Get in touch with nature North York woman dead, baby in serious condition By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer PICKERING –A North York woman is dead and her infant child is in serious condition in hospital after a collision in- volving a suspected drunk dri- ver Saturday evening. A North Bay man, whose charges include impaired dri- ving causing death, made a brief appearance by video in bail court Monday morning and was remanded in custody at the Lindsay jail until Fri- day. The Crown has indicated it will contest the man’s re- lease on bail. Durham Regional Police re- sponded to a serious collision at the intersection of Twyn Rivers Drive and Woodview Anger in the streets Anti-abortion protest in Pickering By Danielle Milley and David Stell Staff Writers PICKERING – Dozens of area residents were disturbed and upset by the tactics used by anti-abortion protestors in Pickering Tuesday. About 20 people from Show the Truth Canada staged an orderly protest in Pickering at Liverpool and Kingston roads around lunchtime. Later in the after- noon a few of the protestors travelled to Ajax to continue the protest at Salem and Kingston roads. They carried large posters that graphically depicted dead fetuses. The City of Pickering, Durham Regional Police and the News Adver- tiser received several calls from people disturbed by the signs. “I was greatly disgusted by the pictures as was my son,” said Vida Rivelsrud, who drove by the intersection with her 14-year-old son. “It is very offensive to seniors and children - to everybody.” Durham Regional Police Sergeant Paul Malik said the protestors have the right to express their opinion. “We’ve been following it up, but there’s nothing criminal there,” he said. He added police investigat- ed the protest after receiving several complaints. Group spokeswoman Rosemary Connell said the protests were part of a blitz in the area. She said group members were staying at a Whitby school last night and planned two more stops in Pickering today. When told of the com- plaints about the graphic na- ture of the images, Ms. Con- nell said, “We say we don’t Catholic trustees give approval Monday, despite two objections By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – The budget is in the books, but two Durham Catholic trustees voted against passing it Monday night. The Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board approved its 2004/05 budget at a spe- cial board meeting, planning to spend just over $200 mil- lion. And while there’s a new government at Queen’s Park, the board still faces a funding shortfall, requiring the use of roughly $9.9 mil- lion in reserve funds. Much of it will go towards paying off prior debt commitments for capital projects. However, Oshawa Trustee Fred Jones says the board should be using more re- serve money to meet system needs. “There is, in my view, too much money in the reserves that ought to be spent, and ought to be spent on a whole Reserves prop up board budget Pickering's Altona Forest trail system is open for business By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – It's now easier for Pickering residents to discover a little slice of wildlife in their own back- yard. Altona Forest's designated trail system and 37 trail markers were officially un- veiled July 7. The markers correspond with information available from the forest's We b site to guide hikers along the five-kilometre trail. "You can walk the trail and at each marker get informa- tion about the ecological heritage (of the forest)," said Mike Bender of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). "People are starting to get familiar with the forest and now they can go in on a des- ignated path without getting lost and discover their own backyard." The unique forest, which stretches from Stroud's L ane in the south to the hydro corridor in the north, is home to a variety of vege- tation and wildlife. "We have deer in the forest, coyotes, grey horned owls. We have a great stand of cedar trees and wetland with amphibians and water fowl," Mr. Bender said. The trail was a long time coming. A.J.

Trustee Jones cited special edu- cation, computer upgrades, text- books, staff development and other areas that he says could use a boost. “The question I would ask our parents... is, ‘what doesn’t your child have that he needs’,” he said. By August 2005, staff estimates there will be just over $5 million in the board’s discretionary working funds reserve. Trustee Jones noted the reserve currently contains about $6.2 mil- lion, but only about $3.5 million is necessary. Trustee Jones voted against the last three board bud- gets. In 2002, he claimed the board was using too much of its reserves, while last year he advocated spend- ing more to help improve students’ provincial test scores. Pickering Trustee Jim McCaffer- ty had other reasons for voting against the budget. He says the Province still isn’t g iving the board enough money, as per Mordechai Rozanski’s educa- tion funding report to the former Tory government. In essence, Mr. Rozanski found boards were short of money because the funding for- mula benchmarks had not been up- dated in years. “We still don’t have anything in writing to say they are going to up- date it, which is a major concern,” said Trustee McCafferty. He also rejected the idea of spending about $26,500 to upgrade trustee laptop computers, acknowl- edging it’s a small amount. Finally, Trustee McCafferty in an interview said the expected special-educa- tion funding from the Province, due any time now, has to be spent on special education. While education director Patricia Manson confirmed the money, when received, would go into the special-education reserve fund, Trustee McCafferty said there’s nothing in the budget document setting that out. Trustee Mary Ann Martin said they were her colleagues’ “personal opinions. “I think it’s a good budget.” She said she has not heard from stakeholders that there are unmet needs in the system. “Trustee Jones has a whole myri- ad of concerns and comments,” said Trustee Martin. “I don’t think we should be using more reserves; I think we should use them when needed.” David Visser, the board’s busi- ness superintendent, in his budget report notes the board is short an estimated $9 million in provincial funding for salaries, money “to be absorbed by other areas of the board’s operations.” In an interview, Mr. Visser said the money is recovered from both non-classroom and classroom funding, including the board ad- ministration and governance enve- lope. The salary shortfall will get even worse, Mr. Visser states in his re- port, since the board has to fund previously-negotiated raises, to the tune of an extra $2.2 million a year. Provincial funding accounted for a two per cent increase in contracts to be negotiated this year, giving the board about $2.8 million. But Mr. Visser states the lion’s share must be used to pay for the annual- ized increases, and as a result “es- sentially, 0.39 per cent remains to support compensation increases in any collective agreements negotiat- ed for 2004/05.” A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 14, 2004 www.durhamregion.com HOURS Mon. - Wed. 10-6 Thurs. - Fri. 10-9 Sat. 10-6 Sun. 11-4 rrs TM FINANCING ACCEPTED PHONE ORDERS ACCEPTED 40 FACTORY OUTLETS ACROSS ONTARIO INCLUDING...

Reg#4616736 www.durhamregion.com Larry Noonan, chairman of the Altona Forest Stewardship com- mittee, and committee member Doug Lockery spent a year survey- ing the existing paths and mapping out the new trail. "It's a long time to get to this point where the markers are in there and people can do it on their own," Mr. Noonan said. He also spent a lot of time re- searching the different plants, trees, flowers and animals in order to create the interpretative guide (available at www.altonaforest.org). "It's a great place to go to look at trees and wild flowers and if you're content to be quiet you might catch a glimpse of some wild animals," Mr. Noonan said. The stewardship committee pre- pared a funding proposal in April 2003 to submit to TD Canada Trust Friends of the Environment Foun- dation to pay for the markers and the kiosk at the Stroud's Lane en- trance to the trail. They received $6,695. A partial trail had previously been marked with ribbons that kept falling off. Mr. Noonan said it felt really good to see the sign and markers up so more people can now enjoy the forest. He added he hopes the increase in users has another effect. "Now with people walking it we're hoping that will discourage vandals from coming in," he said. The Altona Forest was acquired by the TRCA from 1993 to 1997 with funding support from the provin- cial government, Region of Durham and City of Pickering. It is 53 hectares and includes the J. Murray Speirs Ecological Reserve, donated by Dr. Speirs in 1996. The public is not permitted in the re- serve. All signs point to nature ✦ All from page 1 Trustees raise concerns over student needs Catholic board budget highlights DURHAM – The Durham Catholic District School Board’s 2004/05 budget includes: • $455,000 to support the enhanc- ing student success or at risk stu- dent portfolio. • $100,000 each for junior and pri- mary math projects, including re- sources and professional develop- ment. • $400,000 for changes to the Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School (Ajax) main office. • $90,000 to fix the drainage prob- lem on the St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic School (Whitby) playing f ield. • $70,000 to renovate the biology lab at Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School (Oshawa). • 13 new elementary teachers, the f irst step in reducing primary class sizes in the system. ✦ Trustees from page 1 Durham Region faces 62 per cent increase in cases by 2014 By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – A report that says can- cer cases will rise by 62 per in the next decade has shone a spotlight on Durham's critical need for the R.S. McLaughlin Cancer Centre. The report by Cancer Care On- tario says a growing and aging pop- ulation will mean Durham Region will have 3,883 new cases of cancer a year by 2014, up from 2,402 this year. Currently, there's a gaping hole in the eastern part of the Greater To ronto Area for cancer treatment. Although some chemotherapy is available locally, people have to travel to hospitals in downtown Tor onto for radiation, said Dr. Peter Dickson, vice-president of the centre. But Durham's cancer centre will be a big piece in a truly regional cancer system, he said. "The (centre) is not just an Os- hawa or Oshawa-Whitby resource, it's for everyone," he said, adding the catchment area includes Peter- borough, Haliburton and Kawartha Pine-Ridge. "We're trying to make sure all cancer needs are met no matter where you live in this re- g ion." Called the most comprehensive look yet at the state of cancer care in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), The GTA 2014 Cancer Re- port says the cancer system is characterized by "wide variations in activity, duplications, perceived gaps, uncoordinated care and the lack of consistent quality and safe- ty standards. "These problems will become more severe in the face of continu- ing demands for cancer services." Dr. Dickson agreed. "Critically, it's about coordinating care so everyone is clear on what happens next, without having to wait two or three weeks between every appointment," he said. "We want to try and provide a sense of continuity so you don't have to come back 17 times to get treat- ment." The communication system of cancer is complicated enough, Dr. Dickson said. There's the patients themselves, their family, their local doctor, di- agnostics people, surgeons, pathol- ogists and home care organiza- tions. "It's called patient-centred care, (and) it means trying very hard...so patients get the care when they need it," he said. "A key to that is communication...so that everyone who needs to know, does know." And with more communication, coordination and the centre itself will come reduced waiting times, Dr. Dickson said. On top of chemotherapy and ra- diation will be more medical and oncology staff, nurses and sur- geons. Between 100 and 200 people will work in the centre when it opens, and that will rise as the centre grows. "There is a twin goal: one is just to make it easier, to take out the uncertainty so people know what is happening next," Dr. Dickson said. "(The other) is just getting it done quicker...and just get on to treat- ment faster." And the timing of the report couldn't be better to help with those goals, he added. "(The report) is a very timely thing for the Durham Region can- cer centre," Dr. Dickson said. "It gives support to everything we've always wanted to do." – with files from TorStar News Service • Editorial – Page A6 www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 14, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P Your card will be stamped when you spend $4.00 or more (same day sales before taxes) at one or more Pickering Town Centre Food Court restaurants.

At a special joint meeting, the Durham and Durham Catholic dis- trict school boards passed a new ed- ucation development charges (EDC) bylaw. The levy is applied to housing developers and used by school boards to pay for new school sites. The boards approved the new bylaw last month, setting the EDC for each new residential unit built in Durham (excluding Clarington) from now until Aug. 31, 2009. The Durham District School Board is charging $958 per dwelling unit, down from $1,361 charged over the last five years. The Durham Catholic District School Board levy is now markedly lower, dropping al- most by half from $723 to $337. Ed Hodgins, the public board's business superintendent, explained that "a whole planning process" is undertaken to determine the amount, which involves looking at student yield from homes and land costs. The board also had some EDC funds from the previous bylaw held in trust, but Mr. Hodgins said no single factor but a combination of them accounted for the lower EDC.

Smoking OK at senior homes Region makes changes to new bylaw By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – Seniors who smoke and live in long-term care facilities can continue to do so after five munici- palities gave their consent to chang- ing the Region’s smoking bylaw. Regional council officially amend- ed bylaw 66-2002 at last Wednes- day’s council meeting. The bylaw did say smoking is banned in all public and workplaces, except racetracks, casinos and bingo halls, which can have a designated smoking room (DSR). But several councillors felt that not allowing DSRs in two Region- run nursing homes was a violation of residents’ rights. After passing at the June 16 regional council meet- ing, the amendment needed triple majority, or support from five of Durham’s eight municipalities amounting to 51 per cent of the Re- gion’s population, plus a majority of regional councillors. Clarington, Whitby, Brock, Scu- gog and Oshawa all consented to the change, while Ajax, Pickering and Uxbridge had not yet responded to the Region by Wednesday’s council meeting. Council also made an “adminis- trative change” at last month’s meeting to allow DSRs in all private- ly-run facilities in Durham after re- ceiving a legal challenge from a nursing home in Oshawa. Representatives from the Service Employee’s International Union Local 1, which represents employees at nine privately nursing homes in Durham, made a presentation to council Wednesday and stressed the importance of employees’ rights. “(The bylaw change) flies in the face of all the evidence you’re aware of with second-hand smoke,” said John VanBeek, media relations with the union. “Our workers lungs are not second rate.” Mr. VanBeek urged council to re- peal the changes made to the bylaw, but no action was taken. The same day, regional council ex- empted Great Blue Heron Charity Casino from the smoking bylaw after a debate with the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nations, who own the facility. www.durhamregion.com St. Paul’s food bank puts out plea for help PICKERING – An increase in clients has left the St. Paul’s-on-the-Hill food bank low on several important items of food. “We’re in desperate need of canned fruit, canned vegetables, and canned tuna, salmon and meat,” said Mae Herridge, a volun- teer on the food bank committee. She said the food bank is also low on canned beans, dried soup, and cake and muffin mixes. Ms. Herridge said in addition to the increase in clients, donations are also down because of the time of year. “During the summer many people go away and kind of forget about us,” she said. They are hoping to get enough do- nations to see them through to the Thanksgiving food drive. Donations can be dropped off at bins at Loblaws, Dominion, Price Chopper and Sobeys in Pickering; or Sobeys and IGA in Ajax. Project Smoke Break targeted break and enter ring By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM –A multi-jurisdictional police investigation into more than 140 break-ins and $1 million worth of stolen cigarettes has resulted in the arrest of 10 Durham Region res- idents, who face 960 charges among them. Project Smoke Break broke up a GTA-wide break and enter ring specializing in cigarette thefts, ac- cording to Durham Regional Po- lice, who teamed with Toronto cops and the Ministry of Finance to in- vestigate suspects. The 10 people rounded up in a sweep that began last Friday are believed to be re- sponsible for 144 break-ins that netted thieves an estimated $1 mil- lion worth of cigarettes, which were funnelled to the black market, po- lice said. “It was an organized criminal network of individuals involved in break-ins,” said Detective Paul Ed- wards. “It spanned the GTA.” The thefts are believed to have occurred across a wide geographic area stretching from Halton Re- g ion to Cobourg and north to Pe- terborough, he said. The “highly-organized” network fanned out across the GTA, break- ing into commercial premises and often making off with their haul of tobacco in stolen cars, police be- lieve. Officers executing search war- rants have recovered $26,000 in cash, as well as stolen cigarettes and two stolen vehicles, say police, who estimated the value of stolen property recovered at $10,000. Two men - Michael MacInnis, 38, of Fallingbrook Street in Whitby and 26-year-old Karl Thomas Knight of Taunton Road East in Bowmanville, each face hundreds of charges in connection with the investigation, police said. They are charged with: • 144 counts of break and enter; • three counts of conspiracy to commit an indictable offence; • 145 counts of possession of break and enter tools; • 144 counts of wearing a disguise while committing an indictable of- fence; • three counts of arson and three counts of endangering life; • six counts of flight from police; • 10 counts of dangerous driving, and • numerous other theft-related charges. Some of the charges relate to chases after thefts, while the arson charges were laid after stolen cars were abandoned and torched, Det. Edwards said. “There were a number of inci- dents where individuals were in- volved in high-speed pursuits,” he said. Others charged in connection with Operation Smoke Break are: • Jeremy Wayne Brown, 27, of Ortono Avenue in Oshawa, charged with three counts of conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and three counts of possession of prop- erty obtained by crime; • Tony Qaqish, 37, of Grandview Drive, Oshawa, conspiracy to com- mit an indictable offence and two counts of possession of property obtained by crime; • Philip Richardson, 32, of Chesterton Avenue in Oshawa, two counts of possession property ob- tained by crime; • Timothy Scott Dempsey, 36, of Bloor Street East in Courtice, pos- session of property obtained by crime; • Shannon Clark, 29, of Falling- brook Street in Whitby, possession of break and enter tools and con- spiracy to commit an indictable of- fence; • Michael Donald Brooks, 29, of Taunton Road in Bowmanville, two counts of possession of a prohibit- ed weapon and possession of a weapon while prohibited; • Cheryl Anne Dempsey, 36, of Bloor Street East in Courtice, pos- session of property obtained by crime, and • Jan Marie Godfrey, 26, of Os- hawa, possession of a controlled substance. All of those arrested remained in custody yesterday, with the excep- tion of Jeremy Wayne Brown. The charges may all be heard to- gether in a special bail court ses- sion, sources said. A date for such a hearing has not yet been deter- mined. want to see them either. When the baby killing stops, so will we.” She added, “I don’t apologize for the reaction, I’m thankful for it.” Lea-Alice Teschner, who lives near Liverpool and Kingston roads, was going to take her four-year-old son for a walk but a friend told her about the protestors and images. She de- cided to drive to the bank. “I drove up the street and I was just dumbfounded,” she said. “Protests are good if they’re handled in the right way, but not if they’re showing these images to children. “It was hideous, just hideous. It wasn’t as if it was a small sign, they were billboard size.” Wa rd 2 City Councillor Bill McLean said he received “at least a dozen” calls by 1:30 p.m. “I’ve heard from a few people who went out to eat their lunch and they couldn’t because of the pictures,” he said. “None of them were pro- or anti-abortion, they were just dis- turbed by the photos.” His real estate office is around the corner from the protest. He de- scribed the protestors as orderly and solemn faced. “It’s not as if they’re chanting or distracting people other than that the posters are quite large and graphic,” he said, adding he was dis- turbed by the posters. Av enue just before 7 p.m. Saturday. Police said a grey Chrysler Intrepid was southbound on Woodview Av- enue when it collided with a black Chrysler Intrepid being driven west on Twyn Rivers by a 39-year-old Alex Alexander of North York. A 36-year-old woman and a six- week-old girl in the North York man’s car sustained serious injuries, police said. Camille Catherine Alexander was taken to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, but died from her injuries. The baby, Alexia, was trans- ferred to Sick Children’s Hospital, where as of yesterday she was listed in serious but stable condition. The driver of the car was treated and re- leased. The driver of the grey Intrepid and his 44-year-old female passenger were taken to Centenary Hospital in Scar- borough for treatment of minor in- juries. Later in the evening, Durham cops arrested 37-year-old Michael Raymond Willie of Gertrude Street in Nor th Bay. He is charged with impaired dri- ving causing death; dangerous dri- ving causing death; three counts each of impaired driving causing bodily harm and dangerous driving causing bodily harm, and driving while ex- ceeding the legal blood-alcohol limit. During a brief video appearance held in Oshawa Monday morning, a subdued Mr. Willie spoke briefly with duty counsel before requesting an ad- journment to Friday. He is scheduled to appear in person then. Crown attorney Greg O’Driscoll said the Crown will be opposing Mr. Willie’s release on bail. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 14, 2004 PAGE 5 P Get the Right Tool for the Job Affordable Payments Fast Approvals One more project finished A home improvement loan from Trans Canada Credit should be the first tool you reach for.

Editorials &Opinions WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Letters to the Editor Development charges prove growth study wrong To the editor: Re: 'Development charges jumping in Pickering,' July 9. Finally, through the News Ad- ver tiser, we have the real num- bers that can be applied to the Pickering growth management study. The suggested $8,838 develop- ment charges for new homes are not enough money to cover exist- ing development costs. One of my arguments against this plan is that the infrastructure needs to be fixed first. Developers will be running all the way to the bank while council justifies the next tax increase. It's time developers paid a devel- opment fee that cannot be passed on or written off. It was also revealing that a conflict issue involving the Growth Management Study ex- ists. I brought up the issue of conflict of interest three times at public meetings. I ask, who does this council represent, the devel- opers funding the study or all taxpayers? We have a right to know who benefits from this deal and why. I can just hear council at the next municipal election "vote for us, we work for you". But, on June 29, this same council rammed growth management further down our throats to si- lence us. This deal carries a stench that would make a skunk jealous. Harvey Kirsch Pickering Province fails Pickering, again To the editor: Re: ‘Province reveals it's plans’, June 25. I think the News Advertiser missed the boat on this story. The big news is the fact that the second provincial government in a row, first the Tories and now the Liberals, have taken the City of Pickering's planning rights away. Pickering council continues to recommend and endorse the de- velopment of the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve with its Growth Management Study. The Ministry of Municipal Af- fairs and Housing Web site states "The provincial government is beginning the public process of planning for a new community for the provincially owned Seaton lands and the protection of that portion of the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve that falls within the City of Pickering." The provincial government has assembled a team of consultants to do the planning for Pickering. On the Internet, see www.mah.gov.on.ca/userfiles/HT ML/nts_1_17727_1.html for de- tails. Will it be a matchup of who has the bigger stick? And at what cost to Pickering taxpayers? Bonnie Littley Rouge Duffins Greenspace Coalition Support our health-care system To the editor: In our journey through time, the threads of many others are interwoven throughout our life's fabric. During my recent stay at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital - I had the divine good fortune of interacting with many delightful health-care providers. Everyone with whom I came in contact, treated me with the ut- most dignity and respect. All were knowledgeable, helpful and caring. Everyone showed empa- thy and support in both deed and word. Joan Alles Whitby Anniversary during difficult times a cause for reflection My wife and I just cele- brated our 18th wed- ding anniversary. We spent the day lavishly treating ourselves to a visit to the Oncol- ogy Ward in Oshawa for chemo cocktails, and later we enjoyed a romantic interlude at Sunny- brook's Radiation department. You may not think there's anything sexy about having two female lab technicians hauling your drawers down and x-raying your patootie, but some people pay big bucks for that kind of stuff. Here I was getting it for free. I didn't even have to fly to Thailand. The evening was capped off perfectly by a gourmet dinner for four (kids in tow) of burgers and fries. Does it really get any better than that? As Suzanne and I lay in bed that night, accompanied by the mechanical whirring of my newly attached chemo pump, which lay between us like some kind of high-tech chastity belt, I asked her if, 18 years ago, she'd ever thought we'd be spending our anniversary like this. She laughed, mumbled an exhaust- ed something or other, patted my pump and drifted off to a much deserved sleep. But as I lay there thinking in the dark, the events of the past 14 hours or so playing them- selves over in my head, it oc- curred to me just how nice a day it had been and how truly lucky we were to have one another. We had spent the day, as we spend most of our days these days, talking and laughing and listening to one another, sharing each other's thoughts on every- thing from bowel movements to crossword puzzles (what's a four-letter word for chemother- apy...it starts with F). I also thought about how much we touch each other dur- ing a day - a hand squeeze, a light rub on the back in passing, fingers through my hair (what's left of it), a bare foot on top of a bare foot under the breakfast table. There are a million ways to tell someone you love them, from a passionate kiss to the changing of a dressing or the draping of a warm blanket over cold feet. And finally, I thought of our children, the real fruit of those 18 years. I thought about their pa- tience and good humour throughout every one of these strange days and their simple unbridled joy over nothing more than burgers and fries in the car. They are wonderful, fine little people that I cannot ever spend too much time with. Finally, I thought about how all these pieces fit together so perfectly into the puzzle of my life. The puzzle that, day by day, piece by piece, shows me more of why I am here and what it is I am supposed to be doing. Eigh- teen years ago, I found that puz- zle almost indecipherably diffi- cult. And so, with my beautiful friend and partner snoozing be- side me, my chemo pump buzzing along like some tiny, malevolent sidekick, and my boys deeply dreaming down the hall, I found I was able to an- swer my own question. No, there is no way in heaven I could ever have foreseen being so blissfully happy 18 years ago. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Editorial In the community Need for local cancer centre never more clear Report predicts disease will strike 62 per cent more in years ahead It's exactly the kind of news that saps energy. A report by Cancer Care Ontario finds the number of cases will grow by 62 per cent over the next decade, meaning 3,883 new cases of cancer a year here in Durham in 10 years, up from the current 2,402. But, if anything, this report underscores just how im- portant the R.S. McLaughlin Cancer Centre will be to Durham Region. When construction on the centre, located next to Lak- eridge Health Oshawa, is complete in 2006, it will open the doors to arguably the single most important project to ever come Durham's way. It will mean thousands and thousands of people in the decades to come can get the important care they need close to home. It will mean they can wage these life and death battles with friends, family and other supporters nearby. That support is too often denied them by the dis- tance they must now travel for care. Simply, the McLaugh- lin centre will add some humanity and even hope to some of the darkest days anyone could experience. It's been said cancer has touched everyone in one way or another. And should the report's projections bear out, that impact is only going to intensify. So, the shovels may be in the ground for the new centre and the community fund-raising goal of $39 million ex- ceeded (we're on the way to $42 million now), but there is still much work to do. The challenge now for the foundation and cancer centre is to continue impressing upon residents the important role the centre plays and the need for ongoing donations. "We have to keep increasing and improving the quality of the equipment so we're always at a state-of-the-art po- sition," said Chuck Powers, president of the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital Foundation, adding, funds are also needed for research. The foundation will strengthen its focus fur- ther by establishing a division dedicated to the cancer side of raising funds. Consider the ongoing need for funds and support from this perspective: The centre is being built to serve a pop- ulation of about one million, while the area the centre serves likely won't reach that level until 2020 or 2025 esti- mates Mr. Powers. But an investment in technology and continued research could push that date of maximum ca- pacity back even farther. This Cancer Care report offers challenging numbers for sure. That's why this ongoing battle is one that must have Durham residents' continued support.

Ajax motorcycle racer leads rookie standings AJAX — An Ajax motorcycle racer may have stepped up to a higher calibre of competition, but he has so far been able to deliver the results. This summer, Stuart Nodell, of the Nodell Motorsports racing team, moved up to the Par ts Canada Pro Super Bike Cham- pionship national series as well as the regional racing series, both based at Shannonville Mo- torsport Park. Racing in the Pro Super Bike series aboard his ZX6-R 636 cc bike, Nodell finished third in both races at Shannonville recently. Nodell also raced in the 600 cc class aboard his ZX6-RR in the regional series, finishing fourth, on the same weekend. Nodell is currently leading the rookie of the year standings in the Parts Canada Pro Super Bike Championship. The next race for the Nodell team is at Mosport International Speedway in Clarington July 15 to 18. For more information, log on to www.nodellmotorsports.com. Panthers back in black PICKERING — The times, they are a changin' for the Pickering Panthers. The OHA Ontario Provincial Junior 'A' Hockey League team recently announced it will have a new uniform, complete with new logo and colours for the 2004-05 season. The club is returning to its former red, black and white colours, abandoning its previous blue and red colour scheme. The management team has also ap- pointed Northstar Communications Group as its marketing and event man- agement agent. The Panthers enter the season under new ownership after being sold in March by car dealer Michael Boyer to a group of Toronto businessmen headed by longtime Ontario Hockey League coach and Markham resident Rick Cornacchia. The ownership group also includes Toron- to residents Paul Fenwick and Randy Hebscher and John Porco, also of Markham. The club has also announced a nine- game pre-season schedule. The Panthers start main training camp Monday, Aug. 23 at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The first pre-season contest is against the We xford Raiders at the complex on Tues- day, Aug. 24 at 8:30 p.m. The team's final pre-season contest is against the CD Selects of the U.S.- based Empire Junior Hockey League. The Selects are from the Troy, New York area. That game is Thursday, Sept. 9 at the complex at 8:30 p.m. Other games on the exhibition schedule: • Thursday, Aug. 26, 7 p.m. vs. Streetsville Derbys at Streetsville; • Tuesday, Aug. 31, 8:30 p.m. vs. Streetsville Derbys at Pickering Recre- ation Complex; • Wednesday, Sept. 1, 8:30 p.m. vs. Lindsay Muskies at Pickering Recreation Complex; • Thursday, Sept. 2, 8 p.m. vs. Ajax Axemen at Ajax Community Centre; • Sunday, Sept. 5, 1:30 p.m. vs. Lind- say Muskies at Lindsay; • Tuesday, Sept. 7, 7:30 p.m. vs. Wex- ford Raiders at Wexford; and • Wednesday, Sept. 8, 8:30 p.m. vs. Ajax Axemen at Pickering Recreation Complex. STUART NODELL Best on the bike. Record-breaking and heartbreaking Pickering swimmer sets event marks but doesn't qualify for Olympics DURHAM — Athens was agonizingly close for Laura Nicholls. The 25-year-old swimmer from the Pickering Swim Club had a record- breaking weekend in the pool at the Canadian Olympic Trials at Toronto's Etobicoke Olympium Pool on the weekend, winning two gold medals in the process. But, in the end, there would be no spot on the Canadian team heading to the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece next month. Use any adjective — heartbreaking, disappointing — and it would sum up accurately the range of emotions felt by Nicholls in the wake of her perfor- mances at the trials. This year, the Wa terloo native changed her coach and club — coming over to the Picker- ing Swim Club under Lucie Hewitt- Henderson — in a bid to reconnect with her career and earn a third Olympic berth. "I put together everything I had in both sprint freestyles and it just did- n't happen," Nicholls, an Olympian in Atlanta and Sydney, told the Swim Canada Web site. "I knew what the standards were and I knew I had to break Canadian records. The bar was raised and I didn't rise to it." In her specialty, the 50-metre freestyle, Nicholls won the prelimi- nary event in a Canadian record time of 25.68 seconds, breaking her previ- ous Canadian mark of 25.78. In the final, she placed first in a time of 25.60, breaking the record a second time. She finished, however, eight one hun- dredths of a second off the Olympic qualifying time. Nicholls also competed in the 100m free, winning gold in 56.43 seconds. She finished second in the prelimi- nary swim, posting a time of 56.95. Again, her times weren't fast enough to push her on to the Canadian Olympic team. Nicholls wasn't the sole swimmer looking to hitch a ride with the Cana- dian team to Athens. Jen Beckberger, 18, of Ajax, and Colin Ackroyd, 17, of Pickering, represented the Ajax Aquatic Club. Meanwhile, Pickering residents Kurtis Miller, 18, and War- ren Barnes, 19, represented the Scar- borough Swim Club. Jessica Ward, 15, represented the Pickering Swim Club. Beckberger swam to fourth place behind Nicholls in the 50m free in a time of 26.16. She finished sixth in the preliminary heats in a time of 26.39. She also made the event final of the 100m free, finishing sixth in 57.22. She placed eighth in her heat in 57.50. She also placed 19th in the 200m free (2:05.57), 33rd in the 100m backstroke (1:07.01) and 35th in the 400m individ- ual medley (5:11.38). Barnes made event finals in two of his three events. He placed sixth in the final of the 100m breaststroke in 1:04.03. He was seventh in the 100m breast preliminary heat in 1:04.60. He also made finals in the 200m breast, placing seventh in 2:20.76. He was also seventh in his heat in 2:21.95. He fin- ished 43rd in the 200m individual medley in 2:19.31. Barnes noted this year's Olympic trials should serve as valuable experi- ence for a push to make the Canadian team for the 2008 Games in Beijing, China. In the interim, he'll attend the University of Pittsburgh on a four- year athletic scholarship. Barnes' Scarborough teammate Miller competed in the 50m free, fin- ishing 31st in the preliminary event in a time of 24.50. Miller, too, is looking toward fulfilling his Olympic dream in 2008. He's also headed to the U.S. on a swimming scholarship, attending the University of Hawaii in the fall. Ackroyd swam five events, falling short of the finals in all of them. His best result was a 14th-place perfor- mance (sixth in the consolation swim) in the 100m backstroke. He also finished 24th in the 200m back, 60th in the 100m butterfly and 26th in the 200m fly. He's headed to the U.S. on a scholarship to Clemson Universi- ty in South Carolina in the fall. Wa rd made the consolation finals of the 200m breast, finishing 14th overall (sixth in the consols). She was also 39th in the 100m breast. LAURA NICHOLLS Olympics bid falls short. JEN BECKBERGER Makes two event finals at trials. On to Athens Felicien cruises to another Canadian hurdles title By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING —A bit of nostalgia awaited Pickering's Perdita Felicien at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Victoria last week- end. The University of Victoria's Centen- nial Stadium track was the site of Canadian championships that yield- ed the 23-year-old hurdler's first trip to the Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia in 2000. Four years later, the two-time world champion, who already has a berth locked up on the Canadian Olympic team to Athens next month based on her performances so far this year, just wanted to run a solid race on Canadian soil and continue her magnificent season in the 100-metre hurdles. Mission accomplished. "I just wanted to run fast at home," says Felicien Tuesday morning. "I haven't run up to my standards here, so I wanted to run around 12.60 (sec- onds)." Felicien won her heat handily, crossing the finish line in exactly that time, which was a meet record for the Canadian championships. She saved her best for the final, running com- fortably to the win in a new Canadian record time of 12.45. The record, how- ever, won't be recognized as the wind was clocked at 2.1 metres per second, just over the legal limit of 2.0. But, having the record nullified, says Felicien, was not as important as running a strong race. "Yeah, I didn't feel too pressured at the end," she says. "It was wind-aided, but I was definitely pleased with the race. I felt I had a lot left in the tank." And, the championships came with an added bonus for Felicien: Two other Canadians -- Angela Whyte, of Edmonton, and Priscilla Lopes, of Whitby -- will accompany her to Athens. It's the first time in Canadian athletics history that three women have qualified for the Olympics in the 100m hurdles. "It's definitely encouraging," she says. "I'm so used to going to big com- petitions alone. To have two others coming along with me is exciting. They'll be in the same predicament as me and I'll have someone to hang out with, go to the track with and joke around with. They'll get the same nerves and jitters as well." Fe licien says her confidence is "super high" in the countdown to the Athens Olympics. Not only does an- other Canadian hurdles title -- her fourth overall and the past three in a row -- give her confidence, but being ranked as the number-one hurdler in the world is a big boost as well. She heard about her world num- ber-one ranking -- displacing Ameri- can Gail Devers who's held that perch for the past two years -- through her coach and was disbelieving at first. "I heard it from Gary (Winckler, her coach) and he told me, 'Your ranking has shifted'. I said, "Did I drop to number 10?' When he told me I was surprised and happy." But, she admits the ranking is much less important than what will transpire on the track in Athens. "There's a more important goal that I want to get," she says, eluding to Olympic gold. Felicien will leave for Europe next week where she will compete in Paris and in Stockholm. She'll return to Nor th America later in the month be- fore heading back to Zurich, Switzer- land for a meet on Aug. 6. She'll attend a Canadian training camp in Italy prior to heading to Greece for the Olympics. PERDITA FELICIEN Canadian champion. Lacrosse squad not taking first-round playoff opponent for granted By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — It's the President's Cup or bust for the Ajax-Pickering Rock senior 'B' lacrosse team. With a reconstituted lineup after several bold roster moves completed prior to the league's trading deadline last week, the Rock brain trust be- lieves the table's set for a deep run through the playoffs. "We've put a team on the floor that we feel can compete for a Canadian championship," declares Rock head coach and general manager Paul St. John. But, before the club can make plans to compete for the President's Cup, symbolic of senior 'B' supremacy in Canada, there's a little matter of a first-round playoff series against the Arthur Aces. Ajax-Pickering (8-7-1 for 17 points, fourth place) kicks off the best-of- three opening-round series against the Aces (7-9-0 for 14 points, fifth place) at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday at 8:30 p.m., with Game 2 set for Arthur on Saturday night at 7 p.m. Game 3, if necessary, is slated tentatively for the complex on Tuesday night. St. John admits his club is ready and itching for the playoffs. He's hopeful his squad won't be looking past the Aces toward the second round. "We're confident we can come out of the first round. If Arthur beats us, it will be a huge upset," says St. John. "We're going to have to be physical. Arthur doesn't have a lot of size and they don't like to play a physical game. We have two lines that match up well against any team in the league and we have the top-three (ranked) defence in the league, so we feel confi- dent going in." The team, which has struggled for much of the regular season with a dearth of scoring, has alleviated that problem in a major way with recent trades and acquisitions. Prolific scor- er Nick Trudeau -- who joined the Rock last season in their playoff run - - is back for another playoff session after agreeing to join the team last week. He'll also continue to play for the Windsor Warlocks of the OLA Major series. The Rock also snared two players from their favourite trading partners, the Brooklin Merchants. Joel John- ston was brought on board for future considerations, and Brad Reed came over to Ajax-Pickering in a deal that sent former Rock captain Brad Cann to the Merchants. St. John is especially high on Reed, calling him "a phenomenal ball player" and saying he brings a multiple skill set to the floor. "We really needed to make that trade," says St. John, adding the deal got done 10 minutes prior to the trade deadline. "(Reed) can play defence, play offence, he can fight, check, he's got size -- he's 6-foot-4 inches and 230 pounds -- so he's a big boy and he can run the floor." And, the offensive firepower of the new-look Rock was on display in the team's final regular-season game against Mohawk at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday night. The Rock opened up a nine-goal lead in the second period en route to a 14- 6 whipping of the Stars. Most impressive was the Rock's power play unit, which converted on its first three man-advantage oppor- tunities, scoring three goals in a com- bined 25 seconds. Trudeau led the way in his debut, notching an impressive seven-point outing with five goals and two assists. Captain Jim Veltman was equally im- pressive, scoring a goal while adding six assists. Reed scored a hat trick and added an assist. Johnson chipped in with two goals and an assist. Marty O'Brien, Cody Laforme and Jaime Lumsden added one apiece. Other as- sists went to O'Brien with three, Mark Craig with two, and Mike Miron, Bill McLean, Laforme, Lumsden and Ed Fines, all with one. PEBBLES:To make room for the new acquisitions, the Rock released Tim Holland, Gary Gould and Chad Mar- tin... Other first-round playoff series include the first-place Owen Sound Woodsmen against the eighth-place Brooklin Merchants, second-place Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks against the seventh-place Ennismore Sham- rocks and the third-place Barrie Lakeshores against the sixth-place Mohawk Stars...

P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 14, 2004 www.durhamregion.com GIVE A HOMELESS PET A SECOND CHANCE You can help us make a difference when it comes to giving a homeless pet a second chance at life. If you can find room in your heart and home for a pet, we encourage you to consider adopting a homeless pet from us. Because of the serious pet overpopulation problem in the Ajax, Pickering and Whitby area, we have an ongoing need to place homeless animals in good homes. A pet can add untold hours of joy to your family and provide you with more unconditional love than you can imagine. Please consider giving a homeless pet a second chance. Visit our animal services web-site at www.pawanimalservices.ca to read more about the importance of responsible pet ownership, to find a lost pet, or to offer a homeless pet a good loving home. PET SUMMER CARE AND SAFETY TIPS The following tips will help with the care and comfort of your pet during the hot summer months. Some are applicable year round. NEVER LEAVE AN ANIMAL IN A PARKED VEHICLE IN WARM WEATHER. Even if the vehicle is parked in the shade and the windows are cracked open. The interior can reach excessive temperatures. Your companion animal could suffer from heat stroke, brain damage or even death. IF YOU LEAVE YOUR PET OUTSIDE FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME, MAKE SURE IT HAS ACCESS TO PLENTY OF CLEAN, FRESH WATER, PROPER SHELTER AND LOTS OF SHADE. It is not advisable to leave your companion animal outside for any extended period of time. IF YOU ARE GOING ON VACATION, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR COMPANION ANIMAL TO FEND FOR ITSELF. Arrange for a responsible pet sitter or a responsible boarding kennel to care for your pet. If you take your cat or dog with you, make sure it always wears a collar with current I.D. EXERCISE YOUR PET MODERATELY IN THE MORNING OR EVENING WHEN IT IS COOLER OUTSIDE. Use common sense and do not make your dog run behind your bike or roller blades. Don’t let your dog ride in the open back of a pick-up truck. The risk is too great for both your dog and other motorists. GROOM YOUR PET ON A REGULAR BASIS. Regular grooming will keep your cat or dog free of matts and excess hair, while also helping to detect fleas and ticks. Shaving an animal is not a good idea as fur actually insulates and protects the skin from sun and insect bites. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CAT OR DOG TO RUN AT LARGE. Warm weather means an increase in roaming animals. Make sure your companion animal is confined to the indoors or to your yard. SUMMER IS A GREAT TIME TO WELCOME A NEW ANIMAL INTO YOUR HOME. Make sure you are ready and committed to bringing an animal home for the rest of its life - not just the duration of the summer. If you are able to accept the responsibilities of being a pet owner, please visit the Pickering-Ajax-Whitby Animal Services Centre where there are many wonderful animals needing a loving home. S.
