Growth Study getting more review Additional time allows for more feedback By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – Jim Thompson wants to see Pickering’s growth management study referred in perpetuity. The Whitevale resident was one of 15 speakers at the City’s executive committee Tuesday night to make sure the mayor and councillors knew how they felt about the study for pro- posed development in central Pickering. “My view is that this issue is too divisive for a firm decision to be made in the next month,” he said. “My feeling is that we should add the words ‘in perpe- tuity’ to the referral motion brought forward by Coun. Brenner.” At the beginning of the meet- ing, Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner brought for- ward a motion recommending a staff report on Phase 2 of the City’s growth management study be referred to a meeting next month. The move would allow additional time for those interested to review the report, particularly First Nations rep- resentatives. The motion passed but Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles, Debate sets off f ireworks Councillors unload over move to elect Durham chairman By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM –The latest debate on whether to directly elect the re- gional chairman had all the drama of a soap opera, complete with suspense: There’s still no final decision. Wednesday’s regional council meeting had love, hate, passion and fear, and the session twice dissolved into a yelling match be- tween old rivals Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson and Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. Mayor Parish accused Mr. An- derson of orchestrating a defeat- ing vote, as several councillors who supported a directly elected chair - including Clarington Mayor John Mutton, who, along with Mayor Parish, brought the original motion forward - were not in attendance. “You are not going to suggest that I or anyone else would or- chestrate this,” Mr. Anderson said, demanding an apology. “I’m not kidding.” “I know you’re not. That’s the arrogance of the post,” Mayor Parish quipped. “I could have called this vote last time and it would have won,” yelled Mayor Parish later, ac- knowledging that it was he who deferred the vote until today, but only because Scugog Township needed more time to vote. Mr. Anderson eventually turned off Mayor Parish’s micro- phone, saying “No one can hear you,” and refused to let him talk until he apologized. Several councillors groaned and yelled for the pair to stop and “get on with it,” while Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle launched into a eulogy-like speech about what a great job Mr. Anderson has done for the Region. “I take it as a personal affront, as should everyone else in here,” he said. “I hope he (Mayor Parish) understands that every- ✦See Tension page 9 ✦See Majority page 9 910 Dundas St. W., Whitby Queens Common Plaza (905)665-5899 www.arcticspasdurham.com sales@arcticspasdurham.com Proudly Made in Canada D urha m Durham Durh a m Durham May 27 th , 28 th , 29 th , 30 th 43 Models to choose from 7 Person Spa with or without lounge Includes Setup, Delivery, Polar Cover and Chemical Package.

The Ward 2 regional council- lor was at the Pickering execu- tive committee meeting Tues- day and Durham council Wednesday, saying he will fulfil his duties as a councillor during his run for a federal seat in the June 28 election. “I talked with a number of constituents about it and... I heard pretty clearly it is impor- tant that I stay on,” he said. “If I took a leave of absence it would mean one less vote at re- g ional council (for Pickering).” Coun. Holland has no doubts that he will still be able to do his job as a councillor while try- ing to become the member of Parliament for Ajax-Pickering. “I’m going to continue to give it 40 hours a week,” he said, adding he normally devotes 60 hours a week to his council du- ties. He said he will collect his full paycheque during the cam- paign. Oshawa Riding federal candi- date Louise Parkes is continu- ing in her role as a councillor in that city. However, she is not collecting municipal pay for the duration of her campaign. Former Pick- ering mayor Wayne Arthurs, who was elected as the provin- cial representative for Picker- ing-Ajax-Uxbridge last October, returned $100 each day from his mayoral salary during the cam- paign. Coun. Holland said he has spoken with his council col- leagues about his decision to not take a leave of absence dur- ing the election. “I had a conversation with everyone of them and they were supportive,” he said. “I’m not the head of council so it is dif- ferent.” In order to fit in an anticipat- ed 50 hours of campaigning a week, Coun. Holland said he is putting aside some contract public policy work. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 28, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P OVER 60 retail locations at Pickering Town Centre are hiring new employees • Full-time • Part-time • Seasonal Need help in preparing for an interview or how to look for a job, or just need resume tips?

The target was carp as he dropped a line at Millennium Park. AJAX – Thieves gained entry to a depart- ment store through a rooftop exhaust fan and made off with a small quantity of cigarettes earlier this week. Durham Regional Police responded when thieves leaving the Westney Road Giant Tiger store set off an alarm. Officers say the thieves entered through the roof and somehow negotiated a 25-foot drop to the store floor before grabbing a small quantity of cigarettes and taking off. No value for the stolen property has been determined. Police looking for driver of hit-and-run Ford PICKERING – Police are seeking the driver of a van that struck a boy in Pickering earlier this week then fled the scene. Durham Regional Police say a 15-year-old boy was riding his bike along Liverpool Road when the van, turning onto the ramp for the eastbound Hwy. 401, struck him. The boy was not seriously hurt. Police are looking for a maroon Ford Astro. Check those child car seats for safety PICKERING – Strap up and in for a car safe- ty check event this weekend. The Durham Region Car Safety Seat Com- mittee, along with Durham Regional Police, in- vite all parents with children in car seats to at- tend the free seat check from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Formula Ford Sales in Pickering, this Sunday, May 30. The safety committee was formed to in- crease the awareness and practice of proper car seat installation and usage. Trained volun- teers will be available to help parents or care- givers who want to know if a child’s care seat is safe. An estimated 80 per cent of child safety seats are not installed or used properly. Formula Ford Sales is at 1167 Kingston Rd., Pickering.

Or so it would seem, what with the Internet, e-mail, Blackberries and the like. From one end of the globe to the other, communication is instant. And hey, we haven't even mentioned that ancient revolution known as the phone. The City of Pickering narrowed the global borders even more last week when it hosted a delegation from Yongchuan City. The visitors from the Chinese city were treated to a tour of Pickering, stops at key local businesses, and a lunch where all levels of government and the business community were brought together. The idea was to sell Chairman Qiang Liu and his entourage on what Pickering has to offer, where the city wants to be in the years to come, and to discuss business op- portunities. They even signed off on a friendship agreement, written in both English and Chinese, that will see both sides encourage each other's related departments and businesses to engage in different forms of economic activity. Delivering Pickering's message throughout was a City em- ployee who acted as translator-interpreter for the day, no doubt underscoring the fact Pickering is quickly becoming a multicultural haven. What the visit accomplished, probably more than anything else, was to send notice that we have to look beyond traditional borders when it comes to growth. We live in an economic climate these past few years that has seen us teeter between boom and bust. Many days it seems it could go one way just as easily as the other. Our economy has been hit by severe acute respiratory syn- drome and mad cow scares, the August blackout, and now sky- rocketing gas prices, a Liberal budget loaded with new taxes and the lifting of the hydro cost cap. All have made for a difficult climate in which to do business. Which is why municipalities have to be more creative when selling the local economy. Again, borders are coming down. The world is so much smaller than it was 10 years ago. Distance, costs and language barriers and are all being negated by technology. It's the way of the future and the only way to stay ahead. Doctor brought legitimate issue to light To the editor: Re: 'Give hospital support, not anger,' letter to the editor, May 12. No individual has done more to cham- pion the best possible health care in west Durham than Dr. Romas Stas. John Haste has failed to recognize that at great personal sacrifice, and with consid- erable professional risk, Dr. Stas has sin- gle-handily opened to public scrutiny and debate the present and future hospi- tal needs of Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. The issues raised and the questions asked are not only legitimate and proper in an open society, but they have served as a catalyst for a reassessment of the fu- ture of hospital services in our communi- ties. Thanks to Dr. Stas and Mrs. Yvonne Bosch, a new sense of west Durham's re- sponsibility to build for the future by maintaining and strengthening the Ajax-Pickering hospital through vigi- lance, public involvement and financial support is alive and growing in our com- munities. The recent resolutions of Durham, Pickering, Ajax, and Whitby councils in support of the hospital provide a strong- ly proactive and positive opportunity for continued commitment to providing the best possible hospital services for the present and future citizens of west Durham. Well done Dr. Stas!

The newspaper contacts only those whose submissions have been chosen for publi- cation. After hearing about the com- munity mistrust with the Rouge Valley Health System, officials at the hospital are now waving a white flag. At numerous public consulta- tions held in February and March, concerned residents told hospital officials again and again that the hospital wasn't listening to what the community wanted. Hume Martin, president and chief executive officer of Rouge Val- ley, admits the public was right. He said the biggest lesson the hospital learned from the consultations is that it needs to open doors. Those words are backed up by an open letter to the community thanking them for the commitment to the hospital, and says, "we lis- tened." And hospital officials did listen. Countless residents talked about how important the Ajax and Pick- ering hospital is and how they did- n't want to see any services cut or moved. The hospital listened and has said it is not going to split some ser- vices between its two sites, as pro- posed during those consultations. Residents said they felt the board and administration were hiding in- formation from the community. The hospital listened and it is now focused on doing a better job of keeping the communities informed and involved. To that end, regular state of the hospital addresses are going to take place, with the first one scheduled for June 23 at the Ajax Community Centre. Also, there is going to be a community advisory council. Yvonne Bosch, who helped orga- nize a petition with nearly 11,000 signatures asking for current ser- vices to be maintained and other services to be added, says the hos- pital has taken some good first steps. She feels there is more openness in the relationship between the hos- pital and the community. It took a long time and a lot of negative comments from the public for hospital officials to realize they weren't doing a good job communi- cating. They should be commended for admitting where they needed to im- prove and for taking the steps to help further communication. The real test of the new relation- ship will be if the hospital continues with this new open arrangement after the dust has settled from the consultations. As Pickering and Ajax continue to grow, hospital staff and adminis- tration need to work together and work with the community to ensure a healthy hospital for years to come.

All makes and models of mo- torcycles are welcome to take part in Bikes for Bat- ten - the Dylan Carr Memo- rial Ride June 6. And even if motorcycling is not an op- tion, the hog owners are asking people to partici- pate by giving. For eight years, Durham HOG Chapter 9237 mem- bers have fought to raise funds to treat and find a cure for Batten disease, a killer of children. Ten-year-old Dylan Carr of Durham was one of the victims of this disease, which is the most common form of a group of disorders called neuronal ceroid lipo- fuscinoses (NCLs). Dylan died in August 2002. The particularly cruel disease inflicts mental impairment, worsening seizures, pro- gressive loss of sight and motor skills on the children it strikes. Eventually, chil- dren with Juvenile Batten disease become blind, bedridden and unable to communicate. Batten dis- ease is always fatal. David Joseph is one of the organizers of this year’s ride. “Last year we had 163 bikes and more than 200 people,” he says. “We raised approximately $30,000 and we hope to match that or better last year’s result.” Not only is the cause an important one, but Mr. Joseph says it’s a good time for participants. “What makes this ride different is that it is police escorted, which means it’s a straight ride without brakes.” The ride leaves Mackie Harley Davidson, 880 Champlain Ave., Oshawa, at 10 a.m. Sunday, June 6. Registration begins at 8 a.m. The ride ends at Greenwood Conservation Area for a barbecue and prizes. Meanwhile, the group is looking for prizes, dona- tions and a big turnout.

Police said the 17-year-old was walking home through a parking lot on Bushmill Street around 9:45 p.m. when a group of five or six males began harassing her. When she told them to leave her alone, one of them tossed a fire- cracker in her face, police said. The assailants took off and the young woman went home, then to hospital. She was treated for fa- cial burns and released. Police searched the area but were unable to find any suspects. Suspects are described as young black males wearing dark, baggy clothes and bandanas over their faces.

Mazda is a proud sponsor of AJAX MAZDA 365 Bayly St., Ajax 905-428-0088 WHITBY MAZDA 1250 Dundas St., E., Whitby 905-668-6881 who was chairing the meeting, allowed those present to make delega- tions. Because of the re- ferral motion, the com- mittee could not discuss the report. The majority spoke out against the study and in favour of protecting the Duffin-Rouge Agricultur- al Preserve, which under the preferred option in the consulting report, would see development of the Cherrywood neigh- bourhood for 37,900 resi- dents. “I’m here to urge coun- cil to hold off on accepting the consultant’s report at anytime,” said resident Sandy Rider, a member of the Whitevale and District Residents’ Association. “There is a divisive feel- ing on this report and the divisiveness is over the development of the agri- cultural preserve.” L and in the preserve currently has easements on it designating it agri- cultural in perpetuity. In order for the proposed de- velopment to move ahead, those easements, which are held by the City, would have to be lifted. Don Harvey, who lives in Cherrywood, said some people say in perpetuity is ambiguous. “It’s not. It means forev- er,” he said. “None of us gets to decide what to do with our land when you live in a municipality. I can’t put townhouses on my property or a high rise. We’re all subject to re- straints.” Rob Lyon, a landowner in the preserve, favours the study. “The growth manage- ment study is the appro- priate venue to examine development in Picker- ing,” he said. “The people who are commenting are all people from adjacent lands, they are not landowners.” He told the committee the study should be en- dorsed. “If you don’t, what other choice do we have?” Mr. Lyon said. “We have to have housing some- where.” David Steele, chairman of Pickering Ajax Citizens To gether for the environ- ment (PACT), also spoke in favour of the study. “PACT does support the growth management study to date and it does look forward to future re- ports,” he said. PA CT wants to see studies done concerning surface water and groundwater in what it sees as the more environ- mentally sensitive Seaton lands. “We’re looking at very sensitive lands,” he said citing the cold water streams and large wood lots on the east side of Duffins Creek. The report is to come back no later than Tues- day, June 29, which is the last meeting before the summer recess. Majority want protection ✦ Majority from page 1 one in here has honour.” Whitby Councillor Gerry Emm said the issue of di- rect election never came up with previous chairmen until Mr. Anderson came along. Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson said Mr. An- derson would probably just get elected back to the post since he is the incumbent. Rather than voting on the matter, Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce asked that the motion to have the chair elected be received for information, which would prevent the issue from being brought up again for a year. The suggestion brought a flurry of heated com- ments about whether re- ceiving it rather than vot- ing on it would be seen as skirting the issue in the eyes of the public. “But I think at the end of this lengthy road, we need to take a stand on it,” said Pickering Councillor Mark Holland, who encouraged councillors to “vote how we feel.” Other councillors felt the decisions made by the local councils had already made their views clear. The motion to receive was eventually passed - and the issue was thought to be dead - when Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson used a section of the Mu- nicipal Act to rescind the decision. Now the issue will be dealt with again at the next regional council meeting June 16. Earlier in the day, two delegations - including John Lewis from the Durham Region Labour Council, which represents 280,000 labourers in the re- gion - spoke of the need for a directly elected chair. Orono resident Linda Gasser, who has spoken on many regional issues, was challenged on everything from her definition of democracy to whether a candidate from north Durham could get elected. The harshest criticism came from Coun. Johnson, who heatedly asked Ms. Gasser if she knew the his- tory of Durham. “Then, do you think it’s fair to our forefathers who created this region...to change something that was created 30 years ago?” he asked, red-faced and point- ing a finger at Ms. Gasser. “What you’re saying is ‘Don’t change the system because there’s history there,’” said Ms. Gasser. “Should we halt progress?” Tension mounts over chairman RICK JOHNSON Be fair to forefathers. ✦ Te nsion from page 1 A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 28, 2004 www.durhamregion.com PRE-HARVEST SALE The Home of FLASH FROZEN fruit and vegetables, pies, cookie and muffin batters and meats.

Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner has been push- ing for the pedestrian bridge, which would connect the Picker- ing GO Train station with the City’s core, for some time. He had hoped construction would start in 2003. “It’s a lot slower than I thought but with the change in govern- ment there were discussions with the new minister and their staff,” he said. The vision for the bridge goes back nearly eight years to when Hwy. 401 was widened and the footings for the bridge were put in to place. In January, Pickering council agreed to the final stage of the deal with the private sector part- ner that is to build the bridge (who cannot be named yet), but details are still being worked out. “We’re still in the stages of working with the Ministry of Transportation on the side tow- ers,” Coun. Brenner said. The private company wants to place advertisements on the bridge’s large side towers. “Because the towers are visible to the 401 they still have to sort that out with the Ministry of Transportation,” he said. “It’s still moving along. There’s still the dis- cussions with GO on one side and the owners of the Pickering Town Centre on the other side.” Coun. Brenner said once the bridge is built it is going to be a big asset to Pickering’s core. “When it’s complete it will have very positive ramifications for our downtown core and hopefully it will kick-start redevelopment,” he said.

Health Department staff will be distrib- uting Celebrate in the Right Spirit promo- tional packages, including a keepsake plas- tic cup with tips on responsible drinking, party planning and safe boating at partici- pating marinas in Durham Region.

Almost half of all Canadians have high cholesterol.Although reducing cholesterol in your diet can help, it’s rarely enough. That’s because your own body makes more than double the cholesterol consumed in your diet. New Swiss Vegapure®can safely reduce LDL cholesterol levels.Naturally-sourced from soybean and sunflower oils, Swiss Vegapure®can be taken alone or combined with prescription cholesterol lowering medications. New Swiss Vegapure®capsules are available at leading health food stores and pharmacies. Your body MAKES MORE CHOLESTEROL than you EAT. Recently, medical research has shown that antioxidants such as lutein, zeaxanthin, green tea extract, lycopene and alpha lipoic acid,plus omega 3 fatty acids have demonstrated important anti-aging health benefits. New Swiss Herbal Total One™ is the only timed-release anti- aging formula available. It has up to 30 times more of these key antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids than the best selling brands. In fact, many multivitamins you might consider ‘complete’ don’t have any at all. So, if you’re over 40 and serious about fighting the effects of aging,compare new SwissHerbal Total One™ to any other brand. For vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, this anti-aging formula really adds up. Available at leading health food stores and pharmacies. www.swissherbal.ca www.swissherbal.ca New Store Hours: Mon. - Wed. 9 a.m. - 6 p.m., Thurs. & Fri. 9 a.m. - 9 p.m., Sat 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., S un. 11 a.m. -6 p.m. 900 Champlain Ave., Oshaw a 1-800-642-4561 or (905) 723-5211 FLOOR MODEL CLEARANCE Sale Ends 6pm Sharp Sunday This Weekend Only We Pay Th e G ST * On Selected Items Throughout The Store!! *Credit equal to the value of the GST.

Offer valid on purchases made until May 31, 2004 Approximate retail value of $300.00 NEWS ADVERTISER SUCCESS STORY Hi my name is Blake Turner and I have been a News Advertiser carrier for two years now. I enjoy my route. I have learned many important things. One thing I have learned is how to manage my time. It is important on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday for me to fit my papers into my schedule. At times it has been tricky trying to manage homework, soccer practice and papers, but I have always succeeded in doing all of these tasks on time. Another thing I have learned is how to manage my money. After collection I divide my money up making sure that 80% goes into my bank account. The remaining 20% is what I use for spending. When my bank account reached $1000.00 I invested this money in a GIC. I feel that I have set aside my money for the future. I may use this money when I go to University. With my spending money I have purchased gifts for my family, an X box, Game Boy SP and books. I really try to only spend my money on the things I really need and want because I know how much hard work goes into earning this money. My parents also help me with my paper route, they help me bundle and deliver the papers on days when the weather is bad. I appreciate their support. I feel really proud when my customers compliment me on a job well done. I am happy that I have a paper route, it is an excellent way to earn money and learn responsibility.

Ryan Mason, 20, appeared on video and was remanded in custody until his next appearance in June. He is ac- cused, along with a 17-year-old who cannot be named, of second-degree murder in the death of Ms. Ustupski on Mother’s Day. The appearance lasted just min- utes. When it was over, the family members filed silently from the court- room, congregating in the hallway to go over what had just happened. Ms. Ustupski’s relatives have vowed to attend each court appearance of the co-accused until there is a trial, which may not occur for years. “We just want to make sure the jus- tice system does its job,” said Sylwia Ustupski, granddaughter of the slain woman. “It’s going to be a long road, but we’re ready for that.” The May 9 killing shocked the fami- ly and the community. Ms. Ustupski was found dead in her apartment in a King Street seniors’ residence around 1 p.m. She had died of stab wounds. A few days later, Durham Regional Police laid the murder charges against the two accused. Sylwia Ustupski, 21, said her grand- mother’s large family - she had four children, 15 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren - have come to- gether to deal with their grief and now, the justice system. “Everybody’s trying to help each other out, and get through this,” she said. She said the shock of her grand- mother’s violent death lingers for all her relatives. “I was very close with her,” Ms. Us- tupski said. “She was one of the most wonderful people in my life. “She’s somebody I will never for- get.” Ryan Mason is to appear by video again June 23. The youth who is also accused of second-degree murder is scheduled to make a video appear- ance in Oshawa June 1.

Since opening its Whitby showroom, Total Home Comfort has seen its heating and air conditioning business grow throughout the Durham Region. “Most of our business comes from referrals,” said F lood. “Our objective is to provide high quality work that will prompt each client to say something positive about us to their family and friends.” The Total Home Comfort team has been together for many years - previously with another local heating and air conditioning company and since 2001. The installation team of Paul Hughes, Jim McKenzie and Paul Kinghan bring a combined total of more than 40 years of experience. Along with office manager, Sandy Walsh and sales rep Floyd MacKinnon, the Total Home Comfort team is enthusiastic about the future of the company. “There are many changes coming to the heating and air conditioning business,” said Flood. “It’s vital that we stay on top of new technology and the latest environmentally products.” Total Home Comfort accomplishes this by ensuring that its technicians and installers are industry certified and receive continuous training. “In addition, we use the industry’s leading products in the manufacturing of Puron air conditioning products. Carrier leads the industry in this new technology and we are pleased to include their products,” said Flood. As proud as he is of his company, Ivan Flood also beams with pride when describing the Total Home Comfort hockey team pictures prominently displayed in the office. It has been a team sponsor for the past three years and its jerseys can be seen at the Ajax Community Centre on most Saturday and Sunday mornings.

A Durham fixture since 1949, the family owned and operated business is now in it’s 55th year of serving its loyal customers, who have nominated it for “Best Heating and Air Conditioning Business” for the Readers Choice Awards. It previously won in 1997, 2000, and 2001. Rodman’s has a reputation for its superior service by licensed technicians. They began installing oil furnaces, continued with gas heating, and later branched out into air conditioning, which is now a major part of its business due to new housing development exploding across Durham. Rodman’s works alongside well-respected manufactures such as Tempstar and Carrier for its home installations, with Continental fireplaces and Instaflame ceramic burners. While the company offers a standard maintenance package, it’s unique in that it also provides a yearly insurance plan for its furnace and air conditioning units. The company attributes its success to its individual focus on the customer. People are treated like family or old friends, not mere numbers. In fact, much of Rodman’s business is based on referrals from happy customers who’ve spread the word. However Rodman’s is more than just a business; it’s an integral part of the community. It’s lent its support to a number of minor-league sports teams in the area and has been a major sponsor of events like the Ajax Fall Festival, as well as the Ajax Home Week.

Available in Sizes 51⁄2 - 11 Genuine leather woven vamp perfect for warm summer weather Slapshot wins roller-coaster model event PICKERING – St. Mary stu- dents have delivered a golden slapshot. Slapshot, a model roller- coaster built by Grade 12 physics students Kevin Cryan, Shown Coultice, Katelyn Margerm and Heather Nottbeck, took top prize at the Wonder- coaster Competition held at Canada’s Wonderland. It was the third year in a row that a St. Mary Catholic Secondary School team has won the event, which is held as part of Wonderland’s Physics, Math and Science Day. Groups of up to four stu- dents work for an entire semester to build a model roller-coaster in which a ball bearing must run under the influence of gravity along a continuous track. Winning the compe- tition involves achieving the highest technical merit score, which is de- termined by a mathemati- cal formula that is based on drop height, time of r un, and the size and number of loops. Students must use the concepts of physics, as well as their own ingenuity and imagi- nation to build the coast- ers.

COMRA veteran is always on watch By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM – Jim Weldon's life is a blend of boats, burgers and bal- ance sheets. During the day, the 58-year-old is a McDonald's manager on Rit- son Road. At night, he doubles as a chartered accountant. And then, there's what he does on his spare time. The real thrill for this Whitby resident comes at the helm of a 32-foot Bertram for the City of Oshawa Marine Rescue Associa- tion (COMRA) - a group of 50 vol- unteers who provide marine search and rescue around the clock on Lake Ontario during the boating season. "There's nothing like a little in- teraction, a little adrenaline rush," said Mr. Weldon, who is entering his 32nd season with COMRA. "As a chartered accountant, there are very few things you can do to test your mettle, and this is one of them. We're as good as it gets. "I carry a pager, so one minute I could be doing a fairly complex spreadsheet, then I drop whatev- er I'm doing and go, and the neat thing is you never know what you're going to get." It takes just five minutes to drive from his day job to Oshawa Harbour. From there, COMRA (part of the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary) patrols the wa- ters from the Ajax/Whitby Town line to just east of Newcastle, trav- elling as far south as the U.S. bor- der for a variety of marine emer- gencies. "I love being out there on a nice day," said Mr. Weldon, a boater since the age of 4. "Some days...you think you're in the Caribbean. Other days, you think you're in somebody's sewer. "But the crew I have...they're crackerjacks - they're A-1. In bad weather, you need a good experi- enced crew because you don't have the time to worry what someone's going to do. I've been out on the lake with 20-foot waves, and it can go to a prover- bial hell-in-a-handbasket fairly quickly." One such hell hit six years ago during the Oshawa Yacht Club's annual race between Oshawa and Niagara Falls. "It was probably the worst weather I've ever seen on Lake Ontario," said Mr. Weldon. "It was windy, raining and waves between 18 and 20 feet. One sailboat went out; had its rudder wrecked and sails torn. They weren't going any- where. They were in major trou- ble. They were about eight miles out when they put the call in for help." After three flares shot from the sailboat, Mr. Weldon and his team found the crew of six drifting helplessly in the surf. "It took us a while to actually get over to them. We were battling waves...and there was the danger of either one of us (crashing) down on each other. On our sec- ond attempt we got a line over to them, and then the real fun be- gins because now you've got a 34- foot sailboat tethered to you in re- ally bad weather and it's eight or nine miles back to Oshawa," he said. The sailboat seemed close to capsizing with every wave, said Mr. Weldon, adding that both boats had to take the surf in tan- dem or the towline would snap. "One of our guys was on the back deck with a fire axe, and his only job was to cut that line if the sailboat rolled...but most of the time when I looked back...all I could see was that yellow rope disappearing into a wall of water," he said. Four hours later, with the rain still falling hard, they reached the harbour, where Mr. Weldon could- n't believe his eyes. "As I got closer to the dock, I could see people standing in the rain holding up a sign. There were six women - the wives of the six guys on the sailboat - and they were holding up a handmade sign. They had been listening to (the rescue) on the radio for hours, and the sign just said 'Thank you, Comra,'" he said. "We saved six lives that after- noon...it makes you feel real good. It makes it all worthwhile." But it's not just boats that need help - sometimes it's balloons, too. Mr. Weldon said once a hot air balloon was forced to make an emergency landing on the lake one grey, windy day. Dragged through the water in a wicker basket by its shroud were three passengers. Comra quickly pulled alongside and plucked the trio into their boat. "They wanted us to save this balloon...and I'm doing head counts the whole time...then I re- alize the balloon pilot is missing. He had collapsed," said Mr. Wel- don. "Carbon monoxide from the boat had accumulated under the balloon and he'd passed out. I fig- ured, 'Great, I saved him, now I'm killing him,' so we decided to cut the balloon to get him out but the guy who owned it said we couldn't because it costs $1,500 every time it rips...so I handed over the wheel and grabbed a fire axe. "The guy said 'What are you doing?' and I said, "I'm about to spend $4,500 of your money, be- cause I'm getting him out of there." Mr. Weldon performed CPR to revive the grey-faced pilot, who, aside from being a little woozy, was fine. "I've been pretty fortunate. I've got a profession, I work hard and do well, but this is just part of the way I give back to the communi- ty," he said. "It's something I really get a kick out of. It keeps life interest- ing. When that pager goes off, you never know what you're going to get." A/P PAGE 28 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 28, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Billboard MAY 28, 2004 Durham lifesaver is coming to your rescue Jim Weldon leads a busy life as a chartered accountant and McDonald’s man- ager. When he’s not working on those jobs he’s at the helm of the City of Os- hawa Marine Rescue Association’s vessel which patrols Lake Ontario right across Durham. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 28, 2004 PAGE 29 A/P Great divide remains across Durham Smokers stand up for their rights as smoking ban looms This is the last of a three-part series looking at Durham Re- gion’s smoking bylaw, which comes into effect June 1. This week: The residents By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – There’s a clear divide about the merits of the smoking bylaw here that depends on which end of the burning cigarette you’re on. On a sunny Wednesday after- noon, Linda White and two of her fellow Wal-Mart co-workers lounge in folding camping chairs between parked cars at the Whit- by store at Taunton Road and Brock Street. They light cigarette after ciga- rette and bemoan about not being able to light up indoors. “We’re a non-person now, we can’t do anything,” said Ms. White, who lives in Whitby. “If you’re a non-smoker, why don’t you stay home from the bar? You (non-smokers) have a choice. I don’t have a choice now.” The smoking ladies don’t be- lieve in enclosed, designated smoking rooms, either, calling them “like a fog” and “disgust- ing.” And their non-smoking friends would never sit in there with them, the group said. At their old Wal-Mart store, the smokers had a room, but “weren’t even allowed to have the door open,” Ms. White said. The Durham Region-wide smoking bylaw will ban smoking in all public and work spaces as of June 1. Smokers can puff on pa- tios, while casinos, bingo halls and racetracks can have a desig- nated smoking room (DSR) no more than 25 per cent of their total public space. Although many of the non- smokers interviewed are celebrat- ing the soon-to-be cleaner air in Durham, many still believe bars and restaurants should be al- lowed DSRs. “Myself, I don’t smoke and when I go out to eat or with my grandchildren or family, I don’t want to inhale second-hand smoke,” said Anne Finlay from Port Perry. “If people want to smoke, they should have their own section to enjoy it without the rest of us having to breathe it in.” Even non-smoking Dave Knight, joining his buddies for a regular visit at west Pickering’s Fox Goes Free pub, said a total ban is wrong. “I don’t see second-hand smoke as an issue (here) because of the good ventilation,” he said. “If a bar wants to become non-smok- ing...it should be their choice.” Mr. Knight’s fellow drinkers agree. “I think they (bars/restaurants) should be allowed designated smoking rooms. I don’t see any reason why they can’t have them,” said Len Mills, from Scarborough. “(Cigarettes) are a legal product.” Mr. Mills said he wouldn’t stop attending the pub, but “probably won’t come as often.” Other mem- bers of the group - some who’ve been drinking at the bar for nine years - said they’ll never come back after the pub goes smoke free. Other residents like Oshawa’s Deanna Peacock have different concerns outside of bars and restaurants. “The only bad thing is that I feel bad for the seniors,” said Ms. Peacock, who works in one of the Region-run long-term care facili- ties that will no longer have desig- nated smoking rooms come June 1. W hat these people must think, being 90 years old, and having their cigarettes taken away from them.” Ms. Peacock feels residents will resort to smoking in their bed- rooms, and is worried the defiant moves may result in fires. Yet the ultimate goal of the smoking bylaw is to protect every- one from second-hand smoke - especially employees, said Alex Connor, a manager of environ- mental health who will be respon- sible for enforcing bylaw 66-2002. The Region is kicking off the smoke-free bylaw on World No Tobacco Day, Monday, May 31 at 11 a.m. at Durham College. Visit www.region.durham.on.ca for in- formation. Parkside is celebrating and saying goodbye Community salutes a golden era of education Stephanie Mason Special to the News Advertiser AJAX –Unforgettable memories - that’s how Frank Sharon re- members Parkside Public School. “When I was there we had our 25th anniversary,” he said. “It’s interesting to see how the school progressed since then.” A principal there between 1978 and 1982, he has plenty of memo- ries of the facility that past and present students and staff are saying goodbye to next month. The Ajax school is celebrating its 50th anniversary, but after being an educational catalyst for students and staff for such a long time, it’s also closing its doors for- ever. Public school board trustees approved the school’s closure about two years ago, and stu- dents will attend Bolton C. Falby or Carruthers Creek public schools. Gurlynn Khara, a Grade 8 stu- dent, notes her older siblings went to Parkside. “I’m very honoured,” she said. “I feel proud to be one of the last ones to go.” The last day of school is June 25. Banners of the Parkside Pan- thers will soon be removed from the walls, loud clunks and the clicking of shoes and boots will no longer be heard, and the totem pole that stands proud and tall in the main foyer will be removed. “It was a very quiet public school,” says Mr. Sharon. “It’s the reverse plan of St. Andrews Pub- lic School.” St. Andrews was a Grade 6 to 8 public school that welcomed Grade 5s from Parkside. It burnt down in the late 1970s. From there Parkside gradually became a kindergarten to Grade 8 school. Mr. Sharon returned to Park- side May 14 to share his memo- ries with students. Over the years, he’s noticed many changes. He says the Anglican church that used to be next door has disap- peared, and the school has had many additions over the years, including a new front entrance and a round-about drop-off area. Mr. Sharon said even though the school is shutting down he has memories that will always be a part of him. “There were a lot of good mem- ories and I’ll never forget them,” he said. Doug Ferguson will also miss Parkside. He was a student when it opened in 1954 and went on to be principal from 1989 to 1992. He says Parkside was an in- credible experience. “Great memories, that’s what education is about, teaching kids,” said Mr. Ferguson. Carl Moore is coming from Texas for the event. “I have fond memories growing up in Ajax, watching the town de- velop,” he says in an e-mail. “Col- lecting stamps from the dis- placed people staying in the bar- racks where Parkside and St. An- drew’s were built, watching the shopping centre being built and the hospital being moved to its new location, getting account No. 1 at the Royal bank when it opened, working part-time at the shell station near Hwy. 401 and at Ajax Cleaners.” Mr. Moore sent the school three photos that were taken just before Parkside opened. Before Parkside, there was an interim school, South Junior Public School. “I remember the two-room school like it was yesterday,” he says, identifying himself in the centre of a photo in a light- coloured jacket. To say goodbye, Parkside is hosting a reunion and everyone is invited to take part in two days of festivities that run Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5. Adults can enjoy a pub night June 4 at the Ajax Legion, 111 Hunt St. The event starts at 7:30 p.m. and ends at 1 a.m. The cost is $15 or $25 per couple. Food is included. The big finale is June 5 when anyone can attend Parkside and enjoy entertainment, including a chance to tour decorated class- rooms featuring different decades, a storytime with a spe- cial guest, a recreational volley- ball game, the unveiling of time capsules and a closing ceremony. The event begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. Residents can enjoy cakes and refreshments. Also, Lick’s is selling barbecue treats. Anyone interested in partici- pating in the volleyball game must pre-register by calling Park- side at 905-683-0921 or e-mailing parkside_ps@durham.edu.on.ca. Anyone interested in adding personal touches to the event is encouraged to loan memorabilia. For more information, call Park- side at 905-683-0921. The school is at 85 Kings Cres- cent. There will be old photos, plenty of stories and other activities next month when Parkside Public School celebrates its 50th anniversary, and the closing of the Ajax facility. This photo is of the black tarpaper two-room school used prior to Parkside being build. Kinsmen flip for this Trek PICKERING – The Trek to Tim- mins is back. The Kinsmen and Kinette Club of Pickering is commemorating 40 years of Kin involvement by taking on the fight against cystic fibrosis. The ‘Trek to Timmins 2’ fund-raiser helps promote find- ing a cure for cystic fibrosis. The club is holding a barbecue at the Pickering Sobeys to sup- port two cyclists from the Bow- manville chapter of Kin. They are cycling to Timmins for a District Convention and to raise money and awareness for cystic fibrosis. Randy Cruickshank and Kathy Alexander are following in the footsteps of Jim Eberly of the Bolton Kinsmen Club through their 10-day hike to Timmins in June. Mr. Eberly walked from Bolton to Timmins in 1994. The barbecue is Sunday, May 30 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine. For more information on the ‘Trek to Timmins’ or to make a donation to cystic fibrosis, call Brian Evely at 647-297-3297 or e- mail brian@evely.com or www.co-opportunity.com/kin- clubs.

'The Day After Tomorrow' Directed by Roland Emmerich Starring Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllen- haal, Ian Holm, Emmy Rossum, Sela Ward Research by climatologist Jack Hall indicates global warming could trigger an abrupt and catastrophic shift in the planet's climate. The ice cores that he's drilled in Antarctica show that it happened before, 10,000 years ago. And now he's warning of- ficials that it could happen again if they don't act soon. But his warning comes too late. Severe weather events unfold around the world: hail the size of grapefruit batters Tokyo, record-breaking hurricane winds pound Hawaii, snow falls in New Delhi, and tornadoes whip through Los Angeles. Global warming has pushed the planet over the edge and into a new Ice Age in one super storm. Also opening this weekend are 'Soul Plane' and 'Raising Helen.'

Jim Veltman, the longtime cap- tain of the National Lacrosse League's (NLL) Toronto Rock, was at the Pickering Recreation Complex for his first training ses- sion with his newest Rock team- mates since agreeing to join the senior 'B' lacrosse team last weekend. And, the easygoing Veltman –– one of the winningest and most decorated players in pro lacrosse history –– was as glad to be there as his teammates, coaches and management were to have him on the roster. Goaltender Mike Miron says bringing Veltman on board will lift the level of play of the younger team members. "There's no doubt Jim is going to help us immensely," says Miron, who played pro last sea- son for the Arizona Sting after his former team, the Columbus Landsharks, were moved to the desert. "Just his leadership alone should improve our club. His leadership is legendary." Miron adds he and the other members of the Rock are looking forward to playing alongside Velt- man and learning from his vast experience. "The younger guys are going to have a person to look up to and there's no better role model to look up to than Jim Veltman." Veltman will be in the Rock lineup for the team's home game against the Arthur Aces at the complex Saturday at 7 p.m. Veltman says joining the Rock for the summer accomplishes a couple of off-season goals. The 38-year-old is coming off arguably his finest pro season with the Rock. He was named the league's most valuable player and was also named a first-team all-pro for the seventh time in his career. "It's the closest place to my (Stouffville) home and I was looking for something close. I want to stay in shape for the NLL season and, at my age, you still have to stay in shape. I can't af- ford to take a summer off and stay in the same shape I was in," says Veltman, a phys. ed teacher at Agincourt Collegiate in Scar- borough. He's also familiar with Rock head coach and general manager Paul St. John, who played with him in Brampton with the Excel- siors and in British Columbia with the Coquitlam Adanacs. "I know Paul, I played with him for a couple of years, so that should make the transition a lit- tle easier," he says. "I like his (coaching) philosophy. I'm pleased with what I heard. We have the same sort of feeling for the game. He likes to play run- and-gun and beat the other team running. It's all the things fans like to see and the way players like to play." Veltman allows that he was also considering playing in the Major Series with the Excelsiors. He says, however, that the inten- sity and the high risk of injury kept him from going that route. "That was a big part of it," he says. A serious injury was "less likely to happen in senior 'B'. Playing 17 games in the Major Se- ries in Victoria was really hard on my body. I'm still looking for com- petition, but I was looking per- haps for less intensity, but not less competition." Attending an Ajax-Pickering Rock game recently went a long way toward galvanizing his deci- sion to play in the senior 'B' league. "I watched their Kitchener-Wa- terloo game and it was fast action with a lot of skills. I wanted to play a fast game and display skills and I think I saw that at this level," he says. But, Veltman warns that he's only looking to play a role in im- proving the fortunes of the 1-4-1 Rock, which started the season with four successive losses. "I'm not here to be a saviour. Lacrosse is like a lot of team sports and it's always about the team. I have 20 other guys I have to rely on. What I do best is try to bring out the best in them. I need other people to perform with me," he says. NOTES:Veltman says he's still upset by the Toronto Rock's de- parture in the semifinal of the NLL playoffs. And, he's hell-bent that the Rock will not settle for anything less than a title in 2005. "We want to rectify that for next year"... The Rock host a fund- raising dance tonight (Friday) at the Don Beer Arena (upstairs) from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Tickets are $25 at the door.

The 38-year-old star of the National Lacrosse League is looking forward to playing locally, while staying in shape during the summer.

Except, of course, if you choose to tie the knot at sea. When getting married on a cruise ship, you’ll have a host of professionals trained to accommodate your every need. From cakes to tuxe- dos, accommodations to the reception hall, you won’t have to go off-board for anything. Unless of course you choose to have your reception on shore,in which case, the amenities come to you. Imagine saying your vows on the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean, on a hillside vineyard in Italy, or on the snowy-white glaciers of Alaska. The pos- sibilities are endless. There are a few stipula- tions when getting married on a cruise ship. First, the captain generally does not marry the couple (except with Princess Cruises). A wedding officiant will be provided by the cruise line for that purpose. Second, cruise weddings take place while in port, not while at sea. You can choose to get married on board when in port or at a selected location on shore. Finally, the bride and groom must be sailing on the cruise in order to get married on it. Your guests can,however,board the ship for the wedding without sailing on the cruise. Many cruise lines pro- vide wedding packages and coordinators to make sure that your day is special and r uns smoothly. Carnival Cruise Lines, Norwegian Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, and Royal Caribbean International, all provide wedding packages for couples sailing on their ships. Crystal Cruises and Cunard Line do not allow weddings on their ships. The cost of tying the knot at sea ranges from $900 to $2,400 USD and generally includes transportation to and from the port, wedding facilities, wedding officiant, wedding coordinator, cere- mony music, flowers for the bride and groom, cake, champagne, photographer, wedding album, and dinner. Many will also arrange spa and hair appointments, as well as tuxedo rentals. Of course, each line has their own packages. At Ajax-Pickering CruiseShipCenters you can be rest assured that one of the most memorable days of your life will be handled with the utmost of experi- ence and professionalism. We have a Wedding Specialist onboard to assist you with all the details. Call us at 905-619-0323 or drop by the Westney Heights Plaza, beside Shoppers Drug Mart.
