham. Mr. Polonsky said the college stu- dent, who was working as a security guard at the pub on the night of the shooting, remains “upbeat and posi- tive” and plans to fulfil his dream of becoming a police officer. Witnesses said the shooting start- ed with a pushing and shoving match at the entrance to E.P. Tay- lor’s at around 1:25 a.m., just as a live-to-air event hosted by FLOW 93.5 FM went into high gear. “I saw an altercation between two people,” said a second-year student, who didn’t want to be named but was at the pub that evening after at- tending the annual athletics ban- quet. “I moved away from it. I glanced back. Then 10 seconds after I moved, I heard the shots.” Pub patrons were held inside the building until ambulances arrived, he said. “It was more of a shock than any- thing,” said the student. “Nothing close to this has ever happened at school. Of all the times, why a sports banquet after-party?” The suspects were spotted leaving the college in a stretch limousine. Durham Regional Police, with the help of Toronto Police, caught up to the limo as it exited Hwy. 401 at Kennedy Road in Scarborough and, in a high-risk takedown, officers ar- rested six men. One of the suspects had a gun- shot wound and was taken to a To r onto hospital, where he was later released into police custody. Nine kilometres of the 401 near Brock Road in Pickering was closed for several hours Saturday afternoon, as officers combed the highway on foot searching for items related to the shooting. The six men were “jointly charged” Monday with attempted murder and aggravated assault in connection with the incident. De- tails of the shooting are still sketchy. “We’re still not sure who was the shooter,” said Durham Regional Po- lice spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik. Police don’t know what set off the shooting or how one of the suspects ended up being shot, he said. In the meantime, professional counsellors are being called in to Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology today and tomorrow to help stu- dents who may be struggling in the aftermath of the shooting. There is also a 24-hour help line available, said Kathleen Bain, director of com- munications and marketing. The entire campus was closed to the public Saturday, but classes were held Monday. Only the student centre remains closed and will stay that way for most of this week to allow police to conduct their investi- gation. “It’s still pretty early. We haven’t made any decisions yet as to how things might change at the college in the future,” said Ms. Bain. “We think these are fairly isolated events.” Charged is Dennis Jackson, 27, of Commonwealth Drive in Toronto; Anthony Thomas Edwards, 22, of Hiawatha Road in Toronto; Dwayne Cumberbatch, 23, of Reese Avenue in Ajax; Matthew Okoko, 23, of Em- pringham Drive in Toronto; Milton Jackson, 31, of Commonwealth Drive in Toronto, and a 17-year-old male from Toronto who cannot be identi- fied under the Youth Criminal Jus- tice Act. Mr. Cumberbatch also faces one charge of breach of conditional sen- tence. The 17-year-old is also charged with breach of probation. All six were due in court for a bail hearing today at Ontario Court of Justice, 242 King St. E. in Oshawa. – With files from Jessica Verge A/P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, April 7, 2004 www.durhamregion.com PHONE ORDERS ACCEPTED HOURS Mon. - Wed. 10-6 Thurs. - Fri. 10-9 Sat. 10-6 Sun. 11-4 TWIN FULL QUEEN KING TWIN FULL QUEEN KING WITH ANY MATTRESS SET PURCHASED • Bed Frame • NO PST • Mattress Pad • Bed Rails • NO GST • Comforter • Layaway • Pillow • Set-up • Disposal or old set • Percale Set of Sheets • Local Delivery 4 FREE CHOICES Any COUPON ORTHOPEDIC 20 YR WARRANTY Single Double Queen King $ 239 $ 289 $ 349 $ 539 Set Set Set Set $ 389 $ 459 $ 549 $ 849 Single Double Queen King $ 179 $ 219 $ 279 $ 469 Set Set Set Set $ 319 $ 389 $ 479 $ 759 COMFORT SLEEP 15 YR WARRANTY Single Double Queen King $ 379 $ 489 $ 579 $ 709 Set Set Set Set $ 569 $ 699 $ 829 $ 1089 P O C K E T C O I L P I L L O W T O P P O C K E T C O I L P I L L O W T O P POCKET COIL PILLOW TOP 2 5 Y R W A R R A N T Y 2 5 Y R W A R R A N T Y 25 YR WARRANTY Electric Bed Ambassador Bed ON SALE ON SALE ON SALE $ 189 $ 189 $ 189 Bedroom Suite Iron Futon Sofa Complete Harvard Bunk Bed - Complete $ 1264 $ 1264 $ 1264 FINANCING ACCEPTED rrs TM B UY F ACTORY D IRECT A ND S AVE !!!

The Grade 12 stu- dent has applied to social science, international relations and political science programs at university and he might decide to go on to law school. “That’s why I think this confer- ence would be very beneficial to me, to see how these issues work on a global level - not just in the class- room,” he said. Now, Arsalan is working to raise enough money to cover the cost of the program. It is more than $3,000 Canadian and that doesn’t include transportation. “We have been saving for the con- ference,” he said. “It’d be very good to go to, but with university on the horizon without sponsorship it’d be something that would be difficult to attend.” He has written letters to MP Dan McTeague and MPP Wayne Arthurs, the representatives for Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge, and Pick- ering Mayor Dave Ryan for support. He has also applied for scholarships and financial assistance available through the conference. Local student thinking globally ✦ Local from page A1 Ajax man charged in shooting ✦ Ajax from page A1 Minister questions ‘obscene abuse of the people of Ontario’ DURHAM – Ontario Power Genera- tion Inc. paid a ‘dream team’ of U.S. nuclear experts nearly $40 million to fix Ontario’s under-performing nu- clear generators, company docu- ments show. While the dream team is long gone, the job they were hired to do, f ixing OPG’s nuclear generators, still isn’t finished and could cost bil- lions of dollars more to complete. Of the money shelled out to four U.S. experts, $17.5 million was for lump sum pension payouts, al- though most were only at OPG for three years. Tucked into the compensation was payment of home maintenance expenses for team leader Carl An- dognini in 2001 and 2002, including hydro bills. A furious Ontario Energy Minister Dwight Duncan said the money paid “was an obscene abuse of the people of Ontario. “Forty million dollars to help fix something, which as it turns out the fix was an abject failure. Forty mil- lion dollars could help a lot of people of modest income to deal with the hydroelectricity rate hikes they are faced with this month, resultant in large part to mismanagement of the hydro file over the years by the Har- ris-Eves government.” Part of the team’s job was restor- ing the mothballed Pickering A nu- clear station to service. It is years behind schedule and could run $3 billion over budget if completed. Only one of four units is working. Allan Kupcis, former chief execu- tive of Ontario Hydro and the man who hired the team, said the com- pensation reflected the market rate for specialized nuclear expertise at the time. He acknowledged that “something fell between the stools” in delivering the nuclear restoration program. Even OPG was deriding the team yesterday. “The performance (of the team) during the time, and the compensa- tion levels, were divisive within the company and demoralizing to union and management alike,” OPG vice- president Chuck Pautler said. “It’s something that OPG inherit- ed from Ontario Hydro in contracts with the individuals and we hon- oured those contracts.” The U.S. team, headed by Mr. An- dognini, was brought in by Mr. Kup- cis to assess the stumbling perfor- mance of Ontario’s nuclear genera- tors early in 1997. They delivered a damning assess- ment on the state of the nuclear fleet in August 1997, recommending that the Bruce A and Pickering A nuclear stations be shut down so OPG could concentrate on its other reactors. The day after their report was submitted to the Ontario Hydro board, Mr. Kupcis resigned. The ex- ecutive team was kept in place to fix the problems they had diagnosed. The following year, Ontario Hydro was broken up with OPG taking over all generating stations. According to OPG records, Mr. Andognini and his team were hired initially as contract consultants. But when Ron Osborne took over as OPG’s chief executive, he put the team on staff. Here’s a rundown of what team members were paid: Carl Andognini: Mr. Andognini received a total of $11.8 million in compensation for service from early 1997 to mid-2000, according to OPG records. The com- pany paid expenses for his house until it was sold in 2002. Mr. Andognini’s original contract called for a base annual consulting fee of $650,000 (U.S.) or $888,225 (Cdn) at March 1997 exchange rates. He also received a recruitment bonus of $200,000 (U.S.) or $274,000 (Cdn). In addition, he became eligi- ble for a lifetime monthly pension of $12,500 (U.S.) or $17,125 (Cdn) as of March 2001. The following year, when Mr. An- dognini came on staff as executive vice-president, his pension obliga- tion was paid off in a several lump sums totalling $4.8 million. Documents released under a free- dom of information request show that when Mr. Andognini moved back to Phoenix in 2001, OPG paid moving expenses of $231,906.05. It also paid him $460,000 for a loss on the sale of his house in November 2002. The documents don’t give the sale price, or explain how the house could have dropped in value. For 2001 and 2002, OPG paid maintenance totalling $32,419.40 on the house; taxes of $10,614.29; and utilities including $1,471.42 for hydro. Starting in January, 2000, Mr. An- dognini reverted to contract status at OPG at a rate of $93,000 (U.S.) a month. OPG records show he received about six months of work. Mr. Andognini and other mem- bers of his team were all eligible for long-term incentive plan bonuses. That plan has been killed. Eugene Preston: Originally a consultant, Mr. Pre- ston became chief nuclear officer and was the longest-serving mem- ber of the team, staying until Octo- ber 2002. His total compensation for the pe- riod was $14 million, according to OPG records. That included a $6- million lump sum payout of his pen- sion. He received $300,000 in reloca- tion expenses to the U.S. after he left OPG. His salary and bonuses to- talled $7.5 million. Preston received $95,000 to com- pensate him for a loss on the sale of his house in June 2003. No value is given for the house, nor any expla- nation of how its value could have declined. His moving expenses were $53,660.88. Richard Machon: Mr. Machon was a senior consul- tant who then became an “execu- tive” when taken on staff. His total compensation was $8.3 million. Of that, $3.2 million was salary and $4.6 million pension payout. Warren Peabody Hired as a senior consultant, then an “executive,” Mr. Peabody’s total compensation was $5.4 million. That included a $2.1 million lump sum for retirement. Mr. Kupcis said he hired Mr. An- dognini and his team because they had experience in restoring under- performing U.S. nuclear reactors. “The market for these kind of peo- ple all over the States was pretty high,” he said. “The board agreed we needed these people to take a look at what had to be done at Pickering. “I wanted them to do the assess- ment,” Kupcis said, which he esti- mated would be a six-month job. It was the hydro board that decided to keep them on, since Mr. Kupcis left once the assessment was delivered. Mr. Duncan criticized the former Conservative government for hiding the payouts. The Liberals have opened OPG to freedom of informa- tion requests. He said no matter how “distaste- ful” it might be, it is cheaper to abide by the contracts than try to fight them. “I can’t say... that I can recover this money because there were con- tracts, but what is incumbent on me and this government now is to get this train back on the tracks. OPG is a mess. These are just symptoms of a bigger problem... this kind of con- tinued mismanagement is probably the greatest threat to our electricity future and we can’t afford that going forward,” he said. - Torstar News Service www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, April 7, 2004 PAGE A3 A/P PINE RIDGE GARDEN GALLERY 2215 Brock Rd.

Child nutrition program relies on community support By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – Caroline Davidson makes a snack for the kids once a week - all 550 of them. A St. Paul’s United Church parish- ioner, she volunteers at Bolton C. Falby Public School’s healthy snack program, cutting up apples, count- ing crackers and otherwise prepar- ing food early Monday mornings. Re- tired, Ms. Davidson says her reward is the smiles on young faces, noting it’s a much more personal way of helping out than donating to a cause. “It’s quite different than giving a couple of bucks for something,” she says. Durham’s Child Nutrition Project (DCNP) recently recognized 94 Durham businesses, faith groups, service clubs and others who helped feed thousands of Durham children last year, providing funds, food and volunteers to Durham schools that offer breakfast and healthy snack programs. “We are thrilled to recognize such a large number of organizations that support child nutrition programs,” says Stephanie Miskew, DCNP coor- dinator. “This truly speaks to the commitment from our community to ensure children in Durham are able to attend school well nourished and ready to learn.” At Bolton C. Falby, the snack pro- gram runs four times a week and every one of the school’s students takes part. Roughly 20 volunteers from St. Paul’s play a pivotal role. “It’s one of our ways of outreach, of giving back to the community,” says Gladys Snelling. “St. Paul’s is the church with the open arms.” A member of the church’s Out- reach and Social Action Committee, she coordinates the volunteers, en- suring that five per day are available to help out at the school. She says two volunteers shop for the food, getting a discount at the No Frills store. “We always try to get at least three food groups (in every snack),” says Ms. Snelling. The school used to offer a break- fast program, but found that many students didn’t show up because there was a stigma attached to it. That’s despite the fact that it’s not only poor kids who don’t eat right, but also kids from busy families or those who don’t like eating in the morning before school. In Pickering, major supporters of breakfast and snack programs at five local schools include Canadian Tire, Wal-Mart and Budget Car and Truck Rentals. Breakfast for Learning, the Cana- dian Living Foundation, provided DCNP with $90,644 in the year end- ing March 31, with virtually all of that funding coming from the On- tario government. Ms. Miskew esti- mates that DCNP will receive about $80,000 in financial and in-kind sup- port in 2004 from 22 partner organi- zations, agencies and businesses.

Each nominee must be at least 18 years of age, (unless the nomination is for the Young Women of Distinction award), have a signifi- cant connection to and have made a contribu- tion in Durham Region during the past year, consent to nomination (no posthumous nomi- nations will be accepted) and not be a previ- ous award recipient, although nominees from prior years may be re-nominated. Nominators should focus on demonstrating their nominee’s individual achievements, con- tributions to the well being of the community and contributions as role models for other women. Nominators are not required to desig- nate a category or field in which the nomina- tion is being made, except for the Young Woman of Distinction Award. Nomination forms can be picked up at the YWCA of Durham, 33 McGrigor St., Oshawa.

Editorial Editorials &Opinions WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Letters to the Editor Six-figure club is now outdated Reporting every public servant making over $100,000 unnecessary Is anyone in the public sector not making $100,000? One could be forgiven for asking such a question given the huge jump over 2002 in the number of civil servants making six figures in 2003. While it's obviously not to the point that everyone is in the once-exclusive club, the time has come to look at this benchmark num- ber for public disclosure. Hundreds and hundreds of names are on the list this year, and that's just Durham Region. Across the Province there are thousands more. When first introduced back in 1996, the intention of the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act was to give taxpayers a better idea of how their money was being spent. Resi- dents could keep tabs on how much their municipal man- ager, fire chief, local Crown attorney, hospital president, etc. was making year over year, and compare it to others in similar jobs across the province. The exercise certainly brought remuneration into the spotlight here in Durham, with Oshawa, for one, re-exam- ining the way it paid senior staff after great public outcry over the amount the City paid its former City manager. So, from that standpoint, the annual list has proved to be a useful resource to taxpayers. What the list never took into account, however, was in- flation, unexpected disasters like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the August blackout, and other pressures that have only served to bump up the pay of all civil servants, not just the managers of departments and governments. As a result, now, it's just as common to see the names of constables, nurses, and school principals popping up. At Ontario Power Generation alone, the final list will likely have thousands of names. Basically, this list is increasingly being populated by people who've worked long hours of overtime to hit the six-figure mark, and a public airing of their salaries just isn't fair. The act was designed to keep tabs on the offi- cials ultimately responsible for making the province go, not the behind-the-scenes individuals who actually put their plans into action. What is needed now is a refresher look at the act to bring it up to today's standards. The Province could es- tablish guidelines for setting a dollar figure each year that is more in line with inflation. Or it could publish a list of senior managers making more than $100,000. Or it can head off in another direction. What it can't do is sit back and rest on the standards currently in place. It has different options at its disposal, but it now must act. Eight years ago $100,000 was an acceptable standard for the publishing of salaries. Now, the line in the sand is out of touch with our vastly different world. Deconstructing society To the editor: Re: 'Marriage should be about love,' letter to the editor, April 2. I find Donna Baydak's logic difficult to follow. According to her, "we are allowed to interpret ancient teachings and modern dictionary definitions in our own ways." One can only wonder at the chaos into which society would disintegrate if the meaning of words were subjected to individ- ual scrutiny. Ms. Baydak then proceeds to instruct readers on what is true about the ways chil- dren learn and what is required for a loving marriage. I once debated the meaning of truth with a colleague. To him, there are no absolute truths - the truths he constructs out of his life experiences and knowledge are no less valid than mine, or yours, or the ones that have been handed down through the years. He called this way of thinking 'constructivism.' I saw it as de- constructive. Ms. Baydak instructs us in her understanding of what is true and right regarding marriage, and why her definition includes same-sex unions. Others, includ- ing me, disagree with her belief and see marriage as a loving, pro- creative union meant for one man and one woman. Whose truth is correct? Are they both? Are all definitions, ancient teach- ings, and institutions never ab- solute? Jesus Christ said, "I am Truth." Attendance at Christian church- es has dwindled over the last 40 years. G.K. Chesterton said, "When men cease to believe in God, they do not believe in noth- ing; they believe in anything." I see same-sex marriage as just one example of the ongoing de- construction of long-held truths; the framework of our society. We deconstruct at our peril. David Wilson Pickering Growth study has many problems To the editor: There are several problems with the Pickering growth man- agement study if one really reads through the details and carefully studies the drawings. If development proceeds as proposed it will deteriorate the existing ground and surface water resources. This is a deteri- oration the developers are will- ing to accept, but they don't have to live with. Present greenspace will be de- g raded further and existing wildlife pushed out further. It is a bid to defeat or get around the provincial Green Space Protec- tion Plan and pacify the devel- opers left out of the Tory Seaton land swap deal. The proposal will expose, not protect, First Nations archeological sites and turn them into mini-parks and playgrounds, which is exactly what triggered the tragedy at Ipperwash. It will mean higher taxes all around to finance roads, schools, sewage, etc. And Pick- ering council is already crying poor when it comes to road re- pair. The transit proposal is closely tied to a Pickering air- port, a subject Pickering council is silent on. It also does not ad- dress hydro energy shortages. The proposal is too developer friendly. The developers take all the profits, yet there are zero dollars coming into Pickering coffers for the environmental damage that development tech- niques will cause. This is a proposal that needs closer scrutiny by the public. Harvey Kirsch Pickering Education cost out of reach To the editor: Planning on attending or send- ing your children on to post-sec- ondary education? How are you going to be able to afford it? Are you finished learning because the government won't help out? These are questions asked every day by parents and stu- dents across the world. How are you supposed to go to post-sec- ondary education if your family can't afford it? College and uni- versity prices are too high. That's outrageous! Children are the future of the world and without a good education, what are they good for? Sure there are wealthy people out there, but not everyone has the money to cough up to send their kids to school, There are some low-income fami- lies with more than one child in need of government support. Finally, Finance Minister Ralph Goodale said Ottawa is coming up with a 'Canada Learn- ing Bond' that will supply chil- dren, in low-income households, and born after 2003, with up to $2,000 for their post-secondary education. This program will help more then two-million chil- dren, and it's about time. Lindsay Yarmoluk PickeringEditorial cartoon Iwonder when exactly the chocolate manufacturers got their messy little hooks into Easter. I understand where the whole egg thing comes from. It actually has some historical le- g itimacy, dating back to the pagan celebrations of fertility in the spring, but I haven't yet fig- ured out what exactly chocolate has to do with Easter. I hate to be a cynic but I'm be- ginning to think it has very little to do with Easter, maybe noth- ing. Maybe it's just another ugly ploy to sell yet more refined sugar to an already obese public. Of course I could be wrong. I hope I am wrong. I'm no histori- an after all. I mean, I suppose it's possible the apostles all got up on the morning after Christ's crucifix- ion and had a little chocolate egg hunt before hiding from the Roman centurions and the angry mob. You know, just to take the edge off. Or maybe, once Jesus rose from the dead and appeared amongst his followers he was hungry. You have to figure that after a guy spends three days in a tomb, he's gonna be a little peckish. And maybe all they had to eat at Mary's place or Peter's place (again, I am unclear on the details) was some chocolate. That could happen couldn't it? No, I don't think so either. The closest I can come to find- ing any rationality for having chocolate poking its sticky head into the business of what is ar- guably the highest holy day for practising Christians, is that it is a distraction. Easter is not an easy occasion for parents. It's not like Christmas, for in- stance, when most parents take great joy in telling and retelling the story of Santa and Rudolph and the birth of the baby Jesus. Those are great stories. There's no downside to those stories. Kids love hearing them. Easter is a little different. A guy dies in this story, in a pretty nasty way. Oh sure, it's got a very cool ending - probably one of the best endings ever. But you still have that bit in the middle with the flogging and the nails and the cross to get through. That part can be very upsetting. And if it wasn't upsetting before, Mel Gib- son has made doubly sure it is now. So, how to help kids through the death and the pain and the suffering and get them to the good part at the end of the story? Enter chocolate. Nothing takes away the weight of the sins of mankind like a little crème egg. I'm not, as I think is abundant- ly clear, a particularly religious person. But I am a very spiritual person. And I like Easter. I like it because it has weight. I like it be- cause in the richness and full- ness of its metaphor it vividly speaks to things that really mat- ter in this life. Sacrifice, love, pain and the immense power of the human spirit. I don't think that needs anything else. No hype, no bells and whistles, no chocolate. Believe it or not some things really are better without any sugar coating. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

The first incident was just before mid- night April 2. Three males entered the Becker’s store on Finch Avenue in Picker- ing and police report one of the suspects struck the clerk several times with a black handgun. A quantity of cigarettes and cash were taken and the suspects fled on foot. The suspects are described as male, black between 18 and 20 years old. The suspect with the gun was wearing a black hooded sport jacket, blue jeans and black shoes. The second suspect was wearing a black jacket, white pants and black boots. The third suspect was wearing a white jacket, black pants and had short hair. The 45-year-old male clerk, who also had his wedding ring stolen, received minor injuries. In another incident, three Pickering men, aged 20, 22 and 23, reported being assaulted at an industrial mall on Brock Road April 3 at about 8 p.m. The police report two men took the vic- tims’ wallets and punched and kicked them before fleeing on foot. None of the victims sustained serious injuries. The suspects are described as black and approximately 5-foot-6. One was wearing pantyhose over his head, dark clothing with big winter gloves, winter boots and a big parka with a hood. The second suspect was wearing a white ban- dana, dark thin gloves and a white tuque. In the third incident, a man entered a Cango Gas Bar on Kingston Road in Pick- ering April 4 at about 6:30 p.m. and threatened the 20-year-old male clerk with a knife. Police report a small quantity of cash was stolen and the suspect fled on foot. The suspect is described as black, wear- ing a tuque close to his eyes and a black scarf or turtleneck over his mouth. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a pocket on the front and black pants. Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to call 905-683- 9100 and speak with either Detective Theron Mounsey of the Ajax Pickering Community Police Office’s criminal inves- tigations bureau at ext. 2529 or Detective Gil Hughes of the major crime robbery unit at ext. 5359.

The program, which was launched in B.C. March 15, is called Tell Mom Services, and it’s the brainchild of Kamloops residents Bryan and Wendy Rairdan. Now, for an annual $80 fee, Tell Mom will provide a bumper sticker with an identification number and toll-free phone number. When other drivers or pedestrians see a car with the sticker being driven unsafely by a teen, they can call the toll-free number, punch in the identification code, which is unique to each vehi- cle, and leave a voice mail for the corresponding registered parent. “There’s a missing link in the chain of communication between members of the public and parents of teen drivers,” says Mrs. Rairdan, 32. She and her 30-year-old mining engineer husband have no children. Since the service began, seven parents have registered and Mrs. Rairdan says she’s been on the phone ever since. “I’ve been on the phone receiving phenomenal support from B.C. to Saint John, N.B.,” she says. “Of course, some of the teens are not happy about their parents register- ing, but it’s all about promoting safety.” She describes her role as that of “a conduit” between the public and concerned parents, and cites Trans- port Canada’s 2002 statistics, which recorded 331 teenage fatalities as the result of collision and 30,000 injuries. Mrs. Rairdan, who worked as a nurse before developing the new ser- vice, is also working on creating stickers for motorcycles. “It’s a place for anybody who wants a sticker for any reason,” she says. When asked if young people might feel the bumper sticker on the vehi- cle they’re driving suggests a lack of confidence from their parents, Mrs. Rairdan says she’s already dealt with the question. “One parent said there was a trust issue involved, but by the time she left my office, I had her turned around,” she says. “Trust has noth- ing to do with inexperience.” Nancy Codlin, president of Moth- ers Against Drunk Driving in Durham Region says she hasn’t heard of the program, but noted that several free programs already exist to report on bad driving. “For impaired, (MADD already has Operation Lookout, and there’s Crime Stoppers and Road Watch,” she says. Ontario Provincial Police Staff Sergeant Dave Durant agrees. “We already have the police for the public to call...” says the veteran offi- cer. “And if a uniformed officer comes to the door and talks to Mom and Dad, it has an impact. In my own experience as an investigator, when there was a complaint, I’d meet with the teenager with Mom and Dad present. Having a uni- formed officer walk into your kitchen and have a discussion has more of an impact if it’s free.” Right now, Mrs. Rairdan is devel- oping contacts and says she’s made some presentations in informal so- cial settings. She hopes one day to speak to young drivers in schools. “It’s a passion,” she adds. How Tell Mom works DURHAM – Parents pay $80 to regis- ter with Tell Mom Services and to receive a bumper sticker with a unique identifica- tion number and a toll-free phone num- ber: 1-866-YOU-2-MOM. The bumper sticker on a teen’s car allows the public to place a free call, enter the identification number and leave a voice message for the parent about the unsafe driving they witnessed the your driver commit. Tell Mom’s call centre system then automatically sends an e-mail to parents alerting them to new messages which they are able to retrieve by calling the same toll-free number and entering their own individually assigned code.

No bull: Businessman buys Belleville squad Lenbrook Group’s Simmonds among OHL team’s new ownership group By Brad Kelly Staff Editor DURHAM —The first thing the new owners of the Belleville Bulls are going to do may come as a shock to some people. "We're going to be buying season tickets," declares Gord Simmonds of the first order of business his owner- ship group needs to tend to. And it may also come as a surprise that those seats won't be the best in the building. "Buying season tickets has been a tradition in Belleville and that is going to continue. There is a waiting list for good seats and it's a long wait- ing list. I don't even know exactly where we are going to be sitting." Simmonds, a 43-year-old Uxbridge resident, along with business col- leagues Bob Vander Slagt of Port Perry and Dennis Hill of Ajax-Picker- ing, purchased 70 per cent ownership of the storied OHL franchise from Dr. Robert Vaughan, who maintains the remaining 30 per cent. The deal is set to close late next month, pend- ing league approval. While the new owners have vowed to work together in their latest ven- ture, Vander Slagt and Hill have opted to stay in the background, pre- ferring to let Simmonds speak on be- half of the group. Simmonds is the CEO of the Lenbrook Group of electronic com- panies located in Pickering. He is also chairman of the Vital Links Cap- ital Campaign that is attempting to raise $34 million for the Rouge Valley health system for redevelopment of the Ajax-Pickering site. Talks to purchase the Bulls began in late-February, says Simmonds, with the two sides reaching an agree- ment on March 20. The price was less than $3.5 million. The idea to purchase an OHL team as a private investment was ac- tually hatched more than three years ago, admits Simmonds, with some initial interest in buying the Oshawa Generals. But when negotiations didn't seem to be going anywhere, the group shifted its focus to Belleville at the suggestion of OHL commissioner Dave Branch. "We went to a game and it just de- veloped from there," says Simmonds, who was raised in Epsom, but went to school in Port Perry and played hockey in Uxbridge during his youth. One of the more appealing aspects of the franchise was its location in a smaller community, something all three owners could relate to. "We all have a high level of respect for the Belleville franchise," notes Simmonds. "It has been successful and intriguing for the people around the league because it is a smaller centre team. "We all live in smaller communities and don't feel like big city people and that is what intrigued us about Belleville. It has a neat feel. "We bought this for the long-term to see if we can make it a business success in what people consider a smaller centre." The group will work towards putting a management team in place to operate the team, and will rely on the experience of Dr. Vaughan, whose family has owned the team since its inception into the league in 1981. "We only had interest in buying the team if we had a local partner," says Simmonds. "It will help bridge the gap that is obvious with us not living there." As for the obvious question of the team remaining in its current loca- tion, Simmonds says, "it is absolutely our intention" to keep the team in Belleville. In regards to changes to coaching and management, Sim- monds praised the current staff as being "fantastic" but did add that there is an "assessment phase" un- derway. While those changes will sort themselves out over time, one thing that Simmonds doesn't anticipate changing is the character of the new owners. Even with the latest venture, they are still the same guys they were before all of this unfolded. "We don't anticipate that it's going to make major changes in who we are or what we do," he says. "We love the communities we live in and will re- main involved and active in the com- munity." A.J.

World champion adds Ontario crown to athlete of year awards list PICKERING —The accolades keep piling up for Pickering Olympian and two-time world champion Perdita Felicien. Last Saturday, the 23-year-old hurdler picked up another award, as top female athlete of the year at the 37th annual Ontario Sports Awards at Ontario Place in Toronto. Nominated by the Ontario Track and Field Association, Felicien was chosen over two others: triathlete Lisa Bentley, of Caledon, and tram- polinist Karen Cockburn, of Toronto. Late last month, Felicien was also chosen as the female athlete of the year at the 31st annual Canadian Sport Awards in Toronto. And, late last year, she was recog- nized as the 2003 Canadian Press fe- male athlete of the year, in part for winning the 100-metres hurdles title at the IAAF world championships in Paris last August. Felicien was also one of 12 people honoured with a Harry Jerome Aw ard, which recognizes excellence in the black community. She was one of five to receive awards as a youth trailblazer. She's currently back at the Univer- sity of Illinois in Champagne where she's finishing her kinesiology stud- ies, while also continuing her train- ing under coach Gary Winckler in ad- vance of the 2004 Olympic Summer Games in Athens. Later this month, she'll participate in the Drake Relays in Iowa April 22, where, in 2003, she made history as the first athlete to ever claim titles in the university section and invitation- al sections of the same event, the 100m hurdles. NOTES: Three local people were also recognized with Syl Apps Spe- cial Achievement Awards at the On- tario Sports Award ceremonies. Michael Flynn, of Ajax, earned his award for his work in judo. He was nominated by Judo Ontario. Mean- while, Elvin Pompey, of Pickering, re- ceived his award for his work in the local cricket community. He was nominated by the Ontario Cricket Association. Doug Wilton, of Picker- ing, received his award for his in- volvement with Paralympics On- tario. Another honour for Felicien Victory clinches hoops season finale AJAX —The Ajax Ladies' Basketball League closed out regular-season play with a flourish. Mathematically, Scotiabank had a chance to finish first overall, but it would require Donlands Jewellers to defeat Select Food Products in the first game, followed by a Scotiabank win. Donlands worked hard to play the role of spoiler against an equally de- termined Select side. Select scored first and held the lead until late in the second half when Carla Harrison hit for two points giving the jewellers a 35-34 lead. In the last 30 seconds, with the game tied 37-37, Julie Hughes received a pass and cut across the top of the key before taking a jump shot for two points and drawing the foul. Hughes deposited the shot to give Select a 40- 37 victory, and thus sealing its posi- tion as top in the league. Lana Ed- monstone (18 points) led the jewellers in scoring; while Sue Nowry (11 points) hit her jump shot from inside and outside the paint. Sonia Thomas and Tiina Henkusens had 10 and eight points, respectively, for Select. East Side Mario's jumped out to an early lead against Scotiabank in the second game. The bankers, however, kept pouring it on and finally over- took East Side in the second half. Mario's responded gamely and the lead changed hands in the final few minutes no less than five times. Scotiabank, up by a single point, went to a man-to-man defence in an attempt to deny the inbound pass. On Mario's third attempt to inbound the ball, the first two attempts having been negated by fouls, they were suc- cessful in getting the ball to Lori Lomberg at half court. Lomberg weaved around traffic before looping in a left-handed lay-up to close out the regular season with an impressive 32-31 win. Jump shooter Engrid Carmichael Johnson set the pace for Scotiabank in the second game with 16 points. Lomberg countered for the restau- rateurs by driving the lane for 13 points.

Ajax-Pickering bantams dump Clarington Toros in deciding game DURHAM —The Ajax-Pickering Raiders Por tly Piper minor bantam 'AAA' rep hockey team captured the Eastern Ontario 'AAA' (ETA) playoff championship with a 7-4 win over the Clarington Toros in Ajax last Sun- day. With the championship on the line in the best-of-three series, the Raiders came out f lying, scoring five unanswered goals to start the contest. Blake Boddy and Jordan Reed scored two goals apiece to lead the attack; lone markers were scored by Chris Bunce, Tyler Milanovic and Steven Flowers. Johnny Simone earned four assists, Milanovic added two, and Jeffery Short, Brent King, Aaron Pierce, Flowers and Boddy one each. Sean Molony picked up the win between the pipes. Making solid two-way contributions up front were Kyle Hay, Andrew McLeod, Andrew Delis. Matt Hen- nesey, Bobby Gertsakis and Bobby Bois supplied solid defensive play. The Raiders opened the se- ries April 1 with a 4-3 win on home ice. Boddy led the attack with two goals and an assist. Greg Waller and Simone chipped in with singles. Milanovic and Reed each recorded two assists, while Flowers and Si- mone each added one. Johnny Humphrey earned the win in net. The Toros took advantage of a steady stream of Raider penalties in a 5-1 home-ice win in Bowmanville April 3. Pierce had the Ajax-Pickering goal, assisted by Flowers and Milanovic. The Raiders finished third in the ETA standings with an 18-10-4 record, but couldn't get past the defending OMHA champion Richmond Hill Stars in the first round of the OMHA playoffs. Ajax-Pickering, however, played outstand- ing hockey through the ETA playoffs to cap- ture their first major championship in 'AAA' series play in more than five years. The Raiders finished with a 42-23-6 overall record. Ian Fletcher, Tim Rinneard and Bob Hen- nesey coach the Raiders. The manager is Jill Boddy.

The Panthers defeated the Markham Waxers 5-1 in the semifi- nals. Luening scored twice, with sin- gles to Guerriero, Bryan Knopf and Dimopoulos. Aidan Massé added three assists, while Adam Watson had two and Adam Spiers, Khalid Alli and Guerriero each had singles.

See page B10 Supporters celebrate new address to showcase local talent By Stephanie Mason Special to the News Advertiser AJAX –Ajax and Pickering's highly anticipated home of the arts has ar- rived. Take a seven-member jazz combo, a room full of politicians, two pio- neers, local artists, and former Guess Who guitarist Dale Russell and you have the grand unveiling of a centre for the arts. In Ajax's Pickering Village, at 72B Old Kingston Rd., the Durham West Arts Centre opened its doors to the public April 2, in just that fashion. "Everyday has new beginnings," said Tom Reed, a principal at Dun- barton High School and president of Pickering's Rotary Club. The club do- nated money to the centre. "I look upon today as a new beginning." Sculptures, live music, pastel and oil paintings are just a few forms of art at the gallery. "The arts are from all over the area," said Edward Falkenberg, chairman of the Durham West Arts Centre on Durham's wealth of talent. Mostly all of the artwork on display will be for sale. "We were asked to come today to provide colour," said Julie Oakes, a local artist and board member with the Backwoods Players. Adding a little flavour is just what Mrs. Oakes is passionate about. She came dressed as a pioneer. "I think it (art) adds richness to people's lives," she said. "People need beauty and beauty is visual and per- forming arts." The DWAC will give local artists an outlet and help them to expand upon their existing talents. It will also be an office for the PineRidge Arts Council and a boardroom for art groups. It's the first step towards a long- term project, according to Judy Scott- Jacobs from the Trillium Foundation. "A r tists and building artists in the community are so delighted to dis- play their artwork," she said. Among those spearheading the project were David Stone, president of Ajax Creative Arts, who first pro- posed the idea, John Sabean, presi- dent of the Pickering Township His- torical Society, and Mr. Falkenberg. The gallery is open to the public and also welcomes students through- out Durham to participate, such as Pickering High School, whose jazz group performed during the opening ceremony. "Youth are our future," said Angie Littlefield, the new executive director of the DWAC. "Anyone who will work with us, we'll work with them." The centre received a commitment of $75,000 from Pickering Rotary, along with $150,000 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and $50,000 from both Ajax and Pickering. The municipalities are spreading the funds over a two-year period. For more information, call Ms. Lit- tlefield at 416-282-0646 or e-mail a.lit- tlefield@rogers.com. Art is at the heart of this centre Angie Littlefield and Edward Falkenberg are just two of the supporters of the Durham West Arts Centre who introduced it last week.

DURHAM –The Oshawa Horseless Carriagemen group holds its 55th Annu- al Show this month. Made up of members from across Durham Re- gion, the Carriagemen per- form shows at 1:30 and 8 p.m. Saturday, April 24, in the Eastdale Collegiate Au- ditorium in Oshawa, corner of Harmony Road and Ade- laide Street. The group's featured quartet is an international champion, with 'Fred', from Atlanta, Georgia, specializ- ing in comedy. For tickets, call 905-666- 4779 or e-mail rick- joka@sympatico.ca, by April 7. Tickets will be mailed a week or two before the show. Remember the three Rs: Reuse, reduce and recycle Horseless Carriagemen ride in for show Auditions start soon for latest Backwoods Players production and museum fund-raiser By Stephanie Mason Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING –Pickering's community theatre group, the Backwoods Play- ers, need actors and actresses to try out for its whodunit play, 'Don't Say MacBeth.' Written by Wyrd Sisters Produc- tions, consisting of Julie Oakes, Mary Delaney, Angela Steyn and Karen Aiken, the interactive play is the quartet's way of helping raise funds for the Pickering Museum Vil- lage Foundation. All money raised will go toward restoring the Brougham Central Hotel, according to Christina Ste- cyk, in charge of auditions. 'Don't Say MacBeth' is set in the late 50s, where a Shakespearean Company travels to a small town to perform a beatnik version of the Scottish-set play. Filled with mur- der, mystery and laughs, it will keep audience members on their toes, its producers say. "I'd describe the play as an inter- active murder theatre," said director, Fran Stecyk, Christina's mom. The comedy will be performed outdoors at the Pickering Museum Village on July 10, 11, 17 and 18. Those who wish to audition must make an appointment. Auditions run on April 18, 21 and 22. Those who wish to audition must perform in first person as well as prepare their own monologue. Rehearsal dates are in May and June. "It's almost an ensemble cast," said Ms. Stecyk about the character roles. "All the characters are equally important." To book an audition or for more information, call Christina at 905- 686-2735, or e-mail stampsome- thing@rogers.com.

Brown, Pastor Dunbarton-Fairport United Church, Ajax Poor Easter! The most significant day in Christianity, and it doesn’t even have a proper name! (It is named after a long-lost religion.) Perhaps Christians should call it Resurrection Day instead. No confusion there with bunnies, eggs, and chocolate. For Christians, Easter is the time when God offers us “eternal life,” i.e., life now which continues through death into a new kind of life, of which we know little. This we do know: while the rites of Spring celebrate another turn in the same cycle, the resurrection is moving on to a new dimension of life. Quite a difference! Jesus tried to help us understand with the metaphor of “many rooms in God’s house.” Our minds can grasp this. He encourages us: “I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am, you may be also.” Do you know what a place is? When you get up in the morning and step outside your front door, and people know you are there and it matters to them that you are there, you have a place. Now that sounds pretty good - to know that you have the same place as Jesus in God’s house. (In contemporary Judaism, people seeking to comfort the bereaved will say, “May the place comfort you” - a euphemism for the closeness of God.) The accounts of Jesus’ resurrected appearances differ. In some, he is bodily and recognizable; in another, ghost-like but recognizable; in others, unrecognizable; in others, a voice and a light. Yet for 2000 years the Church has gone out if its way to preserve the different accounts, so that when new Christians, having met God in their own lives, may begin their religious education with the same information as all those who have gone before. This is the demonstration of the integrity of our faith. Sometimes I think that it’s as if the Church is trying to make it difficult for people to believe. But this preservation of the diverse stories is part of our witness to the truth. If the Church were merely trying to convince you, we’d tell a better composed story. But it’s more important for us to be faithful, don’t you think?

Guest Missionaries: Ken Haley of Benin, Africa Mark Robertson of Venezuela, South America Faithway Baptist ChurchDunbarton-Fairport United Church If A Man Die, Will He Live Again? Our culture is in search of the answer to this question. The truth of life after death is answered from the Bible. Yet, our culture is filled with many, like Lady Ann Grimston of many years ago, who lived near King’s Cross, England, who do not believe that life after death is a possibility for anyone. I read that on her death bed she said to a close friend, “I shall not live again! It is as unlikely that I shall live again as it is that a tree shall grow from my body!” A short time later she died and was buried in a marble tomb in Twein churchyard. Because of her station in life, the tomb was covered with a large marble slab, and the site surrounded by an iron railing. Many years passed. One day a visitor to the Twein churchyard noticed that the marble slab covering the tomb had moved a little from its original position. Soon it began to crack and through the split emerged the shoot of a small tree! Over the years the tree continued to grow. At first it broke the marble slab, then the evergrowing roots surrounded the marble tomb, and eventually the massive trunk ripped the iron railing out of the ground. Today this large four-trunked tree is believed by many in the local area to have sprouted from the very body of lady Ann Grimston herself. I can’t say that this tree is truly God’s answer to a faithless woman, or a mere coincidence. It is open for debate. The graveyard tree may be a message, but the greater answer is provided in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. More impressive than trees springing from tombs is the body of one who died upon a tree coming forth from the tomb! If a man dies, will he live again? Absolutely! Your personal faith in Jesus Christ will settle the uncertainty of your eternal journey!
