Review of OMB goes public UOIT lays out funding issues President says some students may have to look elsewhere By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM –Some engineering students may be forced to find another school unless the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Te c hnology can find funding to keep building. UOIT president Gary Polon- sky made the comment at re- gional council last week while being questioned by Chairman Roger Anderson. “If you don’t get this funding, Gary, in fairness... students won’t be able to finish and will have to go elsewhere?” asked Mr. Anderson. Mr. Polonsky answered yes. The possible result of UOIT’s funding problems have never been fully made public. The university is in limbo with the Province over the $190 mil- lion it needs to finish three build- ings at the Simcoe Street north campus. The school’s business plan needs to be approved before the balance of the money keeps flow- ing. After that, UOIT needs to se- cure funds to build the engineer- Residents can have their say June 24 in Pickering By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM –The chairman of a Greater Toronto Area task force is praising the Province’s an- nouncement of Ontario Munici- pal Board reform. “It’s all good news so far,” said Durham Chairman Roger Ander- son, who last year headed up a task force comprised of all the GTA municipalities that called for serious changes to the board. The OMB is the provincial ap- peal body that hears planning disputes between developers and local municipalities. John Gerret- sen, the minister of municipal af- fairs and housing, said he wants to “strengthen Ontario’s commu- nities” with reform to the board. A public meeting is being held in Pickering this month. The Liberals were sharply criti- cal of the OMB during the last election, saying that under the Conservatives, the board “consis- tently overruled elected local offi- cials, giving the go-ahead to pro- jects that only made sense to the developers.” Mr. Anderson points to the vil- lage of Brooklin in north Whitby as an example. Neither the Re- gion nor the Town wanted mas- sive development to happen, but the OMB ruled with the develop- ers. Brooklin’s population has ex- ploded from 1,875 in 1980 to 5,400 in 2000 to an estimated 11,650 in 2004. “Although Brooklin has turned out to be an absolutely beautiful community, it has cost the Re- gion an awful lot of money,” Mr. Anderson said. “It literally hop- scotched development.” The GTA task force recom- mended several changes to the board, including: • enabling timely planning de- cisions based on complete infor- mation from the applicant before an appeal can be made; ✦See Province page 5 ✦See School’s page 5 A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 6, 2004 www.durhamregion.com WHITBY 1540 Dundas Street East Northwest corner of Thickson & Dundas 668-4300 PICKERING 1755 Pickering Parkway Northeast corner of Hwy. 401 & Brock Rd. 427-2047 MATTRESSES • FURNITURE • LINEN • FUTON S Financing Available • Credit Cards Accepted Single $ 329 75 Single $ 329 75 Double $ 379 95 Queen $ 399 95 Double $ 379 95 Queen $ 399 95 Sets From: Guaranteed Best Price!

Pickering site will expand capacity in 2007 PICKERING – Ontario Power Generation has re- ceived the OK to move ahead and expand the Pickering Waste Manage- ment Facility. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (the nuclear regulator in Cana- da) announced Friday it agreed with OPG’s envi- ronmental screening re- port. The environmental as- sessment (EA) found the expansion “is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects”; the commission agreed with that finding and so the commission decided not to refer the project to the fed- eral minister of the envi- ronment for referral to a review panel or mediator. “What this means is we can go forward with...the facility,” said Jacquie McInnes, OPG spokesman. “We’re very pleased.” OPG held several open houses to gather feedback from the public and other stakeholders before the screening report was cre- ated and submitted to the CNSC for approval. There is already one storage facility on the Pick- ering nuclear site but it will be full by late 2008 or early 2009. Additional capacity for storage of used fuel is needed to support the con- tinued operation of the station and in order to store waste from the facili- ty on site. This second phase will use the dry stor- age process, a regulated technology that has been in use at Pickering Nuclear since 1996. The expansion is to be completed in two stages with stage one in service by 2007 and stage two by 2016. The proposed site of the phase II facility is on OPG- owned land east of the nu- clear station. Now that the EA is com- plete, OPG can move on to apply for a licence to run the facility. A separate public hearing on a licence amendment application from OPG will be held at a later date, probably in the fall. Friend of accused was ‘unaware’ of computer search By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM –A prosecution witness has denied trying to destroy evidence of a computer search for infor- mation on Roy Jones that was carried out shortly be- fore his slaying. Patrick Brown, a long- time friend of defendant Cosmo Jacobson, rejected an assertion that he tried to eradicate traces of an Internet search on his computer after Mr. Jones was shot to death on an Ajax street in February of 2001. The accusation was lev- elled by Paul Burstein, lawyer for co-accused Sean Hall. He made the asser- tion during a sometimes testy exchange with Mr. Brown in the Superior Court of Justice Wednes- day afternoon. “Isn’t it true, Mr. Brown, that you went to great lengths to find remnants of Mr. Jacobson’s computer searches?” Mr. Burstein asked. “You went to great lengths to remove those remnants from your com- puter,” the lawyer charged. “Not at all,” Mr. Brown replied. “I was unaware of that information, or that search.” Mr. Brown, a former em- ployee of a large computer company, said that, even if he’d been aware of such a search, he would know bet- ter than to try and remove traces of it from the hard drive. But Mr. Burstein, who subjected Mr. Brown to several hours of cross-ex- amination, said Mr. Brown was probably present on January 6, 2001, when a computer search for infor- mation on Mr. Jones and his address was carried out using various search en- gines. The lawyer also said Mr. Jacobson, who was often at Mr. Brown’s resi- dence, was the one who carried out the search. Mr. Burstein has been dogged in his attempts to chip away at the credibility of witnesses, particularly friends of Mr. Jacobson’s who have been called by the Crown in the first-de- gree murder trial. At the outset of the trial, Mr. Jacobson tried to plead guilty to manslaughter in Mr. Jones’ death, a move rejected by prosecutor Paul Murray. And court has heard evidence from another friend of Mr. Ja- cobson’s, who testified the defendant told him he merely stood lookout the night Mr. Jones was shot four times and left to die on Pickering Beach Road in Ajax. Mr. Hall has pleaded not guilty. Mr. Jacobson’s defence strategy has created a tense dynamic in the trial, which is being argued by six lawyers in front of Jus- tice Donald Ferguson and a 12-member jury. The two co-defendants, formerly close friends, sit at either ends of the bench in the prisoner’s dock and never speak to one another, or even make eye contact. They are silent, except to converse with their lawyers. The apparent attempt to shift blame to Mr. Hall has led to Mr. Burstein striving to depict witnesses as un- reliable. He has taken pains to bring out informa- tion about criminal records and inconsisten- cies in their testimony. The Crown is trying to prove a theory that Mr. Jones, an acquaintance of Mr. Jacobson’s, was mur- dered to prevent him from testifying in court against Mr. Jacobson and Mr. Jones. The two were charged in connection with a home invasion robbery in June of 2000. The trial continues. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 6, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P 1640 Ritson Road N.

The bird was found in north Scugog May 27, and submitted for testing June 1 said Glendene Collins of the health department. The crow has a probable positive test result, but still needs to be confirmed by a lab, said Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s med- ical officer of health, at a health and social services committee meeting Thurs- day. The health department has sent in 16 birds for test- ing since the West Nile sur- veillance began the end of April. Of the 75 birds tested in Durham last year, six crows and one hawk tested positive for West Nile. Two mosquito pools also tested positive for West Nile. Across Ontario in 2003, 242 birds tested positive for the virus, along with 135 mos- quito pools. While Durham had no human cases of West Nile, there were 89 cases in On- tario, with two deaths in which the virus was, or may have been, a factor, the health department said. West Nile is spread to hu- mans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosqui- toes become infected by feeding on the blood of an infected bird. The disease is not spread from person to person or bird to person. The health department will continue larviciding and trapping mosquitoes this year, said Ken Gorman, director of environmental health. Last year, the de- partment did a study on mosquitoes and storm water-management ponds, and is receiving interna- tional acclaim for it, he added. Of the 110 SWMPs moni- tored last year, 17 were found to be breeding grounds for mosquitoes, he said. Those will be moni- tored this year. Residents are encour- aged to call the health de- partment when they find any dead crows, blue jays and raptors (eagles, hawks, owls). While the depart- ment will not pick up birds unsuitable for testing, they will be logged. “A r ea residents represent the eyes of the surveillance team and everyone’s partic- ipation in the observation of dead (birds) is essential to the success of this pro- gram,” said Ross MacEach- ern, manager of environ- mental health. To protect yourself against mosquito bites, the health department recom- mends measures such as: • Removing standing water (including bird baths) from around your home where mosquitoes could lay their eggs • Remove tires and fill depressions in lawns; • Clean and chlorinate swimming pools and hot tubs; and • Wear shoes, socks, light-coloured clothing with long sleeves and long pants when outside, especially during evening, night or dawn. For information, call the department at 905-723-8521.

Four arrested in drug bust DURHAM –A raid on an Oshawa house has result- ed in the arrest of four people, including an Ajax man, and the seizure of $4,800 worth of drugs. Officers with the Durham Regional Police drug enforcement unit ex- ecuted a search warrant at the Elgin Court home, in the Stevenson Road and Adelaide Avenue area, Thursday. Inside, they found four people and seized 34 grams of mari- juana, 28 grams of crack cocaine and 16 grams of powdered cocaine, as well as $600 in cash. Charged with posses- sion of a controlled sub- stance for the purpose of trafficking are Andrew Mar tinborough, 21, of Ajax; Robert Headly, 45, of Oshawa, 22-year-old Jason Crittenden of no fixed ad- dress, and a youth who cannot be named. Suspected carrier sent for West Nile test ing building for third- and fourth-year students, plus education and justice and student services buildings. The (engineering) build- ing is subject to getting money from the Province, but the university would be willing to fund the pro- ject on its own, Mr. Polon- sky said. “In fairness of full disclo- sure, the Province does have a say in the first $190 million because Durham College is involved,” Mr. Polonsky said. “Universities are au- tonomous in a way col- leges are not” because col- leges are agencies of the crown. “It’s my prediction that the parties will shake hands imminently on the business plan,” he said. The university continues to try and secure land, Mr. Polonsky added. The own- ers of land the school is in- terested in obtaining have been invited to dinner and asked to “talk to UOIT” if they ever consider selling. Mr. Polonsky called the university “a smash hit,” and said that even he was surprised at how success- ful it has been. Applica- tions are up 29 per cent, with 5,000 students apply- ing for UOIT’s 2,000 spots for next year. “Now we’re asking you to be instrumental in grow- ing the university,” Mr. Polonsky said. Mr. Polonsky received reassurances the $10 mil- lion promised from Durham Region would continue.• provide funding to allow citizens to hire lawyers and expert witness- es; • leaving urban boundary expansions to the local mu- nicipalities. The Province is looking for public input on the OMB, including its man- date and accountability, how the board can be made more accessible to the pub- lic, and board members’ qualifications and length of tenure. “He (Minister Gerretsen) has the support of the GTA municipalities, and we’re looking forward to being part of the consultation process,” Mr. Anderson said.

War is hell and it didn't get much worse than the cauldron of D-Day. While we have grainy film and pictures and, of course, first-person histories to refer to, there is nothing like the crosses, row on row, of the cemeteries in Normandy that tell of D-Day's ultimate cost. It's all a grim reminder of Operation Overlord, the largest combined land, sea and air invasion in history. Many months in the planning, it involved the Allied Expeditionary Force (British, Canadian and American troops) under the com- bined command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower and signed off on by then U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. And, on D-Day, this incredible massed force largely caught Adolf Hitler's German army off guard. In spite of the defences at Normandy and the heavy casualties faced by the Allies during the invasion, the fuhrer had expected an attack much further east on the French coast, near Calais. It all worked out from June 6 on, as the Allies pushed through France, Belgium and Holland and on through Ger- many, though it took about 11 months of blood, sweat and tears to finish the war. At Juno Beach, where the Canadians had such tremendous D-Day success, the pavilion there celebrates our achieve- ments during the worst war in all of history. For, it was at Juno beach that troops made such a quick, clear advance, reminiscent in some ways of the famous First World War tri- umph by our soldiers at Vimy Ridge. We played a huge role in the success of the Allies and we should be proud of what we accomplished. As our D-Day vets take part this weekend in the festivities in Normandy, we should all take time to remember what they did for us. They helped change the world at tremendous personal sacrifice. Lies make elections hard to stomach To the editor: Another election is upon us and try- ing to pick the party that will tell the least amount lies is going to be hard. The lies that the Ontario Liberals (Dalton McGuinty) told during the last election have really made me think that all candidates will lie just to get elected. Then, when they are elected, they just sit back and collect their pay. I would like to know how Paul Mar- tin, being finance minister at the time money was going to the sponsorship fund, could say he didn't know about it. If you are finance minister, isn't it your job to know where the money is going? An item by Karen MacDonald, the Green Party candidate in Ajax-Picker- ing Riding, that I would like to see made into law, is that a financial report be done and published every quarter, the way big companies have to. I'm sure there are enough civil servants to handle it. If that was done then the parties would not be able to say they didn't know there was such a big deficit. Plus, I think the country has a right to know how far in debt we are.

Yes folks, politics is a great big steaming pile. Winston Churchill once said, "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried." That very well may be true, but why do we have to stop trying to improve it? No, we can't change the election system overnight, but it's time to start looking at tweaking the sys- tem a little. Maybe even a lot. It has to be done in a careful fashion of course, based on the ed- ucated opinions, research and un- biased work of a lot of different people. And changes could be ex- perimented with slowly. But good- ness, we're at a standstill right now, we have to try something dif- ferent. How do we do this? Take the election process out of the hands of politicians. Think about this question: What is the No. 1 priori- ty of any politician? It's not to af- fect change, stand up for their con- stituents or make the world a bet- ter place. No, the answer is a basic one: To be re-elected. Hey, certainly there are excep- tions out there. There are good politicians who run to make a dif- ference and step aside when the time is right, but they're pretty rare. So, knowing politicians don't want to change a system that put them where they are, and that will help keep them there, let's take that power away from them. But, how can we do that? Well, our current politicians have to be told over and over again that people want change. A quick idea to throw out there for study and experimentation: ex- pand the powers of Elections Canada and its equivalents at var- ious levels. Respected former lead- ers, out of politics and with no af- filiations, should be chosen and given the power to determine if a government has gone too far in breaking its promises and call for a referendum on issues as contro- versial as those proposed by the Ontario Liberals in their last bud- get. Waiting four to five years to vote them out in protest isn't good democracy at all. Neither is wait- ing three years to get rid of politi- cians who vote themselves big raises and won't change the way they appoint the most important politician in the region.

Democracy doesn't work, people David Stell n e w s e d i t o r Sending an SOS DURHAM –Strap on your helmet and enjoy the ride. That’s the message for anyone interested in joining the Durham group Seniors On Spokes (SOS) as they pedal their way into anoth- er fun-filled season of cy- cling adventures. “You don’t have to be a good rider,” said Beverley Keith, who, along with her husband, has been riding with the group for the past five years. “You start out slowly and gradually im- prove.” Without setting foot on a bike in years, it’s not sur- prising many people have been reluctant to join the group for fear of slowing the other riders down. But there’s no need to worry, ac- cording to Jim Boate, a longtime member of the group. “Our group will travel at a slow pace so people can keep up,” Mr. Boate said. What began several years ago as a small group of General Motors retirees, has evolved into a weekly ritual for a growing number of people in their mid-50s to mid-70s. “There is a really good fellowship for older people,” Mr. Boate said. “Sometimes people even bring their grandchildren with them for a ride.” Along with a recreational approach to physical fit- ness, SOS provides retirees with an opportunity to meet new people while re- discovering the joy of cy- cling. The group’s light- hearted nature also paves the way for its charitable ef- forts within the community. Riders are encouraged to pitch in one dollar each week and all proceeds are then donated to local chari- ties or bike trails at the end of the season. As the season wraps up with an annual potluck lunch, an informal vote is cast to determine where the money will be do- nated. In previous years, the group has made dona- tions to the Salvation Army, Simcoe Hall Settle- ment House and the Os- hawa’s Parks Department. “Because we use all the bike paths, we’d like to help service or maintain them,” Mrs. Keith said. From May through Sep- tember, the group meets one day per week to joyride through quiet city streets or in the midst of nature on local bike trails. Though the majority of rides take place in the Oshawa, Whitby and Courtice areas, occasional- ly they will travel to Cobourg, Peterborough or Toronto. “Every time you are going to a new place, it’s a new ad- venture,” Mrs. Keith said. A passion for cycling and an insatiable hunger for ad- venture has led several members of the group on cross-border tours through Quebec and even as far as the Caribbean. Tackling ex- treme heat and unfamiliar turf, 10 of these spunky se- niors ventured out on a two-week cycling tour of Cuba last February. SOS kicked off the 2004 season with a trip to Nia- gara Falls on May 3. The three-day trip included cy- cling tours of Niagara-on- the-Lake and Fort Erie. Regular weekly meetings are held on Thursday mornings at 9 a.m. when riding locally, and at 10 a.m. when travelling out of town. “J ust show up with a water bottle, a bicycle and a helmet,” Mr. Boate said.

Conservative candidate Tim Dobson supports nuclear energy. “In my view the reactors at Pickering have served Ontario well from the years they’ve been in service, both from ener- gy production and from an environmen- tal perspective,” he said, adding they have reduced air pollution. “I have al- ways supported the nuclear program in Ontario and Canada.” A manager with Ontario Power Gener- ation, Mr. Dobson said he doesn’t see any compelling reason for any new reac- tors for Pickering, but he would like to see the rehabilitation work finished on the Pickering A reactors so they can get back up and running. Canada has an important role to play in the nuclear field, he added. “We recommend that nuclear energy is an integral part of Canada’s energy mix,” he said. “Canada does play a role as a leader of nuclear energy develop- ment.” Dan McTeague, who is seeking his fourth term as a Liberal MP when resi- dents go the polls June 28, agrees there is a place for nuclear energy in Canada. “It is very much an important part of our social infrastructure. Nuclear energy is what has distinguished Ontario’s eco- nomic prowess from other provinces,” he said. “Notwithstanding its protractors, it is the energy of our past and conceiv- ably the energy of our future.” Mr. McTeague said energy production in the future is going to be a hybrid of many different methods - methods that would help Canada meet its commit- ments to the Kyoto Accord to reduce emissions. “Nuclear is part of that, but it is not the only part of that,” he said. If the need for more reactors arose, Mr. McTeague said he would listen. “If that was what the community wanted... If we have the room and it meets the needs of the community,” he said. “If the local government wishes to do that, I’m willing to listen.” The other candidates running are not supportive of nuclear power. NDP candidate Gary Dale said his party is prefers green energy. “We’re against nuclear power. We’re not going to shut down the Pickering plant, but we will put in legislation so there are no new nuclear facilities built,” he said. “We’re not going to continue to pour billions of dollars into technology that is hazardous and costly.” As well, he added, once the current fa- cilities reach the end of their lifespan they would be shut down. “The NDP is going to put in programs for sustainable energy, green energy,” he said. “(Nuclear energy) is horribly ex- pensive to build, it’s expensive to oper- ate and it never lived up to its promise of clean power for everyone.” Mr. Dale contends the NDP’s plan wouldn’t take jobs away from areas where the economy is dependent on en- ergy production, such as Pickering. “Our idea is we will replace them with green energy sources that will be operat- ing in the same location,” he said. Matthew Pollesel of the Green Party doesn’t want to see money invested in nuclear technology. “More money should be spent on other sources of energy, such as wind and solar power,” he said. Mr. Pollesel said he would like to see nuclear facilities phased out. “Ultimately that should be the goal,” he said. “Canadian society as a whole should move towards cleaner, safer ener- gy sources.” If there were investments in green en- ergy sources there may not be the need for nuclear reactors in Durham or Scar- borough, he said.

Candidates talk aid for cities Municipalities will get help, but how it will happen varies from party to party By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM –The Liberals are commit- ted not just to giving municipalities funding to address their infrastruc- ture needs, but also "a seat at the table for national issues," says Mark Holland. The Liberal candidate in the Ajax- Pickering riding for the June 28 elec- tion was referring to Prime Minister Paul Martin's pledge to allocate five cents of the federal gasoline tax to municipalities. In five years, he says it would mean $2 billion a year for mu- nicipalities. "That's why the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has endorsed the prime minister's plan," says Mr. Holland. "It's unprecedented that the prime minister has elevated the issue to where it is at the federal level." If elected, Mr. Holland says he would do his part to ensure the three levels of government are communi- cating to assess local infrastructure priorities. "I would want to meet regularly with our municipal and provincial counterparts," he says.

But our motivation only seems to kick in with the start of summer. There’s nothing like warm weather to encourage us to get outdoors, even if it’s only to begin a walking program. As with any new exercise, if you are over the age of 35, you should get a medical evaluation before beginning. A great way to ease into an exercise routine is to start walking. Walking not only burns fat, it tightens muscles and lowers lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Our walking rate as we go about out daily activities is approximately three miles per hour. The average person should walk at a pace of about one third faster (four miles per hour) to reach a desired exercise heart rate. We need to protect out feet, therefore a good walking shoe is very important. It should provide the most flexibility at the middle of the sole. While walking, your feet do not require the same impact protection as when you are running, so your soles do not have to be thick. Before you begin walking, it is always a good idea to start with at least five minutes of stretching exercises. After you stretch, begin walking slowly. Do so for about five minutes to increase your heart rate. Then walk briskly for about 25-30 minutes. Your walk should end with a five minute decrease in speed to cool down and than five minutes of stretching to prevent stiffness and increase flexibility. Never wear ankle weights. They will put pressure on y our joints that evolution never anticipated and are sure to cause future problems. Safe walking is great for all ages. Here are some summer exercise tips to get you ready for your warm weather wardrobe: 1. Dress appropriately for the temperature. Wear light coloured, loose fitting clothing. Always wear a hat with a visor and use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. 2. Drink a lot of water before, during and after the walk. Don’t wait until you are thirsty, by then it’s too late and you may already be dehydrated. 3. Give yourself time to adapt to warmer weather. Exercising in the summer heat puts more strain on the body than in cooler temperatures. 4. Walk in the morning or early evening when it’s cooler and traffic is lighter. 5. Make sure you are visible when walking at night. The greatest threat to the health of a walker is an inattentive driver. Wear bright clothing with reflective tape on your arms, front and back. Also carry a flashlight. 6. Avoid busy streets. Carry only enough money for a phone call or emergencies. 7. Obey the rules of the road. Walk facing traffic where there are no sidewalks. Like any form of exercise, walking should be done in moderation, every other day. If you are concerned about the weather outside, you can always mall walk. Most malls are open early in the morning, and are a perfect temperature. Just think; you won’t have to worry about a pet owner who neglected to scoop their poop.

Jeff Wong featured in “Honey” & “Get Over It” Shawn Byfield featured in Disneys “The Music Man” Breanne Ross featured in “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” Wilson Wong featured at The Stratford Festival committed to "community-based decision making." As a result, the party's platform includes allocating a share of fed- eral tax revenues to municipali- ties, money they can spend on local priorities. She says that would help towns and cities deal with the down- loading of services from provin- cial levels of government. "The burden is really heavy on the municipalities," says Ms. Mac- Donald. She supports infrastructure partnerships between all levels of government, since the same elec- tors in each community vote in politicians. "I don't think that a municipali- ty, if it feels the need to expand a road or whatever, should bear the brunt of the whole expense," says Ms. MacDonald. She says allocating a share of the gasoline tax to municipalities is a good idea. On the campaign trail and if elected, Ms. MacDon- ald says her job is to be a good lis- tener. "We're being told that our gov- ernment knows what we want, but nobody's even asked us," she says. "I want to listen... instead of assuming what they want." The NDP's hopes in the riding rest on Kevin Modeste. He says the party is intent on helping mu- nicipalities that have more re- sponsibilities, but not enough money to meet them. "Downloading has done a num- ber on our cities," he says. "Things like transit, infrastructure, afford- able housing, there's money that can be invested into our urban areas and the NDP will do that." The money would come from the federal gas tax: half of it would go to towns and cities. He says the Ontario NDP proposed a sim- ilar idea more than two years ago. Mr. Modeste says the party's national infrastructure program calls for the federal government to work with other levels of gov- ernment on issues such as a na- tional drinking water standard and waste reduction. Other priorities include infilling in urban areas to take advantage of existing services rather than extending them to the suburbs. He points to areas along Conces- sion 3 in Pickering that are grow- ing, but far from services such as transit. Mr. Modeste supports infra- structure partnerships between the three levels of government. The Conservative Party also supports giving municipalities more revenue, up to three cents per litre off the federal excise tax on gasoline. "We're going to make the tax revenue available to the provinces and let them deal with it," says candidate Rene Soetens. "Our money is going to be for in- frastructure and the local MP won't be interfering with munici- palities on how it is spent," he says. In that context, Mr. Soetens does not support the federal gov- ernment having a say on where infrastructure money is spent. He says there's already too much in- terference by higher levels of gov- ernment in municipal affairs. "We have different priorities," he says. "Do you really want the fed- eral government debating if the Town of Ajax library should be ex- panded?" Mr. Soetens says beyond fund- ing support for infrastructure needs at the local level, "we think there's obviously some improve- ments that are regulatory in scope rather than building some- thing." Transporting hazardous waste in Canada, for example, means dealing with 11 different jurisdic- tions, he says, suggesting more uniformity is required. Candidates like infrastructure partnerships ✦ Candidates from page 9 AJAX-PICKERING RIDING VOTES Millennium scholarships recognize leaders and achievement P ICKERING –Two Pickering youths were awarded scholar- ships for excellence in the com- munity and the classroom. Kristen Johannes and Ar- salan Shirazi were among the winners when the Canada Mil- lennium Scholarship Founda- tion recently announced its Mil- lennium Excellence Awards. The awards recognize commu- nity involvement, the demon- stration of leadership abilities, innovative thinking, and acade- mic achievements. “These laureates represent a promising and bright future for our country,” said Franca Guc- ciardi, director of the awards program. “They are the thinkers, the mentors and most importantly, the leaders of to- morrow.” The scholarship offers each student a one-time award of $4,000 toward the cost of stud- ies at any Canadian university or college this fall. Ms. Johannes attends Dun- barton High School in Picker- ing where she spearheaded a crew that naturalized the courtyard with plants and helped organize an awareness campaign to motivate students to recycle. In addition, she is also a part of the of the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Program and a volunteer for the Royal Canadian Legion, lending a hand in such areas as designing and producing a monthly newsletter and bridging the generation gap with veterans. She will further her nurturing skills at the University of To ronto, where she will study psychology. Mr. Shirazi also attends Dun- barton and is chairman of his school’s leadership committee, where he encourages students to develop leadership skills. He organized a camp for students to develop the tools they need to take action and make a dif- ference in their community. Concerned about religious in- tolerance and the growing mis- trust of Muslims in the commu- nity, he organized a dialogue in- volving 200 people. The event’s g uest speaker, former Toronto Raptor Mamadou N’Diaye, dis- cussed his life and faith. Mr. Shirazi is a talented ath- lete, especially in soccer as competes at the provincial level. He is interested in studying art or political sciences at uni- versity and plans to become a lawyer.

In brief JUNE 6, 2004 www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 6, 2004 PAGE 13 A/P Dan Carter shows courage in overcoming tragedy DURHAM – Dan Carter believes he was placed on this earth for a purpose. A recipient of an award marking his courage to overcome addiction, he sees the honour as an opportunity to share the wealth of his experience. The Centre of Addiction and Mental Health Foundation pre- sents the Courage to Come Back Award to those who have over- come mental illness or addic- tions who then use their person- al triumph to help others. Launched in 1993, the awards gala is held each year in Toronto to recognize these achievements while raising funds and public awareness. Today Mr. Carter describes himself as a successful broad- caster who embraces life and the challenges he faces, but his child- hood was a journey with many obstacles. Soon after he was born, his mother died of a brain aneurysm. The last child of eight, Mr. Carter said losing his mother meant losing his family because, in those days, fathers didn’t raise their babies alone. Mr. Carter was placed in the care of the Children’s Aid Society and he was eventually adopted by the Carter family. Though content with his new mother, father, sister and two brothers, tragedy ambushed Mr. Carter throughout his life. When he was eight, Mr. Carter was raped while delivering newspa- pers near his Agincourt neigh- bourhood. “I never talked about it until 19 91 because I felt ashamed,” said Mr. Carter.. When he was 13, another tragedy propelled him down a dark tunnel of drugs and alcohol, which very nearly killed him. In 1974, Mr. Carter’s brother, an undercover police officer, was found dead. And while the inves- tigation could not prove it was more than an accident, suspicion surrounded the event. From that day and for the next 18 years until he was 31, Mr. Carter at- tempted to drown himself in drugs and alcohol, losing any semblance of a life along the way. By the time Mr. Carter’s sister, Maureen, made a serious at- tempt to intervene, he carried just 105 pounds on his six-foot frame. “She whacked me on the side of the head,” said Mr. Carter. “I can still feel it today, and she said to me, ‘Dan, either live or die, but whatever you choose, do it well.’” His sister would later provide a grim test of his determination to stay on track. Nine years after she had saved him from his addictive demons, Mr. Carter’s sister was found in the tub of her posh home with stab wounds to the chest. Her suicide was enough to cause the ground to shift beneath Mr. Carter, but he stood true to the promise of sobriety he had made to himself. The help he had received from the California-based addiction recovery program nine years ear- lier helped Mr. Carter maintain his sobriety in the face of trauma. “If I can survive losing Mau- reen, I can survive anything,” he said. As part of his personal plan for recovery, Mr. Carter chooses to share his experiences with any- one who will listen. He believes sharing could help someone else who is struggling with frighten- ing decisions to choose a healthi- er path. Through his recovery, Mr. Carter said he has had to rebuild the emotional, spiritual, physical and financial parts of his life. He runs marathons, prays and speaks publicly about his life. He wakes every day knowing there are no guarantees when it comes to addiction. “I have an instinct to survive, and because of that, I’ve achieved success,” said Mr. Carter speaking of both his re- covery and his career. Today, the programs produced through Dan Carter Productions reach 640,000 homes across On- tario. His daytime show, ‘First Take LIVE,’ airs five days a week, while another prime time show called ‘Centre Stage’ allows Mr. Carter to do what his mother said he was born to do. “My mother told me (that) when I was very small, I used to walk up to people and ask where they were going, and all sorts of questions,” he said. “She isn’t surprised I earn my living inter- viewing people.” But even when basking in his success, there’s one lesson he learned while coping with his sis- ter’s suicide that he never for- gets. “When you go through so much tragedy, you start to believe death will never knock on your door again,” he said. “How could it? The odds are against it. But you can never predict how things will happen, and my sister’s sui- cide hurts now, three years later.” Mr. Carter hopes accepting the Courage to Come Back Award will create more opportunities to share his story. Meanwhile, he said there is so much value in re- maining sober. “Sobriety gives me the oppor- tunity to be able to survive.” Coming back from the brink News Advertiser file photo Durham television host Dan Carter is the recipient of the Centre of Addiction and Mental Health Foundation’s Courage to Come Back Award. He sees the honour as a chance to share his experiences and hopefully help others.

The Pickering Museum Village held its annual Steam Up and Opening spring kick-off event, the prelude to a summer of activity. PICKERING – A local dental hy- gienist has received provincial honours. Catherine Grater-Nakamura was honoured recently with the Distinguished Service Award, presented by the Ontario Dental Hygienists’ Association (ODHA). The award recognizes Ms. Grater-Nakamura’s service to the profession of dental hygiene and to the association.

Pickering woman earns distinguished honour St. Mary wins junior girls’ soccer crown in a shootout over Ajax High By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — A lot of sweat and a few tears were left on the field following a hard-fought Durham Region junior girls' soccer final. Battling heat, exhaustion and the physical rigours of playing two games within hours of each other, the St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School Monarchs and the Ajax High School Rams were unwilling to lose in an all-out battle to decide the Lake On- tario Secondary School Athlet- ics (LOSSA) championship at All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whitby Friday after- noon. Scoreless through two 35- minute halves, followed by two 10-minute sudden-death over- time periods, the game was de- cided on penalty kicks. And, on this afternoon the soccer fates sided in favour of the Monarchs. Alex Martinez, Erin Small and Jennifer Michalicka all found room behind Ajax High Rams' goalkeeper Katie Painter. Mean- while, Monarchs' keeper Stephanie Michalicka made three big saves to give St. Mary the junior title by a slim 1-0 deci- sion. "I was kind of nervous. As it was the final game, I knew I had to be confident, so I could make the saves for the team," says Stephanie Michalicka. She said she and her team- mates deserved the victory, after dominating much of the contest. But, she was well aware that in a final decided by a shootout, any- thing could happen. "It was tough, but I knew that all my teammates were very con- fident. I knew we had the game. It was so intense though, and I was trying to win it for them. I didn't want it to go to a shootout, but I knew we couldn't give up." St. Mary coach Melanie Cay- ford says she was happy for her team. "It's exciting, but only if you come out on the winning end," says the relieved coach at the end of the contest. "I still be- lieved we were the better team today. We were outrunning and outshooting them." By contrast, for Ajax coaches Craig Nemis and Dan Gauci, it was a tough way to lose. The squad battled gamely through- out the final, withstanding everything the Monarchs threw at them during regulation and overtime. "It was too bad we couldn't have played until somebody scored," says Nemis, who added, "But it could have taken a long time." For the Monarchs, the LOSSA title capped a solid 13-0-1 season, including a 7-0-1 record during the regular season. The team's lone draw, 0-0, was with the Uxbridge Secondary School Tigers. Almost as significant was the fact the Monarchs surrendered only one goal in 14 games. The Monarchs, says Cayford, were a team in the truest sense of the word, with everyone pulling and encouraging one an- other through the entire soccer season. "They're such a good group of girls," she says. "Everyone is so energetic and so positive. They really support each other and I've really enjoyed coaching them." The Monarchs scored a 3-0 victory over the Sinclair Sec- ondary School Celtics of Whitby in the semifinal contest, also played at All Saints on Friday morning. Meanwhile, the Rams booked their ticket to the final with a 4-0 victory over the Monsignor Paul Dwyer Saints of Oshawa in the other semifinal. Ajax can also boast about an outstanding season, finishing with the silver medal. They recorded a league mark of 6-1-1 this season, improving markedly over a 1-6 regular season a sea- son ago. "Our goal was to make the playoffs and see what would happen, so we're happy," says Gauci. "They brought their usual enthusiasm and they were never willing to give up." GAME NOTES:Kelly Johnstone scored twice, while Ashley Stevens and Kyla McDonald scored once in Ajax High's semi- final win...

The Spartans took part in the nine-team Agincourt tourna- ment from May 28 to 30. The event featured teams from Nor th York, Markham, Agin- court, Whitby, West Hill, Lea- side, Mississauga, Vaughan and Ajax. In the championship game against North York, the Ajacians fell just short of the title, losing 8-7. Leading 7-6 after five innings, the Spartans couldn't hold back North York in the sixth as they scored two runs to gain the lead. Pitcher Tristan Beadle was named most valuable player by the North York baseball team, after pitching six solid innings and going 3-for-3 at the plate. The Spartans blanked Whitby 3-0 in the semifinal. The game remained scoreless until the top of the sixth inning when Beadle, Jason Jacobs and Brent Bain drew consecutive walks to load the bases. Jake Stevens lifted a line drive into right field to score two runs. The Ajacians scored an insurance run in the seventh when Beadle's single scoring Ryan Singh. Preston Rauh-Wasmund started on the mound, with Bea- dle coming on in relief. The Spartans trounced West Hill 8-1 in the opening game of the tournament. Holding a 3-1 lead early, the Spartans scored three runs in the fifth inning to put the game out of reach. They scored two more runs in the top of the sixth. Riyaaz Patel and Michael Sax- ton held West Hill to three hits, scattering six strikeouts. In Game 2, the Spartans dropped a 5-3 decision to Durham Region rival Whitby. Rauh-Wasmund, Singh and Christopher Harrington crossed the plate for Ajax. The Spartans hammered Markham 12-2 in Game 3 to ad- vance to the semifinals. The game was called after five in- nings, due to the 10-run margin. Michael Saxton drove in three runs and Nicholas Purdy nailed two singles down the third-base line for two RBIs. Rauh-Wasmund threw a no- hitter over four innings, striking out four. Jason Jacobs came on in relief in the bottom of the fifth. Other team members are Alexander Prentice, AJ Burling- ton, Jake Stevens and John Har- rington.

Starting in Whitby, Ontario, the club was founded in 1993 by Ed Dixon, an educator, director/playwright and teacher and has provided fun and educational dramatic experiences to thousands of young people, producing dozens of plays and musicals throughout the province. Last summer The Drama Club partnered with Parks and Rec departments to offer these programs in 12 municipalities from Bowmanville to Toronto and north to Orillia. “Drama is a fantastic vehicle for personal growth,” says Dixon. “I have had many adults tell me that they wish The Drama Club Gets Young People “Into The Act” they had this opportunity when they were young.” The club’s instructors use a specially developed curriculum and plays to bring out the best in young actors. Although the club’s emphasis is not to produce “stars”, Dixon admits that a number of the club’s members have gone on to successful work in community theatre, television, the Stratford Festival and the Toronto theatre scene. “Those kids are the exceptions who have a high degree of talent and perseverance,” says Dixon. “But the neat thing about the Drama Club is that everyone can be successful, from those types to the shy child who needs to gain enough courage to speak in front of others!” The Play in a Week program involves both skill and development and performance and every camp is co- ordinated by a qualified instructor and trained counsellors. Participants in the program start camp on Monday and put on a musical five days later! Each actor will receive a scripted role in the play as well as training in acting, character development, voice projection, singing, dance and theatre games. It’s a week of fun which includes special days, prizes and a performance on stage before parents and friends on Friday. In Durham Region, the camps will be held in Clarington, Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax. A different play will be produced each week and they are open to children ages 5 to 15.
