Madeleine Meilleur, Ontario minister of culture, was at the Pickering library’s central branch Wednesday to an- nounce that the ministry was giving $40,000 to support Ajax- Pickering PLUS (Public Li- braries United with Schools). The government has invested almost $400,000 in 18 projects across the province through the Library Strategic Development Fund. “This program helps libraries A light at the end of the tunnel Region reconsidering smoking ban for long-term care facilities By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – Seniors living in long- term care facilities may soon be able to light up again after region- al council voted to amend the smoking bylaw. “The seniors that live in our long-term care facilities, this is their home,” said Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor at Wednes- day’s meeting, adding that ciga- rettes are a legal substance. “This is all the pleasure (veter- ans) have left.” Under the then 16-day-old bylaw, smoking was banned in all public and workplaces, including senior’s homes. Despite the bylaw being passed in December 2002, Mayor O’Connor at last council - six days before the bylaw came into effect - brought forward a no- tice that she wanted it amended. Brock Coun. Larry O’Connor said there are no safe levels of sec- ond-hand smoke, and that allow- ing some facilities to be exempt would put the Region “in an in- credible situation of contradic- tion.” He was echoed by Ajax Coun. Colleen Jordan, who said that if the bylaw were amended it would be setting a bad example for other members of society. Clarington Councillor Jim Schell said he’s talked to many long-term care facilities in his area. The smoking ban is causing “undue stress and anxiety” on the seniors there because they can’t smoke. Many councillors raised the issue of protecting the rights of workers in the homes who would have to take seniors in and out of designated smoking rooms. Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s Medical Officer of Health, said those workers would still be cov- ered under provincial occupation- al health and safety laws that allow any employee to refuse to work in unsafe conditions. ✦See Libraries page 4 ✦See Smoking page 5 A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 18, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Advocates worried about board program By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – Despite an increase of 29 full-time positions in the draft budget, special education advo- cates are warning there could ac- tually be fewer educational assis- tants in local public schools next year. Seven of the 10 presenters at Monday’s Durham District School Board budget meeting spoke about special education. “I need you to understand that any decision to reduce education- al assistant (EA) support in this budget will undoubtedly mean that some families will feel forced into placing their child in a self- contained classroom, against their preferences,” said Denyse Newton, who represents the Durham Down Syndrome Associ- ation on the board’s special edu- cation advisory committee. Marion Moore, the EA chair- man for the Canadian Union of Public Employees, in an interview, says 100 full-time equivalent, tem- porary positions “are gone” next year. “We made a deal with manage- ment that scares me,” she told trustees. “We agreed not to post the temporary positions that exist right now in the schools be- cause management was con- cerned that the money for special education would be cut, and if these jobs rolled into permanent jobs we’ll be facing layoffs.” Don McLean, the board’s spe- cial education superintendent, says the board and CUPE agreed to maintain 56 casual positions but not post 46 others. That could change, however, “depending on what the financial picture turns out to be,” since the board still ex- pects to receive an additional $2.8 million in funding from the Province. Laurie Beaton, Special Educa- tion Advisory Committee (SEAC) chairman, urged trustees “to do your job and continue to lobby the government to ensure that the $2.8 million that we are owed right now will be here now.” Ms. Beaton and Mr. McLean say they can’t find out if and when the money will be released to the board. “Without this money, you will have to make significant cuts,” she said. Mr. McLean agrees, saying if cuts are required “that will be a decision the trustees ultimately make when they approve the bud- get.” Marlene Avery, president of the Learning Disabilities Association of Durham and a SEAC member, says that, apart from the issue of EAs, she’s asking for “more ac- countability in where the money goes that comes into this board.” As an example, she said she has tried to find out how the Special Education Per Pupil Amount (SEPPA) money from the Province is spent. She was told the general allocation, based on the total number of students in the board, is added to intensive support amount special educa- tion money. The problem, says Ms. Avery, is a large number of learning disabled students are not identified, thus they don’t benefit from (Intensive Support Amount) ISA funding. The board’s budget will only be balanced if it receives the special education funding. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 18, 2004 PAGE 3 P &**@^c\hidcGY:Vhi 6Xgdhh[gdb8dhiXd .%*")'+"+))% NDJG8=D>8:D; 6aaNdj8Vc:ViG^WaZih 6eeaZWZZÉh=djhZH^gad^c 8]^X`Zc;^c\ZghEaViiZg 7jiiZgb^a`H]g^beEaViiZg pickeringtowncentre.com Rick from Shoppers Drug Mart Just redeem your receipts at the Guest Services kiosk to receive your FREE gift wrap.

As part of the PLUS program, library staff visit every Grade 3 and Grade 8 class in Pickering and Ajax; develop a resource- based Web site to serve stu- dents and teachers; and share information with students about the library and how to use it. “Our hope is that because of this project your literacy skills will improve,” library board chairman Hans VanLeeuwen told the Grade 3 students from Vaughan Willard Public School gathered for the announce- ment. “We want you to get excit- ed about reading and know how to use the library.” As part of the partnership, the libraries are also planning programs for children during the summer and after school. “We will try really hard to make sure we have lots of excit- ing books for you to read and music and DVDs,” Mr. Van- Leeuwen said. After making the announce- ment, Ms. Meilleur read the children a story. “Libraries give children tools to learn and grow. They also foster lifelong learning,” she said. “The government of On- tario knows how important it is to have libraries.” Mr. VanLeeuwen said it would be difficult for the library to offer a program such as PLUS without the funding. “You can do certain things but this helps because there are only so many dollars to go around,” he said. Amy Caughlin is the PLUS program co-ordinator. She said the program started at the end of May and she has been busy making contact with the school boards. She is now working on the Web site and wants to start the class visits in September. Ms. Caughlin said the pro- g ram targets Grade 3 students because studies show that is when many children stop read- ing. She added if they can get children interested in libraries and reading at that age, maybe they can keep them coming for- ever.

The bylaw, while banning smok- ing in all public and work places, allows a designated smoking room no larger than 50 per cent of the total space in casinos, racetracks and bingo halls. But the casino has made no moves to construct a DSR, and people are still puffing away, the Region contends. The issue is more about governing than smoking, said Brian Daly, of the Lon- don-based law firm Mc- Carthy Tetrault. “The lands of the First Nation are not within the Region of Durham and are therefore not subject to any bylaws of the Region of Durham,” says Mr. Daly, who offered comment on behalf of Chief Tracy Gau- thier of the Mississaugas. The Region’s lawyer, combined with an outside legal opinion, has said any- thing to do with an occupa- tional health and safety issue - like smoking - is a provincial issue, and there- fore a local issue, said Dr. Robert Kyle, the Region’s medical officer of health, at the council meeting. The Region is not in- volved in any roads or sew- ers on the Island, as that is a federal issue, Dr. Kyle added. - with files from Chris Hall Veterans also fought so that people could not im- pose their views on others, said Pickering Coun. Mark Holland. “We don’t want to cut...people’s lives short by virtue of the profession they choose,” he said. Of the three Region-run homes for the aged, two currently have designated smoking rooms. Coun. Pat Perkins, who also chairs the health and social services committee, said administrators at the facilities are worried resi- dents who smoke will leave for other homes where they can still puff. “It’s not a workplace issue,” she said. “It’s a home.” The Region was recently challenged by a long-term care facility in Oshawa who said the bylaw was a viola- tion of its residents’ rights. It has since been “ad- journed,” pending decisions at the provincial level, said Andy Allison, a lawyer for the Region. During the Liberal throne speech, Premier Dalton McGuinty promised a provincewide smoking ban in three years. Dr. Kyle said legislation is set to be introduced this fall. Mr. Allison said the direc- tion from regional council is to not enforce Durham’s smoking bylaw until the provincial ban has been de- cided. The Tobacco Control Act, which regulates things such as signage and venti- lation in DSRs, will be en- forced instead. The smoking bylaw needs triple majority - or support from five of Durham’s eight municipali- ties amounting to 51 per cent of the Region’s popula- tion, plus a majority of re- gional councillors - before it can pass. In a rare procedural move and suggestion from regional chairman Roger Anderson, council voted to skip the three-week waiting period normally need for a notice of motion, and in- stead had the bylaw amendment drafted yester- day. The move was to avoid a six-week delay when coun- cil recesses for the summer July 12. Local councils will now have time for public debate and to get their comments back to the Re- gion for its last meeting July 7. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 18, 2004 PAGE 5 A/P PETER’S ACADEMY OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING ONLY Learn with the BESTLearn w i t h t h e B E S T $$275275.00.0 0 PLUS GSTMinistry Approved Driver Education Course • 25 Hours in an MTO approved classroom • 15 private in-car lesson on automatic • FREE pick-up at home • Courses start every week • Defensive driving instruction • Learn life saving skills • Skid control • Evasive Maneuvers • braking techniques • FREE progress report card • EARLIER ROAD TEST 1050 BROCK ROAD UNIT # 10 PICKERING, ON L1W 3X4 PICKERING LOCATION HOURS: 7 DAYS A WEEK 10 AM - 10 PMCALL NOW! www.petersacademy.com 4 Day Courses June 27th - 30th July 12th - 15th July 26th - 29th Aug. 23rd - 26th OR (416) 750-0472 (905) 831-6464 MAXIMUM INSURANCE SAVINGS THREE LOCATIONS Gift Certificates Available 777 WARDEN AVENUE SUITE 211 SCARBOROUGH, ON M1L 4C3 SCARBOROUGH LOCATION INSTALLMENT PLAN AVAILABLE 8130 SHEPPARD AVENUE E.

P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 18, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Good start to the term in Pickering But Report Card finds there is room for growth among politicians After years of familiarity, it’s been a new approach to poli- tics in Pickering these past six months. And, if the early returns are a sign of things to come, the News Advertis- er’s annual report card of elected municipal officials finds there’s reason for optimism. Long accustomed to seeing Wayne Arthurs in the mayor’s chair, Pickering residents are adjusting to the new leadership of Mayor Dave Ryan. The longtime former City councillor is off to a solid start in the position, and is already putting a much-needed new stamp on City relations and conduct. His recent hosting of a Chinese delegation to discuss potential partnerships and his business advisory group are perfect examples of the new pro-business mindset that will serve the City well down the road. But, there is also room for growth and as Mayor Ryan be- comes more comfortable in the position, we expect he’ll become more vocal in leading the City on key local and regional issues. At the regional level, the triumvirate of Maurice Brenner, Mark Holland and Rick Johnson continues to offer an effective voice. Coun. Brenner is your consummate politician, delivering the effective, responsive, and common-sense style residents ex- pect in an elected representative. Coun. Holland continues to deliver vision and passion on behalf of his Ward 2 constituents, but has come up short on a couple key accounts. Most notable has been his decision to not take a leave of absence or cut in pay while running for federal office. That has meant, by his own ad- mission, Ward 2 residents aren’t getting the same representa- tion that they normally receive. Coun. Johnson continues to be as active a councillor as they come. He’s passionate and has been a champion of waste diver- sion, helping to deliver solutions to Durham’s long-standing issue of how to direct garbage from landfills. But, even the mildest of criticism seems to set him off and his defence of pay- ing his wife $4,800 from the tax pot in 2003 to answer phones and e-mails at his home is inexcusable. Locally, Bill McLean has grown into a solid council contribu- tor, c hampioning key community issues and offering an effec- tive voice for Ward 2. David Pickles continues to be low-key in his approach, which shortchanges council debate at times, given the knowledge he could offer. Newcomer Kevin Ashe rounds out the seven-member unit, offering a new look at some- times old issues. Durham Chairman Roger Anderson has been a real mix the past six months. Doing his usual strong selling job, he’s been ef- fective advocating regional transit, continued support for the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and the Durham cancer centre, and Hwy. 407. Much of that has been overshad- owed, however, by his vigorous fighting to keep his position from being elected by the public. He seems to have made the issue a personal one. At the Durham District School Board, Trustee Paul Crawford has toned down the rhetoric and attacks of previous years, con- tributing to a more effective board. He still has work to do, how- ever, and must work with the entire board for the good of stu- dents. Newcomer Sherry Croteau is an improvement over the largely absent Jennifer Bridge. But, as a new trustee, she needs to get up to speed and contribute more. Jim McCafferty is as steady as ever at the Durham Catholic District School Board, keeping Pickering schools front and cen- tre. Paul Bannister is the only newcomer to the board table and has been slow off the mark, already missing four of 11 meetings. It’s early, but he has to turn it around quickly. Taken as a group, the first six months of this municipal term have been solid with room for growth. We’ll give them a collec- tive ‘B.’ ✦ For report cards from across Durham Region, see our Web site at durhamregion.com Pickering News Advertiser A Metroland Community Newspaper Tim Whittaker Publisher Joanne Burghardt Editor-in-Chief Tony Doyle Managing Editor Duncan Fletcher Director of Advertising Eddie Kolodziejcak Classified Advertising Abe Fakhourie Distribution Manager Lillian Hook Office Manager Cheryl Haines Janice O’Neil Composing Managers News/Sales 905-683-5110 Classifieds 905-683-0707 Distribution 905-683-5117 News Fax 905-683-0386 General Fax 905-683-7363 Death Notices 905-683-3005 E-mail tdoyle@ durhamregion.com Web address durhamregion.com Mailing Address 13 0 Commercial Ave., Ajax, Ont.

Editorials &Opinions FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Editorial Party numbers are appallingly low As I sat watching the English lan- guage debate this week I couldn’t help but notice the lack of a fe- male presence. Every leader campaigning to become Canada’s next prime minister is a man, including the leader of the Green Party, although he wasn’t invited to partici- pate in the federal election debate. Even the journalists asking the ques- tions were all men, although the pro- ducers of the debate did try to infuse some estrogen by having a woman mod- erator. This isn’t just a phenomenon among the leaders, there is a lack of female candidates running all across the coun- try. Both the debate for the Pickering- Scarborough East and Ajax-Pickering ridings included a contingent of all male candidates (Karen McDonald is run- ning for the Green Party in Ajax-Picker- ing but she was unable to attend). Equal Voice, a multi-partisan group advocating for more women in politics, wrote a letter (signed by former promi- nent female politicians) to all the major party leaders to express its disappoint- ment with their failure to attract more female candidates. There are only 225 women nominated to run for the four major federal parties. The NDP is running the highest num- ber of females, with women making up 31 per cent of its candidates; the Liber- als are at 25 per cent; the Bloc Québé- cois 25 per cent; and the Conservatives a mere 11 per cent. Overall, they make up 23 per cent of candidates, which is higher than the last election when only 21 per cent were women. It was just 10 years ago that I was a high school student learning about how hard women fought to win the right to vote and to run for office. Now, as a re- porter covering politics, I can’t help but think that the progress of women in pol- itics has reached a glass ceiling. I understand women need to want to get involved, but at the same time polit- ical parties need to make every effort possible to make sure women who want to serve their country are given a chance. Leaders need to make women feel welcome. You can’t have a true democracy un- less everyone’s voice is at the table. And at the debates I’ve witnessed over the past few weeks, an important voice has been missing. Danielle Milley’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail dmilley@durhamregion.com.

The first incident oc- curred around 9 a.m. Wednesday at police head- quarters in Oshawa, when the man, taken into cus- tody the previous day, re- portedly punched and slapped a special constable - apparently in an attempt to intimidate him, said po- lice spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik. Later in the day, the man was taken to another part of the station to make a video appearance in bail court. He was unco-opera- tive, Sgt. Malik said. “When asked his name, he would not respond. When asked again, he laughed,” Sgt. Malik said. “The justice of the peace ended the hearing.” When that happened, the prisoner reached out and punched the camera trained on him. And police allege that, as he was led away, the man started a punch-up with an officer es- corting him. That officer wound up in hospital for treatment of minor injuries, Sgt. Malik said. Charged with two counts of assaulting police is 25- year-old Nicholas Coombs of Pickering. The previous day, he was arrested for assault with a weapon after a 16-year-old high school student was at- tacked in Pickering, police said. A confrontation ap- parently began after a man approached two teens and demanded cigarettes. When they refused, the man became aggressive and they chased him off with a pipe, police said. Later, a suspect ap- proached the teen at Dun- barton High school and beat him with his fists, then drew a knife, police said. The suspect fled the school grounds but was picked up by police a short distance away, Sgt. Malik said.

Dave Ryan Mayor This year: B Last year: B+ (As Ward 1 City Councillor) Attendance:10/10 council, 10/10 commit- tee. Region: 9/9 council, 7/8 committee. Expenses: $1,113 (from when he was a councillor), region $270. Committees: Ex-officio member of all City committees, GTAA Pickering Adviso- ry Committee, Ajax Pickering Transit Au- thority (APTA), audit committee, Toronto Region Conservation authority, chairman TRCA watershed management advisory board and TRCA executive committee; and member of regional planning commit- tee, Durham Region Local Housing Corpo- ration. Most important issues facing the City: “The most important issues for the City of Pickering continue to be growth and finan- cial management. We need to move for- ward with a growth management strategy that protects environmentally sensitive lands and optimizes the use of developable lands. The City of Pickering is experiencing a pent-up demand for recreational and cul- tural facilities that cannot be accomplished on the current tax structure. Emphasis must be given to employment lands that will help us rebalance the ratio of residen- tial to the industrial/commercial tax base. In addition, we have an urgent need for new and expanded infrastructure that is depen- dent on inter-governmental partnerships, such as a fire hall in north Pickering, the widening of Hwy. 401, extension of Hwy. 407 and creation of a regional transit system.” News Advertiser’s comments: Mayor Ryan was a low-key, behind-the-scenes councillor who is now trying to come into his own as mayor. He is continuing to make strides in his new role as mayor and we ex- pect to see continued growth in the future as he becomes more comfortable as Pick- ering’s leader. Mayor Ryan needs to be more vocal in council and committee meet- ings, and on issues of importance to the City, which is where he drops in his mark over the last year. He continues to declare the least amount of expenses of his peers. Regionally, he is the quietist of Durham’s eight mayors, rarely speaking unless spo- ken to. This could be because his outspo- ken councillors usually beat him to it. When he does speak, however, he is a strong advocate of Pickering, especially when it comes to land use and planning. Ke vin Ashe Ward 1 City councillor This year: B- Last year: N/A Attendance: 10/10 council, 10/10 commit- tee. Expenses: $437. Committees: Police liaison, audit com- mittee, waterfront co-ordinating commit- tee, Pickering Public Library board, site plan. Most important issues facing the City: “1) We need to work co-operatively with other levels of government. 2) Work to at- tract new business to Pickering, thus re- ducing the tax burden of homeowners. 3) Protect the agricultural preserve from de- velopment. 4) Continue to give Ward 1 res- idents representation that is accountable, approachable and available.” News Advertiser’s comments: Coun. Ashe is the only new face at the council table this year and it is evident he is still learning and getting comfortable with his new role. When he does speak about an issue he is knowledgeable and is not afraid to voice a view different from those of his more experienced colleagues. As his term goes on, we expect to see him take a more active role in issues. Bill McLean Ward 2 City councillor This year: B+ Last year: B Attendance:10/10 council, 10/10 commit- tee. Expenses: $6,971. Committees: Audit, civic awards selec- tion, police liaison, museum village adviso- ry, PAW animal services, Pickering Public Library board, site plan committee, Veridi- an Corporation, Pickering Museum Village foundation, finance and operations com- mittee, and Road Watch committee. Most important issues facing the City: “1) The continuation and completion of the boardwalk and the Waterfront Trail. 2) Temporary sidewalks on Sandy Beach Road, which will allow the residents, who use wheelchairs and other assistive mobili- ty devices, to walk to Bayly Street. 3) Prior- itizing the urbanization of Sandy Beach Road and extending sidewalks down Sandy Beach Road. 4) Improving road and traffic conditions on Sandy Beach Road. 5) Crime and vandalism. 6) Promoting and building on our commercial and industrial base. 7) Future growth in ensuring the pro- tection of environmentally sensitive lands and heritage buildings. 8) Harmonizing by- laws to be consistent Region wide for easi- er policing and enforcement.” News Advertiser’s comments: Coun. McLean gets involved in specific issues of concern to him and his constituents. Act- ing on complaints from a number of resi- dents, Coun. McLean worked hard and took the lead on a new bylaw regulating pet stores in the municipality. His efforts advo- cating on behalf of the Pickering Museum Village were also successful, with the City matching funds raised by the museum foundation to renovate the Brougham Cen- tral Hotel. He works well with his col- leagues and on his own. Dave Pickles Ward 3 City councillor This year: B Last year: B+ Attendance: 10/10 council, 10/10 commit- tee. Expenses: $13,430. Committees: Budget, accessibility advi- sory, race relations and equity, Duffins Creek Watershed Task Force, Carruthers Creek Watershed Task Force, site plan, Ajax-Pickering Transit Board, Ajax-Pick- ering police liaison, Road Watch, Veridian Corporation, growth management study advisory committee, community communi- cations working group for the GTAA Most important issues facing the City: “I will continue to work to keep our property tax rates fair (they are still the lowest of Durham’s urban municipalities) while con- tinuing to provide excellent services to res- idents and continual improvements in our community. Seeking new business and jobs in Pickering is a priority. Pickering is richer for its diversity when it is inclusive of all our residents. The coming year will see impor- tant decisions on a possible airport that I feel is not necessary for some time yet, and planning for the growth of Pickering to our north, wherein I support protecting our en- vironment and smart planning to enhance our community.” News Advertiser’s comments: The effort Coun. Pickles puts into his job and his con- stituents is evident, but he loses part of a grade due to his quiet approach on issues of importance. He spends a lot of time preparing for meetings and researching is- sues, whether it’s the Ajax hospital or the 2004 budget. He has taken on the impor- tant role of chairman of the Pickering race relations and advisory committee this year, which he is working hard at. We would like to see Coun. Pickles be more outspoken at times and take the initiative when it comes to issues that he obviously cares about. Maurice Brenner Ward 1 regional councillor This year: A- Last year: A- Attendance:9/10 local council, 10/10 local committee. Region: 8/9 council, 10/10 com- mittee. Expenses: municipal $8,491, region $2,922.50. Committees: City of Pickering: audit committee, co-chairman of Ajax Pickering Transit Authority, Canadian Urban Tran- sit Association, Trans-Canada Trail Task Fo r ce, PACT, Pickering waterfront com- mittee; is Region of Durham children’s ad- vocate; and is member of regional health and social services committee, president Durham Region municipal non-profit housing corporation, Durham Regional transit implementation committee, and CLOCA. Most important issues facing the City: “There is an increasing need to expand or- ganic waste collection in order to achieve 60-per cent-plus diversion. The Amberlea project will be expanded, a City-wide edu- cation program should be commenced in 2005 on organic collection, and the pro- gram implemented City-wide in 12 to 18 months. Pickering needs to find innovative ways to generate revenue, such as the con- tinued revitalization and intensification of the downtown core through the redevelop- ment of the Pickering GO Station and the building of a pedestrian bridge over Hwy. 401. Decisions on where growth can go and how to incorporate new ideas for building ‘total communities’ must be made to re- main both vibrant and economically suffi- cient. The growth management study will provide for the first time a detailed road map on options for growth and an oppor- tunity for creating ‘green communities’.” News Advertiser’s comments: Coun. Brenner continues to work hard for his constituents and all residents of the City. He is involved and informed, bringing for- ward motions and voicing an opinion on most issues. Coun. Brenner continues to push for a pedestrian bridge over Hwy. 401, linking the GO Station with the Pickering Town Centre to help revitalize the City’s core and has made efforts to ensure the First Nations are consulted about the City’s growth management study. Region- ally, Coun. Brenner is a strong, knowledge- able member of health and social services committee and council. He is a great advo- cate for regional transit, and brings many ideas to the table along with examples from Pickering. Mark Holland Ward 2 regional councillor This year: B+ Last year: A- Attendance: 9/10 local council, 10/10 local committee. Region 7/9 council, 8/13 com- mittee Expenses: municipal $19,468, region $829.62. Committees: Chairman of Pickering wa- terfront co-ordinating committee, chair- man Pickering Winterfest, Durham Region ✦See Pickering page 10 Grades Achievement of Expectations A- to A+Excellent, best among peers B- to B+Solid Performance, moves fair share of motions C- to C+Fa ir, only average in most categories D- to D+Weak, not up to the task, not effective, not accessible F Awful, shouldn’t be there In what has become a yearly tradition, the News Advertiser offers its opinion on the performance of our municipally elected officials and of the Durham Regional chairman. Our assessment is based not only on their performance at public meetings and functions, but on the feedback we receive from the public during the course of reporting on local issues. Metroland Durham Reg i o n M e d i a G r o u p - Pickering News Advert i s e r R eport Card 2004 CITY OF PICKERING P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 18, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Police services board, Veridian board of di- rectors, Durham Region finance and ad- ministration committee, Durham West Arts Centre, Canadian Association of Nu- clear Host Communities, Durham Region Youth Initiative and acting mayor. Most important issues facing the City: “Increase waste diversion to greater than 50 per cent in the next two years; intercon- nect Durham Region’s waterfronts; get a real new deal for cities with a portion of the existing federal and provincial gas tax for roads and infrastructure; and protect and rejuvenate Frenchman’s Bay and associat- ed watersheds. Implement a public alert- ing system that integrates well with our community and does not create a larger problem than it solves. Protect areas of en- vironmental sensitivity in Seaton and move forward with the federal government to create a greenspace strategy that vastly expands the federal lands designated for protection. We must keep taxes competi- tive - we continue to enjoy the lowest tax rates in Durham Region - and diversify that tax base with a jobs-first strategy.” News Advertiser’s comments: Coun. Holland is an accessible, responsive and hard-working councillor. He is outspoken and often takes the lead on issues. He is de- voted to the areas of importance to him, such as the Pickering waterfront. This term he has taken on the new responsibilities of acting mayor and member of the police services board. He loses part of a grade on two counts: First, we would like to see Coun. Holland reduce his expenses to a more reasonable level, in particular, he should stop hiring help to carry out what are arguably a councillor’s duties. In addi- tion, his decision to stay on as a councillor, and accept full pay, while running for a seat in the federal election means he’s cutting back on the time he devotes to his con- stituents. At the regional level Coun. Hol- land offers intelligent, well-thought-out opinions on many issues. He is currently trying to bring mandatory recycling to Durham. He is a strong supporter of ac- countability, taking issue with council try- ing to skirt a vote on directly electing the regional chairman and with adding almost $2 million to the cost of the regional head- quarters. Rick Johnson Ward 3 regional councillor This year: B Last year: B Attendance:9/10 local council, 9/10 local committee. Region: 8/9 council, 7/8 commit- tee Expenses: municipal $19,484, region $6,001.80. Committees: Region public works com- mittee, Rouge Park Alliance, Ontario Traf- fic Conference, president of Herizon House. Most important issues facing the City: “This year the focus has to be on sustain- able growth, with all the pressure to devel- op the agricultural preserve around Cher- rywood, expansion in the Greenwood ham- let and the potential of Seaton. We must find a mix of development that suits the lifestyle we have come to know and love in Pickering. We must be sure that the infra- structure is in place to provide safe drink- ing water, proper police protection, fire protection and emergency services, while we try to attract more industrial and com- mercial development along Hwy. 407 and Brock Road. We must ensure the quality of life is unchanged and that the delivery of services such as parks and recreation, both socially and community-based, does not put additional pressure on the already overburdened taxpayer here in Pickering.” News Advertiser’s comments: Coun. Johnson knows his constituency and the issues well. During his 16 years on council he has advocated organic waste collection throughout the City - something that is one step closer to fruition now that the re- sponsibility for Pickering’s waste collection has been transferred to the Region. He continues to push for improvements to the City’s roads, especially those in the north. We would like to see him cut back on his ex- penses, in particular, eliminate the $4,800 he paid his wife in 2003 for outside office as- sistance. As a regional councillor, he is a strong voice on the works committee, working hard to bring Pickering waste re- sponsibility to the regional level. He’s al- ways looking at innovations for waste, and has organized tours of plants for fellow councillors. But, Coun. Johnson often butts heads with works chairman Marcel Brunelle, after the Whitby mayor took over the top role from him. Coun. Johnson often reminisces about the good ol’ days of the Region, and can be confrontational to oth- ers about his many years on council. Roger Anderson Durham chairman This year: A- Last year: A Attendance: 9/9 regional council, 32/39 reg ional committees Expenses: $28,614.26. Committees: GO Transit Board, vice president of the Association of Municipali- ties of Ontario, member of the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation board, GTA mayors and chairs committee, re- gional chairs and single-tier mayors com- mittee, Durham Region Police Services board, Junior Achievement of Durham Re- gion, plus regional finance and administra- tion, health and social services, planning and works committees. Most important issues facing the Re- gion: Mr. Anderson lists the following as is- sues facing the Region in 2004: securing an environmental assessment for a third GO Transit rail to enable more service to Durham, participating in discussions of a new deal for municipalities, implementing the Durham Community Strategic Plan and its first report card, completing the business case for a regionwide transit sys- tem, begin implementing the transporta- tion master plan along with a major re- gional roads rehabilitation program, con- tinuing to press for action on Hwy. 407 and positioning Durham for energy sector in- vestments (green and traditional). News Advertiser’s comments: On top of running an efficient council, Mr. Anderson really shines in committee meetings, where he asks the right questions to get to the bottom of issues. At times, this can back- fire when he hasn’t done enough research, but at the very least it gets the room talk- ing and often gets action started. A true politician, he is well versed on everything affecting Durham, from Hwy. 407 to the Province’s Greenbelt Protection Act. Mr. Anderson works hard to get Durham’s voice heard by other levels of government - often over the din of other municipalities - and should be commended for helping to keep the Region calm and co-ordinated during the blackout last year. His role as chair of a GTA task force on Ontario Mu- nicipal Board reform looks like it is about to pay off, given recent announcements to that effect by the Province. But, some of Mr. Anderson’s achievements have been overshadowed by a substantial pay in- crease and the quest of some councillors to have his spot directly elected by the people. And, his actions during a recent council meeting - including turning off a mayor’s microphone and refusing to admit to the public outcry over the direct election issue - suggest personal feelings may be entering the debate. That’s why his grade has dropped this year. Durham District School Board - Pickering Trustees • Attendance is from Dec. 1, 2003 through May 2004, when five standing committee and eight board meetings were held. • Mileage, conference, telephone and other (e.g. parking) expenses are from the 2003 calendar year. Paul Crawford This year: C- Last year: F Attendance: 3/5 standing committee and 7/8 board meetings. Expenses: $585.56. Committees: A member of the board ex- pulsion appeal committee. Most important issues facing the board: None offered. News Advertiser comments: Trustee Crawford has done a better job than in pre- vious years because he hasn’t wasted time on non-issues and has worked better with his colleagues. He emphasized the impor- tance of school capital maintenance pro- jects in the coming year’s budget. Trustee Crawford sometimes reminds staff that trustees are the board and in effect are in charge of the system, as when staff out- lined the strategic plan review process. Trustee Crawford said trustees could set up their own review and “pick (the plan) apart if we want.” Sherry Croteau This year: B- Last year: N/A Attendance: 5/5 standing committee and 8/8 board meetings. Expenses: N/A Committees: A member of the board ethnocultural, joint services and expulsion appeal committees; and employee rela- tions liaison trustee. Most important issues facing the board: “I have been strongly advocating for Pick- ering on the following key issues: school maintenance (including renovations at Frenchman’s Bay, and custodial twinning at William Dunbar, Vaughan Willard, Rose- bank and Fairport Beach); the new busing policy; and school assignments for Grade 9 students. Other issues include declining enrolments in Pickering and the threat of school closures throughout Durham.” News Advertiser comments: Trustee Croteau asks some good questions at the board table. When Ontario Public School Boards’ Association representatives came to Whitby, she reassured them that trustees had not invited them to an am- bush. After the meeting, said trustees’ questioning of the board’s $94,000 OPSBA membership showed they were taking the budget process seriously, reviewing every expenditure. Trustee Croteau’s visits to schools have paid off: she spoke knowl- edgeably of the accommodation needs at Frenchman’s Bay Public School. ✦ For complete Report Cards on public board trustees from other Durham municipalities see our Web site at durhamregion.com Kathleen Hopper Oshawa This year: A Last year: A Susan Shetler Oshawa This year: C- Last year: F Michael Barrett Oshawa This year: B Last year: N/A John Dolstra Whitby This year: C- Last year: N/A Elizabeth Roy Whitby This year: A Last year: A Marilyn Crawford Ajax This year: B Last year: B Lisa Hill Ajax This year: B- Last year: N/A Steve Martin Scugog This year: B- Last year: N/A Gordon Baxter Uxbridge-Brock This year: B- Last year: N/A Durham Catholic District School Board - Pickering Trustees • Attendance is from Dec. 1, 2003 through May 2004, when 11 board meetings were held. • Mileage, conference, telephone and other (e.g. parking) expenses are from the 2003 calendar year. Jim McCafferty This year: B+ Last year: B+ Attendance: Attended 11/11 board meet- ings. Expenses: $1,020. Committees: A member of the suspen- sion appeal, joint services, shared trans- portation, special-education advisory, OECTA elementary and secondary teacher negotiating; and OCSTA youth awards committees. Most important issues facing the board: “Elementary schools - increasing enrol- ment and smaller class sizes (as per new budget). Needed: New schools and/or portables, and more teacher candidates. Secondary schools - elimination of the fifth year has not significantly reduced enrol- ment. Numbers are increasing (e.g. 12 portables still at St. Mary). Also, more than 450 Pickering students are bused to Ajax. Needed: New high school in Pickering to bring our students home. Inflation and Pickering political Report Card 2004 ✦ Pickering from page 9 ✦See Report page 11 www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 18, 2004 PAGE 11 P operating benchmarks not ad- dressed - cost of utilities is escalating and existing funding doesn’t cover actual costs. Special education - ade- quate funding is necessary to meet our students’ needs. Transportation - funding has not been adequate to cover actual expenditures. Shared busing - savings can be directed to the classroom.” News Advertiser’s comments: Trustee McCafferty is a consistent advocate for Pickering schools and has long called for a second Catholic high school in the town. Like other board members, he doesn’t do a lot of talking during meetings, but speaks up when something doesn’t sit well with him. Recently expressed concern that the rush to finalize this year’s budget won’t give the special- education advisory committee enough time to meet and discuss it. Paul Bannister This year: C- Last year: N/A Attendance:7/11 board meetings. Expenses: N/A Committees: A member of the pol- icy, suspension appeal, joint services, OECTA elementary and secondary teacher negotiating committees. Most important issues facing the board: None offered. News Advertiser’s comments: Like many new trustees, Trustee Bannis- ter is still learning the ropes. He com- mendably stepped up to the plate when no one signed up to run for the job in the October municipal elec- tion, saying he’s always interested in a challenge. Replacing former board member Fran Pereira, an exemplary trustee, is indeed a tough assign- ment. The only new board member is also its most truant, missing four of the first 11 meetings of the term. ✦ For complete Report Cards on Catholic board trustees from other Durham municipalities see our Web site at: durhamregion.com Joe Corey Oshawa This year: B+ Last year: B+ Fred Jones Oshawa This year: B Last year: B+ Mary Ann Martin Whitby This year: A Last year: A Scott Murdock Whitby This year: B- Last year: C+ Janice Oldman Ajax This year: B- Last year: C+ Kathy LeFort Uxbridge-Scugog-Brock This year: B Last year: C+ ✦ Report from page 10 save 70% Air Canada, Canadian and Embassy luggage save 55% Charter Collection gold jewellery save 55% velour jacquard beach towels save an extra 50% already-reduced women’s fashions Off last ticketed prices. save 40% • men’s Prodige underwear • men’s Nike athletic fashions save 40% Catriona Le May Doan sports bras save 40% all men’s sandals by ToGo™, Rockport, Clarks and Nunn Bush don’t miss these Saturday-only specials!May not be combined with any other offer.

By Chris Hall Staff Writer DURHAM –The two former Blackstock residents who plead- ed guilty earlier this year to caging and beating their two adopted sons apologized to the boys in an Oshawa courtroom Wednesday prior to hearing a Crown sentencing recommenda- tion which calls for both to spend time in a federal peniten- tiary. As the June 16 sentencing hearing began, Alex Sosna, the defence attorney for Ms. Smith, sought Justice Donald Ha- likowski’s permission to read two handwritten letters from his client, addressed to 18-year-old Dale and his younger brother, Adam, 17, who live in separate foster homes. “This is the hardest, saddest letter I’ve ever had to write,” Ms. Smith began in her letter to Adam. “We’re so very sorry for the terrible things you had to go through, we didn’t mean them. We tried as hard as we could... but it wasn’t your fault. I’m sorry we put you in a crib, we had no right to do that. It was criminal and you didn’t deserve what you got. “You have to understand that I do love you.” Ms. Smith then offered some encouraging words to the 17- year-old. “Please don’t be afraid of us, (Adam). Please don’t be afraid,” she wrote. “Go forward (Adam), you have a whole positive pic- ture in front of you. Listen care- fully to all the doctors... only they can undo the damage I caused you.” In the Smiths’ letter to Dale, Ms. Smith began by stressing “We owe you an apology from the heart. We’re so sorry... you didn’t deserve any of it. “It’s all my fault and I hate myself... I’m so sorry (Dale), I’m so sorry (Dale). If I could take it all back I would in a heartbeat. You are children and I deserve criminal charges,” wrote Ms. Smith. “Work hard to undo the trouble and damage I’ve caused you both. I wish you would get better, you deserve it very much... No matter what (Mr. Smith) and I did, we still love you very much.” Both letters were written by Ms. Smith on behalf of her hus- band as well. As Wednesday’s session con- tinued, court heard from Soula Olver, the assistant Crown at- torney working the case, that the public would be best served if Ms. Smith was sentenced to between six and eight years in prison, with Mr. Smith serving anywhere between three and five years. Mr. Sosna suggested to Judge Halikowski his client should re- ceive a 12- to 15-month condi- tional sentence and Michael Block, representing Mr. Smith, recommended his client receive a six-month conditional sen- tence. Judge Halikowski will render his decision July 5. Ms. Olver later noted “peni- tentiary time is required for both... what (Dale and Adam) were forced to endure was a tragedy, they denied each of those two boys a childhood... a life that has left them perma- nently scarred, traumatized and in need of assistance for the rest of their lives.

Puron offers high efficiency and long term cost savings to homeowners. It is truly revolutionary in every sense of the word, and its creation is essential to the future of the heating and cooling industry. In 1987, scientists and government officials convened in Montreal in response to the growing pressure to pre- serve the earth’s ozone layer. What emerged was the Montreal Protocol - an internationally-binding action plan to eliminate ozone-harming chemicals. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) such as R-12 were targeted first since they caused the most damage to the environment. A cap was placed on the production of CFC’s and in 1996, by law, all manufac- turing was required to cease. Today, the Montreal Protocol’s current phase out targets are hydrochlorofluoro- carbons (HCFCs), including R-22, the primary refrigerant in residential heating and air conditioning projects. The 1990 Clean Air Act. In conjunction with the Montreal Protocol, established January 1, 2010 as the date when the U.S. will ban the manufacturing of products using HCFCs. In addition, a production cap on HCFCs (on a country by country con- sumption formula) was established for January 1, 1996. This production cap is intended to reduce the amount of HCFCs that will be consumed in developed coun- tries like the U.S., Canada, the European Union and Japan.

Ships that sail to the Bahamas and Caribbean have qualified counsellors that run child- friendly programs. Some of the programs that your children can get involved in are: supervised games, treasure hunts, pizza making, arts and crafts, talent shows, sport competitions and board games. It’s best to check with your travel agent for a schedule of child-friendly programs a cruise may have to offer. And for a pleasant surprise, don’t forget to check cruise rates for chil- dren. Myth No. 7:“I’ll be forever digging into my pocket for tips.” Tr uth:Cruise ships pride themselves on offering first-rate service, something that passengers may acknowledge with a gratuity. Generally $10 US, per passenger. per day covers dining locations and cabin service. Most bars add a 15 per cent serv- ice charge. Cash tips are presented on the last night of the cruise, but many ships offer prepaid tipping, with the amount charged to the passenger’s credit card. However, tips are a matter of individual preference and suggested amounts are only guidelines. Myth No. 8:“I’ll get seasick.” Tr uth:Cruise ships tend to ply placid waters. A 90,000 ton ship sailing the Caribbean is not a prime candidate for a rough ride. If bad weather lies ahead, the ship may alter course to avoid its worst effects. Still unsure? Before leaving home, visit your drugstore and ask the pharma- cist to recommend a dependable travel- sickness remedy. On board, the ship’s doc- tor can provide an effective injection. Myth No. 9:“Take one cruise and you’ve taken them all.” Tr uth:Never! Cruise ships run from 100 tons to 150,000 tons. Passenger totals vary from 30 to 3,000. One cruise lasts three days, another three months, and there’s everything in between. Some cruis- es take you to culturally stimulating ports, others to the best beach on the island. Some ships sail close to home waters, oth- ers to the Antarctic, Mediterranean, Baltic or South Seas. Tr uth:Surveys consistently indicate substantial savings for cruises when com- pared with resort holidays. More impor- tant, the satisfaction rate for cruises is noticeably higher. A real Truth would be to deal with a cruise specialist, such as CruiseShipCenters. We’ll make sure we put you on the right cruise at the right price.

Karen MacDonald, of the Green Party, would rather see the Oshawa airport improved before a new facility is built here, while NDP candidate Kevin Modeste says a lot more study is needed before he could support or give the thumbs down to the plan. The federal election is June 28. “I’m wondering if we really need it,” says Mr. Modeste. “We’d have to look at the stud- ies. “We’d have to ensure a full environmental study and needs assessment was per- formed.” Meanwhile, Conservative Party candidate Rene Soetens says he would be behind a re- liever airport for Pickering, but only if a business case shows it’s needed. “I certainly support the con- cept of an airport, but not until they can prove it,” he says. As for an international air- port, Mr. Soetens states, “I don’t believe there’s a need. Tor onto isn’t a two-airport city.” He envisions a reliever air- port for Pearson airport. With Oshawa, Buttonville and the To ronto Island airports possi- bly closing, “there’s certainly a need for an airport some- where. “If they can do it without costing the taxpayers any money, it’s a decision that needs to be made.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 18, 2004 PAGE 25 P O ur store is literally filled with hundreds of clearance floor models and discontinued items.

AJAX-PICKERING RIDING VOTES RENE SOETENS Conservative KAREN MacDONALD Green Party MARK HOLLAND Liberal KEVIN MODESTE NDP Business case a must to make airport plan fly ✦See Candidates page 26 By David Stell News Editor DURHAM –Not one candi- date in the Ajax-Pickering Riding would dare down- play the importance of health care to area resi- dents, with each offering a plan to improve the system. “It’s the Number 1 federal issue for residents in this area,” says Liberal Mark Holland. “We need a full- service hospital.” Speaking directly to local needs, Mr. Holland talks about what he sees as “a dangerous notion,” the “concept of complementary services” between the Scar- borough and Ajax sites of the Rouge Valley Health System. “Originally it was to be two hospitals with adminis- trative sharing,” he says. “Now we’re moving to one service area.” Mr. Holland says in a community of 170,000 peo- ple, he doesn’t think it’s ac- ceptable that a family can’t have twins at the Ajax and Pickering hospital. The Conservatives will concentrate on returning health-care funding to the provinces, says Rene Soetens. As well, they will put the focus on health- care providers and make it possible for foreign-trained doctors to practise their skills in Canada. “There aren’t enough doctors and nurses to go around... Who are the peo- ple that are going to deliver the services?” Soetens asks. “We’re committed to two fronts on that, first to deal with universities, to make sure they have the funding... so that can hap- pen. “We also have the ability to work with the registered professional associations across Canada to deter- mine where and how people might become doctors.” He says there are people emigrating to Canada with professional skills, but local associations do not recog- nize them. “(We) need to work with them to see how to allow them to practise easier,” he says. “That’s not to say we want to lower the stan- dards.” The NDP’s Kevin Mod- este puts health care at the top of his party’s priorities, beside education and the environment. The Picker- ing man says federally, the NDP would get more in- volved in funding provincial health care. “Health care is sorely un- derfunded,” he says. Locally, he has concerns about the Ajax and Picker- ing hospital and the issue of services shared between Ajax and Scarborough. “It doesn’t make sense to move any services from this hospital,” he says. “To put a vast number of services out of the way (for local resi- dents) doesn’t make sense.” The idea of private health care bothers Mr. Modeste greatly. In his opinion, any- one investing in a venture, even a hospital, would want a return on the investment. He says there would be a question about availability in that case. “Health care has to be af- fordable and accessible,” he adds. Karen MacDonald out- lines the Green Party’s take on the health-care issue as ‘prevention first’. “Prevention is the key to sustainable health care,” she says. “Our health-care system is breaking down, not because we are spend- ing too little, but because our lack of foresight is cost- ing too much.” Canada’s current eco- nomic, environmental and social policies, she says, are creating illnesses faster than our health-care sys- tem can treat them. “The Green Party will re- duce future health-care costs by reducing future ill- ness.” The election is Monday, June 28.

I sup- port a regional airport,” he says. The remaining land that was expropriated for the airport would be used to “create a vast urban park.” If an international air- port had been necessary, “it would have been built long ago. There’s no business case made for an interna- tional airport,” he adds. There’s capacity at Pear- son International to 2017 and “that was before 9/11 and the decline” in air trav- el. A “more realistic” time frame for another interna- tional airport would be 2030 or 2040, he adds. “A regional airport is more realistic. Durham needs a regional-sized air- port. It’s an appropriate site for it. There’s plenty of room and we can create a park,” Mr. Holland notes. A regional airport is “something smaller in scope,” adding he hasn’t heard “any objections from anyone I’ve talked to.” Mr. Holland states it would be “pretty tough” to “say no to a regional airport at this end of Toronto” after Buttonville and Oshawa close. “Something appro- priate would be Oshawa and Buttonville put togeth- er.” Ms. MacDonald says, “I don’t see a need for one up there. My feeling is why couldn’t we rejuvenate the Oshawa airport and make it bigger? Is it really neces- sary to put an airport in north Pickering?” Instead of starting from scratch, she prefers an ex- isting site be refurbished. “My first question is why not make an existing one better and bigger. Make the existing better rather than building new,” Ms. Mac- Donald states. Mr. Modeste says an urban park is the best use of the land if an airport is not built there. “Or the establishment of greenspace,” he says. “A greenbelt around the city, and maintaining that land, is a good thing.” Candidates don’t believe international airport needed ✦ Candidates from page 25 AJAX-PICKERING RIDING VOTES www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 18, 2004 PAGE 27 A/P A/P PAGE 28 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 18, 2004 www.durhamregion.com SM www.rheo.com 1-877-AMD-EYES The First Treatment for Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Rheopheresis® Age-Related Macular Degeneration is the leading cause of blindness of people over 65 in Canada.

The Pickering native, only a few years out of college, is up against some top talent in Canadian music video production as a nominee in the Much Music Video Awards 2004. Nominated for Best Post Produc- tion, Cayford is listed as editor and director of the animated video he made for Universal Soul's 'Way Back in the Day.' "They contacted me, (because) I'd met one of them," he said. "I tried to convince them, as much as I could, to do animation." Even still, it wasn't a done deal until he'd sent the band some sam- ples of his work and began work on his concept of the video. Over the course of several weeks he began making a video for them and they liked it at every stage, he says. Cayford finds out Sunday if judges at the video music station deem his work above the rest. But, he already knows he belongs, by virtue of the effort he's put in. He spent up to 18 hours a day over the course of six months to create the video. Universal Soul, whose band mem- bers come from the East Coast, wrote the song about growing up there. Cayford worked Halifax land- marks into a story he crafted, based on the song, about growing up in 19 82 with Atari, rollerskating and Michael Jackson music. "It's a throwback or a flashback to what life was like for those guys back then," he said. "Not glamorous, (but) it's an upbeat kind of story of growing up." He described the video as colour- ful, a blend of animation and three- dimensional work with a two-di- mensional hand-drawn feel to it. The video began getting play on Much Music in March and, he said, "remarkably it's still getting play." Oddly enough, though, he doesn't have cable where he's living in Hali- fax now, so he hasn't seen it played on Much Music himself. "If I saw it on TV I might crack a smile, but that's not why I do it," he said. "I just like the journey to cre- ate something." Wo rking for a small animation studio in Halifax, Copernicus Stu- dios, he plans to be in Toronto at the awards show, to be aired on Much Music on Sunday, June 20 at 9 p.m. His reason to be there was to see a friend, but that fell through. Still, he's going because he wants to shake hands with the people at Much Music responsible for giving the song so much play, and to meet his contemporaries in the industry. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 18, 2004 PAGE 31 A/P Port Hope Festival Theatre “Classic Plays in a Classic Theatre” 905-885-1071 www.phft.ca (online ticket sales now available) This romantic comedy by George Axelrod inspired the 1955 hit film starring Marilyn Monroe.

Kelly Verboom, who has starred for the provincial and na- tional youth teams, signed a let- ter of intent earlier this month to attend Northern Arizona Univer- sity. She is one of three freshman players signed to suit up for the Lumberjacks women's volleyball squad. But, the 17-year-old won't be alone in terms of Canadian con- tent on the Flagstaff, Arizona squad. Of the three 2004 fresh- man, two are Canadians, the other being British Columbian Colleen Flooker. Head coach Chris Campbell is also a Canuck. Campbell's ascension to head coach of the NAU volleyball pro- gram played a significant role in Verboom's decision to head to the Arizona resort town. She ad- mits the Lumberjacks, which compete in the NCAA Division I Big Sky Conference, were in the midst of some coaching turmoil after last season ended. Until that was sorted out, the 6-foot setter was reluctant to put pen to paper to sign a letter of intent for an athletic scholarship. "I didn't go on the official visit until I knew who the head coach was going to be for next year," says Verboom. A number of factors led her to NAU. "I like the team and the coach was Canadian, which was a big factor for me. The lifestyle there is so nice. It's in the mountains," she says. For his part, Campbell says the Lumberjacks are happy to have Verboom on board. "Kelly has a rare combination of hands and height," says Camp- bell, in a release. "She comes in with an exceptional foundation and very solid fundamentals. It will take some time to adjust to the collegiate game, but that ad- justment happens better and faster if the basics are covered, and she has that." Campbell went on to say that Verboom would add some versa- tility to the Lumberjacks. As well as being a premier setter, she also has the ability to play right- side, which is a plus for the team. Ve r boom had several scholar- ship offers, the best of which came from Indiana University- Purdue University Fort Wayne and from Binghamton University in New York. In addition to NAU, she also paid an official visit to Binghamton, but learned it was only willing to offer a half schol- arship. The Grade 12 student at Pine Ridge Secondary School has played volleyball at all levels, in- cluding six years as a member of the Durham Attack Volleyball Club and four years on the Pine Ridge senior girls' squad. Most importantly, Verboom played the past two seasons on the provincial team and also on the youth national team for a year. Earlier this month, she helped the Attack 'black' juvenile women's team to 18th spot at na- tionals in Moncton, N.B., out of a field of 75 teams. Currently, she's one of 31 play- ers to receive direct entry to the provincial women's team tryouts this month. If successful, she'll play throughout the summer, culminating in August with the National Team Challenge Cup (NTCC) Tournament in Saskatchewan. She leaves for Arizona Aug. 10 and begins her training regimen that day. The Lumberjacks see their first action at the Southern Methodist University tourna- ment in Dallas, Texas Sept. 4.

Ajax Primera delivers at COVI soccer event Under-11 boys go undefeated to claim Vaughan tournament crown AJAX — The Ajax Primera boys' under-11 rep soccer team went undefeated en route to the championship at the City of Vaughan International (COVI) Tournament last week- end. Ajax won all six of its tourna- ment games, including a well- deserved 1-0 win over the Glen Shields Sun Devils 'A' squad in the finals. Chris Palmer scored the game winner for Primera. The Ajax boys blanked Rich- mond Hill 'A' 2-0 in the semifi- nals. Shawn-Claud Lawson, the tournament's most valu- able player, scored both Ajax goals. In the quarter-finals, Ajax continued its dominance by crushing Vaughan Azzurri 5-0. Kamden Johnson-Holder paced the Primera team with two goals, while Palmer, Law- son and Kirk Gonsalves added single goals. Ajax started round-robin play with a 2-0 win over Klein- berg-Nobleton. Palmer and Mark Crumplen scored. Next, Ajax edged Glen Shields 'B' 2-1. Lawson netted both goals. In Game 3, the Ajacians made it a clean sweep of pre- liminary play with a 7-1 win over York United. Lucas Guerriero counted three goals, with Lawson, Johnson-Holder, Gonsalves and Crumplen adding single markers. Other team members are Josh Albrecht, Sheldon Cameron, Quincy Daniels, Chris Gray, Adrian Harvey, Ryan Lyn, Nick Stehlin, Chris Walwyn and Keenan Williams. Paul Ova coaches the team, assisted by Don Palmer. The manager is Chris Lyn. Thousands descend on Pickering to launch dragon boats By Alexis Sciuk Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —The music and laughter could be heard along the Pickering Waterfront Trail, the closer to the water the loud- er the noise. As the trees cleared, thou- sands of people took over. More than 3,000 racers and spectators crowded along the waterfront last week, cheering on competitors at the eighth annual Pickering Dragon Boat Challenge. Colourful tents cov- ered almost every square inch of the field while dogs roamed freely and lawn chairs were nes- tled in between life-jackets and paddles. "There are just over one hun- dred teams participating in the dragon boat challenge," said or- ganizer John Urbanik, whose deep voice could be heard above all else. "We have over a dozen youth teams and then we have teams from as far away as Montreal and a lot of metro and local teams as well." Mr. Urbanik was situated in the middle of the crowd with a microphone in one hand and a pile of papers in the other, seemingly conducting an or- chestra of activity. Mr. Urbanik kept a close eye on the water as two dragon boats raced up to either side of a thin wooden dock. Water spilled over the dock as the rac- ers quickly and methodically jumped out. Two other teams of 20 waiting nervously on the g rass in life-jackets and with paddles in hand were ready to take their place. "There are 20 people in a boat and there is a steer person in the back and there is a drum- mer in the front and the drum- mer keeps the beat going on the drum and the steer person will change the tempo," explained Mr. Urbanik. Six boats compete during a race, travelling 500 metres. At this event, teams race once and then are ranked and compete according to how fast they are. As the day progresses, the teams compete against similar level teams for division titles. "There is technique that is in- volved when racing dragon boats," says Mr. Urbanik. "They have a start that en- gages a certain number of strokes at a very high rate to get the boat up and moving, then they go into a more fluid slower rate for a good portion of the race. Then, as they ap- proach the last 50 metres or so, they tend to up their stroke to have a push across the line." Among the participants were teams from a variety of univer- sities and high schools. There were also women-only boats and entries full of bankers. "It doesn't set up like a lot of other sports," said Mr. Urbanik. "It is very much where people at work, university or high school tend to get a group of people to- gether and they want to train and paddle together so it is very team-oriented and very group- oriented depending on where you come from." Mr. Urbanik noted dragon boat racing is for all ages, shapes and sizes. "You race someone who is at the same level as you," he said. Markham resident Nicky Hinds was encouraged by her sister-in-law to sign up. She hasn't stopped since. "I am in. I'm sold. It is being on the water and it is the adren- aline rush at the start that is absolutely amazing," said Ms. Hinds. Her team, Dragon Our Asses (DOA) competes in more than four races during the summer months. "I am in better shape than I was," said Ms. Hinds. "But I do it for the team sport atmos- phere. I do it because for me it is a real adrenaline rush and it is a real high, as well as for the athletics."

Beloved wife of the late William John Paull. Loving mother of Bruce and his wife Shirley. Much loved grandmother to Larry and his wife Susan, and Judy (MacLeod) and her hus- band Ken. Sadly missed by her six great-grandchil- dren: Matthew, Stephanie, and Melanie (Paull) and Ian, Jessica and Jenna (MacLeod). Survived by her sister Susie Chatsworthy and her husband Steve (of Somerset, England) and her many nieces and nephews in the UK. Dear Godmother to Donna Payne, and Lynn-Anne Byrne. Bessie was a long- time active member of the South Pickering Senior Citizen's Club and last of its' six original members who founded the club, holding its first meetings in their homes. Bessie was an avid bingo player, loved to play cards, especially with her children, grandchil- dren, and great-grandchildren. She was a great knit- ter, knitting many pairs of slippers for many club fund raising functions. Many thanks to her good friends at St. Martin's Senior s Complex. Thanks also to the doctors, nurses and staff at Sunnybrook Cancer Clinic, and Centenary Health Centre, and the Palliative Care Team at Bridgepoint Health Cen- tre. The family will receive friends at MCEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, 28 Old Kingston Road, Ajax (Pickering Village) 905-428-8488 from 1-4 and 6-8 pm on Thursday. The funeral service will be held in the chapel on Friday June 18, 2004 at 11:00 am. Interment in Resthaven Memorial Gardens, Scarbo- rough. Should family and friends so desire, dona- tions to the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated. She will be in our hearts forever.

Wanderers won 17-15. Lopes shatters school record in 100-metre hurdles at NCAA championships DURHAM —Priscilla Lopes' magical season in track and f ield added another highlight over the weekend, one that could see her in Athens in Au- g ust. Lopes –– a Central Pickering Track and Field Club member and a sophomore student at the University of Nebraska — won silver on the weekend in the 100- metre hurdles at the NCAA out- door track and field champi- onships in Austin, Texas. The Whitby native's time of 12 .64 seconds crushed the school record in the event by more than a fifth of a second and was the fifth fastest time in collegiate history. The Canadian record in the event is held by Pickering's Perdita Felicien at 12.53 sec- onds. Perhaps more important, Lopes' time in Austin means all she has to do is finish in the top three in the event at the Canadi- an Senior Track and Field Championships and Olympic Trials in Victoria in July 9-11 to qualify for this year's Olympics being held in Athens. It's expected Lopes will com- pete in both hurdling and sprinting events at the champi- onships in Victoria. Lopes, 21, a Father Leo Austin High School graduate,won the NCAA indoor crown in the 60 metre hurdles in February, also with a school record time. She has three years of eligibility re- maining at Nebraska after this season.
