Mr. Holland, the Liberal can- didate in Ajax-Pickering, won his seat with nearly 50 per cent of the vote. He is currently the Wa rd 2 regional councillor. At his victory party he said he would quit his council job “as soon as I’m gazetted. As soon as I become an MP, in about two weeks.” Mayor Ryan said council wouldn’t make a decision on what to do with the position until after Mr. Holland resigns. Under the Municipal Act, council has the choice between appointing someone to the po- sition or holding a byelection. In the mid-1990s when Ward 2 Regional Councillor David Farr passed away council did decide to appoint. “I would not be surprised if that is the course of action taken,” he said, because of the precedent set. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an ap- pointment from within coun- cil.” If an appointment were made from within council, councillors would then have to decide whether to fill the local seat through an appointment or a byelection. There are still two-and-a-half years left in the term of this council. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 2, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P LOCATED IN THE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE Look for our offer in next week’s paper Bring in this coupon and purchase one pound of any of our coffee and receive a FREE quarter pound.

Downed plane report being dismissed DURHAM –Reports of an air- plane floating in Lake Ontario are being dismissed after an exten- sive search failed to turn up any- thing. Captain Tim Seibert of the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Trenton said Thursday, “There was nothing to it at all.” At least five people reported seeing what looked like an air- plane in the water off the Picker- ing Beach area in south Ajax. Durham Regional Police and CFB rescue personnel were called out and a five-hour search was undertaken. Capt. Seibert said leading to his conclusion was “the fact we didn’t find an airplane and in the last 24 hours no one was reported missing. “We covered the area and didn’t find anything.” Councillors expressed their views on the study shortly after midnight once the 21 delegations had their say on what they want to see happen in the study area. It rec- ommends development for 39,000 residents on the provincially owned Seaton L ands and 37,900 in the southern portion of the Duffins Rouge Agricultur- al Preserve called Cherry- wood. “This has been a very comprehensive, consulta- tive and transparent process... We’ve had many, many meetings for the public to come out,” said Wa rd 3 City Councillor David Pickles. He went on to say the plan is superior to the one proposed by the Province, which has initiated its own study of Seaton and held a public meeting to share some of the details last week. “I’ll be supporting the report,” Coun. Pickles said. “It is the most mod- ern, consultative report that has been undertak- en.” Many of the concerns expressed during the evening were regarding the loss of farmland with the plan. There are easements on the land in the preserve classifying it as agricul- tural in perpetuity. “We’re very much op- posed to development on the ag preserve. Many of us have fought for 30 years to preserve these lands,” said Brian Buckles of the Green Door Alliance. “Farming is important to our community, but in order to operate you have to have the infrastruc- ture,” he said, adding three farm equipment outlets in the area have closed over the last few years.” Wa rd 2 City Councillor Bill McLean also spoke in favour of the study. “What we’ve done here is the responsible thing. We’ve identified the sensi- tive areas and where growth should take place,” he said. “I will also be supporting this.” Mayor Dave Ryan read a letter from Hazel McCal- lion, chairwoman of the Central Ontario Smart Growth Panel and mayor of Mississauga. The letter said development should occur where infrastruc- ture is or can be easily ex- panded to, which is part of the thinking behind the preferred growth option. Coun. Johnson said he made a decision years ago to not support develop- ment in the ag preserve and it is hard for him to reverse that. “There is a concern in the community about the integrity of the office I represent and because of that I can’t support this,” he said. “As much as I think there are good ideas in this report, I can’t sup- port it.” Many of the speakers against the option took objection to the fact the study was paid for by de- velopers who own land in the preserve. “If Phase 2 is adopted, this municipal govern- ment will not only be breaking a promise to Pickering residents but will be rewarding a few de- velopers,” said Sandy Rider of Whitevale. L andowners in the study area contributed $620,000 to the City to un- dertake the study. Nearly half of the dele- gates at the council meet- ing did speak in favour of the study including David Steele of Pickering-Ajax Citizens Together for the Environment (PACT), resident Steven Hunt and several consultants who represent the developers who own land in the pre- serve. The next step of the growth management study is for Dillon Con- sulting, in discussion with staff, to prepare Phase 3, a detailed neighbourhood plan.

Trustee in Bankruptcy FREE CONSULTATIONS trict School Board ex- pects to approve its 2004- 05 budget at a special July 12 board meeting. In his first budget draft report to trustees, busi- ness superintendent David Visser says the re- cent change in provincial governments means the three-year timeline to in- crease funding to school boards is on hold. Dr. Mordechai Rozanski, who reviewed the state of edu- cation funding for the Ontario government, set out the timeline in his re- port. That spells trouble for the board in the area of employee compensation, which accounts for about 80 per cent of its roughly $185-million budget. “I think we’re about seven per cent behind in wages, and that is a tremendous effect,” Mr. Visser said in an inter- view. “That’s significant when you look at the boards’ overall budget.” The Province provided enough funding for a roughly two per cent salary increase this year. But, Mr. Visser’s report states much of this year’s compensation funding will be used to annualize pay increases negotiated earlier, leaving just 0.39 per cent for raises in the coming year’s agree- ments. He says the gap between what it should be getting to pay employ- ees and what it actually receives is about $9 mil- lion. In the second budget draft, released Monday, staff is recommending that trustees use $620,000 to balance the budget, money taken from the re- serve for working funds. The board is also short roughly $1.4 million to pay its utility bills for the coming year, and about $465,000 in special educa- tion funding since, like other boards, it has not yet received its full allo- cation from the Province. Mr. Visser states that much of the money to be taken from reserves “rep- resents debenture pay- ments for obligations which were undertaken in the 1999/00 and 2000/01 school years.” Staff recommends that trustees approve $6.2 mil- lion from the pupil ac- commodation reserve fund. Board faces staff salary challenges ✦ Board from page 1 The short end of the funding stick Board suggestion to cut Pickering High work a bad sign for school If it wasn't the last straw, it very well should have been. As Durham District School Board trustees debated recent- ly about whether to split two Scugog schools sharing a chief custodian, the talk turned to where the necessary money to fund the move could be found. The recommendation from board facilities staff was to remove the gym floor refinishing project scheduled for Pickering High School from the budget. Now, if any school in the Durham board has stated its case for much needed improvements, it would be Pickering High. Staff, students and parents have campaigned vigorously over the past few years to raise awareness for some of the problems. We 've heard about problems with the cafeteria, with ventila- tion , and all-around deterioration of the facility in general. The list has been extensive, the arguments quite convincing. Yet, when it comes to finding savings for a custodial problem, the first place to look is at cutting the Pickering High project? The frustration is understandable. While this work won't even begin to address the problems, it's an important start for the school nonetheless. Truth be told, it may not even be cost efficient to fix every- thing that needs to be done at Pickering High. If that is the case, fine, but then trustees must get moving with a plan to build anew. In the context of the board's $4 million-plus main- tenance budget and hundreds of requests for improvements, there isn't enough money to meet everyone's needs. But pushing the problems at Pickering High off any longer isn't going to solve the issue. And thousands of students over the years have gone through the school, making due with what has become a substandard facility. For once, let's put this facility at the forefront and make it the priority, as opposed to the first option for budget cuts. Incoming student trustee Amanda Canavan pointed out at a recent school board meeting the money earmarked for gym f loor refinishing could be better spent elsewhere in the school. Board Chairwoman Elizabeth Roy told the student representa- tive the board is listening to her concerns. But listening and taking action are two very different things. Let's see a realistic plan brought forward to begin addressing the school's needs. Canadian voters lacked courage To the editor: Children are afraid of change. Mostly, I think, it is because they cannot see that in order to improve, you must be willing to leave something less benefi- cial behind. To a child, the future is a place of fear, uncertainty and doubt. Sometimes, adults act like this too. But for adults, it is less about actual fear of change than it is about inertia. We addict ourselves to all we hold most dear, our loves, our fears, even our hatreds. We willingly accept as fact any detail, information, even innuendo, that sup- ports our addiction, no matter how out- rageous or unfounded. "Better the devil we know" - became a truism amongst voters across this country. What bleaker picture could we possi- bly paint of ourselves than when we substitute such hopeless submission for thoughtful courage? They say you get the government you deserve. Sadly, a lot of reasonable, in- sightful people are now saddled with a devil of a government that, surely, no one deserves.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 2, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Is it just my imagination, or are teens in this area flocking to universities south of the border in record numbers? It's no mirage. This spring and summer, there's been a literal ex- plosion in the ranks of Ajax and Pickering athletes who have signed to play sports at the highest levels of U.S. collegiate sports. This phenomenon has manifest- ed itself on the News Advertiser's sports pages. There has been a lot of ink spilled on the exploits of local athletes who've earned a free education, while playing sports at the highest level in the world. And these are not kids shuffling off to obscure college teams, play- ing against other schools you've never heard of. That's far from fact. Many of the kids are heading to big-name schools that compete in many of the NCAA Division I power conferences, including the Big Ten, Hockey East and the Big East, to name a few. It speaks volumes of the sheer athletic talent, not to mention the academic abilities of local teens. It confirms that the high school and club-level sports played in Durham Region can stack up against com- parable youth leagues anywhere in Canada or the U.S. The fact so many kids are offered scholarships shows clearly that collegiate recruiters have tapped into a gold mine of sporting talent within Ajax and Pickering. Among those heading off to U.S. colleges this fall: • Pickering swimmers and best friends Warren Barnes and Kurtis Miller will attend the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Hawaii, respectively; • Ajax defenceman Michael Kostka will suit up with the Uni- versity of Massachusetts Amherst Minutemen; • Pickering tennis player Irfan Shamasdin will attend the Univer- sity of Maryland-Baltimore Coun- ty; • Pickering volleyball player Kelly Verboom signed on with the Nor thern Arizona University Lum- berjacks; • Pickering's Britney Chandler is headed to Storrs, Connecticut to join the University of Connecticut Huskies women's hockey team. Pickering's Nicole Ruta will play hockey for the Ivy League's Dart- mouth College; • Ajax's Dan Lefort will be man- ning the blue-line with the Quinnip- iac University Bobcats men's hock- ey team of Hamden, Connecticut. The strong local presence at U.S. universities this fall may be a blip on the radar screen -- a bumper crop, if you will. But, I think not. This area is destined to produce a deep pool of athletic talent in the years ahead. Al Rivett's column appears every third Friday. E-mail arivett @durhamregion.com.

Survey shows Canadians exaggerate their intentions DURHAM – A recent survey showed Canadians have a high opinion of themselves when it comes to blood donation. The Ispos-Reid survey, conduct- ed on behalf of Canadian Blood Ser- vices, shows Canadians exaggerate their intentions to donate blood, and overestimate the number of blood donors in the country. Nearly 30 out of every 100 eligible Canadi- ans, or 28 per cent, say they will do- nate blood in the next year, while only 3.7 per cent actually do. “This reality gap is a reminder that Canada’s blood system relies far too heavily on a small number of Canadians to meet the demand for blood,” said Dr. Graham Sher, chief executive officer of Canadian Blood Services. “Since it is estimated that the majority of us will need blood dur- ing our lifetime it is unrealistic to expect so few to carry such a heavy load. Good intentions don’t save lives.” Dianne Darch, a Charge Technol- ogist in the blood transfusion lab at Lakeridge Health in Oshawa said it is more difficult to access blood products during summer months because donations drop. She added more people are out on highways during summer heading toward va- cation destinations, and at in- creased risk of becoming involved in an accident requiring a transfusion. “The need is going to go up,” she said. “Those requiring blood products include surgery and trauma pa- tients and those undergoing chemotherapy.” She said those undergoing chemotherapy are often weak and anemic, and need the red cells and platelets found in blood products. Canada falls behind many other industrialized nations when it comes to donating blood. Approxi- mately 5 per cent of the populations of Ireland, Japan and the United States support their blood systems by donating. Citizens of Taiwan do- nate at a rate almost double that of Canada, with 7.5 per cent partici- pating. The Ispos-Reid survey was con- ducted from May 28 to May 30 in- cluding all provinces and territories except Quebec. Canadian Blood Services is a na- tional, not for profit charitable or- ganization managing the blood sup- ply of all provinces and territories, with the exception of the province of Quebec and the unrelated Bone Marrow Donor Registry. There are more than 15,000 donor clinics held annually, 42 permanent collection sites. For clinic hours, locations and ap- pointment information, call 1-888 2 DONATE (1-888-263-6283).

From Pickering headed to Dominica PICKERING – Dominica residents benefited from a large donation from the Arms of Jesus Children’s Mission. The mission, based in Pickering, partnered with Firm Faith Min- istries in Dominica to provide school furniture and supplies, relief goods, new shoes and socks, toys, and medical equipment for the peo- ple of the mountainous island in the We st Indies. Dynamic Fuel Systems of Picker- ing helped as well, offering trucks and trailers for collection of the do- nations. A volunteer helps load a crate of dona- tions headed for Dominica after the Pickering-based Arms of Jesus Chil- dren’s Mission organized a drive to col- lect items in need. YWCA camps offer fun for kids DURHAM – For the 2 1/2-year-old toddler to sophisticated teens of 17, the YWCA of Durham offers a variety of summer day camp experiences.

DURHAM -The public school board’s student trustees said their goodbyes last week – and what a farewell it was. Oshawa stu- dent Liam Mooney and Pickering pupil Carolyn Arbuckle finished their term as Durham Dis- trict School Board student trustees, and the June 21 board meeting was their last. Mr. Mooney offered personal thanks and re- marks to individual trustees and board staff mem- bers, taking about 25 uninterrupted minutes to ad- dress roughly 25 people. The Dr. F.J. Donevan Colle- giate Institute stu- dent, known for his boundless en- thusiasm, de- scribed himself as “a crazy, go, go, go, let’s take over the world, let’s meet the prime minis- ter kind of guy.” Ms. Arbuckle said being a student trustee changed her forever. “I’ve just taken so much away from this experience,” she said. “This has really given me a whole new direc- tion in my life.” The student trustees spearhead- ed a youth segment on CHEX-TV, among other accomplishments, with the goal of bringing student issues to the forefront and improving communi- cation between pupils across Durham. Both are returning to the local high school system this fall. A fine-tuning of its mission DURHAM – The public school board has amended its mission state- ment. Trustees approved the Durham District School Board’s strategic plan, Durham Directions, at the June 21 board meeting. The process took up most of the school year, as the board held public input meetings throughout the region in May, a move called for by board chairman Elizabeth Roy. The board’s motto, ‘Quality Educa- tion Today, for Tomorrow,’ remains the same. However the mission state- ment, ‘Students will be prepared to embrace challenges and inspired to create opportunities for their futures,’ is shorter than the previous state- ment, which in addition to that sen- tence continued, ‘in a complex and dy- namic society.’ “The feeling was it was a bit re- dundant,” said board spokesman An- drea Pidwerbecki. Durham Directions covers the 2004-2009 time frame, after which an- other review is expected. The strate- gic plan is available on the board’s Web site at www.durham.edu.on.ca. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 2, 2004 PAGE 13 A/P www.oshawacentre.com Sidewalk Sale Jamboree Monday,July 5th to Sunday,July 11th For once clowning around can save you money.

However, member Peter Dickson reports a generous donation has meant kids will still be fishing this summer. Reeling club reels in generous donor Stolen rods replaced almost immediately after theft PICKERING – Thanks to one man’s generosity, Durham kids still have a chance to learn how to fish. The Pickering Rod and Gun Club had 73 fishing rods stolen from its locked storage facility near the Scarbor- ough/Pickering border earlier this month. However, almost immedi- ately after the theft, Walter Oster, chairman of the Cana- dian National Sportsmen’s Shows, donated 75 rods to the club. Club member Peter Dick- son said there were other items in the facility, but only two containers of fishing rods were taken. “My first thought was there would be a bunch of kids who wouldn’t be able to use those rods now,” Mr. Dickson said. The spin cast rod and reel outfits were used by under- privileged children in Os- hawa, as well as for the fami- ly fishing day in Pickering in July that is held to get chil- dren interested in angling. The stolen rods were val- ued at $2,000. “He is quite a supporter of kids and fishing,” Mr. Dick- son said of Mr. Oster. Stolen were 15 Zebco Model 2020 reels, 15 with Berkley QRS 200 reels, and 43 with Johnson QRS reels. All have fluorescent orange paint sprayed somewhere on the rod. Anyone who sees the rods or has any information is asked to call Durham Re- gional Police at 905-683-9100 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-TIPS. An award-winning news team!

Sergeant Jim Muscat said To ronto police were called around 5 p.m. with a report of a man pointing a gun during a confrontation at Donwood Plaza in Don Mills. Information provided to po- lice led officers to believe the suspect was a Durham resident. Police here were contacted and warned to keep an eye out for him. Around 8 p.m. Monday Durham officers encountered the suspect near a Fairport Road address. He was arrested at gunpoint. Charged with pointing a firearm, possession of a danger- ous weapon, assault, threaten- ing death, and possession of drugs for the purpose of traffick- ing is Brian Obeyesekere, 22, of Pickering. Vandals hit dealership vehicles AJAX – A vandalism spree at an Ajax auto dealership has caused an estimated $48,000 in damage, according to Durham Regional Police. Police said that vandals struck overnight Monday, June 7 at the Bob Myers Chevrolet dealership on Bayly Street, using a sharp ob- ject to scratch paint on 24 vehi- cles. The damage, discovered the next morning, will cost about $2,000 per vehicle to repair, police said. Vandals struck and wreaked considerable damage despite the fact the lot is well lit, police said. Anyone with information about the mischief is asked to call police at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2544, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Naheed Dosani has compiled stellar marks and leadership credentials By Jane McDonald Staff Writer DURHAM – One hundred years ago, Winston Churchill called Naheed Dosani’s ancestral home- land “the pearl of Africa.” “Now it is known as the ruby of Africa,” says the 19-year-old. “Because of all the bloodshed.” Born of Ugandan refugee parents, the stu- dent, who is bound for Durham’s University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology in September 2004, understands how impor- tant education can be. When Mr. Dosani’s par- ents came to Canada 32 years ago, they didn’t have much in the way of mater- ial wealth. But their son has inherited their strong work ethic and their dream of a better life. “My mom worked late hours in a factory, and all during the day,” says Mr. Dosani. “She wouldn’t see daylight for weeks. My dad had two jobs, one at a factory making Bauer skates and another at a really, really, rundown bakery. But they both knew education was the key.” His parents scraped enough of their hard- earned money together for both of them to study at Sir Wilfred Laurier Uni- versity. They each gradu- ated and are now fully ac- credited chartered ac- countants. “My dad works at Gen- eral Motors (of Canada) in Oshawa and my mother at Timex (Canada Inc.) in Markham,” says a proud Mr. Dosani. But the young student will no doubt re- turn that sense of pride to his parents when he grad- uates from UOIT four years from now. As a mat- ter of fact, his folks are probably already pretty impressed by the fact their son is financing his next few years of study on his own. Mr. and Mrs. Dosani’s only child has won a total of $111,000 in scholarships as he graduates from high school. “Would you like me to break down that amount for you?” he po- litely asks. The young man doesn’t miss a beat, providing the exact figures and precise names of the organiza- tions and businesses that have recognized him. TD Canada Trust Scholar- ships for Community Leadership starts off the list at $60,000. Then there is the UOIT Chancellor’s Scholarship at $28,000, an award for a first-year stu- dent at Canada’s newest university that is based on superior academic achievement and demon- strated leadership quali- ties. Next is the $20,000 from the Canada Millennium Scholarships Foundation excellence awards, which recognizes community in- volvement, demonstrated leadership abilities, innov- ative thinking and acade- mic achievement. Wendy’s Classic Achiever Scholar- ship Program for 2003- 2004 has awarded Mr. Dosoni $2,000 and a spot in one of the restaurant chain’s television commer- cials, while two $500 awards from the Canadian Merit Scholarship Fund and The Toronto Star put the student into the $100,000 club. You might say, this young man’s got it made. But there’s always a catch with such bounty. The TD prize rules are such that only $5,000 over and above its top $60,000 award can be received in scholarships. Not a prob- lem. Mr. Dosani has it all figured out. He’ll keep the largest amount by accept- ing only some of the small- er amounts of money. As for the UOIT Chancellor’s scholarship, Mr. Dosani is using it to leave his mark on his new school before he even attends his first class. “I’m donating $28,000 to UOIT to create a scholar- ship in my name,” he says, quite happily. “We’re still working on the details, but it will have to do with leadership and personal achievement.” Mr. Dosani looks for- ward to attending UOIT in September and says he chose the school because of its size. “I really do enjoy a smaller school atmos- phere,” he explains. Some of the reasons UOIT wants Mr. Dosani as a student go beyond his stellar academic record at the Dr. Norman Bethune Collegiate Institute in Scarborough. He founded a school radio station there to encourage stu- dent leadership and deter lateness and absenteeism. As well, following the events of Sept. 11, he helped educate students about Islam to curb nega- tive perceptions about Muslims. He then launched a coin drive in aid of Afghani or- phans within his high school and four elemen- tary schools. Mr. Dosani also organized numerous charitable events, includ- ing food drives and a blue- ribbon campaign to thank health-care workers dur- ing the SARS crisis. He did all this while earning top marks and serving as vice-president of the stu- dent council and editor of the school newspaper. He also played basketball, touch football and floor hockey. He has lived in Scarbor- ough with his parents all his life. In September, he will move to Oshawa, where he intends to live in residence at UOIT’s South Village. But he says he’ll hitch a ride with his dad every Friday night to spend the weekend at home. Professionally, Mr. Dosani’s goal is to eventu- ally study medicine. UOIT’s Faculty of Science offers him a good start in his field of interest: the Bi- ological Science program of pharmaceutical biotechnology, which will enable him to earn a Bachelor of Science hon- ours degree in 2008. “My No. 1 plan is to work with an organization like Doctors Without Bor- ders,” he says. “I might go back to my roots, to Congo or Sierra Leone and help people who are suffering. At UOIT, I will get the background I need. “Giving is a win-win sit- uation. When you give,” he continues, “you get back. It may not happen right away ... but when I worked on the food banks and the orphanage in Afghanistan, it was soulful, so much better than getting a 90 in class. The rush I get from helping is so much greater.” Pearls of wisdom from UOIT’s $111,000 scholarship man Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo Naheed Dosani knows a thing or two about academic success. The high school graduate has accumulated more than $111,000 in scholarships, which he will begin applying to his post-secondary studies this fall at Durham’s University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 2, 2004 PAGE 17 P CANADIAN TIRE PICKERING ONLY 1735 Pickering Parkway (at Brock Road), Pickering • 905-686-2308 $3999 Reg. $99.99 SOCKET & TOOL SET Jobmate 280 pieces Many more unadvertised specials available instore.

DURHAM – Three area residents and one organization received awards from the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council recent- ly in recognition of outstanding contributions to fire protection and prevention in Ontario. “A ll of the award recipients have displayed extraordinary commitment and dedication to keeping their communities safe from fire,” said Fire Marshal Bernard Moyle. “Needless deaths, injuries and property damage have undoubtedly been avoided because of the efforts of these in- dividuals and organizations.” Fire departments throughout the province nominated individu- als and organizations for this year’s awards, and 15 recipients were selected. The awards first started in 1988 and this year were presented at a luncheon ceremo- ny at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto. The youngest recipient of an award was Shannon Clarke, 10, of Whitby. Hers is an action award, an honour especially for children under the age of 16 who took ap- propriate action to prevent or minimize a potentially dangerous situation. When Shannon awoke at 2 a.m. Oct. 19, she smelled smoke. She saw the electric baseboard heater in her bedroom was on fire and immediately woke her 5- and 6- year-old cousins and led them to the hallway outside the apart- ment. She then returned to the apartment and woke her mother and sister. Everyone left the apartment and called 911 from a neighbour’s home. Thanks to Shannon’s quick thinking and fire safety knowledge, the family es- caped unharmed. Kenisha Williams, 11, also from Whitby, was also presented with an action award. She was doing her homework on the afternoon of June 2, 2003, when she heard crackling and popping noises. She went to the front door to in- vestigate and saw what appeared to be a fog coming from the garage. Kenisha climbed the stairs to the second floor where her father and 16-month-old brother were sleeping in a bedroom. When she got to the top of the stairs she could see through a window that the garage was on fire. She woke her father and brother, and all three escaped from the home. When firefighters arrived, the fire had spread from the garage to the second floor of the house where Kenisha’s father and brother had been sleeping. Ken- isha’s quick actions probably saved the lives of her father and brother. Advocate Awards are given by the fire marshal to people who have provided time, expertise or resources to promote fire safety in the community. George Vice of Newcastle is one such man. The driving force in securing funding through the Bowmanville Rotary Club to purchase a new fire safety house for Clarington Emergency and Fire Services, Mr. Vice personally donated a signifi- cant amount of his own money to ensure the success of the project. It is estimated that more than 10 ,000 people pass through the fire safety house each year. A Partner Award was present- ed to Durham Radio Inc. for part- nering with Ajax Fire and Emer- gency Services by broadcasting safety messages.

DURHAM –It will be anoth- er busy year for Pierre Hinse, as the University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology continues to estab- lish itself in Durham Re- gion. Re-elected this March as the student representative on the University board of governors, Mr. Hinse will continue to make sure funding for construction is being secured. “We have three new buildings being built here at the university,” ex- plained Mr. Hinse. “I’m going to keep an eye out for building four. It’s an engi- neering building and it’s critical to the operation of a technical university.” As their voice at board level, Mr. Hinse addresses the concerns of fellow stu- dents including the issue of laptop fees and interfacing between professors and students. “Students come to me because they know that I’m active and that I’m willing to talk to professors,” said Mr. Hinse. “But I have found that few students really under- stand how a university is governed.” As a student, a husband and a father, Mr. Hinse said that he finds it difficult to balance all his duties. “My program has a very intensive workload,” he said. “I have very little time for social activities. In mid- winter, even sleep becomes a luxury.” A graduate of Cambrian College’s Electronics Tech- nology program, Mr. Hinse sat on the council of the Ontario Association of Cer- tified Engineering Techni- cians and Technologists for three years. When the position for student representative on the Board of Governors opened up, Mr. Hinse knew that he was suited for the role because of his past ex- perience. “I’m aware of how boards and committees operate,” he said. “I believe that I can fulfil my duties here for next year.” Student board member balances busy life www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 2, 2004 PAGE 19 A/P IS YOUR CARRIER A SHINING STAR?

Tickets are available at the door and are $11 for members and $13 for non- members. Visit a Web site at www.opfa.net. By Alexis Sciuk Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING –The Statton family’s love for cars is un- deniable, but that’s where the similarity ends. When it comes to picking a favourite car, the family is divided. Grandpa Bruce prefers a 19 65 Fo rd XL 500 Galaxie that he can cruise around town in, but his daughter Debbie prefers a BMW - any BMW just so long as it is new. “He’s always had old cars, ever since I was young,” said Ms. Statton. “I think it’s fun for him to have a hobby and meet a bunch of guys who all have a pas- sion for old cars and to see them all on the road at the same time.” For Mr. Statton, travel- ling to car shows is one of his favourite pastimes. “I owned a 1929 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery Stovall 6 and you go to car shows and people are running up the back of you to get by cause you couldn’t go down the highway fast enough,” said Mr. Statton. “So with this car here I can go to shows all over the place without trailering it.” At this car show Mr. Stat- ton sat in his lawn chair front and centre at the Pickering Museum Village. A real character, Mr. Statton also had a child-like doll, with long blonde spiral curls leaning up against the bumper of his car. She was dressed all in plaid and had her head in her arms lean- ing on the car as though she were crying. “It is a real conversation piece,” said Mr. Statton. “My wife bought her for me so when she doesn’t come to car shows I can put [the doll] in the front seat.” Mr. Statton, eager to show off the bells and whis- tles of his car rather than the car itself quickly demonstrated the car’s horn. As to be expected the car didn’t have a normal sounding horn. It played a variety of jingles and emit- ted a multitude of sounds, which caught the attention of everyone walking within a 50-foot radius. His granddaughter Elysha was also in atten- dance and vouched that her grandfather was a joker. “He’s a real funny guy,” said Elysha. “He is the humour of our family.” Elysha also admitted that she likes cars but, much like her mother, she would prefer a newer car to an older one. “I like new cars but it is fun to look at the old ones,” said Elysha. “My grandpa’s car is my favourite here but I like the Acura Integra.” Jamie Crosmas is an edu- cation instructor at the mu- seum and counted 45 cars on display. “They are spread out all over the village and so it’s a great event for car enthusi- asts but also for history en- thusiasts because we have the buildings open as well,” said Mr. Crosmas who ad- mitted to being in awe of some of the cars. “I have a favourite cor- ner,” said Mr. Crosmas who couldn’t narrow it down to just one. “There was an MG and an old Bentley and a Buick Riviera.” FRIDAY, JULY 2 ADDICTION: The Serenity Group 12-step recovery program meets at 8 p.m. at Bayfair Bap- tist Church, 817 Kingston Rd., Pickering.

When Wayne is kidnapped by an ordinary man, Arnold Mack, and held for ran- som in a remote forest, the cou- ple's world is turned inside out. Eileen finds her home full of FBI Agents, their life under scrutiny. While Wayne is engaged in the negotiation of his lifetime, Eileen works frantically with the FBI to secure his release.

FOR FULL MOVIE LISTINGS, CLICK ON durhamregion.com Pickering teen dances for the heart of America By Jeff Hayward Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING –A Pickering boy is looking to dance his way into the hearts of America. Taylor Roper, the current Mr. Teen Dance of Canada for Chap- ter 38, is taking his love for dance to New York City to compete for the Mr. Teen Dance of America title on July 7. His love for dance has grown since he started at age six. "I love to perform in front of people," said the 15-year-old, adding his family started him in gymnastics, which helped condi- tion him physically for dance. He has been trained in a vari- ety of dance techniques over the years, including tap, ballet, jazz, acro, and lyrical. The latter has become his favourite. "It allows me to be more cre- ative, and explore emotions," he said, describing lyrical as a freestyle combination of different techniques. Tammy Roberts, who owns the Durham Dance Centre in Picker- ing, has been instructing Mr. Roper for about seven years. She said her student has come a long way. "He's technically very sound," she said, adding he has devel- oped his routines. "He's really im- proved on his performance." She is also the president of the Canadian Chapter 38 of Dance Masters of America (DMA), which organizes the competi- tions. DMA is made up of certi- fied dance instructors, aiming to improve the art and how it is taught. Ms. Roberts is heading down to the U.S. competition to represent her students. Mr. Roper, who also took the title of Teen Mister Can-Dance 2003 in Montreal, is excited about showing his stuff to the American audience. "I'm not sure who I'm compet- ing against, but I know they're the best," he said, adding he has big plans for himself for the fu- ture. "I want to maybe dance on a cruise ship, or be in a movie," he explained. He is also interested in opening his own dance studio.

And, that's why the senior swimmer with the Ajax Aquatic Club is headed for Clemson Uni- versity in South Carolina this fall on a four-year athletic schol- arship. "I was talking to four other universities, but with Clemson, I just really fit in better there. It looks like they'll have a good swim team next year. The coach is really nice and they treated me very well. And, it's South Carolina, so it's really warm," says the 17-year-old. Ackroyd follows older brother Devon, 21, to the U.S. on a swim- ming scholarship. His brother just completed his sophomore season as part of the University of Syracuse Orangemen swim team in New York State. He tested the waters at such universities as Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Indiana and Purdue before deciding to dive head- long into the offer put forward by Clemson. Ackroyd's impressed, too, with the calibre of the Clemson Tigers swim team, which fin- ished third in an ultra-competi- tive Atlantic Coast Conference this year. The conference in- cludes such athletic heavy- weights as Duke University, the University of Virginia, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Maryland, Wake Forest and Georgia Tech, to name a few. The ACC, says Ackroyd, is also known as a conference where athletics doesn't over- shadow academics. "That's their nature -- in being great at both," says the Grade 12 g raduate of Dunbarton High School. Ackroyd admits his three- year association with the Ajax Aquatic Club played a large role in his ability to impress athletic recruiters at the large American universities. He credits head coach Trent McNicol with giv- ing him good guidance in rela- tion to his college career. "Trent knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to uni- versities," says Ackroyd. "He knows what to do, what to say, what not to say." McNicol says he believes his young protégé will thrive in the Clemson program, which is loaded with talented backstro- kers, Ackroyd's specialty. "I am glad to see that Colin has found a program that fits his needs," says McNicol, who is a graduate of the University of Maryland Terapins swim pro- g ram. "Clemson has made a strong commitment to improv- ing themselves and has some of the best backstrokers in the country for Colin to train with." As far as Ackroyd's ability to handle the competition and pressure served up by top-flight collegiate competition, McNicol has high hopes. "The ACC has become a very powerful swimming conference over the past few years. Colin's ability to excel under pressure should help him rise through the ranks of collegiate swim- ming. I expect to see Colin per- forming at the NCAA champi- onship within two years," he says. Ackroyd says the experience of training under McNicol at the Ajax Aquatic Club is one he wouldn't trade. "The whole experience has been a lot of fun," he says. "Ajax is like a family there. Everyone likes to come back. Trent makes it feel like a home there." This summer is shaping into a busy one for Ackroyd. In two weeks, he'll join other top swim- mers in Canada at the Canadi- an Olympic Trials at the Etobi- coke Olympium Pool in Toron- to. He'll swim four events - the 100 and 200-metre backstroke, the 200m butterfly and the 200m individual medley. Ackroyd admits he's a long shot to make it on the Olympic team in any of his events. More realistically, he hopes to finish in the top 10 in all his races. He's gearing his big break- through in time for the 2008 Olympic trials. At that time, he will have finished his education at Clemson. "I'll graduate from university in April of 2008, so I'll have four months to get ready for the tri- als, so it works out well," he says. Ackroyd has been competing on the national stage for several years. His best effort came at last year's junior nationals in Halifax where he finished fourth in the 200m back and fifth in the 200m fly and 200m IM. Following trials, he'll be com- peting for the Ajax club at the club nationals in Winnipeg in Aug ust. He'll attempt to make it on to the Canadian swim team to compete in January at the Junior Pan Pacific meet in Hawaii. Ackroyd won't be the only Canadian on the Clemson swim team. Incoming freshman Eliza- beth Day also signed a letter of intent to swim for the Tigers. He'll start his training almost immediately after starting at the university on Aug. 20. The first meet of the season is at Florida State University in Tal- lahassee on Sept. 27. Spartans generate tourney victory AJAX —The Ajax Spartans On- tario Power Generation major bantam select baseball team left no doubt about the outcome after demolishing the host team in the final of the Brampton Minor Base- ball Tournament on June 25 to 27. The Spartans built a comfort- able 11-0 lead before giving up Brampton's lone run in the last in- ning for an emphatic 11-1 victory in a five-inning championship con- test, shortened because of the 10- run mercy rule. A lead-off triple by Riley Whalen, followed by singles by Travis Rogers, Zak Hunter, Tim Chamberlain and Justin Sek- ouledes allowed Ajax to jump out to 4-0 lead. In the third inning, Rogers, Mike Hindmarsh and Hunter pushed two more runs across the plate to stretch the lead to 6-0. In the fourth, Steve Adams and Mike Seeley combined to bring across another run and give Ajax a 7-0 lead. Four singles in a row from Rogers, Hindmarsh, Hunter and Adam Tedesco and a triple from Chamberlain allowed Ajax to tally four more runs to close out the scoring. Pitcher Mike Seeley completed a four-inning shutout. Whelan came on to close out the victory, surrendering one run. Infielder Tedesco led the Ajacians with strong defensive play in the final. Ajax advanced to the title game with a 3-1 victory over Pickering in the semifinals. The game was a de- fensive battle until the top of the fourth inning when Ajax pushed three runs across the plate. Pitch- er Chamberlain earned the victo- ry, with Whelan coming on in relief. The OPG peewees started the tourney with a come-from-behind 9-8 win over Kitchener. Ajax scored four runs, including the winning run, in the bottom of the seventh inning. A lead-off single by Ryan Joseph and a triple by Ben- jamin Brant touched off the rally. Riley Whelan and Tim Chamber- lain then executed back-to-back bunt singles to set up Mike Hind- marsh's game-winning double. Hindmarsh provided strong starting pitching, registering seven strikeouts. Chamberlain worked in relief. The Ajacians lost Game 2 to Brampton 7-3, despite strong pitching by Seeley and Whelan, who combined for 16 strikeouts. In a must-win situation in Game 3, the Ajacians scored a 5-0 victory over Royal York. Hunter delivered a strong starting pitching effort, with Hindmarsh nailing down the shutout in relief. Carl Ferencz/ News Advertiser photo Pickering resident and Ajax Aquatic Club member Colin Ackroyd will compete for the Clemson University Tigers swim team in South Carolina. Solid acade- mics, an up-and-coming swim team and, of course, the warm weather were a few factors that went into his decision to go there.

Find out deadlines, writing and photo requirements, delivery requirements ie: email, who to contact when the editor is not available. TOOLS: Keep a program of your important events so you can plan well ahead. Keep copies of your original press releases and compare them to what is put in print in case you need to adjust your style. Keep a scrap- book of the published works and photos so you can avoid monotony of coverage, but also plan for future projects. IS IT NEWS?: Ask yourself if the story will be worthy to share with others in the community. Contact the editor and let him/her judge the worthiness of the story. SENDING A P R E S S R E L E A S E A press release should: * Contain five main points: WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY * Be brief and to the point. Almost any news release can be written within one double- spaced, type-written page. * Always give exact dates (“Oct. 10” instead of “tomorrow”) and double-check dates be- fore including them. * Be exact. Give street numbers in addresses; people new to town or visiting may not know the building or area of town. * If you are requesting a story run announc- ing an upcoming event, plan well in advance to have the information to the paper at least 10 days in advance of the event. * Include your name and telephone number on the release should we require further infor- mation. * Don’t be afraid to suggest something new. We welcome original ideas when they’re prac- tical and organized. PHOTO REQUESTS The two most important factors that deter- mine whether we will attend your special event are: 1. Newsworthiness of the event A photo opportunity is newsworthy if it will be of interest to an audience beyond your group. 2. Schedules As you can imagine, our photographers are in high demand. The sooner you let us know about your event, the better the chance we will have room in our schedule to attend. Make Your Request A Success * Call early (two weeks in advance is best) * Be prepared with details that help us deter- mine whether the photo opportunity is news- worthy. * We need to know the Who, What, When, Where and Why of the event. * If we are sending a photographer, be ready when he or she arrives. Follow the photogra- pher’s instructions on composition and make sure you provide the proper information on names and titles. Provide a telephone number in the event we are delayed (breaking news may force us to miss a scheduled photo shoot). Can we submit our own photo? Absolutely! If we can’t make it you’re wel- come to take a photo and send it to us. If you plan to do this keep these pointers in mind: * We accept colour or black & white photos, or you can email digital images to us. We do not accept photocopies. * Editors prefer ACTION photos. If you have eight people don’t line them up eight across, mix and match sitting and standing to maxi- mize interest. * Be sure to include a concise caption that covers all of the 5 Ws. * Include your name and telephone number should we have questions. * Due to space constraints, we can not guar- antee the photo will appear in the newspaper.

KEARNS March 25, 1982 ~ July 5, 2003 It only takes a little space To write how much we miss you But it will take the rest of our lives To forget the day we lost you There is no time to say goodbye The day you went away You left us so suddenly 1 year ago today It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone A part of us went with you The day God took you home So many times we think of you So many times we've cried If our love could have saved you You never would have died Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartache When someone speaks your name Our family circle has been broken A link gone from our chain Although we've cried a lot of tears We know we'll meet again.
