Groen/ News Advertiser photo Monika Joshi is offering area youth a chance to get involved in the community, have fun and make a difference. The Ajax Optimist Youth Club has decreased from 15 members down to Ms. Joshi. Youth movement Monika Joshi encourages more teens to join local club By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer AJAX –And then there was one. Now, Monika Joshi is trying to change that. The 18-year-old Ajax resi- dent wants to keep the Ajax Optimist Youth Club going. And she’s actively recruiting new members. When she joined three years ago, there were 15 to 16 people, but “now, there’s just me.” The others have graduated from high school and moved on. While Ms. Joshi has also graduated, she’s continued on as a member of the club. Now in its fourth year, the youth club “helps out in the community. We’re attached to four or five societies - the Heart and Stroke, the CNIB, MS,” Ms. Joshi states, adding that “anywhere the communi- ty needs help, we help.” Also, “we do our own events,” such as a barbecue and bake sales, she says. At Christmas they also help fam- ilies in need. With $250 the youth club raised and another $100 contributed by Ms. Joshi, “we bought a lot of gifts.” The youth club also helps with Big Brothers association by taking part in its annual fund-raising bowling event. “Usually, we’re just out there helping out,” Ms. Joshi notes. Asked if she finds the club interesting, she says, “I per- sonally do.” Ms. Joshi got involved in the youth club through an Opti- mist club member who came into the store where she worked. He told her about the youth club and “he gave me his card and said if I was in- terested (to call him) and I was,” she says. And, “Three years ago, I won a community service award with them,” Ms. Joshi adds. She was a student at Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School when she joined. Asked why she works with the club, Ms. Joshi notes, “It feels good to do it. You’re help- ing out people.” For high school students, it’s also a chance to get com- munity service hours. “You can be there for the community when they need it,” she states. For instance, while at the Big Brothers and Big Sisters events, “it feels good when Lit- tle Brothers and Little Sisters are there.” The club usually meets twice a month for about an hour. “If we’re doing an event, it’s a little more time than usual.” ✦See Reaching page 4 INCOME TAX ALL-CANADIAN TAX SERVICE offices open year round 100 Westney Rd.

Email: service@pickeringhonda.com They know how, just not who McLean promises hard work Jones murder trial takes a break Jury expected back in September, testimony should wrap up by November By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM –Jurors hearing the first-degree murder trial of Cosmo Jacobson and Sean Hall have been excused for a summer break, but the presiding judge has warned them there’s much work left to do when court resumes in September. The earlier-than-expected adjournment came as an- other wrinkle was intro- duced in the long-running trial, and on a day when ju- rors’ frustration with the proceedings was expressed in a letter to the judge. Superior Court Justice Donald Ferguson read the letter aloud when the jury was called in around lunchtime Wednesday, after waiting out yet another in- camera session as lawyers debated points of law. Jurors expressed frustration with the ever-changing schedule of the complicated trial, City councillor appointed to vacated regional position By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING –Councillor Bill McLean has a new job. At Monday night’s council meeting the Ward 2 City Councillor was appointed by his peers to fill the Ward 2 re- g ional seat left vacant by Mark Holland, who was elected the MP for Ajax-Pick- ering last month. “I’d like to thank your wor- ship and my fellow council- lors for putting your faith and trust in me,” a notice- ably emotional Coun. McLean said slowly before regaining his composure. “I will work hard for the City of Pickering and the res- idents of Ward 2 at the Re- Seaton plans coming along, but which developers still unknown By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – Although the Province is moving ahead with the development plan for Seaton, the details of who is going to be develop- ing it have yet to be released. The provincially owned Seaton lands in north Pick- ering are being swapped for developer-owned land on the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill. The Liberals are still finalizing the deal, which was started under the Conservative government. “That’s expected to be made sooner rather than later,” Bryan Kozman said of the announcement of the land exchange deal.

It is important that we stick together and fight for the best interests of the City,” he said adding Mr. Holland has left some big shoes to fill. Once Mr. Holland’s seat was officially declared vacant, Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe nominated Coun. McLean to move up to the regional seat. It’s expected council at its next meeting will call a byelection for Coun. McLean’s former city seat. “I feel comfortable moving Coun. McLean’s name and I think he’ll do a good job as re- gional councillor,” Coun. Ashe said. “It’s a very proud day to be able to second the nomination of Coun. McLean to the Re- gion,” Ward 3 Regional Council- lor Rick Johnson said. “We need a strong team at the region - we had one with Mr. Holland. Coun. Johnson explained why he seconded the appoint- ment. “He is a strong advocate for police issues, safety issues and community issues,” he said. “Bill McLean is a hard worker, he is a hard worker in the com- munity. He knows his commu- nity, he knows Ward 2.” Wa rd 3 City Councillor David Pickles also praised Coun. McLean. “I don’t want to make Coun. McLean blush with all of the ac- colades,” he said. “The situa- tion this evening is it would be appropriate (to appoint him). He has done a very good job. The constituents of Ward 2 elected Coun. McLean (in 2000) and returned him three years later.” A retired Toronto police offi- cer, Coun. McLean first ran for council in 1997 against Mr. Hol- land for the Ward 2 City seat. He ran again in November 2000 and won (Mr. Holland ran for the regional seat that year) and in November 2003 was re-elect- ed with a large majority. His appointment to the re- gional seat was unanimous. “Coun. McLean has repre- sented Ward 2 through the de- mocratic process through two elections,” said Ward 1 Region- al Councillor Maurice Brenner. “Right now in Durham Region we are facing several important issues. We don’t have an awful lot of time for a learning curve.” Coun. McLean was officially sworn in after the recorded vote. Regional councillors make just under $40,000, in ad- dition to City pay. Council unanimous with support for McLean ✦ Council from page 1 which began in mid-April and was to have been nearly fin- ished by now. But jurors have been warned they’ll be sitting at least until November, months longer than originally forecast. Justice Ferguson apologized for the ongoing revisions, but warned the eight men and four women who’ve spent months in Courtroom 2 at the Ross- land Road courthouse not to let their frustration with the process get in the way of their mandate to weigh evidence with open and unbiased minds, and arrive at a reason- able verdict. “At the end of the day, the most important thing is that (although) you’re frustrated and inconvenienced, you not let it colour what you’ve heard ... (and) what you decide,” Jus- tice Ferguson said. Mr. Jacobson and Mr. Hall are charged with the first-de- gree murder of Mr. Jones, who was gunned down on Pickering Beach Road near his home Feb. 4, 2001. The Crown’s theory is that Mr. Jones was slain to prevent him from testifying against Mr. Ja cobson, who faced several years in prison if convicted of a home invasion robbery that happened in Pickering in June 2000. Jurors were expecting to be excused Thursday or Friday, after the Crown wrapped up its case. But a dispute over evidence during testimony by the final witness for the Crown derailed proceedings Wednesday, and the prosecution will now have to wait until after Labour Day to complete its case. A ruling by the judge prevents report- ing on submissions heard in the jury’s absence. “I’m going to end it now be- cause of a new problem,” the judge told the jurors. “I’m going to send you home this morning until Sept. 7.” While some concerns have been expressed by individual jurors, Wednesday’s letter to the judge was the first time all 12 have formally expressed their frustration over ongoing schedule changes and the ef- fect they’ve been having on plans for work, home life and leisure plans. Even as he excused them for six weeks, however, Justice Fe rg uson warned the jurors to expect more delays when they return. “I’m just forewarning you, we may encounter this again,” the judge said. Delays and legal wrangling have been a hallmark of the trial, which began in the spring and was scheduled to be sent to the jury for a verdict in Sep- tember. Long stretches of court time have been devoted to the judge hearing legal arguments from lawyers in the absence of the jury. The already complex trial is further complicated by the fact the two accused are being tried at once. As well, the defences Mr. Hall and Mr. Jacobson, long-time friends from Picker- ing, will put forward involve pointing the finger at one an- other. While they have yet to make their cases, lawyers for the two men have already indicated what they’ll present to the jury. In cross-examination of a Crown witness in May, Douglas Usher, the lawyer representing Mr. Jacobson, enlisted a line of questioning aimed at deflect- ing blame away from his client. Mr. Usher asked Kirk Rain- ford, Mr. Jacobson’s cousin, about the night of the killing; Mr. Rainford said an agitated Mr. Jacobson showed up at his house and said he’d seen Roy Jones gunned down. “He told you Roy Jones was shot and he was the lookout, right?” Mr. Usher asked. “Yes,” Mr. Rainford replied. In a testy exchange the same day, Paul Burstein, who repre- sents Mr. Hall, accused Mr. Rainford of lying to protect his cousin. “It’s hard to keep all the lies straight, isn’t it Mr. Rainford,” the lawyer pointedly asked. Mr. Burstein is crafting a de- fence aimed at portraying Mr. Hall as a peripheral character in the case who embellished his role to impress others. Among those he was trying to impress were two undercover Durham Region police officers, who moved into Mr. Hall’s apartment building in Brant- ford in the summer of 2001 and befriended the young man, portraying themselves as suc- cessful criminals who could help him obtain the money and f lashy cars for which he yearned. Over weeks on the stand, the cops recounted how Mr. Hall bragged about being the “brains” behind the murder, prodding Mr. Jacobson to deal with Mr. Jones and coolly dri- ving away from the crime scene after the shooting oc- curred. “Buddy, I’m the brain,” Mr. Hall boasted at one point, ac- cording to testimony. He also talked at length about watching as Mr. Jones was chased down and shot sev- eral times, and of helping his accomplice dispose in Lake Ontario of the .45 calibre hand- gun they used. But Mr. Burstein has point- ed to a number of inconsisten- cies in Mr. Hall’s descriptions of the killing and what hap- pened afterward. He’s put forth the possibility that Mr. Hall, looking to curry favour with men he admired and hoped to work with, was claiming to have played a much more pivotal role in the slaying than he actually did. This dynamic - of the two long-time friends blaming one another for the shooting - could well climax this fall, when both might take the wit- ness stand. Although it’s not a certainty, lawyers for both men have indicated the strong pos- sibility that may occur. If so, each man is likely to spend several days on the stand. The defence will have to counter a mountain of evi- dence presented by the Crown, which includes DNA evidence, forensic computer searches, cellphone records and, most glaringly, the hours and hours of conversations the unwitting Mr. Hall had with the under- cover officers. One of those cops remarked in June how astonished he was that Mr. Hall was willing to talk at length with men he barely knew about the killing. “It’s like verbal diarrhea,” the officer said. “He just keeps talking and talking and talk- ing. It just keeps rolling off his tongue.” Throughout the trial, howev- er, Mr. Hall has remained silent, as has Mr. Jacobson. The former friends sit at either end of a long bench in the courtroom prisoner’s dock, never exchanging so much as a word or even a glance. Both will continue to watch the proceedings, and await the verdict from the jury, when the case resumes in September. Jury takes the summer off ✦ Jury from page 1 By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – Pickering residents are going to the polls yet again. Vo ters in the City’s Ward 2 are like- ly going to be dealing with a byelec- tion this fall - the fourth election in just over a year. The regional seat in the ward was left vacant when Mark Holland was elected to the House of Commons in the riding of Ajax-Pickering last month. Monday night Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean was appoint- ed to fill that vacancy, which left his seat empty. Council passed a motion Monday indicating its intention to fill the va- cancy through a byelection. “I strongly support the idea to hold a byelection to fill the vacancy,” said Wa rd 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe, who brought the motion forward. “It is incumbent on us to have a fair and open process.” In the motion it stated democracy would be best achieved if electors had a direct say in the filling of the vacancy. Six residents had their say on how the vacancy of the regional seat should be filled as they made deputations to council before Coun. McLean was appointed. Ajax resident Serge Gizzo came with a prepared speech as to why he should be appointed to fill the seat, complete with an endorsement from To ronto MP Judy Sgro, the minister of citizenship and immigration. “I would like Pickering to continue to be represented as an urban centre. I would like to see Pickering be a host to f ilm and cultural events,” he said. Mr. Gizzo works in Pickering. Former councillor Enrico Pistritto came to offer advice but made it clear he was not interested in the seat. “The democratic process is best served by an election. I’m telling you to do what I didn’t do,” he said. When Mr. Pistritto was on council, reg ional councillor David Farr passed away and council made the decision to appoint - someone who had not run politically - which Mr. Pistritto said was the wrong decision. Eileen Higdon, another former councillor, also put her two cents in. “I want to endorse the idea of a by- election to fill the regional vacancy,” she said. “It is the most democratic decision.” Coun. Ashe’s motion was carried unanimously. “I certainly do support this partic- ular motion. I think people should get out to vote for who they want to represent them in their ward,” said Coun. McLean. Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner asked the City clerk to circulate a copy of the motion to community groups and multicultural organizations in the city to inform as many people as possible about the pending byelection. “To ensure that everyone is aware not only of the vacancy but also the intent of this council,” he said. Coun. Brenner also asked that a marketing strategy be implemented to inform residents of the byelection and to get as many people out to vote as possible. “Democracy is best served when you get the greatest number of peo- ple (participating),” he said. Council will likely to pass a byelec- tion bylaw at a special meeting of council. The date of the meeting has yet to be decided.

Now as part of the group of award-winning community news- papers, the ‘Port Perry Star’ will provide Metroland with the oppor- tunity to improve services to our readers and advertisers.” Don MacLeod, the final indepen- dent owner of the ‘Star,’ was proud of the work he and his staff accom- plished in his 10 years with the news- paper. “Owning the ‘Port Perry Star’ was one of the greatest experiences of my life,” says Mr. MacLeod. “I en- joyed many success with the staff, a lot of good times, and probably the most important thing in my life, is the knowledge I gained over the past 10 y ears with the paper.

Metroland acquires Port Perry Star Pickering Ward 2 byelection appears likely Police need witnesses in stabbing By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer PICKERING –Frustrated by a lack of co-operation among witnesses, Durham Regional Police have issued an appeal for information in the stab- bing of a Pickering teen on the week- end. People who were in attendance at a birthday party on Larksmere Court last Friday night have provided few details as to what led to the fight, which left the 19-year-old victim in hospital in critical condition with sev- eral stab wounds, said police spokesman Dave Selby. Numerous teens from Pickering and Ajax were in attendance at the party, police said. “They’re not as forthcoming as we’d like,” Mr. Selby said. “We want to talk to people who were there.” Police say the victim and his friends arrived at the party around 11 p.m. July 23. As they were leaving sometime in the early morning hours of Saturday, the teen and his friends were con- fronted by a group of youths on the front lawn of the home. The victim ran off on foot with at least one other person in pursuit, po- lice said. The chase ended with a con- frontation in a back yard on nearby Beachlawn Crescent, in the area of Hwy. 401 and Brock Road, police said. The victim was stabbed numerous times in the upper body; police aren’t releasing the exact number of wounds. “There’s number of puncture wounds; there’s a number of cuts,” Mr. Selby said. Investigators aren’t sure if the vio- lence was the result of a one-time con- frontation or an ongoing dispute be- tween the two men involved. They’re hoping witnesses will come forward to help police put the pieces together. Anyone with concerns about talk- ing to police can do give a tip anony- mously through Durham Region’s Crime Stoppers program at 1-800- 222-8477, Mr. Selby said.

Keeping the youth group going is a goal of Ms. Joshi’s. “The Optimists wanted to close it down and I opposed it. I want to get it back up,” Ms. Joshi states. “They were thinking of closing it down and I said ‘give me the summer.’ It’s hard to get one going because you have to have a charter.” Ms. Joshi is in her second year at Sir Sanford Fleming College in Peter- borough, where’s she’s taking police foundations. “I hopefully want to be a police offi- cer. I want to work for the Durham Regional Police.” When school is in session, she trav- els back and forth each day, in part to work with the youth club.

The details of that ex- change were never finalized before the provincial election last October where the Con- servatives lost to Dalton McGuinty and the Liberals. Part of the Liberal cam- paign included a promise to protect two thirds of environ- mentally sensitive Seaton. Mr. McGuinty also pledged to stop the development of 6,600 homes on the moraine in Richmond Hill, but once in office was only able to pre- vent construction of about 900. Now, in addition to the land exchange deal discussed by the previous government, the Liberals have expanded the area on the moraine that is to come into public owner- ship by about 50 acres. “There has been a lot of discussions to wrap in those new lands,” Mr. Kozman said. “Those discussions are very close to being finished.” Despite the deal not having gone public yet, the Province began its development plan of Seaton in the spring. At a public meeting held last month in Pickering many residents wanted to know the details of the land swap be- fore any plans were made re- garding where development would go or what kind of de- velopment it would be. The development plan is expected to go before cabinet by the end of the year. Mr. Kozman said the de- tails of the land exchange would be released by then as well. “I believe (the announce- ment) will in fact be made this year,” he said. “I believe it will be made well before the end of the year.” He added the details to be released include the amount of land being swapped, where those lands are within Seaton, and the developers who are to receive the lands. A portion of the Seaton lands have already been des- ignated a natural heritage system. Those lands, repre- senting more than half of the total area, would remain in public ownership in perpetu- ity. The goal is to protect Seaton’s environmentally sensitive features, such as its coldwater streams and wood- lots, although some counter the area does not go far enough to protect all the sen- sitive lands or sacred Native property. Pickering has not been in- formed of the full details of the exchange either. The City is finishing its own growth management study regarding development in Seaton and the Duffins Rouge Agricul- tural Preserve, which the Province has said is not to be developed. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 28, 2004 PAGE 5 P We’ve Got Your Size Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING genuine leather woven vamp perfect for the warm summer weather IT’S SALE TIME Comfort and Well being with every step.

We have only to look as far as the cancellation of the Mike Bullard show for evidence of this. Only days ago, I was in the middle of a particularly diffi- cult week, nightly radiation treatments having turned my gastro-intestinal tract into cheesecloth, when I received an e-mail from dear friends in- forming me that a years-long, much publicized battle to adopt their half-native foster child was finally coming to an end, and that they had won. The news made me laugh out loud with delight and made my wife cry with joy. We couldn't have been happier if I was passing solid stools. You may have heard or read about my friends' struggle. A normal, work-a-day set of par- ents with a happy, noisy passel of their own children, saddled with all of the debt and mort- gage and concern we all carry around with us, pitted against the vastly deep pockets and political clout of the Squamish Indian nation. It was a classic David and Goliath story, except that in the biblical version the Chil- dren's Aid Society, in a splen- did display of cowardice, had- n't jumped ship to back Go- liath. Things really did not look good for my friends. They very quickly ran out of every re- source in their arsenal but love and, against all prevailing sani- ty, it looked like this precious little girl, a little girl who under their patient care and nurtur- ing had been transformed from a psychological nightmare into a carefree, precocious pixie, was going to be wrenched away from the only people who had ever really loved her in her short life. It was ugly. It was patently unfair and it was just plain stu- pid. It really did feel like the universe was turned upside down. But then, at the eleventh hour, something remarkable happened. The kind of thing that only happens in places like Who-ville‚ or Bedford Falls‚ or Narnia. For a reason that was as silly and inconsequen- tial as the band's reasons for the court battle in the first place, the Squamish Nation suddenly dropped the case - just dropped it and walked away. I'm sure there is a legal rea- son or political term that de- scribes this abrupt turn of events. Whatever it is, it does- n't matter - not to me, not to my friends and their little auburn-haired jewel, not to anyone who has the ability to see with their hearts. We know what really happened. This was the universe re-aligning it- self. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his weekly column.

Editorial In the community Editorials &Opinions WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Letters to the Editor Hope for the future Provincial growth plan encourages municipalities to take another look It was as broad a cross-section as you’ll find when it comes to planning for the future. Residents, business owners and groups, farmers, developers and more turned out in Oshawa last week as the Province discussed its 58-page discussion paper, ‘Places to Grow: Better Choices, Brighter Future.’ Released earlier this month, the paper is the beginnings of a plan for growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe area for the next 30 years and beyond. The Oshawa stop, led by Northumberland MPP Lou Ri- naldi, the parliamentary secretary for public infrastruc- ture renewal, was the only one for the Durham, Northum- berland and Kawartha Lakes regions. There are seven stops in all as the Province takes this broad outline and with the community input, firms up the specifics. Among the many details, the plan will establish urban centres, which will be targets for intensification and the promotion of mixed uses in the years to come, it pinpoints emerging urban centres, such as Pickering and Oshawa in Durham Region, and it maps out provincial strategies and incentives to make all this growth happen. Quite simply, the plan is intended to help grow the Gold- en Horseshoe in a smart manner, effectively stopping the seemingly uncontrolled sprawl of years past. That’s good news here in Durham, where residents have watched over the past decade as local planning has been usurped many times by the Ontario Municipal Board, tak- ing decisions out of the hands of our elected officials. There’s no greater example than in Brooklin, where the village’s intended growth plan was greatly, vastly, and ex- peditiously exceeded due to OMB rulings. Some will argue the plan will stall development, rather than spur it on. But its premise isn’t to stifle any new growth beyond identified centres or areas, rather, it’s just forcing communities to take another look at existing land and resources. Much has been made of Durham growing to a popula- tion of one million people in the decades to come. But, al- ready it’s a region that is starting to struggle with its bur- geoning size as the existing infrastructure lags behind. With the growth plans in place at the Region and its eight municipalities, much is to be gained by working with the Province on attracting new interest to brownfields, old industrial lands, and other areas for intensification. When you consider the benefits and incentives being promised by the Province to encourage developers and in- vestors to these areas, it may also be the solution to final- ly revitalizing our downtown areas. We have to do better with our growth in the years to come as the current approach just isn’t working. The plan is a good start on the road to that rebirth. Bee very careful A swarm of bees on Andrea Road had residents in a tizzy last week. Hundreds of honeybees, as shown in this picture from Fred Horst, gathered on a bush at a home on the south Ajax street, remaining there for about six hours. Police officers, firefighters, Town staff and local Councillor Pat Brown all came to the scene, and pylons were set up to warn pedestrians of the potential danger. To make matters worse, a resident of the house has a severe allergy to bee stings. Around 4 p.m. the bees were on the move, travelling a few doors down the street, apparently on their way to a permanent home. A Town worker speculated they were disrupted by construction work or com- pelled to move after the birth of a second queen bee. Extermi- nating the bees was out of the question: the Town staffer says the provincial Bees Act prohibits killing them due to their ecolog- ical importance.

Neil Crone, you have enlight- ened our whole family with your insight into the wacky world of washrooms. I'm sure we have all had ex- periences we'd rather forget. In fact, since I was a young boy, I still have nightmares about the "trough" at the old Maple Leaf Gardens. However, something that happened when I was out to dinner with my wife, Nancy, may get a chuckle or two. We were dining along the water- front in Pickering and had a drink or two during the course of the meal. I drink beer and the call of nature happened as expected. Excusing myself, I found my way to the back of the restaurant where the Men's and Ladies rooms were found. As I entered, I noticed a pair of feet in the lone cubicle, thought nothing of it and pro- ceeded to the urinal. Suddenly a friendly voice broke the silence. "Hi." I said "Hi" back. "How are you?" Fine, was my reply. "What are you up to?" "I'm taking a leak." "Hang on a minute Honey, some guy thinks I'm talking to him. Hey...I'm on a cellphone here!" Sorry Neil, but it may have been me who hit the ceiling and the mirror that night. Laughter will do that to a man. Bill Cowling Oshawa Message important, not the messengers To the editor: 'Protesters crossed the line,' editorial of July 18. If the editor had taken the time to see the 'Show the Truth' pro-life group's demon- stration he would have realized that standing alongside the Grandmas, Grandpas, Moms and Dads were teens and chil- dren holding these aborted fetus signs. The truth is abortion kills. No one likes these pictures but they tell the truth about what happens to one-third of all fetuses conceived in Cana- da. What you should be con- cerned about is the abortion industry that eats up taxpay- ers' money for birth control while the abortionists rake in mega-bucks each year. Someone must speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. So, please, just don't shoot the messenger just because you don't like the message.

In an effort to help curb bird activity within Kinsmen park and the new Progress Park, the City enrolled the help of a company called “Nature Knows Best” for this important pilot project. By using a dog and hawks to prevent geese from congregating, this non-lethal, user-friendly means will help reduce the mess associated with the birds and their feeding habits.The program is funded by way of a joint partnership between the City of Pickering and the Pickering Soccer Club. • Pay strict attention to campfire bans. • Build your campfire on a safe location – designated fire pit, stone surface or bare ground. • Clear the area around your campfire of all debris for at least one meter in all directions. • Keep the fire small. • The campfire should be a safe distance from trees, shrubs and dry grass – look up for overhanging trees. • Never leave the campfire unattended.A sudden breeze could spread the fire. • Keep a supply of water, and a shovel, near the campfire. • Make sure the campfire has been completely extinguished. The ashes should be soaked thoroughly with water to make sure they won’t re-ignite.

And if anyone thought they were trying to sneak in to the movie, the young people had a big name to drop: they were actor Hilary Duff’s special guests. The youths, from schools in Pick- ering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa, are all involved in Rainbows Canada, a not-for-profit, international group that helps children heal after the death of a family member, a divorce or other traumatic events. Duff sup- ports the Kids With A Cause charity, and Canadian members hosted the benefit screening, inviting 100 Rain- bows participants from the GTA. Linda Halsey of Ajax, a registered director on the Rainbows Canada governing board, says the youths were picked up by a bus in Ajax and taken to the theatre. Each had an opportunity to meet and have a photo taken with Duff, the 16-year- old star of the Lizzie McGuire series and movie and a recording artist. “Wonderful,” said Halsey, a South- wood Park Public School teacher, summing up the day. “They were so good to the kids; they were so excit- ed. She came out and talked to them with her producer and her co-star and her director.” Tickets for the event cost a whop- ping $500 each. The young people were treated to some bloopers that didn’t make it into the film and left with their hands full: Halsey says each received two bags of goodies, mostly clothing and accessories, including items from Duff’s own merchandise line. Sara McLeod of Ajax says she’s planning to frame the picture taken of herself, Hilary, sister Haylie Duff and cast member Dan Byrd. “It was great,” she says. “There were lots of people and it was hot, but it was worth the wait.” The Southwood Park Public School student noted not many peo- ple have the good fortune to meet the star. McLeod’s a big fan of both Duff’s movies and music, and gave her new film a good review. “Personally, I enjoyed it,” she says. “It was really great. I liked the story and I liked the characters.” McLeod says the gifts she received included a pair of Hilary Duff sun- glasses, shirts and a box of cookies. John Perks of Oshawa was grate- ful that local teachers took time out of their summer to accompany the students, and that Hilary also made the young people a priority. “It made me think there’s some- body out there actually thinking of us,” says the St. Joseph Catholic School student. He says it was a bit overwhelming when it came time to meet the star. “I was kind of stuttering, (think- ing), ‘what if I say the wrong thing,’” Perks recalls. To his surprise, he liked the movie. “It was an amazing movie,” Perks says. “At the beginning, I thought it was going to be dry and boring, but I enjoyed it a lot.” Halsey introduced Rainbows to the Durham District School Board, starting in 1991 at Southwood Park. She says it just mushroomed from there and within one year was at 25 schools. Today, nine out of every 10 public schools and Durham Catholic schools offer Rainbows. “Several hundred every year go through the program in the region,” says Halsey. The 12-week program sees groups of three to five young people meet for 40 minutes a week. The emphasis is on helping them understand that what has happened is not their fault and they are not alone. Parents and relatives are not allowed to sit in on the sessions, giv- ing the young people an added mea- sure of security. “The kids feel very free to talk,” says Ms. Halsey. “And even if they don’t talk, they’re listening and they know that there’s a place to go if they’re hurting.” For more information on the pro- gram, visit www.rainbowscanada.ca.

Sports Briefs JULY 28, 2004 Tr ack star takes title in Olympics tune-up PICKERING — If Saturday's event in France is any indication, Pickering's Perdi- ta Felicien is on course for Olympic gold in Athens next month. The 23-year-old two-time world cham- pion made her first trip back to the site of her 2003 World Championship gold medal a winning one at Saint-Denis. Competing in the Gaz de France meet, Felicien captured first place in the 100-metre hurdles in a time of 12.60 sec- onds. France's Linda Ferga-Khodadin fin- ished with the silver in 12.78, while Ameri- can Jenny Adams was third in 12.84. While the race contained several Olympic hopefuls, it didn't have ei- ther U.S. rival Gail Devers or Ja- maican Bridget Foster. Felicien com- peted at the DN Galan competition in Stockholm, Sweden on Tues- day, with the re- sult unavailable at press deadline. There, she also lined up on the starting blocks against an Olympic-calibre field, including Lacena Golding-Clarke and Foster, both of Jamaica, and Americans Melissa Morri- son, Adams and Danielle Carruthers. The Gaz de France meet was part of the Golden League track and field events in Europe. Felicien will race at one of the premier events of the Golden League se- ries — Weltklasse Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland — on Aug. 7 and 8. This will be her final tune-up event prior to the Olympic Games. Following the Zurich meet, Felicien will join other Canadian track and field Olympians for a training camp in Italy, prior to heading for Athens for the Olympics, which begin Aug. 13 and continue to Aug. 29. Pickering girls claim cup title PICKERING — The Pickering Power Flames girls' under-14 premier rep soccer team torched the competition en route to the championship at the Ambassador Cup tournament in Kingston recently. In a tough final game against the Corn- wall Kinsmen Blazers, the score was tied 1- 1 at the end of regulation. The teams bat- tled it out through two overtime sessions, with the Flames scoring the cup-winning marker with one second left in the second frame. The Flames handily defeated teams from Toronto, Belleville, and Goulborn to bring them to the semifinal against Wood- stock. Flames striker Leanne Fomenko scored a hat trick to give Pickering a 3-0 win over Woodstock. Pickering was on fire all weekend, win- ning all its games and netting 16 goals in total. Goalkeepers Channon Traill and Melanie Martins combined to provide solid work, allowing only one goal against. Other team members are Jennifer Chung, Shannon Foster, Amanda Garcia, Vanessa Garcia, Chelsea Gordon, Shan- non Kennedy, Bobbi McDougall, Michelle Newhook, Kailey Park, Savitry Phom- saphao, Megan Pritchard, Nicole Renouf, Tasia Shaw, Meghan Taylor and Amreen Thawer. Alfonso Garcia coaches the team, as- sisted by Kevin Pritchard and Jeff Kennedy. The trainer is Pat Taylor, and the manager is Debbie Kennedy. Panthers unbeatable en route to title PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers girls' under-13 rep soccer team needed overtime to prevail in the final at the Ajax Soccer Club tournament last weekend. The Panthers captured the champi- onship with five consecutive shutout wins. Tw o minutes into overtime against the Unionville-Milliken Strikers, Pickering's Na- talie Guest received a pass at midfield and made a run through the Strikers' defence and placed a low, hard shot to the left of the keeper. The goal lifted the Panthers to a 1-0 victory. In the semifinal, Pickering met the Ajax Avalanche who finished second in their pool. Pickering prevailed 3-0. Two own goals went against Ajax, created after constant pressure by the Panthers. Guest scored the third goal after a beautiful header and pass from Shona Dunkley. The Panthers defeated the Ajax Jaguars 4-0 in Game 1. Guest scored three times, Dunkley had the other. In Game 2, Pickering defeated a skilled Ajax Odyssey club 2-0 in a spirited game between Cen- tral Girls' Soccer League rivals. Marissa Smith and Elaine MacPherson scored. The final round-robin contest pitted the Pan- thers against the Strikers. Pickering emerged with a hard-fought 1-0 victory. Kathryn Rumboldt scored on a strong shot from a bad angle. Other team members are Amanda Boyle, Rebecca Hoekstra, Lauren Giles, Kelly Craig, Karlie Doucette, Gillian Clay- ton, Kelsey Smith, Kellie Downing, Lindsay Ta ylor, Megan Cassells and Stacey Dami- ani. PERDITA FELICIEN Wins in France. By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM —A local hurdler made his last race as a junior a winning one at the Canadian Junior Track and Field Championships in Saska- toon last weekend. Cameron Sahadath, a Pickering High School graduate now living in Pickering, earned the gold medal in the men's 110-metre hurdles in a time of 14.11 seconds. Although he was delighted with the result, Sahadath noted better form during the race might have al- lowed him to run a Canadian record time. "Yeah, I was actually pretty happy," says the 19-year-old, who re- turned from Saskatoon on Sunday afternoon. "It was my first time win- ning at nationals. It's my last year, so it was a good note to finish on. I wanted to finish high school with an OFSAA gold medal, and I accom- plished that as well. "I have no regrets about the race. I knew I could do it (run a Canadian record time), but I just didn't put it down that day. I brought out the best that I could, so I'm pretty happy with it." Sahadath says his training this summer was helped along by Cana- dian Olympic hurdler Charles Allen of Brampton, who's also part of Canada's 4-x-100-metre relay team going to Athens next month. "He helped me fix a lot of things in my race," says Sahadath. "He's a good guy and he's showed me a lot to aspire to." His preparation for the national juniors, however, didn't go exactly according to plan. Lining up for a se- nior hurdles race at York University two weeks ago, he felt faint and near- ly collapsed on the track, apparently from exhaustion. He did, however, run in a junior race soon after and won the event. He says it might have been a mis- take physically, but for the sake of his mental state, he decided quickly to line up for the start of the junior race. "It was something I needed to do for myself," says Sahadath, in ex- plaining his decision to run the ju- nior race. "I had no meets left before going to nationals." His father, Curtis, the coach of the Durham X-L's track club, advised him to take the week off before na- tionals, and it was a move that defi- nitely helped him achieve the gold. Sahadath was one of two local athletes to capture a medal at the championships. Perennial Ontario high school middle-distance cham- pion Ryan Finn, of Ajax, also made his presence felt. Running for Toronto's Phoenix Track and Field Club, Finn placed third in the final of the 800 metres in a time of 1:54.01. Kyle Smith, also of the Phoenix club, won the race in a time of 1:53.47. Nikkita Holder, of Pickering, ran in the women's 100 metres where she placed 14th in the preliminary heats in 12.58 seconds and 14th in the semifinal in 12.67 seconds. Her time in the semifinal heat wasn't good enough to move her on to the final. Amber Cushnie, of Pickering, placed 12th in the women's 3,000 me- tres in 10:42.30. Danette Doetzel, of Saskatchewan, was the event winner in 9:35.66. CAMERON SAHADATH Golden in hurdles at nationals. Sahadath hurdles to gold Ajax-Pickering stays close but drops Game 1 to Woodsmen By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The new-and-improved Ajax-Pickering Rock couldn't chop down the Owen Sound Woodsmen in lacrosse action Saturday night. Putting together a series of deals at the trade deadline two weeks ago — with the express purpose of matching up better against the perennially favoured Woodsmen in the playoffs — the Rock fell short of the mark. Although they had their chances, leading 3-0 early in the first period, the fourth-seeded Rock was toppled by the top-seeded Woodsmen 12-8 in Ontario Lacrosse Association senior 'B' lacrosse action at the Harry Lum- ley Bayshore Community Centre in Owen Sound. The Woodsmen (15-1 regular sea- son, 3-1 playoffs) lead the best-of-five senior 'B' semifinal series 1-0. The se- ries reconvenes for Game 2 at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday at 8 p.m. and Game 3 in Owen Sound Saturday at 8 p.m. Despite tying the game 7-7 at the end of two periods and 8-8 early in the third, the Rock (8-7-1 regular sea- son, 2-2 in playoffs) couldn't stop the star-studded Owen Sound lineup, which went on to score four unan- swered third-period goals en route to the victory. Quite simply, the Rock didn't do enough to slow down the top Woods- men players, as Jamie Dowdall torched Ajax-Pickering for four goals, while Lindsay Plunkett and Bryan Kazarian added two goals and three assists apiece. Be that as it may, Rock head coach and general manager Paul St. John was more than pleased with his team's effort. "I thought it was a terrific game. I'm very proud of this team," says St. John, who served his second of a two- game suspension after a gross mis- conduct in the first round series. "I'm not happy with the result, but I'm happy with how we played. We have a shot at beating these guys. I think this is a game we should have had." He believes his team was the more physical team on this night —a badge of honour, considering he says the Woodsmen have long been regarded as the bullies of the senior 'B' league. While the big guns for the Woods- men stepped up in a major way, the same couldn't be said for the Rock's snipers. Both Brad Reed and Nick Trudeau — brought in to bolster the scoring late in the regular season — were held off the scoresheet. Although St. John was pleased with the play of Reed and Trudeau, he told them the team will need even more effort — and especially goals — if Ajax-Pickering is to prolong the se- ries beyond three games. The Rock asked game officials to check Woodsmen goaltender Kevin Beauvais for illegal equipment in the third period. His shoulder pads, which can only be three inches off his shoulder, were found to be a whop- ping eight inches above. He was nailed for a second two-minute minor penalty for another equipment in- fraction later in the third. "It's ridiculous," says St. John. "To be five inches over the maximum is unbelievable." Mark Craig led the Rock attack with two goals and three assists. Marty O'Brien had two goals and an assist, followed by Joel Johnson with a goal and three assists.
