Cutting down to size Election hopefuls try to establish trust Debate focuses on health, out-of-riding candidates By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer PICKERING – With the sponsor- ship scandal still reverberating three weeks into the federal elec- tion, voter trust in politicians has been an issue for candidates. During a debate Wednesday night, hosted by the News Adver- tiser, Rogers TV, KX 96 and CKDO, candidates in the new riding of Pickering-Scarborough East dealt with the question of why voters should believe what they and their parties are promis- ing. Liberal hopeful Dan McTeague said his party has been rewarded with bigger majorities in each election since being elected in 1993. “The will of the people was to follow our lead,” he said. Green Party candidate Matthew Pollesel challenged him on the issue. “It’s easy to say you had com- Public board releases first draft of budget, reducing class numbers will mean more portables By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – Reducing primary class sizes in Durham public schools will begin this fall and in some cases will mean more portables. The Durham District School Board’s first budget draft was released Wednesday, outlining $490.4 million in 2004/05 operat- ing spending, more than $25 million over the current year. However, a lot of the new money is for new government initiatives, including $2.9 mil- lion for primary class size re- duction. It will largely go to- wards hiring 34.5 teachers, but the board also plans to buy eight new portables, move eight others and renovate classrooms with a goal of reducing junior kindergarten to Grade 3 class sizes to an average of 22 kids. That would be half a student less than the current average. “We have at least eight schools (identified for porta- bles); some schools have porta- bles on site,” operations super- intendent Mark Joel said at the budget meeting, adding they in- clude “a few Whitby schools.” He would not yet release which schools are involved, but trustees didn’t like the sound of it. “It is kind of defeating the purpose of our accommodation plan,” noted Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford, the education finance committee chairman. “We’ve been trying to reduce portables and now we’re adding them in.” “We’re right back in the same ✦See Candidate page 14 ✦See Portable page 5 UTICA FARM EQUIPMENT LIMITED 4320 TRACTOR, 48 Hp with 60” MidMower 4720 TRACTOR, 58 Hp 400X Loader CANADA’S LARGEST COMPACT TRACTOR DEALER 4520 TRACTOR 400X Loader, 448 Backhoe www.teamutica.com NEWNEW 4020 SERIES,From 43 Hp to 58 Hp Powered by JohnDeere PowerTechTM 4 cylinder Turbo Charged Diesels UTICA FARM EQUIPMENT LIMITED 620 Durham Road 21, Port Perr y, Ontario 905-985-9701 P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 11, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Shifting staff to deal with disease outbreak By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – More than 50 pregnant Durham elementary teachers have been redeployed to high schools or are on sick leave due to an ongoing outbreak of fifth disease. Caused by the human parvovirus B19 and also called slapped cheek dis- ease, outbreaks normally occur in ele- mentary school children and there is no treatment. Pregnant and soon-to- be-pregnant women have to be cau- tious as the disease in rare cases can cause severe anemia in an unborn baby or the woman to miscarry. Mark Joel, the Durham District School Board’s operations superin- tendent, says 30 board schools, locat- ed across the region, are affected. He says case was confirmed at Lord Elgin Public School in Ajax and there was an unconfirmed case at Captain Michael VandenBos Public School in Whitby. “They have to be pregnant to be re- assigned,” he says of staff. “Fifth dis- ease is a childhood disease. It has very little affect on adults.” Most teachers have been moved to their area high school to work in the library or resource centre, while a few have taken sick days. A Durham health department fact sheet describes fifth disease as a “mild illness.” Spokesman Glendene Collins says it is not a reportable dis- ease so the department has no infor- mation on how many cases there are in Durham. A family doctor must re- port to the health department inci- dents of severe acute respiratory syn- drome (SARS) and influenza, for ex- ample. She says more than half of the pop- ulation is immune due to previous ex- posure. Chris Hurst, human resources su- perintendent at the Durham Catholic District School Board, says he has not heard of a case in a local Catholic school since late last year. The public board has sent schools a communiqué, requesting that they post a notice at all doorways to advise the general public if there is an inci- dent or case of fifth disease there. Mr. Joel says it is not mandatory to do so, and that the frequency of fifth disease cases was higher a couple of months ago. The health department says the disease is spread through saliva, sneezing and coughing and, rarely, blood. It is usually spread before a deep red rash appears on the face. “A lace-like rash on the trunk, arms and legs may also be seen,” states the health department release. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 11, 2004 PAGE 3 P DRIVER EDUCATION CENTRE 68 HARWOOD AVE.

Reba Mitchell, left, and Gillian Stone led the pack across Durham for the event in aid of Ontario Special Olympics. place with more and more portables,” said Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler, con- cerned the structures aren’t “a safe and secure place” for young pupils. “It is unpalatable to put more children in portables even if it is for the greater good of smaller class sizes,” commented Picker- ing Trustee Sherry Croteau. Reducing primary class sizes was a key campaign promise of the Ontario Liberals. Business superintendent Ed Hodgins’s report to trustees notes that some of the funding formula benchmarks, such as transportation, have been up- dated. “It is really great that they are f inally looking at the bench- marks... but I think they only read half of the (Rozanski) re- port,” said Trustee Crawford. Widely hailed by education stakeholders, the 2002 report called on the government to up- date the benchmarks to better ref lect actual costs. That had not occurred since 1998. “They’re counting new initia- tives as part of the Rozanski money,” Mr. Hodgins says. “So it’s not a catch up, it’s new ini- tiatives.” He emphasized that the gov- ernment’s $800-plus million boost to education funding is significant. But the board still faces cost pressures in areas such as teacher salaries. The government has provided for a two-per cent increase this year, but the board is already obligat- ed to deliver a 0.8 per cent in- crease on Aug. 31 to fulfil expir- ing contract agreements. “The government adjust- ments really did not consider the collective agreements that boards reached, and that’s across the province,” Mr. Hod- gins said in an interview. He says $375 million in gov- ernment money is yet to be allo- cated. As well, “all of the issues around capital accommoda- tion” are yet to be dealt with, which Mr. Hodgins says will delay the timing of the next phase of the board’s accommo- dation plan. The budget reflects $740,000 in one-time funding for energy retrofit projects. Schools slated to benefit include O’Neill Colle- g iate and Vocational Institute in Oshawa and Whitby’s Palmer- ston Avenue Public School, both of which would receive partial window replacements, and Duf- fin’s Bay Public School, in Ajax, due for a new boiler. Mr. Hodgins says the budget will be balanced if the Province makes good on its commitment to fund boards according to their documented special-edu- cation needs. That would mean another $2.8 million for the board. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 11, 2004 PAGE 5 A/P PICKERING OPTOMETRIC CLINIC Dispensing Frames and Contacts Pickering Medical Centre 1885 Glenanna Road, Suite 212 Pickering, Ontario L1V 6R6 905-839-5303 905-683-1175 Lab On Premises Dr. E.

That's what Irv Carr had in mind when he donated K.S. Oliver's 'Census Five' to the City of Pickering. The piece of art was to be one of the showpieces of the soon- to-be-opened Frenchman's Bay East Progress Park. Mr. Carr offered it in memory of his son, who died of Batten disease. Yet in one incomprehensible and senselessness act, a pre- cious gift was attacked by a group of thugs, leaving a mangled mess behind and graffiti on the walls of the Progress Club. A real piece of work, these vandals. A weekend of celebrating the best of Pickering through the annual Frenchman's Bay Festival, ArtFest, dragonboat racing, and a visit by Canada's world sailor, Derek Hatfield, was taint- ed by these acts. A weekend where we welcomed visitors from around Durham and beyond to show them our multicultural best, to show our community spirit and way of life, to trumpet the beauty of the waterfront parks, trails and other amenities has to share the spotlight with cowardice. The immediate reaction is to ask 'Why?' but there really is no answer. This type of destruction just can never be explained away. But, more than ever it underscores the importance of vigilance and ensuring we do everything possible to stop these types of acts. Residents in the area report seeing young people scaling the 16-foot high fence protecting the park. That's a great start for looking into the crime. We 're heading into the worst time of the year for late-night antics and trouble. With the warmer weather comes more op- portunity for troublemakers to stay out late. Petty vandalism and swarmings have continued to grow in Pickering over the last few years. Everyone can do their part by keeping an eye out for any- thing out of the ordinary. And if you have information that can help collar those responsible, call police. Often people fear reporting incidents for fear of retribution, but you can make a call without being identified. Call Crime Stoppers, they protect your identity and even take anonymous tips. Don't let anyone tear our community apart.

Editorials &Opinions FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Editorial Letters to the Editor Felicien and Luttmer are going for gold The 2004 Summer Olympic Games may be a world away in Athens, Greece in August, but the local flavour will be unmis- takable at this historic birthplace of the Games. All local eyes, especially those in Pickering, will be fixed on favoured daughter Perdita Felicien. Based on gold-medal performances at the 2003 World Track and Field Cham- pionships and the 2004 indoor worlds, she'll no doubt be a top con- tender and arguably Canada's best hope for a gold medal when she lines up in the 100-metre hurdles. Our local Olympic contingent doesn't stop with Felicien. There's another who will be out to do Pick- ering proud -- Bernard Luttmer. He'll be on the water in men's laser sailing, earning our country's sole Olympic entry with his perfor- mance at the recent World Laser Sailing Championships in Bodrum, Turkey. After eight years of trying, includ- ing coming agonizingly close to a berth for the 2000 Games, Luttmer has finally arrived. The 24-year-old realized a dream of competing in the Olympics that originated in the learn-to-sail programs at Swan's Marina and the Frenchman's Bay Yac ht Club (FBYC). Slowly, but surely he's taken his place among the very best laser sailors on the planet, but Luttmer is far from content. He has a golden goal. "I see myself winning gold -- that's the only way to go," said a deter- mined Mr. Luttmer at his south Pickering home, enjoying a rare break from racing and training. For those uninitiated with laser sailing, he'll be racing aboard a 14- foot, single-mast sailing vessel. All 45 competitors representing their respective nations at the Olympics will be assigned a boat, all equipped with exactly the same gear. "Laser, to me, is the purest form of sailing out of them all," says Mr. Luttmer. "There's only one boat de- sign, so no one can ever get an ad- vantage. We all get equipment from the same supplier, so it's all the same gear." Luttmer continues a proud tradi- tion of Olympic sailors who first learned their craft on Frenchman's Bay. Fellow FBYC alumnus Rod Davies was Canada's representative at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Now, it's Mr. Luttmer's time and also Ms. Felicien's time. And, it's a great time for local pride in what will be an interesting Olympic Games. Al Rivett's column appears every third Friday. E-mail arivett@durhamregion.com. Our own Olympians to cheer for Al Rivett s p o r t s e d i t o r Column way off the mark To the editor: Re: 'Democracy doesn't work, people,' David Stell column, June 6. I could not disagree more with Mr. Stell's column. But for purposes of this letter I will mention just two points. First, for him to say that the only pur- pose of a politician is to be re-elected is correct, but not for the reasons he gives. To be re-elected, a politician must make their constituents happy. That is by representing them properly when in power. If they fail and are re-elected, you cannot blame the politician, but must point the blame on all those who voted them in. Second, he mentions that salaries are high for politicians. Well my answer is this: Do you want very important jobs to be paid in a minimal manner? That would have the unintended negative consequence of not attracting good peo- ple. Also, successful lawyers, doctors and educators, etc. would not leave their daily jobs to run in public life to be paid poorly. Paul S. Przybylo Pickering 4 DAYS ONLY!

DURHAM – RIDE stops conducted by Durham Regional Police last week- end resulted in three charges of drinking and driving. Officers set up check points in Whitby, Clarington and north Durham over the weekend. They stopped 1,700 vehicles and adminis- tered 87 breath tests, finding three motorists with blood-alcohol levels in excess of the legal limit. A single charge of impaired driving was laid, and six drivers received 12-hour sus- pensions. Three charged in RIDE blitz Staff following procedure by calling in fire department AJAX – The Ajax Fire De- partment was called in to assist the hospital in the cleanup of a small chemi- cal spill Thursday morn- ing. “At 4 a.m. this morning staff working in the lab discovered a small leak of a chemical called xylene, which is used in the pro- cessing of lab slides,” said Katie Cronin-Wood, hospi- tal spokesman. Staff at the hospital fol- lowed procedure by using a chemical absorbent to soak up the chemical, which was cleaned up and bagged an hour later. The fire department was called at 8 a.m. because there was still a chemical smell in the air. The Ministry of Labour, which was called in to in- vestigate, said fire depart- ment tests found no read- ing for the chemical. The MOL gave the hos- pital the OK to reopen the lab at 11 a.m. The chemical is not toxic, but it can cause headaches, dizziness and confusion if people are ex- posed to it for short (14 days) or long periods (a year). “As a precaution all of the staff that were in the lab before (the leak was discovered) were sent to emerge,” Ms. Cronin-Wood said. A total of 18 were sent to be checked out and by mid-afternoon only three checkups remained. None of the chemical got into the hospital’s air, as the lab’s ventilation sys- tem vents to the outside. The density of the chemi- cal would also make it dif- ficult to evaporate into the air. No services at the hospi- tal were disrupted due to the spill and by mid-after- noon everything was back to normal, Ms. Cronin- Wood said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 11, 2004 PAGE 9 A/P SPECIALSALE Carriers of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at (905) 683-5117.

By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM –Unique gunshot residue found on Cosmo Jacob- son’s clothes was similar to that on garments worn by murder vic- tim Roy Jones, a jury heard this week. Traces of tin, an element not often used in ammunition, was found in samples taken from the clothing of both men, a scientist with the Centre of Forensic Sci- ences said during the trial, being heard in the Superior Court of Justice. Tin, used primarily by Euro- pean and Asian manufacturers, was not found in the bullets that killed Mr. Jones, Michael McVicar said under questioning by prose- cutor Paul Murray. He suggested the tin, used to seal the primer that ignites the gun powder in a cartridge, may have been left be- hind by bullets fired from the gun before it was used to kill Mr Jones on Feb. 4, 2001. “It is possible to fire ammuni- tion that does not contain tin and release tin-containing residue from previous firings,” Mr. McVicar said. The jury of eight men and four women heard hours of forensic evidence this week. The testimo- ny was part of the Crown’s effort to link Mr. Jacobson and his co- accused Sean Hall with the slay- ing of Mr. Jones on an Ajax street near his home. The prosecution has put forth a theory that Mr. Jones was killed to prevent him from testifying against the two accused men, who were facing a trial in connec- tion with a home-invasion rob- bery in 2000. This week’s painstaking exami- nation of witnesses focused on work conducted by the Centre of Forensic Sciences on evidence gathered by police in the days fol- lowing Mr. Jones’s murder. The jury listened as Mr. McVicar testi- fied about finding gunshot residue on a number of items of clothing, including jeans, a sweatshirt and leather jackets, which were seized from Mr. Ja- cobson’s home and car. Mr. Jones’s relatives wiped away tears when Mr. Murray pulled from paper bags the pants and blue jacket emblazoned across the back with the word “Security” that the victim wore the night he was attacked and shot numerous times. Pointing to bullet holes in the pants and jacket, Mr. McVicar testified that gunshot residue found on Mr. Jones’s garments was similar to that found on clothes seized by police. In addi- tion to the typical lead, barium and antimony found in all gun- shot residue, the material found on the clothes contained traces of tin, Mr. McVicar said. Tin is not commonly used in ammunition made in North America, he said. “Tin is a material incorporated in the manufacture of ammuni- tion by some manufacturers, but not all,” he said. “It’s somewhat uncommon, but certainly not a rare thing.” Traces of similar gunshot residue were also found in a safe police took from Mr. Jacobson’s room, court heard. Earlier in the week, the trial, which is being heard by the jury and Justice Donald Ferguson, heard DNA evidence linking the clothing to Mr. Jacobson. As well, court was told, a jacket found in a closet bore traces of DNA similar to Mr. Hall’s, according to testi- mony. That jacket was also found to have gunshot residue on it, Mr. McVicar said. The jury also heard that some items found near Mr. Jones’s Twilley Lane home, including binoculars and the drawstring from a sweatshirt, bore DNA sim- ilar to Mr. Jacobson’s. So far the Crown’s case has fo- cused on Mr. Jacobson, also known as Avi Mundy. The trial has heard that Mr. Jacobson told a friend he stood lookout when Mr. Jones was killed, but was not the shooter. The attempt to shift blame to Mr. Jacobson’s one-time friend, Mr. Hall, has created an intrigu- ing dynamic in the case. It is expected the jury will con- tinue hearing evidence until the end of July.

Pickering remembers D-Day Service honours veterans, local legions PICKE R ING –Pickering council took the time Monday to recognize the efforts made by thou- sands of Canadians 60 years ago on D-Day. Monday night the City held a recognition cere- mony to commemorate the 60th anniversary of D- Day and the Battle of Normandy. “History tells us that June 6, 1944 was the be- ginning of the end of the Second World War,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. “The City of Pickering com- memorates the achieve- ments and sacrifices of those who served and died for their country in the struggle for global peace.” On that day, 15,000 Canadian troops were part of an Allied invasion that eventually led to the liberation of France, Hol- land, Belgium and Den- mark. Canada lost 359 sol- diers in the invasion while another 574 were wound- ed and 47 were taken pris- oner. “It is only appropriate that council and all Pick- ering residents remember the thousands of brave Canadians who served and sacrificed to protect the freedoms we enjoy today,” Mayor Ryan said. Members of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 606, Bay Ridges and Branch 483 in Claremont were on hand and a repre- sentative from each branch was presented with a certificate from the City. The Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corps, Har- wood; the Navy league Cadets Corps, Exeter; and the Royal Canadian Army Cadets, Pickering were also on hand for the ceremony. The Pickering Perenni- als Seniors Chorus group led council and guests in the singing of O Canada and God Save the Queen.

Public meeting gathers greenbelt input By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM –Keep it green, residents from across southern Ontario have told a public meeting on the Province’s proposed green- belt. Mo re than 50 people from areas such as Durham, Northumber- land, Scarborough, Oakville and Milton came to Durham College recent- ly for a public meeting in front of the greenbelt task force. “We’re not just protect- ing the birds and bees... if we don’t protect our green- space, our air and food, our quality of life will suffer greatly,” said Jim Robb of the Rouge Duffins Green- space Coalition. “We need to look at green infrastructure as an investment.” The Greenbelt Act, or Bill 27, is looking to estab- lish a permanent band of protected land in Ontario. In December, the Province placed a one-year morato- rium on development on a greenbelt “study area” that stretches from Niagara and the Niagara Escarp- ment, through Halton, Peel, Toronto, York, Durham and into Northumberland. The task force is to re- port back to the Province on how to establish the greenbelt - 90 per cent of which is privately owned - where it will be and how much it will cost. Cities like Berlin and Rome would call the rapid development in the Greater Toronto Area a “crisis” and immediately put in steps to stop it, said lawyer David Donnelly of Environmental Defence Canada. “This generation has had their kick at the can.” Mr. Donnelly said to cheers and applause. Ian Attridge of the Kawartha Heritage Con- servancy said he wants the proposed greenbelt to help with the securement of en- vironmentally sensitive lands, including bigger in- come tax incentives for those who donate their property. Rob Burton, executive director of Clear the Air Coalition drove from Oakville to say how “thrilled” he was over the proposed greenbelt. There is a planning “cri- sis” in Ontario when it comes to waste manage- ment, sprawl, algae in Lake Ontario and deadly air pol- lution, Mr. Burton said. And homeowners are forced to pay for this “cost of growth,” he added. The West Duffins Landowners Group owns about 2,500 acres of land in northwest Pickering and its members feel their land should not be included in the greenbelt. “In our view, this has al- ready been done through the municipal planning process,” said lawyer Stan- ley Makuch of Cassels, Brock and Blackwell LLP, referring to the City of Pickering’s growth man- agement plan that recom- mended portions of the land be developed. “The GTA, in our view, has a significant shortage of land.” Some farmers in atten- dance said they don’t want any more interference from the government on how to run their lands and busi- nesses. The same has been said by local politicians, who want the tools and re- sources to implement any planning legislation, rather than more documents dic- tating what they can do. But the draft recommen- dations of the task force so far show more provincial hands in local planning. They include: • the Province reviewing the way in which “need” for infrastructure is decided; • having an appellate tri- bunal to “uphold the in- teg rity of the plan”; • a provincial task force on agriculture; • special tax incentives for landowners in the greenbelt. “What you’re seeing is the pendulum swinging back and forth,” said Rus- sell Powell, chief adminis- trative officer of the Cen- tral Lake Ontario Conser- vation Association, who sits on the task force. “This provincial govern- ment seems to be more proactive in the planning department.” Alex Georgieff, Durham’s commissioner of planning, said he is cur- rently reviewing the draft paper and “can’t talk” until he makes his report to planning committee on June 8. The Greenbelt Task Fo rce will have its final rec- ommendations to the Province by the end of the summer. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 11, 2004 PAGE 13 A/P PINE RIDGE GARDEN GALLERY 2215 Brock Rd.

The former hockey great signed an autograph for Jay Lekavy in Oshawa. He was also in Ajax for a meet and greet with supporters of Ajax-Pickering riding candidate Mark Holland. Health care, airport and gun registry draw strong reaction By Danielle Milley Staff Writer AJAX – Health care, an airport in north Pickering and the gun reg istry were the hot issues up for debate by candidates in Ajax- Pickering Riding Tuesday night. Liberal Mark Holland, NDP candidate Kevin Modeste and Conservative Rene Soetens faced off over questions from an audience and media panel at the McLean Community Centre. The possibility of building an airport in the northern part of the riding was posed to the candidates. “The only way an airport will arrive in Pickering is if there is a proven need,” said Mr. Soetens, adding efforts to close other small airports such as But- tonville and Oshawa are going to create that need sooner. “There has to be a business case made for an airport in Pick- ering and that hasn’t been proven yet,” Mr. Modeste said. “I’m opposed to an interna- tional airport in north Pickering, it doesn’t make sense,” Mr. Hol- land said. “I think a small region- al airport does make sense.” Health care was a big topic of the evening, with questions con- cerning how problems would be addressed both nationally and locally at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Mr. Holland said we need to reinvest in health care and the Liberals are committed to spending $9 billion over the next five years. Mr. Modeste criticized the plan saying the party has had 11 years to invest in health care. “The Liberal record on this is the antithesis of this,” he said. “We had a throne speech and a budget and it wasn’t even an issue, suddenly there is an elec- tion and it’s a buzz issue.” Mr. Holland refuted the claim later. “If we had put it in the budget we would have been accused of politicizing the budget,” he said. Mr. Modeste said the way to help the local hospital is through investments. “The key problem is funding and the NDP is the only party committed to 25 per cent (fund- ing) for health care,” he said. “If you want anything to be better we have to invest in it.” Mr. Soetens stated his party’s stand on the issue. “We’re committed to the Roy Romanow report. We are the only party that says we will work in the context of the report,” he said. “At the federal level what you have to have is a commit- ment to the Romanow health ac- cord.” Mr. Modeste pointed out the Romanow report is against pri- vatization, which he accused the Conservatives of considering. The audience also wanted to hear each candidate’s thoughts on the gun registry, which has cost close to $1 billion. “It’s a wasted piece of legisla- tion that has cost every Canadi- an $100 a head,” Mr. Soetens said. “The gun control program does need to be retooled,” Mr. Holland said. But, he added as a member of the Durham Regional Police Ser- vices Board he knows what the registry has done; pointing out it has been used 2.2 million times since 1998. “We need to consult with the people who use the gun registry, our law enforcement officials,” Mr. Modeste said, adding there needs to be tougher, boarder controls to prevent illegal weapons from coming into the country. The candidates also talked about the rising cost of post-sec- ondary education, tax cuts and military spending. The debate was hosted by the News Advertiser, Rogers TV, KX 96 and CKDO. Green Party can- didate Karen MacDonald was in- vited to participate but was un- able to attend. The federal election is June 28. Local, national issues tackled at Ajax debate Candidate questions commitment of Liberals mitments when you’re party isn’t committed to anything,” he said. Gary Dale of the New Democ- ratic Party challenged previous Liberal promises, such as working to eliminate child poverty by 2000, reducing greenhouse gases and appointing an independent ethics commissioner. “We will deliver on all of these,” Mr. Dale stated. Conservative candidate Tim Dobson brought up the sponsor- ship scandal. “Prime Minister Paul Martin promised us, before he would go to the electorate, we would find out where the money went,” he said. “Three weeks ago an elec- tion was called and he didn’t de- liver.” About 75 people, most affiliated with one of the candidates, at- tended the debate, held in the au- ditorium of the Pickering central library branch. Candidates were asked which of two options, cutting taxes or in- vesting in services, would prevail if their party were elected. “All are important to me and the Conservative Party,” said Mr. Dobson. “When we laid out our platform, tax cuts would be slow at first and escalating later. We can provide tax cuts to provide funding for programs.” “We’ve seen tax cuts don’t work,” Mr. Dale said, noting after the cuts the government would only have enough money to pay for program overhead. “We want to deliver programs Canadians want and need.” Mr. McTeague said the issue re- quires balance. “Canada still has a $500 billion debt,” he said. “The cost of serv- ing the debt is $40 billion a year. That impacts our ability to fund programs. You can’t produce tax cuts and leave $50 billion unan- swered.” “With these tax cuts, you shift taxes so you’re not taxing those who can’t afford them. You can’t cut taxes recklessly,” Mr. Pollesel stated. Asked about the importance of an MP living in their riding, Mr. Pollesel, an Ottawa resident, viewed it two ways. “In some sense it’s very impor- tant to see what’s important to your constituents,” he said. “Oth- erwise, it’s not so important. From coast to coast to coast, the issues are the same. It’s not a def- inite requirement.” Mr. McTeague, who lives west of Toronto, noted he moved out of the riding so his family wouldn’t have to travel far. “I’m not prepared to put my family’s safety in harm’s way. My years have been effective.” Mr. Dobson, a Pickering resi- dent, said, “I think it’s absolutely essential to live or be very near to the riding.” That allows an MP to “take the pulse of the community. I want my MP to drive on the same streets I drive on.” Mr. Dale also supported having a candidate in the riding. “I’ve lived in the community for 20 years and I have no intention of leaving it,” he said. Repeats of the debate will con- tinue to air on Rogers over the coming weeks. ✦ Candidate from page 1 PICKERING-SCARBOROUGH EAST VOTES TIM DOBSON Conservative MATTHEW POLLESEL Green Party DAN McTEAGUE Liberal GARY DALE NDP Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photos A festival of family fun PICKERING –– Loose-Fish, featuring Ryan Harlock on guitar and vocals and Brian Latimer on drums, was among the musical acts performing at last weekend’s Frenchman’s Bay Festival.

Public school board bus plan still up in the air Issue will be addressed June 21 By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – Public school board trustees are no closer to resolv- ing the issues surrounding their new busing policy after a Mon- day night meeting. About all Durham District School Board trustees decided was not to have a dedicated pub- lic meeting on the matter. But, whether the policy that elimi- nates surplus seating will change or remain the same after the June 21 board meeting is un- known. “Nothing could happen or something could happen,” board chairman Elizabeth Roy said in an interview. Parents still have a chance to comment on the policy through public question period at the board meeting, she said, noting trustees would be in touch with their school councils in the inter- im. Trustee Roy reminded trustees that amending the transportation policy is no easy matter. It would have to be rescinded before trustees agree on changes and approve a new policy, possi- bly at a special summer board meeting. Meanwhile, the clock is tick- ing; while the current school year is winding down, the next is just three months away and parents and board staff are in limbo until a decision is made. “We need to have a solution to this immediately,” said Trustee Roy. About 10 parents attended the meeting on the busing policy, ap- proved at the standing commit- tee level after trustees agreed to skirt procedure. Normally it would have gone to the full board for final approval. “The board made a decision to suspend the rules... they opted out of public input,” said Howard Abbey, co-chairman of the F. M. Heard Public School community council in Whitby. “I don’t think they recognized the familial impact that this has.” Recognizing that most par- ents are working when school lets out, the new policy allows for busing to a daycare facility or second address after school. However, the ability to get a child on an empty or surplus seat on a school bus was re- moved. Roughly 800 students are riding on surplus seats this year. At F. M. Heard, a single-track French Immersion school, most are kindergarten siblings of FI students who will likely enter the program when it starts in Grade 1. W ithout a surplus seat, par- ents have to get students to school. Pickering Trustee Paul Craw- ford again called for a public meeting, suggesting the June 21 board meeting. “I’m not making a decision until the stakeholders have their say,” he said. Oshawa Trustee Michael Bar- rett, however, said if it’s not the will of the board to change the policy, a public meeting would be a waste of time. Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau suggested a grandfa- thering clause, allowing those who have had surplus seating to keep riding until they leave ele- mentary school. “We’re never going to come up with a solution until we start brainstorming ideas,” she said. Even if trustees allow surplus seating, the board will likely have to deal with the issue again next year, said Oshawa Trustee Kath- leen Hopper. If the Province’s new transportation model is im- plemented in the 2005/06 year, board superintendent Ed Hod- gins says it would mean about $3.7 million less in transporta- tion money. “For me, the bottom line has always been that the budget has give and take to it,” she said, adding she wants to know what’s being dropped or cut from the budget if the policy changes. The board’s e-learning and other programs would have to be looked at, said education direc- tor Craig Burch. “I don’t believe there’s a cheap tweaking,” he said. Trustees should have had a public meeting on the issue in March, says Mr. Abbey, who might raise it on Monday, when trustees hear public deputations on the coming year’s budget. Mr. Hodgins says it would cost about $350,000 for siblings to keep riding the bus on surplus seats. “We’re not talking about a lot of money in the grand scheme of things,” says Mr. Abbey, noting the board’s half billion-dollar budget. He questioned why the board’s full transportation grant from the Province is not being used for transportation. Mr. Hodgins has said that in the current budget, roughly $2 million went from the trans- portation budget to support board programs. ELIZABETH ROY Nothing or something could happen. ROGER ANDERSON Concerned with flag. Flag raises questions DURHAM – The Emergency Med- ical Services’ attempt at getting its own flag was abruptly low- ered at the health and social ser- vices committee meeting last week. EMS had developed a flag with the serpentine staff, the letters EMS and the Durham Region D. One flag was blue, for use in colour guards during parades, the other black for funerals, said Richard Armstrong, director of EMS. The flag would be flown under the Region’s flag at EMS stations across Durham. Regional Chairman Roger An- derson said the Region spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on marketing the Durham D, and that no other department has its own flag. Yet the police have their own flag, pointed out Brock Councillor Larry O’Con- nor. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 11, 2004 PAGE 15 P A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 11, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Friday, June 11th to Sunday, June 13th $1999 men’s Haggar short sleeved crew-neck piqué knit top Comparable value $40 don’t miss these Saturday-only specials!

Seniors’ month focuses on fall prevention DURHAM – June is Seniors’ month, and the Durham Region Health De- partment plans to celebrate by high- lighting injury prevention among se- niors. Statistics show that falls are the leading health concern for seniors, and are the leading cause of emer- gency room visits and injury-related deaths for the senior population. A 2001 report showed that there were 629 hospitalizations among Durham seniors as a result of falls. The health department has planned a number of events through- out the month of June to promote fall prevention. Centres participating in the initiative will be giving out gift- sized bottles of sparkling apple juice with an attached fall-prevention mes- sage to seniors attending their events throughout June. Participating retirement homes in Durham will be given free gold rib- bons for staff and residents to wear in celebration of Seniors’ Month. The health department also worked with the students in a Grade 4 class at Waverley Public School in Bowmanville on a new intergenera- tional initiative that gave students an opportunity to participate in various activities with seniors in Durham. One of the activities was a party at Strathaven Lifecare Centre in cele- bration of Seniors’ Month. The health department provides resources with practical tips on pre- venting falls, including the resource pamphlet, ‘It’s Time to Prevent Falls.’ For a copy of the brochure, or for more information, call the Durham Region Health Department at 905- 723-8521 or 1-800-841-2729, ext. 2545.

SEER is calculated using the seasonal cooling output divided by the seasonal energy input in watt-hours for an average climate. Many older air conditioners have SEER ratings of only six or seven. The national efficiency standard for central air conditioners now requires a minimum SEER of 10. To qualify for an Energy Star label, there has to be a SEER rating of 13 or higher. Besides SEER, there are two other factors to check. The first is high temperature performance. Although it’s not a federally rated number, the EER (energy efficiency ration) at 95ºF is available. In addition, a small device called a thermal expansion valve (TXV), preferably factory-installed, should be specified. The TXV improves high temperature performance, and helps the unit deliver its rates efficiency even under adverse conditions. The device costs much less than the service call or inefficiency it guards against. The efficiency of room air conditioners is measured by the EER , which is the ratio of the cooling output divided by the power consumption. A typical new room air conditioner has an EER of about 9.8, which is what’s required by national appliance efficiency standards. The minimum efficiency varies depending on the design and cooling capacity of each unit. The Energy Star criteria for room air conditioners are 10.7 or 10.8. When you’re shopping for central air conditioners, look for SEER r atings over 13 and EER ratings of 11 or higher. High efficiency units generally cost more, but in hot climates, more efficient units pay for themselves over a few years through reduced electricity bills. Central air conditioners are usually more efficient than room air conditioners, however don’t buy a larger system than you need just because it has a higher efficiency.

More than 350 people took part in this year’s event, with many staying around after the walk to enjoy a barbecue. Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo Great Blue Heron says it’s exempt from new rules, Durham doesn’t think so By Chris Hall Staff Writer DURHAM –With one hand holding a burning cigarette, Joan Grech pulls the han- dle on one of the hundreds of slot machines at the Great Blue Heron Charita- ble Casino and hopes for the best. Amid the noisy whistles and beeps of the video lot- tery terminals, a smoky haze hangs over the large room where the slot ma- chines are located despite municipal legislation pro- hibiting smoking in public areas. As her slot machine comes up short of any pay- out, Ms. Grech lets out a sigh, takes a drag from her burning Player’s and hits a button to try her luck again. “This is why I’m here,” says the Markham resi- dent, holding up her ciga- rette. “I’m giving them money, so why can’t I smoke? Why can’t I enjoy a beer or coffee and a smoke while I’m here? “I leave enough money in these machines,” adds Ms. Grech, who says she travels to Scugog “at least once a week, if not twice” to the Scugog Island gambling hall. “I won’t go to Woodbine, I won’t go to the other places where they won’t let you smoke.” A quick tour around the massive casino - which in its promotional materials boasts 50 gaming tables and 452 slot machines - shows that Ms. Grech is not alone. Ashtrays sit beside near- ly every video lottery termi- nal and on almost every gaming table throughout the casino. There are no signs advis- ing patrons of the new smoking bylaw – which as of June 1 restricts smoking in all public places in Durham - however, found on one wall leading into the slot machine area, is one politely asking customers to refrain from smoking cig- ars and pipes on the premises. There is no sign of con- struction of a designated smoking area for smokers - as dictated in the new bylaw, businesses like casi- nos, race tracks and bingo halls wishing to continue to allow smokers in their es- tablishments must create a self-contained smoking area, not to exceed 50 per cent of their total floor space - and, as patrons keep pumping tokens into the slot machines, a casino employee swings by Ms. Grech, empties her ashtray, and with a smile on her face tells Ms. Grech to “keep on smoking. It’s OK here.” The Great Blue Heron Charity Casino has found itself in the middle of an in- teresting debate: Is it ex- empt from the new bylaw? Apparently, casino officials say they are. Officials with the Durham Region Health De- partment, however, have a different idea. “They (the casino) are of the opinion that they are exempt from the bylaw be- cause of their (Native) sta- tus,” says Alex Connor, a manager of environmental health who is responsible for enforcing the bylaw. “We’re of a different opin- ion. They’re not exempt. So the health department is investigating. “At the end of the day, a court will probably have to decide.” The Great Blue Heron is located on lands owned by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nations. It is owned by the Baagwating Community Association and operated by a partner- ship between the Baagwat- ings, Casinos Austria Inter- national Ltd., Fantasy Gaming Entertainment Inc. and Sonco Gaming Inc. Repeated calls to senior casino officials were not re- turned. Those same casino man- agers haven’t held any dis- cussions with health de- partment officials either, says Mr. Connor. “No one from the casino has contacted me,” he adds. And, as of last week, the health department has yet to f ine the casino. “We don’t just walk in and start laying charges. We do warnings, then follow up. Eventually a decision is made,” says Mr. Connor, noting the health depart- ment received five com- plaints the first day and few more since then. “Someone will have to fol- low up on the warning let- ter we sent out.” Mr. Connor said his in- vestigators have been up to the casino and saw people smoking. As far as he knows, the facility has made no move to build a designated smok- ing room. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 11, 2004 PAGE 27 A/P Durham Family Court Clinic Receives $11,000 Grant From S’port for Kids The Durham Family Court Clinic (DFCC) was presented with a cheque for $11,000 on behalf of the S’port for Kids Foundation.

The Jazz and Art Festi- val is back for a second year June 12 and organiz- ers are ready for a big crowd this time around, after underestimating the appeal of jazz music last year. The festival is part of Ajax Home Week activi- ties. "Last year we anticipat- ed 500 to 600 people and we ended up getting close to 3,000," Eileen McMullen says. "This year we're an- ticipating between 3,000 to 5,000." One of several organiz- ers for the Pickering Vil- lage BIA, she says the event is all about promot- ing the village and getting people in to see what the businesses and the area have to offer. Look for a full slate of music, with six bands play- ing at any time, from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. There are three main stages for bands at different loca- tions, and there will be some unique tastes to enjoy as a variety of food vendors and two beer tents are in place. And artwork plays a big part in the festival with different locations to check out. "It's just going to be hop- ping," McMullen says. "You can wander from one stage to the next with tables and chairs, with umbrellas, to sit and listen." She and her fellow orga- nizers have put a lot of ef- fort into the event and she is really looking forward to seeing a lot of people come out. "It's just a lot of fun," she says. "To see everyone en- joying it is its own reward."The following movies open in local theatres this weekend. The Chronicles of Riddick Directed by David Twohy Starring Vin Diesel, Judi Dench, Colm Feore, Karl Urban, Thandie Newton, Alexa Davalos In the sequel to 'Pitch Black,' anti-hero Riddick, who has spent the last five years on the move on the outskirts of the galaxy, f inds himself on planet Helion, home to a progres- sive society invaded by the Lord Marshal, who targets humans for subjugation with his army of Necromongers. Exiled to a subterranean prison, Rid- dick encounters Kyra, the lone survivor from an ear- lier chapter in his life. His efforts to free himself and Kyra lead him to the Necromonger command ship, where he faces off against the Lord Marshal in a fateful battle. Also opening in theatres are 'The Stepford Wives' and 'Garfield.' DURHAM –A First Na- tions exhibit will open at the Scugog Shores Histor- ical Museum June 19. The new Ojibway sum- mer lodge and camp ex- hibit will be opened by the museum and the Missis- saugas of Scugog Island First Nation. There will be a sunrise ceremony at approximate- ly 5:30 a.m. with official ceremony, exhibits and demonstrations running from 10:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. The exhibit features a traditionally-built Ojibway summer lodge, called a wigwam, and has been de- veloped as part of the Ojibway Heritage Inter- pretive Lands project. The project interprets the nat- ural and cultural history of the Lake Scugog basin be- fore European settlement. The grand opening cere- mony at the crack of dawn will be led by the Elders from Curve Lake First Na- tion and will be followed by an outdoor breakfast. The official wigwam open- ing and ribbon cutting will take place at 10:30 a.m. During the morning, guests will be able to taste wild rice pudding, corn soup, roasted buffalo and bannock cooked outdoors over an open fire. First Na- tions' artifacts and regalia will be on display. Admission is free with donations accepted by the museum. People planning to attend the sunrise cere- mony and breakfast are asked to call the museum at 905-985-3589 to reserve a place. The museum is located at 16210 Island Rd., Port Perry.

You’ll find heart-conscious and vegetarian dishes as well. The newest menu addition is “Low Carb.” If you think might gain a pound or two,go for a workout in the ship’s gym. Myth No. 5:“A week aboard ship would bore me to tears.” Trut h:Yo u’ll visit several ports, with opportunities for sightseeing, shopping or beach visits. Out at sea you’ll find a full program of activities. There are more than 30 daily events listed, including keep- fit classes, bridge lessons, wine-tasting, ice-carving demonstrations, bingo, trivia quizzes and professional enter- tainment.The spa, casino, bars and swimming pools are open for your enjoyment.

Cameron was competing in the 10-year-old boys’ high jump. The world is his race Hatfield visits Pickering to talk about importance of grassroots support to sailing By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — One sailing trip around the world deserves an- other. Canadian sailor extraordi- naire Derek Hatfield will circle the globe again two years from now, facing the best sailors on the planet in the Five Oceans Race. Hatfield was the guest of hon- our at the Frenchman's Bay Ya c ht Club's annual Sail Past and opening day ceremonies at the Breezy Drive club Saturday morning. After a brief address as part of the ceremonies, Hatfield gave a more in-depth account of his treacherous sailing odyssey aboard the 'Spirit of Canada' in the 2002 and 2003 version of the trans-world race, as well as an- nouncing his plans for 2006, which include racing a state-of- the-art Open 60 sailboat. The New Brunswick native, who now lives in Aurora, says it's his competitive spirit, along with the burning desire to represent Canada, that has spurred him to take the helm for another voy- age around the world. The trip covers more than 28,700 nautical miles and begins in September 2006. "The last time there was such an outpouring of support from Canadians and those from around the world that I was in- terested in competing in class 1, the 60-foot class," says Hatfield who, as far as he's aware, will be the lone Canadian in the 2006 race that is expected to attract approximately 20 entries from around the world. "But, this time, we're out to win. We were third in our class (class II, 40- foot sailboat) last time, so I think we can compete well and we can represent Canada very well at this international event." The new 'Spirit of Canada' entry, an Open 60 sailing vessel, will be the first one of its kind built in Canada. The design has been completed, with actual construction beginning in Auro- ra by the end of the summer. "It's very high-tech," says Hat- field. "It's easy to sail, it's more safe, it's faster and now I can concentrate on the performance of the board. I want to bring a top-notch team together to do that." While Hatfield finished third in the 2002-03 edition of the Five Oceans Race, then known as the 'A r ound Alone Single-handed Ya c ht Race', it was anything but smooth sailing. On the ocean 25 miles southeast of Cape Horn on March 7, 2003, he navigated the 'Spirit of Canada' for 24 hours through 60-foot waves amid winds blowing 100 miles per hour. The boat, not to mention Hatfield, barely made it out in- tact. "The boat stood on its nose and then rolled upside down. It took all of six seconds to do this," recalled Hatfield, who was thrown into the icy southern ocean, but was scooped back into the boat as it righted itself. "It was just like a car crash -- I had no time to react as it hap- pened so quickly. My survival skills kicked in at that point. I did what I had to do to survive." Miraculously, Hatfield was able to steer the battered sail- boat to a tiny port in Argentina. The mast and sails as well as all the electronics in the boat were ruined. But, thanks to support from Canadians and others from across the world, he received the funding to do the necessary re- pairs and get back in the race. "The support from Canadians and corporations allowed it to happen. The outpouring of sup- port for the 'Spirit of Canada' was unbelievable," he says. Hatfield received financial support from the Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club in 2002 and will count on the club for support as his plans for the 2006 race go for- ward. "The grassroots program has been very important, going way back to the construction of the 'Spirit of Canada' that took five years. I received the assistance of people across Canada. People ✦ Please see Ready, 34 DURHAM — The Durham Syn- chronized Swimming Club fin- ished third in Canada thanks to Holley Lundmark's Tier 6 Na- tional Synchro Swim team. The eight-women team, con- sisting of Jordan Anderson, So- phie Baetz-Dougan, Nicole Larocque, Katie LePage, Julia Maclean, Brianna MacLellan, Chelsey Matthews and Carrie Mouck, took away eight bronze medals at the 2004 National Syn- chro Swim Championships and top honours in Ontario. More than 480 athletes were on hand to vie for national titles in the compulsory figures, solo, duet and team events. Ontario brought the most athletes to the 2004 National Championships with 13 clubs from across the province and over 180 athletes entered in the competition. Al- though they have been on the podium many times in the past, this is the first time in the DSSC club's 30-year history that this national level team has brought home medals from the nation's most prestigious competition. Leslie Wicken's Tier 7 National Synchro Swim Team was also a winner, finishing seventh. The Tier 7 team consists of Katharine Cornish, Lianne Doerr, Lisa Doerr, Lauren LeP- age, Lindsay MacLean, Alison Rogin and Kate Secor. The Tier 6 duet, comprised of Sophie Baetz-Dougan and Katie Lep- age, coached by Holley Lund- mark, finished eighth place in the nation, and the developing Tier 6 team, coached by Holley Lundmark and Rochelle Fernan- dez, consisting of Samantha Al- bacete, Madelaine Baetz- Dougan, Alanna Beal, Angela Li- cata, Kayla Malcolmson, Allie Mear and Alaina Wade placed 19th in prelims. Chelsey Matthews and Julia Maclean, two of the Tier 6 Solos, finished 12th and 16th, respectively. In the compulsory figures event, DSSC brought home more excel- lent results with Katie Lepage 8th, Chelsey Matthews 9th, So- phie Baetz-Dougan 18th and Julia Maclean 21st out of 204 swimmers. For girls interested in trying synchro swimming, recreational and competitive programs will be starting in September. It's never too early and it's never too late to start in this sport.

Hatfield is looking forward to the 2006 race, as well as sharing his stories on the Internet and through e-mail as he did in 2002- 03. "We had thousands of kids fol- low us and I find myself in a po- sition to help sailing and show- case what Canadians can do," he says. "We have a long track record of international sailing. I find it humbling to give back to (sailing) clubs and to Canada. I like to fly the Canadian flag in- ternationally and it's unbeliev- able for me to do that."

The 12-year-old member of the Pickering Swim Club (PSC) not only set seven new club records while competing at the 2004 Speedo AGI meet in Etobi- coke last weekend, but she also qualified to swim at two high- profile meets later this summer. Heard eclipsed her own club records in the female 11 and 12 age group's 100-metre freestyle, 200m free, 400m free and the 800m free. She also set new marks in the 200m backstroke, 100m butterfly and the 400m in- dividual medley. She posted three first-place efforts, winning the 200m free (2:15.87), 400m free (4:51.50) and the 400m IM (5:26.16). She was also second in the 100m fly. The results qualified her for the Ontario Long Course Se- nior Provincials in the 200m free and the 400m IM. She also qualified to swim in the Eastern Cup meet in the 100m fly, 200m free and the 400m IM. Heard wasn't the only mem- ber to break club records at the meet. Erin Gordon set the new standard in the female 15 and 16 age group's 1,500m free. Adam Gomba set new marks in the male 13-14 100m free and the 400m free. Michael Storto was success- ful in breaking club records in the male 13-14 50m backstroke and 50m fly. Alex Griffith set a new club standard in the male 15-16 50m fly. Heard is among seven other PSC swimmers who'll represent the club at the long course se- nior provincials. The others are: Rebecca Acheson, 13, (female 13-14 100m fly, 200m fly); Gomba, 13, (male 13 -14 200m free); Erin Gordon, 16 , (female 15-16 50m free, 200m free, 400m free, 800m free, 100m breaststroke); Griffith, 15 (male 15 -16 50m free); Renata Jaciw- Zurakowsky, 16, (female 15-16 50m fly, 200m fly); Laura Nicholls, 25, (senior women's 50m free, 100m free, 50m back); and Jessica Ward, 15 (female 15- 16 5 0m breast, 100m breast, 200m breast, 200m IM, 400m IM). A group of seven PSC swim- mers, including Heard, has also met the standard to compete at the Eastern Cup meet in Mon- treal July 28 to 31. Other qualifiers are: Acheson (100m fly); Lisa Barbieri, 15 (fe- male 15-16 50m fly); Gordon (50m free, 100m free, 200m free, 400m free, 800m free, 50m breast, 100m breast); Jackiw- Zurakowsky (50m fly); Nicholls (50m free, 100m free, 50m back) and Ward (400m free, 50m breast, 100m breast, 200m breast, 400m IM). Pickering peewees beat New Yorkers for lone victory in St. Catharines PICKERING —The Pickering Red Sox peewee 'B' rep baseball team managed a lone victory in its first tournament of the sea- son, held in St. Catharines last weekend. The peewees, a new entry for the Pickering Baseball Associa- tion for the 2004 season, posted a 1-3 record, finishing out of playoff contention. Pickering started the tourna- ment with a loss to the Missis- sauga Tigers. No score was re- ported. Charlie Graber was in- jured when he was hit in the eye, but would continue to play the rest of the event with one eye closed. The Red Sox had a strong showing against Georgetown in Game 2. The game, however, ended in another loss, 11-10. Left-handed pitcher Ryan Se- menuk performed well on the mound, backed by solid efforts from Scott Anderson, Chris Marraccini and Ryan Hofmann. The Sox posted their only vic- tory of the tournament in Game 3, a 6-2 win over Cheektowaga, New York. Taylor Kutsukake pitched well, with solid defen- sive help to hold Cheektowaga to two runs. Eric Woods was phenomenal in centre field with three dazzling diving catches. Taylor Rivers made an awesome grab in right field and the Myles Smith-Travis Rutherford com- bination at shortstop and sec- ond base, respectively, were un- believable. Brandon Collcchio used his amazing speed on the bases to help propel the team to victory. Karl Reichel was unavailable for the tournament. The team's next tournament is in Bolton June 25 to 27.
