Safety net fails to work Rougemount residents say traffic-calming measures not doing the job; want old setup back By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING –Dianne Goffin wants her street safe enough for children to ride their bikes again. Ms. Goffin made a presenta- tion Monday night to Pickering council regarding the traffic- calming devices that have been installed on Rougemount Drive, asking that they be re- moved. Nearly 50 residents joined her in council chambers. “We believe firmly that the City had good intentions when they planned Rougemount Drive but unfortunately, it was an experiment that failed, and yes it was an experiment be- cause there is nothing any- where like it in Pickering,” she said. The medians (islands) and pinch points (chicanes) were installed as traffic-calming measures in the fall and the is- lands have been there since De- cember. There is still some work to be completed on the street. The residents, through two letters and a petition, have asked for the islands and pinch points to be removed. “These islands and chicanes are extremely dangerous and we are very concerned. We are asking council to remove the is- lands and chicanes, to remove the traffic-calming devices. We want a street that is safe forChairman decision delayed Council puts off issue of public vote for three weeks By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – The process to make the regional chairman an elected position has been deferred for three weeks to let Scugog Town- ship make its decision. Regional council made the de- cision at its meeting Wednesday. The Township didn’t make the deadline for input, while Durham’s seven other munici- palities did. Because the move requires a triple majority - or support from five of Durham’s eight munici- palities amounting to 51 per cent of the Region’s population, plus a majority of regional councillors - the fate of making the chair- man directly elected is in Scu- gog’s hands. Ajax, Clarington, Pickering and Oshawa all voted to make the top spot elected by Durham residents, while Brock, Uxbridge and Whitby voted to keep the chairman position one that is appointed by members of re- gional council.

DURHAM –The Durham Region Wo rks Department is inviting all Durham residents to celebrate National Public Works Week and gain an understanding of the role the works department plays in the community. From May 28 to 30, mall dis- plays will be up in both the Os- hawa Centre and the Pickering Town Centre, with information available on the public works de- partment, which provides a num- ber of services to the community, including maintaining safe roads, providing clean drinking water and operating recycling and waste-disposal programs. Also scheduled are a number of interactive activities to help spread awareness about the role of the works department in the community. On Saturday, May 29, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the works department has two sepa- rate tours scheduled. The first is at the Ajax Water Supply Plant, 75 Lake Driveway E. in Ajax. The second is a tour of the Durham Region Recycling Centre, 4600 Garrard Rd. in Whitby. Both are free to the public and all are wel- come to attend. Also scheduled on May 29 is a truck and equipment display outside the Durham Region Re- cycling Centre, running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Kids are welcome to climb into the trucks and honk the horn at this display, which will feature the many types of equipment used by employees of the public works department. Decision put off to May 26 Celebrate public works week ✦ Decision from page 1 Community calls for changes to school building process By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – Admonishing trustees for failing to provide a needed Whitby school, Myles Kesten called on the public board to make the process of approving new schools fairer and more accountable to ratepayers. The Whitby Shores Resi- dents’ Association representa- tive tore a strip off trustees at the May 3 standing committee meeting. A school near the Lynde Shores Conservation Area has been planned for years, but hasn’t yet material- ized. The board is close to buy- ing a property there, trustees heard at the meeting. The lack of the promised school is “a broken commitment that hangs over our community like a foul odour,” Mr. Kesten says. “Nobody here has given me one good reason why your com- mitment should have lapsed. We believe that you allowed pol- itics to trump this commitment, in this case the politics of growth. Honour your commit- ment; build this school now. This process pits neighbour- hood community against com- munity.” In an interview, Mr. Kesten said the Whitby Shores commu- nity “is pretty upset” over the delay. “We’ve been told over and over that there’s a school going to be built there,” he said. Yet the previously identified need for a new school doesn’t seem to count for much, he noted, and residents feel “we’re at the end of a long line here” because other communities want schools. Mr. Kesten called on trustees to “annunciate the needs in the (accommodation) plan” so that ratepayers aren’t caught in a g uessing game of where schools will be built. He also believes trustees shouldn’t have to de- pend on provincial funding alone for new schools, since they cannot count on it to meet needs, but instead should look at creative ways to finance schools. Board chairman Elizabeth Roy agrees. “His criticism is valid,” says Trustee Roy. She has called on trustees to borrow more money over a longer term and use all $15 mil- lion of its capital reserve fund in order to build a fourth new school in Phase 1 of the third accommodation plan, approved in March. Her motion was re- ferred to the education finance committee. Trustees will see the Phase 2 draft of the accommodation plan this fall. Just as school maintenance projects are identified and ranked in order of priority, she believes the same must occur in the accommodation plan for new facilities. That way, the process doesn’t become a situa- tion where the squeaky wheel gets the oil, she said, where community lobbying and poli- tics play a role. Trustee Roy says that isn’t fair because not all communities have the ability to lobby the board. She also says the board should be thinking outside the box in building new schools. In- stead of approving a school in Whitby or Ajax, for example, Trustee Roy notes that a school in south-central Durham could service both communities. She hopes some changes can be introduced to make for a more open and fairer process this fall. If it cannot meet the need for new schools in growing commu- nities, Mr. Kesten says “growth will overwhelm” trustees. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 7, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P !$-)4 /.%,)-)4%$ %.'!'%-%.4 2!4%$ 0' 0/3)4)6%,9 '2%!4 6cYYdcÉib^hhVaa"ndj"XVc"ZVi 6eeaZWZZÉhG^WaZihdcBdcYVn dcan.#.. &**@^c\hidcGY:Vhi VXgdhh[gdb8dhiXd .%*")'+"+))% ;gZZ<^[i?jhi;dgBdb ?d^cJh;dgBdi]ZgÉh9Vn GET THIS FREE* pickeringtowncentre.com great gifts for Mom Two one fantastic Alison, Brenda & Amanda from Pickering Starts Saturday, May 1st, 2004 and runs until Sunday, May 9th, 2004, while quantities last, corporate orders excluded.

The winning designs from a recent contest are being incor- porated into the renovations of the ‘ouch room’ at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hos- pital. The room is used to perform treatments, such as blood tests, on children so their hos- pital beds can be kept a safe place for healing. The Rouge Valley Health System Foundation ran the contest, which was sponsored by Sure Fit Home Furnishings in Ajax. Five-year-old Tahnee Chung-Lawrence won the six- and-under category with her submission of flowers, a rain- bow and teddy bears. The Altona Forest Public School student used crayons and pictures clipped from magazines to create her de- sign. Alyssa Esparaz, seven, won the seven-to-nine category with her ‘Happy Sunny Day!’- themed design. The Westcreek Public School student’s submission included not only a design of how the wall and floor should look, but also the ceiling. She also included a description of her design and the reasons for her colour choices. St. Elizabeth Seaton Catholic School student Kath- leen Walsh won the 10-to 12- year-old category with her 3-D f loor plan. The 10-year-old decided on her theme of ‘Crazy Critters’ because when she is sick or lonely, animals always make her feel better. The renovations on the ouch room are to take place over the summer.

She added instead of slowing people down, the design is actually causing drivers to speed up along the residential street. She likened it to a slalom course. “If you’ve been to a ski hill you know that slaloms are not there to slow racers down,” she said. In addition to not re- ducing speeding, Ms. Goffin said the new mea- sures have created sever- al problems, including confusing drivers about who has the right of way through the narrow pinch points, making it danger- ous for cyclists to navi- gate next to a car through a pinch point or at an is- land, and parked cars are making the road even more unsafe. Jan Nicholson came with her three children to show her support for Ms. Goffin. She won’t let her kids ride their bikes on the street anymore. “With the openings to the chicanes and the areas being so narrow there isn’t room for bikes and vehicles,” she said. Her children, Emily and Laura, both nine, and Adam, 12, are upset. “We used to be able to ride our bikes to our school but now our mom won’t let us because it’s too dangerous,” Emily said. “I’m frustrated because I used to love going up to the school in the evenings.” Before the pinch points and medians were in- stalled the street had speed humps to deter speeding and reduce the flow of traffic. Those had been there since 1996. Richard Holborn, the City’s head of municipal property and engineer- ing, said residents felt the speed humps were intru- sive, prompting the new design. It was presented at an open house in Janu- ary 2003 and Mr. Holborn noted the City didn’t re- ceive many negative com- ments. Ms. Goffin said resi- dents do not want the speed humps back, ei- ther. “We feel that if we have a street that is without obstacles and street haz- ards and that has side- walks for pedestrians and a path for cyclists then we’ll have a safe street,” she said. Council has asked staff to take the comments and bring information back at a future meeting regarding the issue. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 7, 2004 PAGE 5 P S Q P ENTERPRISES Your Commercial Embroidery Partner Wholesale embroidery to shirts, caps, jackets, bags, etc. 54 embroidery heads.

Such is the case with the nuclear alerting system for Ajax and Pickering residents now coming under much fire. At two meetings last week, the public and elected officials raised concerns over such issues as the location of the new outdoor siren units (there are to be 27 in Pickering and two in Ajax), their appearance and the resulting impact on property values. It's hard to ignore the irony of the situation. After all, the sys- tems are going into place in no small part because of public and political pressure. The issue was debated and discussed at length more than two years ago, with the Province even being pushed to extend its three-kilometre alerting requirements to 10 km. That extension has not been decided on. For its part, Ontario Power Generation, which operates the Pickering nuclear plant, was required to ante up the necessary cash to cover the cost. All and all, the sirens, their reach, and who'd pay the freight had an extensive public airing then. The units were even purchased last year. Which is why it's hard to sympathize with a lot of the issues being raised now. Certainly it's fair to ask why these questions weren't brought up long before the financial and political com- mitment was made. The nuclear alerting system meets an important need identi- fied by the communities. While there's never been an occasion where it would have been needed, it's only prudent to be pre- pared. Already Durham Region has met some concerns head on in that a number of proposed sites have been changed so there are no longer any on residential streets. As for property values, there's little evidence to support these units will hurt resale prices. While alternatives to the outdoor sirens are being demand- ed by politicians and the public, they've offered nothing, nor have the experts involved with setting up the system, to sug- gest there is a better model. Should one arise, they can be prepared well in advance if the Province goes ahead with a 10 km zone. There's too much to gain from the system to hold it up. Let's get on with the work. Environmentalists play vital role for everyone To the editor: Re: 'PACT gets sensitive,' April 18. Pickering Ajax Citizens Together for the Environment (PACT) is made up of members who fight for environmental rights. I believe environmental organizations such as PACT do our world justice. They are associations that promote factors on how to keep our world safe and green. In today's world, we need concerned people because without them, the Earth would soon fail under our filth and abuse. The problem is that many people do not pay attention to these environmen- talists who put days and hours into their work. These environmentalists are not only working towards their goals, they are also benefiting those who live on this planet. We need to help out and join organiza- tions that promote cleaner environmen- tal conditions not only for us, but also for the other organisms that live on this planet. We can participate in keeping our envi- ronment clean with little steps - it even helps to pick up the trash in a nearby park. With everyone's help our world can be made into a better place to live. By helping out just a little everyday we will see the difference we can make. The world is a beautiful place, we should all respect and cherish it every moment and every day.

Alerting system raising questions Pickering is faced with a dilemma - councillors and residents want a public alerting system, just not the one proposed by the Region of Durham. The dilemma comes about be- cause regional staff and their con- sultants say there are no alterna- tives to the proposed (and already purchased) public alerting system. More than 300 residents attend- ed two nights of public consulta- tions last week to express their feelings - mostly negative - about the 50-feet high poles with sirens. They are to be located within three kilometres of the Pickering Nu- clear Generating Station. They listed a host of reasons why the 27 sirens should never see the light of day in Pickering: they'll affect property values, they're ar- chaic, they'll stick out like a sore thumb, and they look like a 50- year-old solution to a modern-day problem. The complaints are valid and people have a right to express their opinions, but coming to an open house is also about listening. On property values, Ivan Ciuciu- ra, director of emergency manage- ment for the Region, said values didn't decrease in other areas with sirens. Despite this, speaker after speaker said if the sirens are erect- ed the value of their homes will drop. These are homes next to a nu- clear generating station - a station that can be seen from many of the homes in the alerting area. I would think if anything, that would affect property values. Another point many people failed to process was that the Province has mandated a system to protect public safety. The anger expressed at Mr. Ciu- ciura was unfair and I commend the woman who stood up at the end of Thursday's meeting to thank him and the panel. I also commend those people who joined her in a round of applause. There are no easy answers to the siren issue. The Provincial Emer- gency Management Act requires there be an alerting system, which both regional and Pickering coun- cils support. The Region and its consultants say this is the only system that meets provincial re- quirements. Yes, maybe there should have been consultations earlier, but this is not an issue that suddenly ap- peared. It also doesn't appear it is one that will suddenly go away.

Ajax, ON L1S 2H6 905-683-7546 X X Keeping an eye on the news News Advertiser ..Read by more people in your community than any other newspaper Metroland Durham Region Media Group Durham is on West Nile watch By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM –The health depart- ment started its West Nile virus surveillance program Monday, and this year’s emphasis is on three bird species. “(We’re) asking area residents to focus their attention only on dead crows, blue jays and raptors (including eagles, hawks and owls) for potential West Nile Virus testing,” said Ross MacEachern, manager of environmental health. Of the 75 birds tested in Durham last year, six crows, one hawk and two mosquito pools tested positive for West Nile. Across Ontario, 242 birds tested positive for the virus, along with 13 5 mosquito pools. While Durham had no human cases of the virus, there were 89 cases in Ontario, including two deaths in which the virus was, or may have been, a factor, the health department said. Residents are encouraged to call the health department when they find any of the above-men- tioned dead birds. While the de- partment will not pick up birds that are unsuitable for testing, they will be logged as a dead bird sighting. “A r ea residents represent the eyes of the surveillance team and everyone’s participation in the observation of dead (birds) is es- sential to the success of this pro- gram,” Mr. MacEachern said. West Nile is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become in- fected by feeding on the blood of an infected bird. The disease is not spread from person to person or from bird to person. To dispose of dead birds, use a shovel, a plastic bag and rubber gloves to handle the carcass, Mr. MacEachern said. All carcasses should be buried several feet deep or double bagged for municipal pick up. Hands should be washed thor- oughly afterward, he added. The health department will again be larviciding roadside catch basins and surface water on regional and municipal property through the summer, Mr. MacEachern said. Larviciding helps prevent the development of adult mosquitoes that may carry the virus. The de- partment will also be trapping mosquitoes for surveillance. To protect yourself against being bitten by mosquitoes, the health department recommends measures such as: • removing standing water (in- cluding bird baths) around your home where mosquitoes could lay their eggs; • removing yard waste and fill- ing depressions in lawns; • cleaning and chlorinating swimming pools and hot tubs; • turning over compost piles regularly; • wearing shoes, socks, light- coloured clothing with long sleeves and long pants when out- side, especially during the evening, at night or at dawn, when mosquitoes are most active. For more information on West Nile Virus or to report a dead bird, contact the health depart- ment at 905-723-8521 or 1-800-847- 2729. You can also visit www.re- gion.durham.on.ca.

SAVE up to 78%! MIAMI, May 4, 2004 - The first stowaway was discovered on board Queen Mary 2 as she crossed the Atlantic on her Maiden eastbound crossing from New York to Southampton. Queen Mary 2 arrived in Southampton on Saturday, May 1, with her elder sister Queen Elizabeth 2. The stowaway - an adolescent tern, not yet in full adult plumage - made the mistake of landing on the balcony of Cunard’s president, Pamela Conover, who reported its presence to on board authorities. At the time Queen Mary 2 was 485 miles due east of Cape Race, Newfoundland. The Principal Medical Officer, Dr. Martin Carroll, examined the bird in the ship’s medical centre under the supervision of Commodore R.W. Warwick. While in custody, the stowaway bird fed on a diet of smoked salmon and caviar, and was released on Friday as Queen Mary 2 neared the UK. Peter Shanks, Cunard’s senior vice president Europe, said: “I can’t believe the audacity of this tern trying to hitch a free ride but I suppose it has shown great taste by deciding to stowaway on Queen Mary 2 - the most luxurious liner in the world!” Ajax-Pickering CruiseShipCenters is hosting an afternoon with representatives of Cunard Cruise Line on Saturday May 8th at the Regalis Restaurant in Pickering. This invitation-only, exclusive event gives guests an intimate look at the world’s most magnificent ocean liner with plenty of opportunity for questions and first-hand answers. To be notified of future cruise events, please call us at 905-619-0323 or visit us on the web at www.letscruise.com.

The president of the Urban Al- liance on Race Relations was the guest speaker at the Community De- velopment Council Durham’s recent annual general meeting. A social and community activist, Ms. Akande was the first black female cabinet minis- ter in Ontario’s history, the minister of community and social services in the Bob Rae NDP government in the early 1990s. “I really do believe that sometimes the fun of supporting communities makes us feel so good about our- selves that we continue to do it in a way that deprives them of the power that they have,” she said at the Lviv Hall in Oshawa. If clients don’t assume leadership roles after being helped to obtain af- fordable housing or employment, for example, Ms. Akande says workers aren’t doing their job. She has begun speaking of the “visible majority” in Toronto be- cause, collectively, minority groups almost make up most of the popula- tion. As a young woman growing up in the city, she says that was not the case. “Sixty-six years ago there were no visible minorities in Toronto; you paid attention when you saw them,” says Ms. Akande. “If you saw another black person, you said ‘hi;’ if you saw a Chinese person or someone else, you noted it. You knew every black person in the city, and if you didn’t know them personally, you knew of them.” Today, Toronto is “a marvellous mix of diversity,” she says, referring to Statistics Canada data that shows how quickly the minority population is growing in the country. “If Durham doesn’t totally reflect that, it will; it’s only a matter of time.” ZANANA AKANDE Don’t deprive others of their power.

It’s not the anteaters, giant water lilies, monkeys or brilliant- ly coloured exotic birds that cause the double- takes. It’s the people who walk by wearing Oshawa Generals caps. The unlikely sight is easy to explain: Dr. Roy Rowsell, a medical in- ternist and hockey fanatic, leads the team. At age 82, Dr. Rowsell has just re- turned from the South American nation - it was his 32nd trip there - along with four other health-care professionals from Lak- eridge Health Oshawa. The doctors, lab techni- cians, nurses and pharma- cists make the annual trip on their own dime. They take vacation time and pay their own airfares. Donna Parker estimates the team treated about 2,000 people this year. “From infancy to those in their 50s,” she says. Most of their patients are Amerindian - Guyana, with a population of 702,100, is known as the country of six peoples: Africans, Amerindians, Chinese, East Indians, Eu- ropeans and Portugese. Many don’t live much past their 50s. Some die from snakebites, others from ty- phoid. Many of the pa- tients the team sees have received little or no med- ical treatment in their lives. Guyana is the only South American country where English is the offi- cial language. It’s bor- dered by Venezuela on the west, Suriname on the east, Brazil to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the north. One of the reasons this destination works so well is the relationship Dr. Rowsell has developed with the local Lions Club representative. “On the second year, we met the Lions resource person and haven’t looked back,” he says. L ab technician Donna Parker made her fourth trip this year and is grate- ful for the donated equip- ment she was able to use to conduct the necessary tests. Canadian Tire Cor- poration donated a gener- ator and the Westmount Kiwanis Club donated funds to purchase medica- tion. Ve’ahavta is a Jewish organization based in To r onto that also plays a big role in recruiting med- ical personnel, raising funds and helping to coor- dinate the trips. “The team takes multi- vitamins down and gives them out to the children in the villages,” adds Ms. Parker. “ Apparently, what is called ‘river blindness’ is caused because the chil- dren lack vitamin A. This vitamin can be stored in the body and 20 multivita- mins provide enough Vita- min A for one year. The number of children with this blindness has been cut dramatically.” This year, 300 pounds of medication was sent. And though it was the first trip for pharmacist Reshma Rathod, she is credited by the team for knowing where everything was to the point where she could reach into one of the suit- cases, pull out what was needed as the team’s boat plied river waters into the interior. “A boat pulled over to ours and somebody had a rash,” recalls Dr. Mike Sil- verman, an infectious dis- ease specialist at Lak- eridge. “She pulled out the right cream.” Of course antibiotics, drugs to treat malaria and parasitic worms that can cause malnutrition in chil- dren formed a big part of the team’s massive medi- cine chest. Scabies, diabetes, hy- pertension and tuberculo- sis were other ailments seen by the team; and AIDS, according to Dr. Sil- verman, is on the rise. “Guyana has the second highest rate of AIDS in the Western Hemisphere,” he says. “We give out con- doms by the pound... a lot of people with HIV are struggling to get medica- tion.” Ms. Parker and her Lak- eridge colleague Beth Mc- Cready set up their lab to include a chemistry com- ponent, a hematology sec- tion and a bacteriology section. The members had to have all their shots before heading south and take precautions while they were there. “J iggers,” for instance, are burrowing fleas that can get under the skin and cause discomfort and in- fection. Each member makes sure they are “de- jiggered” before returning home. “And we’re exposed to a lot of scabies,” says Dr. Rowsell of the skin condi- tion, which is caused by mites and can be easily transferred from person to person. Ms. Rathod says she would go to Guyana again and was amazed at one of the country’s most famous attractions: Kaieteur, which is one of the highest waterfalls in the world, nearly five times as high as Niagara Falls with a clear drop of 741 feet, then a fur- ther drop of 81 feet over the great rocks at the bot- tom. “That was awesome,” she says. Ms. Parker is philosoph- ical. “When you read the newspaper or watch the news on the television, there is almost always a story about strife involving different religious groups. Ve ’ahavta is a Jewish- based organization. The team this year was made up of Jews, Christians and Hindus and our contact in Georgetown is Muslim,” she marvels. “All different faiths com- ing together for a common goal - to help less fortunate people.” For more information about the annual Guyana mission (another is planned for February 2005), visit www.veahav- ta.org/GuyanaMedical- Team2004.htm. A healing touch from Durham Dr. Mike Silverman brought his infectious disease skills to Guyana as part of a medical team from Durham that treat- ed about 2,000 people.

At 160 feet, it dwarfed the historic vessels Christopher Columbus would use to discover the New World nearly a half century later. Her massive cargo holds did not contain a bounty of gold or silver, but a treasure of equal importance and just as precious. Off the coast of Vietnam, the dark and murky depths of the Dragon Sea had been her final resting place for more than 550 years, but in 1992, the great ship gave up part of her 14th century cargo to the nets of an impover- ished fisherman. A colourful jour- ney of risk and reward would begin in Southeast Asia and make a stop at a country auction house in Uxbridge, Ontario. Soohin Ong is a modern day Marco Polo. He’s well spoken and has seen more of the world than many of us would dare to dream. On this recent April day, he’s in Uxbridge, half a world away from his home in Malaysia. “It’s truly the world’s second oldest profession,” he says with a grin, referring to his occupation as an international shipwreck salvager. The Uxbridge auction house has a distinct odour, not unpleas- ant, but more like an essence of the countless aging items that have followed a path through here to new ownership, a second chance. Mr. Ong stands proudly beside the display cabinets that house the fruits of his most re- cent labour. One would be forgiven for be- lieving the collection was a sim- ple assortment of ceramic pot- tery, but the assumption would be like describing a Picaso as just another painting. In reality, each piece was born in the legendary kilns of the Chu Dau, a 14th cen- tury Vietnamese village synony- mous with some of the finest ce- ramics the world will ever see. The collection is called “White Gold” in the world of fine antiqui- ties and was branded “The Hoi An Hoard” in recognition of the fishing village responsible for its discovery. “I don’t know if I was brave or just stupid enough to try and find it,” Mr. Ong says with a laugh. A crowd mills around the dis- play cabinets containing the 179 lots up for auction. Mr. Ong says more than 240,000 pieces were raised from the seabed. The orig- inal pieces, snagged in the net of a fisherman, were quickly snapped up by a thriving black market, hungry for Asian arti- facts. The Vietnamese govern- ment quickly stopped the prac- tise and Mr. Ong’s company was awarded a highly coveted salvage permit. “Ninety-nine per cent of the wrecks we are told of don’t exist. I blew a million bucks initially looking for the ship and thought it might be the end of my career.” And what a career it has been. He has recovered the spoils of countless wrecks, including a Second World War German sub- marine. He has watched divers descend into the depths, never to be seen again, in fact, there were several near misses during this salvage operation. In all, six ships and 120 people worked around the clock for 71 days in the unpre- dictable conditions of the Dragon Sea. Mr. Ong has seen his “White Gold” sold throughout the world at many prestigious auction houses. Some of his treasures have fetched more than $35,000. So what is he doing in Uxbridge? ‘We’ve been known to sell cows, not Asian treasure.’ GARY HILL Mr. Ong has been friends, for many years, with a now retired airline pilot. After a long and dis- tinguished career, flying through- out the world, he hung up his wings and settled in north Durham. A long distance phone call between the two men had the friend scanning local papers for a potential auction house that might be interested in offering some of the treasure for sale in Ontario. An advertisement for Gary Hill Auctions caught his eye. It was as simple as that. Gary Hill has been in the busi- ness for 22 years and has never been involved with anything quite like this. “I tried to talk him out of it. I told him we’ve been known to sell cows, not Asian treasure. He wouldn’t hear of it,” Mr. Hill says. Interacting with the crowd, Mr. Hill flirts with humour and deliv- ers brief anecdotes that keep the crowd amused and informed. There’s not a seat to be had. Latecomers are forced to jockey for position wherever they can find a spot. The bidding has been going for an hour on an unusual assort- ment of items. A three-legged deer ashtray sells, and a man seems quite thrilled with his new sword. They’re all warmed up when Mr. Hill tells them the pot- tery is next. Most of the items have an esti- mated value in the $200 area, with a few appraised at over $1,000. The first items draw a steady stream of bidders and sell for slightly less than the ap- praised value of $280. Somebody has a bargain. Within a few hours, Mr. Hill will proclaim the last item sold and pieces of the “White Gold” collec- tion will fan out across Durham Region with the new owners. Mr. Ong is pleased the auction has sold out. Tomorrow, he’s on his way to Halifax to start the whole thing over again. Where will he go from there? He smiles and says, “Where else? Another wreck.” Treasures of the sea Photos by Glenn Kerr Soohin Ong, operations director of the Malaysian salvage company Saga Horizon, was in Uxbridge recently as 500-year-old pottery he recovered from a ship- wreck was sold at Gary Hill Auctions. The item he’s holding was appraised at $1,590, but sold for $1,025. Other pieces of the treasure are behind him in the cabi- nets. Mr. Ong was featured in a documentary on the Discovery channel on the ship’s recovery. There wasn’t a seat in the house at Gary Hill Auctions in Uxbridge recently, when 14th-century ‘White Gold’ pottery, recovered from a shipwreck, was on the block. Ajax and Pickering students look into the future By Stephanie Koufis Special to the News Advertiser AJAX – Some Ajax and Pickering students looked into the future during a visit to the University of To ronto last week. The university’s Scar- borough campus held ‘Take your daughters and sons to work day,’ with programs and activities designed by the Ms. Foundation for Women and the Families and Wo rk Institute. The pro- g rams are intended for children ages eight to 12, to encourage considera- tion of how their future will fit into their overall lives. “I’m looking forward to go back next year,” said Marissa McCrae, a Lin- coln Avenue Public School student in Ajax. The eight-year-old’s favourite part of the day left her with a chill. “I really liked the cold room. All the kids got to step inside to see snow all over the ground,” she said. The children were given a chance to learn about how graduate students conduct experiments on melting snow and what happens to pollutants when it melts. Marissa also enjoyed seeing black widow spi- ders. “We all got a cricket to put into the black widow’s container and whoever’s spider ate the cricket first, won,” she said. Although most stu- dents jumped in fear at the spiders, they learned about spider behaviour, what the spiders can do, and why the university has hundreds of black widows in its possession. The major goal for the day is to encourage girls and boys to think now about how their future dreams can be achieved. “U of T has this day to promote an understand- ing for the children, by seeing what their parents do at work,” said Marilyn Kw an, of the Scarborough campus. Ms. Kwan was on the organizing committee, making sure everything ran smoothly for the day. “It allows the children to be exposed at a young age, allowing them to start thinking about ca- reer options,” she said.

Catholic board uses more discretion New committee will examine budget items By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM –There isn’t much, but trustees do have a little wiggle room when they help prepare the com- ing year’s school system budget. As a result, a new com- mittee of trustees will start reviewing the Durham Catholic District School Board’s discretionary spending. Approved at Monday’s board meeting, the ad hoc finance committee will be comprised of no fewer than three trustees appointed by the board chairman. Oshawa Trustee Joe Corey said virtually every dollar in the budget ap- proved last year was on items over which the board has little or no flexibility, such as staff wages. He says staff does a good job of allocating that funding, but about 1.4 per cent of the budget represents spending options to trustees on items such as computer upgrading and photocopying. “They can meet during the budget process,” board chairman Mary Ann Mar- tin said in an interview. “It’s throughout the bud- get process they’ll meet, prior to it going to the board for approval.” She responded with an emphatic “no, no, no” when asked if that means trustees don’t review the rest of the budget. The committee is to review budget items where there are spending choices, said the Whitby trustee. Oshawa Trustee Fred Jones was uncomfortable with some of the wording in the committee’s man- date, namely that it “will set up a process” to annu- ally review discretionary spending. “The way it sounds is that the commit- tee will establish a process and that’s it, as opposed to recommending a process for approval by the board,” he said. Trustee Jones agreed to the removal of the words “set up a process” in the mandate. Trustee Martin clarified that any committee recom- mendations will come to the entire board for ap- proval. The board expects to approve its 2004/05 bud- get in about two months. Centre, school come up with hundreds of bags of garbage AJAX – Residents young and old alike can be environmentally con- scious by adopting a park or road- way. Organized by the 4u2XL Youth Development Centers, activities such as adopting a park are intend- ed to inspire Ajax and Pickering youth and give them the skills, trades, and knowledge to protect the future of our environment. The centre is at 67 Church St. S., in Ajax. Between April 15 and 19 13 kids, ages nine to 13, hit Duffin Park and collected 119 bags of garbage. “Seventy per cent of it was coffee cups, fast food wrappers and pop cans,” said Richard Lewis, chief ex- ecutive officer of the centre. He noted another prevalent problem in parks was dog drop- pings and the youth found 123 golf balls. Three times a year, everyone has a chance to get involved in the cen- tre’s adopt-a-park program to help clean up their community and make a difference. Already three Ajax schools have joined the youth centre in its pro- ject. Pickering High School students chose three areas to clean up from April 26 to April 28, Duffin Creek Nor th, Pickering Village and the school and Hermitage Park. More than 327 students partici- pated in the effort, collecting more than 100 bags of garbage filled with fast food cups and wrappers. They even found a 200-gallon fish tank and the back seat from a vehicle. There’s still time to sign up for this summer’s adopt-a-park or roadway program.

Entertainment FRIDAY, MAY 7, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Bob Thackeray and Pauline Best’s combined show of oil paintings is on display at the McLean Community Centre. Best and Thackeray show off their work Meghan Stone Special to the News Advertiser AJAX –Great minds think alike, but some artists on the other hand, think completely different. While Paulette Best and Bob Thackeray both paint with oils, their outlook on the world is completely different, as shown in their work. Their paintings are on display as part of a joint ex- hibit at the McLean Community Centre until May 24. The two have enjoyed their medium for a number of years and use art as an outlet to ex- press their views. Best described her style as "loose and more impressionis- tic." The Ajax resident is a mem- ber of the Ajax Creative and Os- hawa arts councils. In the McLean exhibit she features 13 paintings. "Working in oil I select the sub- ject I feel will best fill my creative need at the time," she comment- ed. "I try to convey a sense of freedom and atmosphere, rather than just a photographic image." Best's work has been on dis- play in numerous places, includ- ing the Cobourg Waterfront Fes- tival where she had a booth set up to display her work. Thackeray has always enjoyed oils and focuses on still lifes and landscapes. He is an active member of the Ajax Creative Arts and Oshawa Arts Associa- tion groups, along with being an associate member of the Cana- dian Society of Artists, where he is invited to participate in many Canadian events. For the past few years he has been studying under Doug Purdon. "Doug paints in all mediums, but he prefers oils," said the Os- hawa resident. Thackeray noted he recently had the chance to participate in a full-week retreat to Bridgewa- ter where he studied landscape. Each student was able to use the scenery for inspiration, instead of photographs inside. "(It was) fantastic, I'd love to go again," said Thackeray. The McLean Community Cen- tre is 95 Magill Dr. in Ajax. Hours are Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, call the centre at 905-428-7711. Oil is pure gold to artists Ajax native wants others to follow their dreams Stephanie Mason Special to the News Advertiser AJAX –She once thought the unthinkable, but now Nicole Williams is living out her dreams. The Ajax native is an author and career consultant for her own Media Corporation, Wildly Sophisticated. "Basically I call myself a career builder," said the 33-year-old, who now calls Vancouver home. Williams has already written two books on career success, with her latest, 'Wildly Sophisti- cated: A Bold New Attitude for Career Success' released in Feb- ruary. The book offers construc- tive solutions, stories, secrets and other information for suc- ceeding in a career. Her first book was 'Wildly Sophisticated: The Quest for Success'. But, the book release isn't her only news of late. Her reality television show, 'Making It Big,' gives three women a chance to reach the top of their chosen profession and make their dreams come true. 'Making It Big' airs Saturday nights on the Life Network "It's three up-and-coming new- comers and a career opportunity of a lifetime," she said, in de- scribing the show. As a manager, Williams' goal simply put, is to build futures. "I give young women the tools they need to live their career dreams," she said. "A lot of my career experience is reflected in the content of this business. I knew I wanted this business to be authentic." Wildly Sophisticated Media Inc. focuses on entertaining and supporting women on their ad- ventures to the top. Like every- one else, Williams had to work her way there. While attending Ajax High School, teacher Robert Fine gave a description of each stu- dent in his class, with Williams getting the tag as 'wildly sophis- ticated.' "In a way he saw the potential in me that I didn't even know I had," she explained. She de- scribed herself as being a bit of a slacker in school and not too academically inclined. But those two words, wildly sophisticated, gave Williams the inspiration to want more out of life. That and her mother Linda's advice of always trying her hardest. "Nikki always tries so hard," said her mom. "She (now) works 17 hours a day." She earned degrees in political science and social policy at the universities of Guelph and British Columbia, while holding down jobs that included pump- ing gas, career counselling and co-ordinating programs. Through her own experiences of ups and downs, Williams learned it's part of life to make mistakes. "You do fail and there are hard times, but it's about picking yourself up and learning from that," she said. Her advice to others wanting to pursue their dream career comes from her favourite quote in the Tom Robbins' book 'Jitter- bug Perfume.' He wrote, "The price of self- destiny is never cheap and in certain circumstances it's un- thinkable, but to achieve the marvellous it's precisely the un- thinkable that must be thought." And Williams believes every- one has the ability to be wildly sophisticated. "It's just to dream big," she said. "If you have a dream there are ways to achieve it."

A Cougars' basket in the dying seconds of the third quar- ter put Cadarackque up by eight points but, more impor- tant, seemed to put Westney Heights on its heels. It was all Cadarackque in the fourth as it led by as many as 15 points en route to a 38-26 victo- ry in the Durham Elementary Athletic Association (DEAA) f inal for Grade 4, 5 and 6 bas- ketball players at Lakeside Pub- lic School. Cougars' coach Andrew Ilkiw says having the luxury of a deep and talented bench was key to the title contest. "The difference is we kept ro- tating players in and out. That probably tired them out a bit. We had fresher people in for the whole game. They had their starters on the floor for the en- tire game," says Ilkiw. And, because of the big fourth-quarter lead, Ilkiw says it afforded him the opportunity to allow every one of his players to contribute to the champi- onship victory. The title game capped an out- standing hoops season by the Cougars, who finished with an impressive 21-0 record. Al- though there is no regular-sea- son play, the Cougars played a series of exhibition contests throughout the season. Jevon Jacobs led the Cougars in the final with a 10-point per- formance. Kevin Wilson added nine. Cadarackque had little trou- ble getting to the all-Ajax DEAA final. In the quarter-fi- nals, the Cougars rolled past Leslie McFarlane of Whitby 37- 17. In the semifinals, the Cougars defeated another Ajax squad - Lincoln Alexander - 32-23. Other team members of the Cougars are Kaza Kajami, Luke Ffrench, Adisa Terry, Quincy Bishop, Shaquille Francis, Boyd Reid, Vauntee Crawford, Irfan Hosein, Todd Nakasuji, Spencer Forrester, Nathaniel Gardner, Connor Tamblyn, Khalid Chrysostom, Carlton Lewis and Justin Meloche.

Wilson, Cozier join Oshawa Intercounty team By Paul Futhey Staff Writer DURHAM —With their third season one day away, the opti- mism surrounding the Oshawa Dodgers baseball club couldn't be higher. And why not? With an aggressive off-season in the player-signing depart- ment, the Dodgers, who im- proved from seventh to fifth in the Intercounty League last sea- son, have their sights set much higher in the 2004 campaign. "On paper, we're in the best shape we've been in," says man- ager Troy May. The two most recent acquisi- tions, announced in the past week, are likely two of the biggest in club history, May says. In fact, 6-foot-6 right-hander Vance Cozier will take to the mound as the Dodgers open the regular season tomorrow after- noon in Barrie. Cozier, 26, who played his minor baseball with the Ajax Spartans Baseball As- sociation, is a San Francisco Gi- ants draftee. His signing was an- nounced Wednesday by the club. "We've really strengthened our pitching," May says, adding the extra arms will be key in the postseason. The Dodgers intend to carry 12 pitchers (five more than last year) this season. Cozier's signing comes days after the Dodgers announced the acquisition of Ajax resident Nigel Wilson, 34, to bolster the attack. Wilson, a 15-year profes- sional who has spent time in the majors, minors and most re- cently in Japan, will be batting in the clean-up spot. "He's probably got the quick- est hands through the hitting zone I've ever seen," May mar- vels, adding Wilson's ability to communicate with other players will make him an invaluable asset. "He's a true teacher of the game." All in all, the additional per- sonnel means the bar has been set higher. May says a top four spot (and home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs) is one of the club's goals. Dodgers draft Ajacians for ball season AJAX —The Ajax baseball com- munity lost one of its biggest boosters with the death last Thursday of Richard Sheep- wash. Sheepwash was a longtime member of the Ajax Spartans Minor Baseball Association, in- cluding several years as presi- dent. His funeral was held at the Accettone Funeral Home Mon- day morning. Sheepwash also worked with the Ajax recreation advisory committee and was one of the original members of the Sport- splex committee entrusted with steering the new north Ajax baseball facility from the plan- ning stages to completion. But, mostly, says Bill Boston, an executive member of the Ajax Spartans, Sheepwash was a huge proponent of female base- ball in the town. "He was one of the biggest pro- ponents of women's baseball. We 're one of the only organiza- tions that has women's baseball in eastern Ontario," says Boston, the Spartans' rep convener. Rob MacArthur, who previ- ously worked with Sheepwash on the advisory committee and with the Spartans, described Sheep- wash as a "wonderful and caring citizen. "He always focused on the one that was most important... the children. Richard will be greatly missed and very hard to replace." Sheepwash is survived by his wife, Susan, and children Jaime and Erin. Sheepwash left his mark on minor ball Attack cashes in perfect record to claim Ontario title DURHAM —The Durham At- tack 'Black' girls' 16-and-under squad went undefeated at the Ontario Volleyball Association Tier I championships in Strat- ford recently. In its final match, Durham went up against the No. 1 seed- ed team, Etobicoke's Peel Se- lects. The Attack dominated early and held on to defeat the Selects 25-16, 25-16 to capture the gold medal. The Attack easily eliminated London's Forest City Green in the semifinals with two straight wins, 25-13, 25-7. Black placed first in its pool with a perfect 3-0 record. Then they defeated the Scarborough Falcons 25-15 and 25-12 to ad- vance to the quarter-finals, where the girls played a tough match against Bowmanville's Ganaraska Wolves, winning 14- 25, 25-12, 15-13. Team members are Katelyn Earle, Colleen McRobert, Kaila Janssen, Landis Doyle, team captain Amber Lee Campbell, Stephanie Parfitt, Kim Hubiak, Amanda Falzon, Stephanie Betts and Jenn Orr. Chris Williamson coaches the team, assisted by Evan Williams and Julie Clark. Meanwhile, the Durham At- tack 15-and-under 'Black' team brought home gold at the OVA tier II division championships in Wingham. Durham finished first in its pool, winning six consecutive games. In the final, the Attack de- feated the Georgetown Impact 25-23, 18-25 and 15-11. The Durham girls defeated the Niagara Rapids in the semi- f inals and the Durham Attack 'Red' 16-and-under team in the quarter-finals. Other Durham Attack provincial results are as follows: Tier I divisions, 20-and-under squad - fourth place; 18-and- under 'Black' team - fourth place; 18-and-under 'Red' team - 10th place; 15-and-under 'Black' team - fifth. The 15-and-under 'Red' team finished 10th in the tier 2 division. Breigh Cameron, Kim Todd, Janssen, Doyle, Hayley Todd, Kristen Collins and Jenny Robertson received the OVA's award of excellence, demon- strating dedication to the sport, perseverance and com- mitment, sportsmanship and fair play, team spirit, leader- ship, and performance. All teams move on to national competitions later this month.

Letters, cards, emails, phone calls, gifts, and best wishes were over- whelming and an Open House attend- ed by many new and decades of old friends, brought back fond memories of past years. The spark plugs for this event, Cathi and Jack Schoon, and others, left us with a lifetime memory. The highlight of the occasion was a Barber Shop Quartet, enjoyed by all. Over 70 years of computer displayed photographs were views, providing some comedy to many in attendance. The 50 plus era of our lives has now begun. CREDIT PROBLEMS BUT NEED A VEHICLE?
