The Ajax man has been playing for almost as long as he can remember. Now, he’d like to fill more of his time playing for audiences at area seniors’ homes. Leslie Siklos has spent much of his life entertaining audiences By Tony Doyle Managing Editor AJAX –The show must go on. So insists Leslie Siklos. All it takes is a few minutes with the Ajax man and you realize the show does always go on. Approaching 90, but much younger in appearance and conversation, Mr. Siklos has been playing the violin almost since he first picked up the in- strument when he was about six - that is, after he started reading music at five. As he plays a Hungarian czardas by Italian composer Vittorio Monti in his living room, joy and passion are etched on his face. Surround- ed by pictures of Beethoven and Brahms, he follows up with another, this time off the top of his head. What’s the piece? An original. “I just made it up,” he ad- mits, noting he only plays classical pieces. “If you asked me to play it again, I could not.” Mr. Siklos has crafted a life- time of musical enjoyment - for himself, family members, the community and countless students. Now, almost two years after leaving the Oshawa-Durham Symphony Orchestra as a life- time member, one part of a long playing list that also in- cluded time with the Montreal Philharmonic, he’s doing his best to keep an audience’s at- tention. Mr. Siklos recently played for a group of seniors at Bally- cliffe Lodge in Ajax and is now trying to fill more of his sched- ✦See Low page A2 All New Look for 2004 NOW EVEN BETTER VALUE ANNANDALE COUNTRY CLUB per person + grat. & taxes Church St. At Bayly, Ajax, 905-683-3210 GOLF TOURNAMENTS AND DINNER PACKAGE DAILY GOLF RATES Weekdays.......$52 Weekends......$57 Mon. to Fri...$37 Sat., Sun. & Holidays...$42 Twilight.......1/2 Price taxes included 376 Kingston Rd., Pickering (NE corner of Rougemount & Hwy. #2) FINE CHINESE CUISINE & DINING LOUNGE For Reservations •OR• Great Take-Out 509-9888509-9888 Carl Ferencz/ News Advertiser photo Federal NDP leader Jack Layton brought his election message to Durham Region yesterday, visiting Local 222 of the Canadian Auto Workers union in Oshawa.

Local election issues fly Ajax and Pickering federal election candidates have their say at forum By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer DURHAM – R and D subsi- dies and an airport were on the menu as the Ajax-Picker- ing Board of Trade hosted an all-candidates forum. About 100 people attended the event, held Monday at the Annandale Golf and Curling Club. All candidates from the ridings of Pickering-Scarbor- ough East and Ajax-Picker- ing took part, except for Karen MacDonald, the Green Party hopeful in Ajax-Picker- ing. The sole business-related question had to do with what By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – In a close decision that almost saw the regional chairman have to cast the de- ciding vote, the battle on whether to make the Region’s top spot an elected one was of- ficially lost. In a last-minute reprieve at the May 26 council meeting, Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson used the rules of procedure to keep the vote alive until last Wednesday’s council meeting. Councillors had to decide whether to bring the direct election of the regional chair- man issue back to the council f loor, or to receive it for infor- mation. Receiving it meant the issue cannot be brought up again for a year, and was technically not a direct vote on the issue itself. “We do a disservice to this council when we don’t make a clear decision,” said Coun. Nicholson. “We have a respon- sibility (to our residents) to be accountable...and cast our vote.” Coun. Nicholson said voting to receive was a “tool to avoid a debate.” While the local mu- nicipalities had all voted on the issue, regional council had not, and that leaves the public in limbo. Chairman election call voted down one final time Woodcock pretrial begins New trial in murder of Pickering man, Gagnon owner By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM –Lawyers are to consult with a judge on pretri- al motions tomorrow as they prepare for the start of a new trial for a man accused in con- nection with one of Durham Region’s most notorious crime sprees. Crown attorney Greg O’- Driscoll and a representative from defence lawyer Peter Zaduk’s office will be consult- ing in preparation for the re- trying of Ronald James Wood- cock, convicted in 1998 on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the infa- mous Gagnon Sports robbery. Ontario’s Court of Appeal ordered a new trial for Mr. Woodcock, 51, last year. Mr. Zaduk said last week it’s tough to predict just when the new trial will start. It’s difficult to say,” Mr. Zaduk said. “I would suspect in a case like this, there would be a series of pretrials before a trial date is set. “I’d be surprised if it starts this year,” Mr. Zaduk said. “It was a big, complex case ... you just cannot get it back on its feet right away.” John Scott, head Crown at- torney for Durham Region, also predicted a series of pre- trial sessions before the case goes to court. Pretrial hearings are in camera sessions, usually held in the absence of the defen- dant, at which lawyers and a judge will review issues that may arise during trial. Mr. Woodcock and his co- accused, Roshan Nourozali, were found guilty by a jury in September 1998, following a two-month jury trial. They ✦See New page A5 ✦See Democracy page A2 RONALD WOODCOCK Pretrial motions begin tomorrow. ✦See Candidates page A4 ule with concerts at other seniors’ homes. “I like to play for old people,” he says. “They are not crippled, they are just old and they enjoy it.” It also takes him right back to an- other time. “I have the feeling that I’m playing in a symphony concert,” he says. Mr. Siklos and his wife Clara moved to Ajax in 1980, settling into the home they still occupy today. Ask how long they’ve been married, and Mrs. Siklos just says a long time. They have two sons, two grandsons, one grand- daughter and a great-grandson. Their keys to youthfulness, she says, are a low-profile lifestyle, a good spouse and being vegetarians. Mr. Siklos agrees. There are also regular walks and daily games of chess. They arrived in Montreal in 1958, escaping to Canada from Hungary. Speaking neither of the country’s offi- cial languages, Mr. Siklos auditioned for the Montreal Philharmonic, not- ing music is a “universal language.” He aced the audition and landed a coveted seat. Aside from Mrs. Siklos, who’s al- ways taken in her husband’s perfor- mances and admits to being lucky to enjoy daily concerts at home, there’s been another accomplice in Mr. Sik- los’s musical journey. His 104-year-old violin has been with him since 1948. Mrs. Siklos recalls her husband tak- ing a violin to a repairman, who men- tioned he had a good violin for sale for 300 Hungarian forints. After relaying the news to his wife, she had only one piece of advice. “I said ‘don’t walk, run back and buy the violin’,” she recalls. Upon arriving in Ajax, Mr. Siklos immediately looked for an outlet to play, landing with the Oshawa- Durham Symphony Orchestra. The couple’s pride in the orchestra and conductor Marco Parisotto is im- mense, holding them up against any- one. “Why go to Roy Thomson Hall when we have such a fantastic orches- tra here?” Mrs. Siklos asks. Mr. Siklos would probably still be playing, but admits the rehearsal schedule became too demanding. Still, last year Mr. Parisotto called him out of retirement for a show when the orchestra was short a few bodies. He slipped right back in like he’d never been away. “Marco Parisotto has such a talent to bring out, to complete an idea with an orchestra, that is very important,” he says. “He can do fantastic things.” The couple still takes in every con- cert of the orchestra’s season. Much of Mr. Siklos’s life has also been devoted to teaching. He’s im- parted his knowledge on family, friends and many others. The best of them all? He offers a picture of a young man, Glenn Cain, his former student, shaking hands with Pope John Paul following a performance at the Vatican in 1987. Today, he’s given up his teaching for all but one student, Jack Shukla. The architect of the Pickering Recre- ation Complex was able to talk Mr. Siklos out of retirement and has been taking lessons for almost two years. Mr. Shukla surprised Mrs. Siklos on her 90th birthday in April when he performed happy birthday. “My husband may not be the top vi- olinist, but he is the best teacher,” de- clares a proud Mrs. Siklos. We want to highlight the people who make our communities go. So, if you know an interesting individual, famous or even not-so-well known, living in Ajax or Pickering, let us know.

Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle, who has been vocally against directly electing the chairman, agreed. “Democracy is not the solution for everything,” he said, adding that if people have problems with the re- gional chairman, they can come to council and ask them to make “changes to his authority,” but that direct election was not the way to go. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish and Clar- ington Mayor John Mutton, the two who spearheaded the directly elected chairman campaign, both waded into the debate. “It may be a surprise to some people, but there is a lot of sup- port for this,” Mayor Parish said. “I talk to people on the street about this and they say, ‘Hey, it’s a no-brainer.’” He gave the example of a school trustee, who is directly elected, yet only makes $5,000 a year and has vir- tually no power. The regional chair- man’s salary recently jumped from $101,00 to $151,000. Part of the process to have the chairman elected by the residents of Durham required triple majority, or support from five of Durham’s eight municipalities amounting to 51 per cent of the Region’s population, plus a majority of regional councillors. Pickering, Ajax, Oshawa and Clar- ington councils voted to directly elect, while Whitby, Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock voted not to. In a last ditch effort to sway coun- cil, Coun. Nicholson said the regional chairman is the most powerful per- son in the Region, pointing out that he has a vote and can make motions on every regional committee, and represents Durham at every level of government. But in the end, the mo- tion was lost 15-13. How the chairman vo t es were cast: NO: Mayor Marcel Brunelle (Whitby), Coun. Joe Drumm (Whitby), Coun. Gerry Emm (Whitby), Coun.

By Lesley Bovie and Tim Kelly Staff Writer DURHAM –Oshawa has been getting a lot of Jack Layton’s attention lately. The NDP leader made not one, but two trips to the City this week en- dorsing local candidate Sid Ryan. “People know in Oshawa what a real voice in Parliament can do, and that was from the days we had Ed Broadbent representing Oshawa,” he told a press conference at the Cana- dian Auto Workers hall Tuesday. “Now we have the prospect of not only Ed Broadbent coming back to Ottawa, but of Sid Ryan, who is an articulate, powerful spokesman for working people, for public services, right across the Province,” Mr. Lay- ton said. “He’s someone that you know is going to be on his feet in the House of Commons, and working behind the scenes and working with the commu- nity, and the trade unions on a day- in, day-out basis.” Accompanied by his wife, Olivia Chow, who is running in a Toronto riding, and Mr. Ryan, Mr. Layton also rode in a convertible during Sunday’s Fiesta parade. He’s riding high this week after a To ronto Star poll Saturday revealed he has the support of 26 per cent of Ontario voters and more than 20 per cent nationally. Mr. Layton has spent much of the campaign in British Columbia, where polls suggest the NDP could make a dramatic breakthrough. But he is now putting in heavy time in Ontario until election day, trying to take candidates over the top in winnable NDP ridings. “What I’m saying to Canadians is to give the NDP a central role in Par- liament, whether that be in govern- ment or in opposition,” he told the News Advertiser during Sunday’s stop in Oshawa. Mr. Layton told autoworkers Tues- day it was the only way to stop the Liberals from privatizing health care and the Conservatives from sending auto jobs to the United States and Mexico. He said it’s not good enough that the Liberals have suddenly “woken up” to offer automakers incentives after 11 years of “neglect.” Mr. Layton also attacked Conservative leader Stephen Harper’s remarks to the To r onto Board of Trade, in which he said his party would offer tax cuts or incentives, but not both to industry. “He wants to wash his hands of au- tomotive communities like Oakville and Oshawa, but I think you’re going to wash your hands of the Tories and give a central role to the NDP. That’s what I think you’re going to do here in Oshawa,” said Mr. Layton. Chris Buckley, president of CAW Local 222, said he’s enthusiastic about the NDP’s emphasis on health care and its auto strategy, which promises “smart government sup- port” for automakers. Many of his 23,000 members are coming back to the NDP after years of giving their support to the Liber- als or Conservatives, he said. “I think it’s because we’re doing such a good job now of educating our members,” Mr. Buckley said. “They’re looking beyond the day-to- day to the future.” The Liberals lack of action on auto incentives and now the Ontario Lib- eral health premiums, set to take ef- fect July 1, are of major concern to autoworkers, he said. Workers are also worried about their children being able to earn a decent standard of living, he added. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 23, 2004 PAGE A3 A/P ON SOFAS, KITCHENS, DINING ROOM, ENTERTAINMENT, BEDROOMS AND LEATHER FURNITURE NO ADMINISTRATION CHARGE O.A.C.FINANCING PLUS NO GST NO PST 0% We Make It Easy To Purchase Quality!

FREE PARKING Layton wants central role for NDP More than 8,500 get voting head start at advance polls DURHAM –Residents in the Picker- ing-Scarborough East riding may not be able to vote often but they are voting early. At the close of advance polls Fri- day, Saturday and Monday, 4,750 voters had cast their ballots in ad- vance of the June 28 federal election, according to Elections Canada offi- cials. In Ajax-Pickering Riding, just more than 3,800 people decided June 28 was too far off. Ajax-Pickering is a new riding in this federal election, having been carved out of two former ridings. There are more than 70,000 eligible voters for this election. Signs aren’t great for Holland and Soetens DURHAM –Candidates for two par- ties running in Ajax-Pickering Rid- ing have been warned to follow the rules on signs or face having them confiscated. The Town has received numerous complaints about the size of candi- date signs, particularly Liberal Mark Holland’s, Ajax clerk Marty de Rond says. Signs placed on the sides of re- gional roads have to comply with the regional sign bylaw, he says. Letters have been sent to Mr. Hol- land and Conservative candidate Rene Soetens telling them to com- ply, Mr. de Rond notes. He adds it’s the Town’s preference that “we don’t like to insert our- selves into this.” The Town received a legal opinion stating it had the right to enforce the Region’s sign bylaw. “The ball’s in their court.” each candidate’s party would do to ensure research and development subsidies would continue for corpo- rations and universities. Matthew Pollesel, the Green Party candidate in Pickering-Scarborough East, said, “We recognize we have to put money into research,” adding the party would increase the gas tax and use the extra money for R and D “so cars don’t run on gas.” Ajax-Pickering Liberal hopeful Mark Holland said his party would “continue our commitment” to pro- viding money for R and D, adding his party would provide $2.8 billion for various initiatives. He criticized the Conservative Party platform, saying they call subsidies “corporate wel- fare” and would eliminate them. The Conservative candidate in Pickering-Scarborough East, Tim Dobson, countered, “Our policy firm- ly supports research and develop- ment. Mr. Holland’s comment wouldn’t affect R and D investment.” “We would make Pickering and other communities centres for green energy,” offered Gary Dale, the New Democratic Party candidate in Pick- ering-Scarborough East. “We would pour money into universities, pri- marily to keep tuitions down, so they would serve our best and brightest and not our richest.” As for a possible airport in north Pickering, Ajax-Pickering Conserva- tive candidate Rene Soetens would support one “if it’s necessary.” Such a facility would be “an eco- nomic boost to the area,” he added, noting a reliever airport could han- dle jets and other large aircraft, not just Cessnas. Pickering-Scarborough East Lib- eral hopeful Dan McTeague said the financing would have to be in place and an environmental assessment completed before an airport would be built. “I think it’s still a ways off.

It was on that day around 5:30 p.m. that two masked men stormed into the Simcoe Street South store, screaming at staff and patrons to get down on the floor and firing at will when they failed to move quickly enough. Store owner Roger Pardy, 43, a married father of two sons, died after being shot in the chest and head. Three others in the store were wounded by shots from a .22 calibre rifle. The masked men smashed a glass case and made off with 11 handguns. Earlier that day 55-year-old Kenneth Thomas, a Pickering carpenter, was killed execu- tion-style with four bullets to the head and left near the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. It would be months before his remains were found. His car was used in the rob- bery and abandoned a few blocks away. Both Mr. Woodcock and Mr. Nourozali launched appeals, which were heard in February 2003. While the court dis- missed Mr. Nourozali’s appeal, it ordered a new trial for Mr. Woodcock. Justice Eleanore Cronk, writing on behalf of three Court of Appeal judges, agreed with Mr. Woodcock’s argument that trial judge Harry LaForme had erred in allowing the jury to hear details of other robberies in which the defen- dant had been involved. Justice Cronk wrote that “such evidence, although po- tentially relevant to the ulti- mate issue of guilt or inno- cence, poses grave dangers to a fair trial.” Mr. Zaduk said last week restaging the trial will be chal- lenging. Among those chal- lenges will be coaxing witness- es to hearken back to events that occurred a decade ago, he said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 23, 2004 PAGE A5 P Thinking about Durham College?

Pickering council passed a bylaw Monday night prevent- ing trains from sounding their whistles at crossings at two lo- cations on the Canadian Pacif- ic Rail line north of Finch Av- enue. “This is to enact the whistle- blowing prohibition at the Scarborough border,” Mayor Dave Ryan said. The other location is Altona Road. The sounding of the whistle in the Belleville subdi- vision has been a concern to residents in recent years as housing developments moved closer to the line. Both Ward 1 Regional Coun- cillor Rick Johnson and Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles said they have heard from area residents who were bothered by the whistles. “At three or four o’clock in the morning it’s not a nice sound to hear,” Coun. Johnson said. He said in areas where a bylaw has already been passed, the conductors or engineers are still sounding the whistle and residents are still being disturbed. “Regardless of what is in place if (the conductor or engi- neer) feels it necessary to blow the whistle, they can,” Mayor Ryan said. ✦ New from page A1 www.durhamregion.com P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 23, 2004 www.durhamregion.com You just might find it’s a lifesaver One of the cardinal rules that was indelibly tat- tooed on my soul during my training as an improviser, is to always say ‘Yes.’ Basically, this means never, ever, on pain of death, negate or block an idea or offer given to you. On stage, it can lead to hilarity. I walk into a scene, for exam- ple, thinking I’m going to be a pi- rate, when, before I can utter a “Yar‚” or a “Shiver me timbers‚” another performer walks onstage and says to me: “G’day Mrs. O’Reilly! And how is that gout of yours doin’?” As a performer trained from birth to say ‘yes’ to anything and everything, I don’t flip out or try to push my Pirate idea into the scene. Instead, if I know what’s good for me, I happily shift gears, chucking Bluebeard out the win- dow to become a gout-ridden (and potentially entertaining) Irish washerwoman. The point is to get into the frame of mind where your first reaction, always, is to throw positive energy be- hind ideas, instead of shutting them down or nay-saying. More than just a useful rule for per- formers, it’s a marvellous way to go through life. That’s why I’m having a diffi- cult time learning to say “No‚” all of a sudden. As a result of my in- troduction to Cancer Man and his annoying sidekick Chemo- sabe‚ I have had to take a pass on a lot of things that used to bring me a great deal of pleasure, things that defined a big part of who I was. I cannot coach my son’s soft- ball team. I cannot help my won- derful friends snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in our annual Beach Volleyball tournament. I cannot swim in the lake at the cottage. I cannot lose myself in a blissful hour of stopping or not stopping pucks on a Thursday night with the boys. I cannot ride my bike until I feel my heart kick- ing wildly and joyously in my throat. I cannot perform. One by one, I have had to say a regretful no‚ to these and other activities that I once embraced with a hearty, improviser’s ‘yes’. It has been difficult and it has made me, in turn, angry, sad and self-pitying. But just lately (I am a slow learner after all) I am beginning to realize that no matter how many ‘no’s one has to spit out, there are always things to still say ‘yes’ to. As I write this, for in- stance, I am sitting, comfortably ensconced in a pile of cushions, on my screened-in balcony, sur- rounded by an orchestra of bird- song and the lush green wallpa- per of a maple tree, my dog hap- pily lazing beside me. It is quite magical. Had I not had to learn to say ‘no’‚ to all of those other things, I might never have thought to say ‘yes’ to this. Another gift from Cancer Man? I’m not sure. I’m still not returning the jerk’s calls. Hopefully, though, when all of this is done and I have thrown away all memory of torment and needles and sickness, I will have retained this simple yet extraor- dinary ability to always look for the thing to say ‘yes’ to. Try it yourself. I think you’ll find it’s a lifesaver. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

Editorial Editorials &Opinions WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Letters to the Editor Time is now for Tories Conservative Party our choice for bringing change to Ottawa It happens eventually to every longtime federal or provincial government: Policies get tired, leaders and politicians get tired, and the public, ultimately, gets tired of electing the same old bunch to Parliament. And usually it’s not the old leader of the old gang who gets the political boot but, rather, the new leader. In recent times, we saw the Progressive Conservatives take a whipping in 1993, when Kim Campbell paid for the sins of nine years of Brian Mulroney rule. In 1984, Liberal John Turner took the fall for Pierre Trudeau’s almost 16- year reign. Now, it is Liberal Paul Martin’s turn to face the wrath of voters for Jean Chrétien’s decade at the top. Mr. Martin inherited a scandal-plagued government that included some $100-million diverted to Quebec firms in the Ad Scam disaster. He also must carry the weight for the poor handling of the billion-dollar HRDC boondoggle. He has not been able to adequately account for nor ex- plain the billion-dollar-plus amount spent and wasted on the gun registry. Despite the best efforts of Liberals, there is still a strong Bloc presence in Quebec, there is Western alienation, and a chilly relationship with our friends in the United States. In Durham, Liberal inaction saw Canada’s bid to host ITER evaporate, taking with it the enormous potential for jobs, investment and research opportunities. In the end, three straight majority Liberal governments are enough. It’s time for a change. While the Conservatives under Stephen Harper do not have all the answers for what ails Canada, they differ enough from the Liberals in significant ways to be given a chance to govern. The Conservatives promise to deliver plenty of money to health care to keep the system strong, tax cuts for mid- dle-income earners, more money for defence spending and a closer relationship with our U.S. allies. Not only that, but Mr. Harper has made government accountability a key element of his campaign and promis- es a stronger role for the Auditor General. The biggest problem for the Liberals is that they have talked for years about improving accountability but have done virtually nothing about it. Locally, Conservative Tim Dobson’s strong campaign, connections and past experience have earned him a spot in Ottawa. In addition, he brings the management and team-building skills that are necessary in Ottawa. That type of consensus building is what Pickering needs at the federal level. Liberal Dan McTeague has spent 11 years in Ottawa. While he likes to contend he’s the hardest working MP in Ottawa, it seems almost all of his focus is anywhere but his home riding, which is far from his Oakville home. In Ajax-Pickering Riding, Conservative Rene Soetens has delivered exactly what local residents deserve in an MP. He has the experience from a previous federal term in Ottawa, he’s well spoken, well organized and has deep connections across both Ajax and Pickering through his extensive community work. These factors will serve the communities well in Ot- tawa. His main opponent, Liberal Mark Holland, also de- livered a strong campaign and has a track record as a mu- nicipal politician. But his ties to the Liberal Party over its reign in government mean he brings anything but a fresh approach. Learn to say ‘Yes’ often Don’t make another mistake with Liberals To the editor: With the federal election fast approaching, let’s hope the vot- ers of Ajax-Pickering will not be hoodwinked by the Liberals again as they were in the provin- cial election. We will all be paying for that until we throw them out in four years. Fo rtunately, our part of Ajax was in MPP Jim Flaherty’s riding and we were able to see through the Liberal smokescreen and have him re-elected. G.S. Hutchinson Ajax Holland should have resigned To the editor: Once again I write a letter to the editor as we have another member of Pickering council who, like ex mayor Wayne Arthurs provincially, did not have the decency to resign his council seat and then run as a candidate in the federal election. Apparently Pickering council is being used as a stepping stone to federal politics, which by itself is fine, but those members who de- cide to run for another political office should at least have the guts to resign. Then they can run as a legitimate candidate and thereby not use their current po- sition as a backup in case they are defeated. I stated once before that I do not believe the citizens of Picker- ing need, want or deserve a sec- ond-hand mayor or councillor. Mark Holland has chosen to make the position of councillor his second choice, thus hedging his bets, as did Mr. Arthurs. I do not think any resident of this fair city wants that. I ask Mr. Holland the same question that I asked Mr. Arthurs: Where do your interests lie? In Pickering where they should be as a councillor, or in Ottawa? If you say Ottawa, then resign your council seat and take your chances legitimately. I believe it is time to bring in a law stating that you must resign one elected political position be- fore running as a candidate for another one. E.L. McCallum, Pickering Team Martin leaves you guessing To the editor: With the election just around the corner, I am surprised the Liberal Party is not running this time. I can see the signs of The Green Party, NDP, Conservatives and a new group called Team Mar tin. No Liberal signs are dis- played. The leader of Team Martin has also put his picture on the poster at the very top. I wonder, if he wins, would Canadians have to see his statues at street corners too? Vaqar Raees Pickering Bloc doesn’t belong with other parties To the editor: I would like to make an obser- vation about the upcoming elec- tion and the Bloc Québécois party. I don’t see how that party can be considered eligible as a federal party as it doesn’t exist beyond Quebec’s borders. Correct me if I’m wrong, but people in the other provinces, es- pecially those out west, have no Bloc members to vote for or rep- resent them. How could they, then, be considered eligible to participate in a federal election. I’m appalled that our federal government allows this to hap- pen. Is this another appease- ment by the government? That party is an affront to Canadian democracy and should not be allowed to participate in any federal election. In fact, I be- lieve one of its aims is to take Quebec out of Canada and make it a sovereign state. Finally, why hasn’t this ques- tion been raised through the press?

Thursday, June 24, 2004 7:00 pm Pickering Civic Complex Council Chambers Pickering Nuclear The safest way to enjoy fireworks while celebrating Canada Day is to attend the public display at Kinsmen Park. Family fireworks should only be used in clear areas away from other structures and dry vegetation. The Pickering Fire Services offers the following family fireworks safety tips: • Purchase your fireworks from a reliable source. • Always read and follow the label directions. • Fireworks should only be handled by responsible adults – never allow children to handle or light them. • Use outdoors only. Choose an open area for the display that is free of trees, power lines, buildings, cars or any other obstructions. • Always have water handy (a garden hose or bucket). • Never experiment or make your own fireworks. • Store them away from children. All fireworks, including sparklers, should be kept in a cool, dry, secure location to which young children do not have access both before and after the display. • Designate one adult to be in charge. They should light only one firework at a time. Wear eye protection, gloves and non-flammable clothing during the show. • Never re-light a "dud" firework (wait 30 minutes then soak it in a bucket of water). • Dispose of fireworks properly by soaking them in water overnight and then disposing of them in your trashcan. • Never throw or point fireworks at other people. • City Of Pickering By-law 5495/99 prohibits the ignition, discharge or set-off of any firecrackers, rockets or other fireworks in any City park. Contact the Pickering Fire Services at 905.420.4628, or, email fire@city.pickering.on.ca for more information about fireworks or fire safety.

Meanwhile, other spending, scandal and waste saw healthy increases. And one has to wonder why Paul Martin’s new healthcare initiatives were not included in the Liberal throne speech just months ago. Ontario voters have the right to be leery of Liberal promises made in the heat of an election. Canadians deserve better. First off, we’ll eliminate the systemic Liberal waste and misspending. We’ll also try to find the missing billions and hundreds of millions of your hard earned tax dollars (Remember, Paul Martin cancelled the adscam inquiry and called an election). We’ll redirect those billions to healthcare and other priorities that Canadians cherish. I’m Tim Dobson and I’ll deliver on these priorities. It’s time for voters of Pickering –Scarborough East to elect an MP that will work for them and focus on our local issues. That’s why it’s also important for voters to elect an MP who lives in the riding and experiences these issues first hand. On June 28th, I hope that you’ll demand better and vote Tim Dobson and the Conservative Party of Canada.

See page B3 Sports Briefs JUNE 23, 2004Focus pays off big for Felicien Pickering hurdler adds another title to her growing resume By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING —Fo cused and pre- pared. That was the difference in Perdita Felicien's latest outing at the Pre- fontaine Classic Meet in Eugene, Oregon, as opposed to her two previ- ous outings in Europe. And, what an outing it was. The 23-year-old city Olympian cap- tured the 100-metre hurdles crown in a time of 12.46 seconds. It was not only the fastest time in the world this year, but also represented a new Canadian record. It eclipsed her pre- vious mark of 12.53 seconds, set at last year's world outdoor champi- onships in Paris. "My last few races I hadn't been connecting with the race," says Feli- cien in an e-mail interview on Mon- day. "I would warm up and just line up. I abandoned my focus and it cost me. I made it a point to focus in Eu- gene and really be thorough in my approach to the race. I began to con- centrate on what I wanted to do, how I wanted to feel. I ignored who was in the race and just had tunnel vision the entire time." Felicien finished ahead of Ameri- cans Danielle Carruthers in second and Jenny Adams in third. Another Canadian, Angela Whyte, of Edmon- ton, finished fourth. Felicien says her race, from start to finish, was flawless. "My reaction to the gun was great and my start was better than it was in Paris. The entire flight of those 10 hurdles felt effortless," she said. "There was no delay of the results as the times we ran were immediately on the scoreboard. I saw the time and was pleased but felt sure it was wind-aided. "The announcer told the crowd that they were waiting for the wind read- ing. Even though I felt virtually no wind prior to or during the race I doubted myself just a bit. Finally he announced that the wind was not a factor and the time stood as the fastest in the world. They didn't real- ize it was also a Canadian record but I did and to me that was the biggest accomplishment." Most of all, she felt that despite achieving a new Canadian standard and a best time in the world so far in 2004, she feels she can go faster. "I always said that hurdling in the 12.50 range is elite, but sub 12.50 is another stratosphere in itself. I have so much left in my tank and can't wait to run even faster. I am just thankful to God for a breakthrough like that, it came at just the right time." She believes going into the Athens Olympics, her time at Oregon will provide her with an advantage that she hopes will play in her favour on the starting line. Although her main rival, American Gail Devers, has beaten her twice this season, Felicien believes she can run with her, and beat her on the world's biggest stage. "This is a great boost going into the Games. It gives me confidence and indicates what level I can run on. If I had doubts before, I don't anymore. I know I can run with Gail Devers and the rest of them. It also sends a mes- sage to the competition, it may even scare them a bit and give me a psy- chological edge. It also shows that I wasn't lucky in Paris (outdoor worlds) or Budapest (indoor worlds), and I shouldn't be taken too lightly because I am proving I can run fast consistently. Overall I feel I am right on track for the Olympics, as long as I remain hungry and healthy." Felicien says she was scheduled to run three more meets in Rome, Italy and Lausanne, Switzerland, but she's since reconsidered, saying she simply needs to continue training prior to the Canadian Senior Track and Field Championships and Olympic Trials in Victoria July 9 to 11 . There, she'll attempt to win her fourth Canadian 100m hurdles title. "I think it's best for me to train till the trials; no use running too much - - especially after such a taxing per- formance (in Oregon)," she says. Following the Canadian trials, she'll compete in races in London, Paris and Stockholm prior to the Olympic Games. NOTES:Felicien is the keynote speaker at the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario annual lecture in Toronto on Thursday. The title of her lecture is, 'You have to believe you can do it.' PERDITA FELICIEN Smashes own Canadian record. Barnes opens new swimming chapter Pickering man headed to Pittsburgh on collegiate scholarship By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING —After weighing all his options, a Pickering swimmer de- cided to start his collegiate career in Steeltown U.S.A. Warren Barnes will join a swim- ming juggernaut at the University of Pittsburgh that has won the NCAA Division 1 Big East Confer- ence title 19 out of the past 22 years, including the past eight in a row. Competing for one of the top colle- g iate swimming programs in the U.S. was one consideration. But, Barnes admits it was the coaches, including head coach Chuck Knoles, who ultimately had the most impact on him joining the Panthers' swim team on a four-year athletic scholarship. "The coaches were really nice to me and it seemed like a really good place to start university," says the 19-year-old, a member of the Scar- borough Swim Club and a graduate of Dunbarton High School. "I'm pretty excited. I think it's going to be a pretty good experi- ence." For his part, Knoles says he's counting on Barnes -- one of three freshmen joining the Panthers' in the fall -- to be part of the school's winning tradition. "Warren is a seasoned national and international swimmer," says Knoles in a press release. "He should be able to come in and make significant contributions to the team's attempt to win a ninth con- secutive Big East Championship." Barnes had scholarship offers from two other prestigious universities, Ohio State and North Carolina. He visited both but, upon meeting the Panthers' coaching staff, he settled upon Pittsburgh. Barnes has been nothing short of consistent in his performances over the past several years in his special- ties -- the 50-metre, 100m and 200m breaststroke. A former Canadian junior champion in the 100m breast, he's placed in the top six at long course nationals over the past three years. He's currently in training for the Canadian Olympic Trials at the Etobicoke Olympium pool July 6 to 11 . He'll swim all three breaststroke events at the trials, which deter- mine the 2004 Canadian Olympic swim team for Athens. Although he doesn't believe an Olympic berth is in the offing, Barnes says his goal is to qualify for the final in all three events. "I don't think I have that big of a shot," he says. "I'm hoping to make the (Olympic) team for 2008." A member of the Scarborough club for the past four years, Barnes gives credit to head coach Sylvain Pineau for his development into a top-cali- bre swimmer and for his prepara- tion for the leap into the collegiate pool. "He's been really great," he says. Barnes won't be the only Canadi- an on the Pittsburgh swim team. He'll be joined by Laura Wise of Brampton on the pool deck. Ajax junior hockey player honoured as ‘hot prospect’ AJAX —An Ajax junior 'A' hockey player was the recipient of one of the Ontario Hockey Association's Hot Prospect Awards at its 115th annual general meeting in London this past weekend. Michael Kostka, 18, a defenceman with the Aurora Tigers of the OHA's On- tario Provincial Junior 'A' Hockey League's North Conference, was one of six players named to the award. The award is in recognition of play- ers who are identified as having a legiti- mate opportunity to progress to the National Hockey League. Kostka played a large role in the Tigers' victory over the Kindersley Klip- pers in the championship game of the RBC Royal Bank Cup national junior championship in Grande Prairie, Alber- ta last month. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound rearguard will skate in the fall with the University of Massachusetts Amherst Minutemen on a four-year athletic scholarship. Past winners of the Hot Prospects Award include Steve Emminger, Mike Cammelleri, Nathan Horton and Dan Paille. Doubles your fun on the golf course PICKERING —Golf meets squash in an upcoming fund-raising venture. The 'Doubles Vision 2005' golf tour- nament at the Glen Cedars Golf Course on Thursday, July 15 benefits the fund- raising effort to build a doubles squash court at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex. The court is part of an overall ex- pansion to the complex, with a new fit- ness area, meeting and utility rooms also to be added. The new court is ex- pected to be built by the fall of 2005. The Pickering Squash Club and the City of Pickering have formed a part- nership to share the costs. The club is committed to raising $250,000 toward the $2-million project, said Kevin Cahill, a squash club member who's also a City of Pickering employee. The first in- stalment of $20,000 was presented to City council in April. The golf event features three hole- in-one car contests, sponsored by For- mula Ford, Volvo Durham and Coventry Lane Jaguar. There are also prizes for gross and net scores, closest to the pin, longest drive and putting. Cost is $150, which includes lunch, steak dinner, golf, power cart and prizes. The event is limited to 144 entries. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan is the honorary chairman. Former Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Glenn Healy is the special guest for the day. For more information, call Cahill at 905-509-5668.

Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart said that a home renovation project should be a well-thought out decision. It could cost thousands of dollars and will affect your family for many years — enlisting the help of an expert is key. The first step is informa- tion gathering. Visit show- rooms, websites and publi- cations to learn what prod- ucts are available on the market. Get an overview and then narrow it down to what you really want. “The next step is having a face-to-face meeting with a specialist, not a general- ist,” Beninato said. It’s important to work with a person you feel com- fortable with. A rapport has to be established as well as a bond of trust. HIRE A SPECIALIST General contractors usu- ally have the skill to oversee an entire project and often contract out specific parts of it. Specialists focus on one trade. They do it day-in, day- out. They usually work faster because there is no learning curve and they are dedicated to the work at hand. Beninato said that con- sumers should look for spe- cialists such as those at Plumbing Mart, who can give them exact start dates, progress time and a sub- stantial completion date. “Buyers should be care- ful about vague timelines,” he said. “If you’re told that a contractor can start work in March, does that mean at the beginning of March or at the end of that month? Your life could be turned upside down for a whole month.” Consumers should also ask how long a contractor has been in business. A con- tractor that just started his business may have great intentions, but may not be able to respond appropriate- ly if an unforeseen problem is encountered. “Plumbing Mart has been in business for more than 40 years. If there is a problem we can make five phone calls and come up with five different solu- tions.” An established specialist will also have experienced several home renovating trends throughout the years and come up with its own innovations. WARRANTY Wa r ranty is a key point. Always ask if it covers the product, service, labour or all three. If a bathtub comes with a manufacturer’s warranty only, will your contractor remove it at no cost so that you can claim your warran- ty from the manufacturer? Is the cost of labour going to be charged to you? Only a specialist that stands behind all facets of its work can give consumers the peace of mid that they deserve. IT’S YOUR DREAM When telling your cho- sen renovator about your dream room, will that per- son follow your agenda or his. A good renovator should be able to think out- side the box and have the resources to deliver what you want. Once you have agreed on an idea, that ren- ovator should shop for all parts needed to complete the job. Ensure that your renova- tor also commits to dispos- ing of garbage and to leav- ing your home clean so that your family can start to enjoy the newly renovated kitchen or bathroom right away.

Limited Time Offer! mind Rock rolls up wins Senior ‘B’ lacrosse squad puts together back-to-back victories at home By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM —The Ajax-Pickering Rock moved out of the low-rent dis- trict after a productive weekend on the lacrosse floor. The Rock (5-6-1, 11 points) vault- ed from seventh into fourth place in the nine-team Ontario Lacrosse Association senior 'B' league stand- ings following two close victories on the weekend. And, with four games remaining — including a big tilt with Durham Region rival Brooklin Merchants at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night — the Rock can continue their ascent. Currently, they're within striking distance of third-place Arthur Aces (6-5-0, 12 points). And, there's a slim chance of a second-place finish, if Kitchen- er-Waterloo hits a rough patch in its remaining six games. The Rock needed overtime to run past the Ennismore Shamrocks 10- 7 at the complex Friday night. The victory enabled Ajax-Pickering to sweep the season series from the Shamrocks, winning both games. Tied 6-6 at the end of regulation time, the Rock outscored the Shamrocks 4-1 in overtime to take the victory. The Rock also endured a close shave against the visiting Barrie Lakeshores at the complex Satur- day night. In a goaltending duo fea- turing two pro ball stoppers (Bar- rie's Rob Blasdell of the San Jose Stealth and Ajax-Pickering's Mike Miron of the Arizona Sting), Ajax- Pickering prevailed 6-4 in the low- scoring affair. Saturday's win allowed the Rock to split the season series with the upstart Lakeshores at one game apiece. With three of their remaining four regular-season games at home, Rock general manager Paul St. John says achieving at least a third-place finish and gaining all- important momentum for the play- offs is the team's primary focus. "It gives us a chance to build for the playoffs," says St. John. "We have an opportunity to move up the ladder and we've already started to do that." St. John recognizes the Brooklin game on Friday as the "biggest game of the year", saying a win would all but guarantee third place and keep alive the team's hopes of f inishing second. The two teams played to a draw in their previous meeting, with Friday's game serv- ing as the rubber match. L ast Friday's game against En- nismore nearly ended up in a loss, thanks to some undisciplined play nearing the end of the third peri- od. This allowed the Shamrocks to score the tying goal and go into the extra frame with a man-advan- tage. Fortunately, Ajax-Pickering net- minder Jay Preece made several key saves late in the game and early in overtime to give the Rock a chance to win. A penalty shot awarded to Bill McLean in the extra period, which resulted in a goal, put the Rock in front to stay. Other scorers were Brad Cann and Pat Vanhooser, each with two, Mark Craig, Scott James, Paul O'- Grady, Jim Veltman and D.J. Cox, all with one. Meanwhile, Miron was rock-solid in the Barrie game, making many big saves, especially when Barrie was on the power play. Craig led the charge with a hat trick against Barrie. McLean, John Derochie and Cann added single markers. NOTES: Newly acquired Frank Lit - tlejohn had an effective debut. Re- leased by Brooklin and immediate- ly picked up by Ajax-Pickering, Lit- tlejohn provided a jolt of tough- ness, but also showed promise as a contributor on offence, although he didn't score on the weekend. "He played awesome," says St. John. JAY PREECE Strong game against Ennismore. BILL McLEAN Successful on penalty shot. The skinny:The Rock gave up a late, tying goal to Ennismore, which could have let the air out of an oth- erwise solid effort. Instead Ajax- Pickering regrouped in overtime, outscoring the Shamrocks 4-1, to pull out a 10-7 victory on Friday at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The game also came complete with a penalty shot in OT, with Ajax- Pickering Rock’s Bill McLean con- verting on the opportunity. On Sat- urday, also on home floor, the Rock played a solid defensive game –– backed by strong goal- tending by Mike Miron –– to outlast the visiting Barrie Lakeshores 6-4. Quotable:“It gives us a chance to build for the playoffs,” says head coach and general manager Paul St. John of the Rock’s three of four remaining games at home. For the record:Af ter losing their opening four games of the season, the Rock has gone from the base- ment to their current fourth-place perch in the nine-team standings, with a 5-6-1 mark. The weekend wins allowed the Rock to close to within one point of the third-place Arthur Aces. Next up:The Rock hope to contin- ue their winning ways against Durham Region rival Brooklin Mer- chants (3-6-1) at the complex on Friday night.

By David Stell News Editor AJAX —David Espeut was born to sing. The Ajax teen's earliest memory of singing for an audience comes from a performance at age six. It was a nat- ural fit from the start. "It felt comfortable," he says. "I enjoy singing in front of people." Now 16 and in Grade 11 at O'Neill Collegiate in Oshawa, he feels even more comfortable and has added the alto-saxophone to his repertoire. "I don't get nervous; I do get excit- ed," he explains. "I love everything to do with music, but I really love per- forming." Judging by his success in music competitions, he has hit on the right path in life. He was a finalist in the Dreams to Reality contest held by an Oshawa recording studio recently, earned high grades at the Oshawa Whitby Kiwanis Music Festival, and higher honours locally. At the Pickering Rotary Music Fes- tival he earned six individual first- place results and the overall star of the festival. That success is vindica- tion in different ways -- first for his own confidence and more important- ly to Espeut, for his parents. "My parents have been the biggest support to me," he says. "They went out on a limb and invested in me - that's a huge reason for where I am today." His confidence is his strength in all he does. Espeut performs in competi- tions like an athlete. "I go into it with the mindset of win- ning," he explains. "I do go in for fun, but I go in as prepared as I can to win the competition." The accolades at the festivals are a sign of his progression. "I don't think it was surprising, this win was like I'm moving ahead," he says. "I felt like I took it to the next level." His music of choice is jazz and as he closes in on the final year of high school, he's already thinking ahead to incorporating music into his universi- ty plans. He says there's no question music is what he wants to do for the rest of his life, whether performing or directing. Aw ay from music, he has per- formed at a high level in soccer, but gave up playing at the rep level re- cently in order to concentrate on music.
