Residents group president pro- poses question period: The presi- dent of a local community group wants time set aside each month for residents to ask council questions. Sylvain Trepanier, of the Picker- ing East Shore Community Associa- tion, proposed the idea at the July 26 Pickering council meeting during the course of his delegation regard- ing several concerns. “We (should) allow residents to ask councillors questions, maybe not every night, but once a month,” he suggested. Mr. Trepanier proposed a 30- minute block be set aside at the be- ginning of a meeting so residents cannot only ask questions on issues they want to see discussed in a pub- lic forum, but so they can also get answers immediately. “A ccountability cannot happen every three years, it has to happen over time,” he said. “We hope we cannot only ask questions one on one behind closed doors, but (also) at council in front of the public.” Wa rd 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson suggested residents al- ready have the opportunity to ask questions in an open forum. Mr. Trepanier agreed, however, he made the suggestion because currently residents can make a dele- gation and ask questions, but then they have to sit in council chambers and hope in the course of discussion that the question will be answered. The issue was discussed by council. Five Durham beaches unsafe for swimming: Five local beaches have been posted as unsafe for swimming due to elevated bacteria levels.

With summer here the City is busy enforcing its clean and clear bylaw that requires residents to keep their lawns less than 15 cm (half the height of your typical ruler). "That is primarily one we do enforce and rather strict- ly," said City Clerk Bruce Tay- lor. "That would be the one that keeps us the most busy." Residents who are found to have a less than manicured lawn are given 72 hours to cut it down to size and if they don't comply the City comes in to do it for them - adding the cost for the personal ser- vice to their tax bill. The bylaw doesn't apply to properties in rural Pickering but it does apply to those in the rural hamlets such as Whitevale or Greenwood. That bylaw also requires residents to keep their yards tidy and free from clutter. Another bylaw that resi- dents need to be more aware of in the summer is a region- al bylaw regarding standing water. In order to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes, with the potential to carry West Nile Virus, the City's bylaw of- ficers help make sure resi- dents are complying. "We deal with the com- plaints that come in about ponding water," Mr. Taylor said. The third bylaw, Mr. Taylor said, that is enforced a lot in the spring and summer A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo As with any other season, summer brings its share of seasonal specific bylaws. One to watch out for is keeping your grass within regulations, otherwise the City will do the cutting and then send you the bill.✦See Open-air page 2 All New Look for 2004 NOW EVEN BETTER VALUE ANNANDALE COUNTRY CLUB per person + grat. & taxes Church St. At Bayly, Ajax, 905-683-3210 GOLF TOURNAMENTS AND DINNER PACKAGE DAILY GOLF RATES Weekdays.......$52 Weekends......$57 Mon. to Fri...$37 Sat., Sun. & Holidays...$42 Twilight.......1/2 Price taxes included 376 Kingston Rd., Pickering (NE corner of Rougemount & Hwy. #2) FINE CHINESE CUISINE & DINING LOUNGE For Reservations •OR• Great Take-Out 509-9888509-9888 Experience new skills in Youth Action program DU RH AM –A free, one- week program is being of- fered to teenagers, giving participants the chance to develop important skills.

Says $25,000 in donations recognizes 'common interest in growth' By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING –Despite con- cerns from Pickering resi- dents, MPP Wayne Arthurs is defending his election campaign contributions, in- cluding $25,000 from one ad- dress. The concerns about the Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP's donation list have been raised in public meet- ings by local individuals and groups, including Lorne Al- mack, a member of the local environmental group the Green Door Alliance. The $25,000 came in 25 separate $1,000 donations Arthurs draws red flags WAYNE ARTHURS Defends $25,000 in contributions from one address. ✦See Donations page 4 Prof in orbit over launch of satellite By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM –A local university professor has helped launch the world's largest commer- cial satellite that will bring high-speed Internet access to remote areas across North America. "It costs a lot of money for Rogers and Bell to put lines to remote, rural areas," said Ali Grami, an associate professor in the faculties of engineering, applied science, business and information technology at the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology (UOIT). "This satellite will provide this niche, will provide these services to anyone." The Anik F2 was launched July 17 at a European space- port in French Guiana, on the northeast coast of South America. The satellite weighed almost 6 tonnes at launch, and will span 48 me- tres once it unfolds in space. The price tag: $600 million for manufacturing, insurance and launch costs. ✦See One-of-a-kind page 4 Whitby-Ajax MPP attempting second run at Conservative leadership By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer DURHAM –Jim Flaherty brought his leadership cam- paign home last week. The candidate to lead the Ontario Progressive Conserva- tive Party used his annual bar- becue to pump up the troops and sell memberships. Speaking to about 300 sup- porters, Mr. Flaherty got a cheer when he said, "It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have a premier from Whitby." Mr. Flaherty, the MPP for Whitby-Ajax Riding, has also released his policy platform, which calls for such things as cutting taxes and reducing the size of government, permitting parental choice in education, and allowing citizens to recall a politician. "I'm in the tradition of main- stream conservative values" of hard work and fiscal responsi- bility, he said during the barbe- cue, held at Heydenshore Pavil- ion in Whitby. This is Mr. Flaherty's second run at the leadership, having f inished second to outgoing leader Ernie Eves last year. Others running are John Tory and Frank Klees. John Baird, the MPP for Ne- pean-Carleton and the co- chairman of Mr. Flaherty's cam- paign, called him "our favourite choice to be the next premier of Ontario." The other co-chairman is Tim Hudak, the MPP for Erie- Lincoln. Several local politicians were also on hand for the event, in- cluding Whitby Mayor Marcelle Brunelle, Whitby councillors Shirley Scott and Pat Perkins, Oshawa councillors Cathy Clarke and Tito-Dante Marimpietri, Pickering council- lors Rick Johnson and Kevin Ashe, and Ajax councillor Shaun Collier. School board trustees attending included Elizabeth Roy and John Dol- stra. Mayor Brunelle said, "Jim is a grassroots kind of guy and his roots run deep. He's taken on greater responsibilities and his talents have shown. "I don't believe the university (University of Ontario Institute of Technology) would be here if not for Jim and his hard work and dedication to that project," Mayor Brunelle said. "What a tremendous achievement." He also pointed to Mr. Fla- herty's work to get the cancer centre, preservation of the Lynde Shores marsh and get- ting the ability centre. Mr. Flaherty stated, "I'm proud of the university and I'm proud of the cancer centre. I'm proud of the ability centre. It's important to help those who need help." The "province is more than To ronto. We matter outside of To r onto," Mr. Flaherty said. "West of Toronto got a lot more attention than we did." He pointed to Bev Oda and Colin Carrie, newly elected Conservative MPs, and to de- feated federal candidates Rene Soetens and Tim Dobson. "They've built the foundation for our party. Before the elec- tion we didn't have a founda- tion. We had a hole in the ground," he said. The deadline to sign new members is Aug. 7 and the lead- ership convention is Sept. 18.

To help individuals and families not miss this opportunity I would like to present financial principles that my family has found helpful. These principles include: • Closing Your Financial Circle • Strategies for Debt Elimination: Eliminating Consumer Debt and Mortgage Reduction • Investing in the Future We have covered Closing Your Financial and Strategies for Debt Elimination. In this article I will share on the best part, Investing in the Future. If you are operating within a Closed Circle and are actively working on eliminating debt you most likely also have a surplus in your finances. The key is how to invest the surplus. Jesus said “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:19- 21).” Also, we are encouraged in Proverbs to “Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest (Proverbs 6:6-8).” These scriptures point to investing for the future, both here on earth and into eternity. With this in mind I would like to present a three prong investment strategy which includes tithing, giving and saving. 1. Tithing In reality this is not an investment strategy but a way of life where we acknowledge all provision is from God. By tithing 10% of our gross income we put God first and acknowledge His ownership over all we have. This releases God blessing in our finances and we should follow this principle no matter where we are financially. 2. Giving There are numerous scriptures throughout the bible where giving is encouraged as a way of life. My favourite is in chapter nine of second Corinthians where Paul says “God loves a cheerful giver”. By giving into God’s Kingdom we are showing Him we are wise stewards of His resources and He in turn increases our resources for giving. My wife and I have personally experienced this. Did you know that the world’s system is Buying and Selling while the Kingdom of God is Giving and Receiving? We need to operate in the Kingdom of God. 3. Saving In addition to tithing and giving we need to save some of today’s surplus for tomorrow. We should invest in areas which are wealth and inheritance oriented such as property, precious metals, stocks, mutual funds and RRSPs. By putting these strategies into action we are well on the way to a secure financial future. Tim Young Durham Christian Fellowship Dr. Greg Baker, Pastor FaithWay Baptist Church, Ajax, Ontario Blackout…SARS…West Nile…Mad Cow…Tainted Water…Terrorism…Suicide Bombers…Weapons of Mass Destruction… These words, and others that speak of trials and tragedies, speak volumes and we have heard much of them in recent days. Some in this community have even experienced the hardships that accompany these events. While serving the Lord and the people in the Durham Region for 23 years, I have had many experiences of “weeping with those that weep.” We may ask ourselves, “Why so much suffering? Why did it start?” The answer is found in the Bible. The root cause is sin. When the first man and woman rebelled against God’s Word, the effects of sin became apparent. Down through the ages, every human being and every earthly society has felt those effects. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying that everyone who has a tragedy come into their life is being judged because of grievous sin. But I am saying the effects of sin are being felt and they will only intensify! 2 Timothy 3:13 says, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” The secular humanists’ idea that mankind is evolving into a better state of perfection and goodness is not founded in reality or the Scripture. The socialists would have us believe that man is depraved simply because he is deprived. It is proposed that if we could enhance their environment and give them better opportunities, they would in turn be better people. The Bible also contradicts this perspective and so does the current stage of world events! The heart of man is the issue. Sin is the issue. Without Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of sin that He gives, we have no answers. We have no hope for tomorrow. But with Christ, we have peace in our hearts and in our homes, even in the midst of tragedy and trials. I encourage you to go right to the source, to deal with the truth of Scripture, and to dig up the root problem. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” The answer is Jesus Christ! Not church. Not religion. Not psychology. The answer is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” This gives solutions to our problems, answers for our questions and hope for tomorrow. www.mitchellfamilybooks.com R.G.

Rallying the troops JIM FLAHERTY Told supporters the ‘province is more than Toronto’. Municipality instead adds nine new and used buses with its own funds By Carly Foster and Jane McDonald Staff Writers DURHAM –Whitby will buy three used buses to add to the six new ones on the way to the Town. Mayor Marcel Brunelle told Whitby Council recently that the purchases would not be made via a debenture, a loan from Durham Region. "The three vehicles we are buying outright," Mayor Brunelle said. The Town will spend $565,000 to buy the three used buses from Coach Cana- da. Town treasurer Ken Nix said the six new buses are on order with deliv- ery expected this summer. "Council decided to do it (finance the new buses) internally by using some of our funds and some from the Region and other sources, but pri- marily with funds from the Region," he said. Whitby had originally asked the Region of Durham for a $1.9 million debenture to pay for the six new buses. Questions were raised as Whit- by - along with every municipality in Durham - receives GO Transit money that is supposed to be used for tran- sit-related projects. In 2002 and 2003, Whitby received $3 million in these funds, which they used for renovations to the Region- owned but Whitby-leased Centennial Building on Centre Street. The bal- ance is in a reserve fund. "At no time has this council (sought a) debenture for buses," Mayor Brunelle stated at the July 12 Council meeting. "It was just a discussion." Yet several regional finance com- mittee reports from the last three months show Whitby originally asked for an $11.7 million debenture: $9.8 million to renovate the main branch library on Dundas Street, and $1.9 million for buses. The bus debenture request was pulled while the Region and Whitby met to discuss the issue. At a recent regional council meet- ing, Regional Chairman Roger An- derson apologized to the Town of Whitby for comments made by Clar- ington Mayor John Mutton, who chairs the finance committee. Mayor Mutton called Whitby's debenture request "an illegal use of transit funds." "There is some suggestion that what they (Whitby) did was illegal," Mr. Anderson said, adding the com- ments were taken out of context. "To Whitby, I say sorry for the wordsmithing," and residents should know you did nothing wrong. Mr. Anderson's apology was a de- parture from his comments at a June 9 regional finance committee meet- ing, when he criticized Whitby for suggesting a debenture request. "This is a debenture that really shouldn't even be happening," he said. "I really don't want this to come down to Whitby challenging the Re- gion's authority." The three used buses will come with a $700,000 annual operating cost, a report from Whitby's public works committee said. They are expected to be in service for 10 years. Council had requested that the de- partment should study how to im- prove transit services along the Ross- land Road and Taunton Road corri- dors. In its report to Council, public works said a short-term solution would be to lease three buses. But it determined leasing and annual oper- ation costs would exceed $1-million with no long-term commitment. The second option - to buy three more new buses - would cost almost $1.5 million with an annual operating cost of $730,000, but last 18 years. The ages of the Town's buses are of concern, states the report, because the current average age of the fleet is 15 y ears. But from a capital point of view, purchasing the used buses "is the most prudent" and will help meet the late November 2004 deadline to enhance service for the Taunton- Rossland route. "These buses have been inspected by staff and have been found to be in very good mechanical and physical condition," the report said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 4, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P • Semi Private • Driving Range • Putting Green • Chipping Area LICENSED BY L.L.B.O. 3430 7th Concession Rd., Pickering Lakeridge Rd. 1 Km North of Hwy. #7 www.watsonsglen.com 18 CHAMPIONSHIP HOLES, 7083 YARDS, PAR 72 905-655-9187 1-888-854-1892 W a t s o n ’s G l e n W a t s o n ’s G l e n Watson’s Glen G o l f C o u r s e G o l f C o u r s e Golf Course SPECIALSALE Carrier of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at (905) 683-5117.

Their wishes have been granted Region won’t help Whitby debenture new buses ROGER ANDERSON Apologized to Town of Whitby for finance chairman’s comments. from one address - 27 Buggey Lane in Ajax. The address is the head office of Coughlan Homes, owned by developer Jerry Coughlan. "He's been a big supporter for a period of time. We share a com- mon interest in growth in Durham Region both residential, commer- cial and recreational," said Mr. Arthurs, who raised almost $91,000 in total. Mr. Almack was expecting to see the names of developers on Mr. Arthurs's campaign contribution list, but wasn't expecting to see $25,000 from the same address. "It surprised me that there were so many (donations)," he said. While Mr. Almack acknowledges the donations are legal, he wants to see the act changed, arguing election donations from develop- ers could make politicians sympa- thetic to future development ap- plications. What the Green Door Alliance and other residents are question- ing is Mr. Arthurs's position on de- veloping the Duffins Rouge Agri- cultural Preserve, which Mr. Coughlan and his business part- ners own land in. "I made no secret that prior to the provincial campaign I support- ed Mr. Coughlan's projects that I thought were good for the commu- nity," Mr. Arthurs said. He added he believes the land Mr. Coughlan owns on the pre- serve is a good place for develop- ment. "That position wasn't created by his interest in the land," he argued. "I see those lands as an opportuni- ty for development, not to be fully developed, but there are opportu- nities for development the same as there are in the Seaton lands (in north Pickering)." Mr. Coughlan and his business partner Ron Halliday briefly ad- dressed the issue in a telephone interview, saying the donations re- f lect their belief in Mr. Arthurs and the Liberal party. They did not comment further. Mr. Arthurs's stance on the pre- serve is contrary to his Liberal government's, which is against de- veloping the area. "The position of the government in the platform is that (the agri- cultural preserve) falls within the greenbelt area and that position hasn't changed," he said. Mr. Arthurs's opponent in last fall's election, Conservative Janet Ecker, the former provincial fi- nance minister, ran against devel- oping the preserve. She raised slightly more than $50,000, none from Buggey Lane. The land in the preserve had agricultural easements placed on it in perpetuity when the Province sold it in the late 1990s. Those easements are held by the City of Pickering. Mr. Arthurs was the mayor when the agreement was signed by the City, Region and Province. "My thinking at that point in time was a control strategy that would keep it agricultural but it wouldn't necessarily remain so," Mr. Arthurs said. Under the Ontario Elections Act it is not illegal for an individual to make donations under separate corporations. "As long as they are incorporat- ed separately, then $1,000 (the maximum amount) per entity is allowed even if they are owned by the same person," said Julie Stan- ley of Elections Ontario. The City's current growth man- agement study, which has been funded by landowners in the pre- serve, cited the preferred option as the one that develops the southern portion of the preserve. The City voted in June to move forward with the third stage of that study. NE081M104 ©2004. Sears Canada Inc.

The payload is the part of the satellite that receives transmitted signals, then retransmits them at a different frequency. "No other satellite in orbit facing Nor th America has the same fre- quency" as is on the Anik F2, Prof. Grami said. The Anik F2 has two bands that are commercially used - Ku and C - but also has the newly built Ka-band. Telesat made history in 1972 with the launch of the first domestic commercial communications satel- lite. The company is owned by Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE). The satellite will be tested for the next few months, and should be providing service to consumers by the fall, Prof. Grami said. It has an expected lifespan of 15 years. The professor lives in Oshawa and has a doctorate in electrical en- gineering. He's also worked for Nor- tel Networks and taught overseas as a United Nations consultant. "I always liked teaching. It was my primary motive to get my PhD," said Prof. Grami, who teaches courses such as digital data com- munications and information tech- nology at UOIT. He chose the school because "it was brand new, a blank page." Was he nervous seeing his $300- million contribution go into space? "It's very rewarding, especially when it was launched," he said. Donations not illegal ✦ Donations from page 1 ✦ One-of-a-kind from page 1 One-of-a-kind frequency Carly Centre will have temporary home as of November By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM –A new non-profit organi- zation is being established in Durham Region to provide peer sup- port for children and families griev- ing the loss of a loved one. The Carly Centre for Grieving Chil- dren, aimed at children 4 to 19 years of age, is scheduled to open Nov. 1 in a temporary Oshawa location, said Carol Byvelds, president of the cen- tre's board of directors. It will be modelled after the Dougy Center in Portland Oregon, a world- renowned facility that aids grieving and traumatized children. Ms. Byvelds begins training there July 25 with people around the world who are starting their own centres. Ms. Byvelds, who lives in Whitby, said her interest in counselling chil- dren began during her time at Durham College. "When I was in college I did a pre- sentation on grieving children. I had come across a video on a place called the Dougy Center, which was started by a woman who worked with termi- nally ill cancer patients, and one was a boy named Dougy," Ms. Byvelds said. "She found Dougy was talking to the other terminally ill patients, like the children, trying to soothe them...and he seemed to be able to reach the other kids through kids helping kids, basically. When I saw that, that was very, very moving to me. I thought that was something that I would like to do," she said. In the same way, the Carly Centre will use peer support to work with grieving children and families. Ado- lescents will use clay and painting to convey their emotions, while younger children will use puppet theatre and dress-up clothing to express their feelings, Ms. Byvelds said. "Younger children, who aren't ver- bal about their feelings, don't have the vocabulary to say 'I'm grieving.' You have to try to reach them in a dif- ferent way," she said. Ms. Byvelds said there are similar agencies in Durham Region that sup- port children in need, but very few that are aimed at those as young as 4 years old. She said the area has a lot of closed and time-limited groups - temporary training sessions occur- ring only for a few weeks. However, Carly Centre will be open all year. "I'd like to see the centre be avail- able for all the kids here in Durham Region, and beyond. Anyone who feels they can get to the centre for our help, that's what we'd like to do," she said. "We'd like to offer the support to the kids free of charge, to the parents and their families." The centre will open temporarily in Oshawa this fall, but a suitable and permanent location has not been found yet. On July 17, a yard sale at Oshawa Airport raised more than $1,100 to support the Carly Centre, Ms. Byvelds said. Donations are wel- come, but the centre is unable to issue any income tax receipts as it waits to receive charity status desig- nation.

By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM –Women in Ajax and Pick- ering now have another option when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth. Women in the area can have a home birth with the aide of a midwife after the opening of the Sages-Femmes Rouge Valley Midwives practice in Pickering. The practice opened earlier this month to serve women in Ajax, Pick- ering and southeast Scarborough after receiving funding from the Min- istry of Health. Lisa Weston is one of the two mid- wives at the practice. She explained the benefit for local women. "To be able to provide women with care that reinforces birth as being a normal part of a woman's life, not a medical condition," she said. "We pro- vide all of the care during the preg- nancy as well as the labour and deliv- ery, and all of the care for the mother and baby following the birth." Ms. Weston has been a midwife for two years and has been involved in hundreds of deliveries. She said more and more women are choosing mid- wives instead of physicians or obste- tricians. Last year 8,000 women gave birth with the aid of a midwife in Ontario and many more were on a waiting list, she said. "Because our care is so personal and personalized we're limited in the number of women we can take on at one time," she said. Midwives are involved in a pregnan- cy as early as possible and provide continuous support and care through the labour, birth and postpartum. If during the course of the pregnancy there were concerns or complications, the woman would be referred to a doctor. Ms. Weston and fellow registered midwife Carolynn Prior are currently in discussions to get admitting privi- leges at both the Centenary and Ajax sites of the Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem. This way women who feel more comfortable in a hospital or those having complications can still use a midwife for their delivery. They are also in negotiations to add two more midwives to the practice. The practice already has some clients, with the first woman due next week. Ms. Weston noted midwives don't deliver babies, but rather they catch them. "The woman does all of the work," she said.

Credit cards, debit cards, library cards, book club cards, organ donor cards, baseball cards...like I said, a lot of cards. Some are more useful than others, but there are a couple in there that just make me shake my head. Do you know I actually have a Cancer Card? I do. I'm not really sure why, but I have one. Every time I go to the hos- pital for chemotherapy I have to present my card at the front desk. This is undoubtedly an ef- fort to thwart crooks coming into the hospital and getting somebody else's chemo. I guess that happens a lot. I can just see chemo junkies walking in off of the street and pretending to be sick so they can get their fix. Boy, that's when you know you've really hit rock bottom. I know there are very real rea- sons for keeping meticulous track of the info on that card, and I am glad they do it, but it still makes me giggle. Believe me, a card is the last thing you need in order to tell if someone is getting chemo. Look at their eyes, look at their hair, look at their spirit; those will tell the story every time. The radiation people are equally canny. You can't just sneak into Sunnybrook and wheedle your way into a free ra- diation tan, my friend. They're tough. Before letting you into the room they ask you tricky questions: "What is your birth- day?" they'll ask. Or "What's your middle name?" And even if you should some- how bluff your way through that checkpoint, there's no getting around the final qualifier. Once you're on the table they haul your drawers down and check your hiney for radiation mark- ings. Anyway, I'm tempted, one of these nights, to give them the wrong answer, or ink in some new butt markings of my own, just to see what would happen. I imagine flashing lights coming on, blaring claxons and burly ra- diation cops giving me the bum's rush out of there. Come to think of it, maybe that wouldn't be so bad? The other perplexing card that I carry around with me is a Catheter ID Card, an indispens- able little item that instantly alerts anyone I care to show it to, that I have a tube sticking out of my arm. I can't tell you how many times a day I have to f lash this baby. "Neil could you cut the lawn?" Flash. "Neil could you take the garbage out?" Flash. "Neil could you..." Flash. It comes in pretty handy. I think what I hate most about these cards, is that, like the medical gauze armband I per- petually wear around (to hold the tube sticking out of my arm in place - flash) is that they are a constant, unwelcome reminder that I am not entirely healthy, that something is wrong at some level. But guess what? I know that. And I spend untold amounts of energy putting myself in a happy mindset so I can deal with it. I don't need a freaking card to re- mind me.

Editorial Editorials &Opinions WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Letters to the Editor Ambitious roads, transit plan too vague Province needs to consult municipal partners to decide long-range goals Long-term planning is an integral part of managing growth and ensuring the roads we drive, public buildings we use and transit we depend on will be there for us in years to come. That's why it was welcome news to discover the On- tario government has a $100-billion, 30-year plan to in- vest in infrastructure across the province. Since its elec- tion last Oct. 2, the Dalton McGuinty Liberals have been able to take a good long look at the books and decide where its priorities for future spending lie. Of course, the fly in the ointment of such a three- decade master plan is the rollercoaster ride our provin- cial governments have ridden over time. Since 1985, no party has been able to last more than nine consecutive years in power, with only the Harris Tories able to win majority re-election in that time. That means, while the McGuinty Liberals can set up a long-range plan, it's anybody's guess about what future governments - even Liberal ones with a new leader in place - will be able to do. The questions, at least for now, outweigh the answers: Will future provincial governments have the financial re- sources to follow the plan? How will the $100 billion be divvied up across the province? Will future Conservative or NDP governments feel compelled to see the plan through to completion? Will the feds be counted on to take part in the plan or will it be achieved without the backing or a financial commitment from Ottawa? Without a firm, locked-in, legislative commitment be- fore the McGuinty Liberals face re-election in the fall of 2007, the plan is just another report that will wind up on a shelf. It will be subject to the whim of future govern- ments, who will no doubt have plans of their own. What's needed, ultimately, is a thorough accounting of infrastructure needs across Ontario and the means by which they will be paid for and maintained. The Liberals will need to consult with their municipal partners to work out the manner in which the plan will be fulfilled. Once that step has been taken, we can begin to have confidence a long-range vision for Ontario is reality, not just fantasy. A real house of cards New energy initiatives needed for Toronto, west GTA To the editor: Re: 'Durham shouldn't be left out of project,' editorial of July 18. I would like to clarify a few points in your editorial dealing with the provincial government's Request for Proposals seeking up to 2,500 MW of new generat- ing supply and/or demand-side initiatives. New supply, transmission and demand-side initiatives are needed to address the significant challenges that Ontario's elec- tricity system faces over the next 10 y ears. But the situation in downtown To r onto and the western part of the Greater Toronto Area is par- ticularly critical. Without new supply and demand-side initia- tives these two areas will face se- rious supply and reliability prob- lems under peak load conditions. Fortunately, this situation does not apply to Durham Re- gion, which enjoys a strong transmission system and an abundance of generation. The Region currently houses approx- imately 25 per cent of the province's generating capacity with only six per cent of the province's load. In an integrated system like Ontario's reliability is para- mount throughout the system. If weak links in the system are not addressed, the problems will not only affect local customers but can cascade into other areas as well. Locating new generation or demand-side initiatives where they are most needed will reduce costs and address reliability con- cerns for all Ontario electricity consumers, including those in Durham Region. Bruce Campbell Vice-president, corporate and legal affairs Independent Electricity Market Operator Toronto Public should take serious look at messengers' information To the editor: Re: 'Abortion protesters made their point,' David Stell column, July 25. This otherwise superb col- umn unfortunately misses the key point. Pro-life protesters protest be- cause they believe, with good scientific evidence, that the un- born are living, growing human beings. If our free and democra- tic society took an honest look at the information this group presents then it might not so ca- sually sanction the wanton de- struction of the unborn. If abortion is so harmless, then why do so many people have a hard time looking at abortion images? David Fischer Ajax Messengers opened eyes on serious issue To the editor: 'Message important, not the messengers,' letter to the editor, July 28. I want to join Carolyn Neu- man in saying, please, don't shoot the messenger. The message may be so un- palatable as to get "stuck in the craw", but give credit for a gen- uine attempt to educate. A pic- ture is worth a thousand words and photographs don't lie. What have no place in educa- tion are empty catch phrases like, "the right to choose," "con- trol over one's own body," "the fetus as an unjust aggressor" (hardly applies now that stem- cell research is here!). Thanks to the protesters, some individuals may now have material from which to derive a better informed opinion on a se- rious issue. Christopher F.

Canadian Tire has been advised of a safety issue with a similar product sold under the Stanley Tools (S.A.S.) brand in Europe. It has been determined that due to a manufacturing defect, the seam of the saw’s handle has the potential to split. This could result in the blade being exposed, therefore posing a potential safety issue. While Canadian Tire has not been notified of any instance of this occurring in Canada, there have been 6 reported minor injuries in Europe in connection with the use of the Stanley Tools (S.A.S.) brand product.

New Backwoods show opens this weekend at museum By David Stell News Editor PICKERING -To put it bluntly, Julie Oakes and Mary De- laney are crazy. The stalwart members of the Backwoods Players are writers, directors of the latest show by the group at Picker- ing Museum Village this weekend, 'Pigs May Fly'. And, based solely on the passion these two have put into the production, they cannot deny they are crazy about their work. Start with the elaborate script, an ongoing story with continuing characters from previous years, with full his- torical biographies for each. Then look at the cast itself, a motley crew of 62 actors of various experience and ages, and that's "not including three horses and two dogs," Oakes says. And then there's the costumes, arranging the ac- tors around the stage, which happens to be the museum it- self, and so much more to do to make the fund-raiser a go. They do it all for the muse- um, but this is their idea of a leisure activity? "We're making history fun and alive," Delaney says. "We pride ourselves on the incred- ible accuracy and the sheer fun." They're in rehearsals right now, but even with a script, the live action play leaves a lot of room for creativity for the cast. "A lot of it is improvisation, even the younger children, and some of them are fantas- tic," Oakes says. This year's play revolves around two themes fighting it out for dominance, with the battle for temperance brew- ing during two elections in the small town, set in 1875. The actors, a mix of newcomers and veterans, all enjoy taking part. Don Wright of Oshawa is new, bringing a much talked about character from previous plays to life for the first time, a captain, who is bringing a wife home to his town, a woman who will surprise everyone. He enjoys the historical comedy and hasn't acted since high school, but is getting back into the swing of theatre again. "(I like) the interaction with the people, staying in charac- ter on stage, even without an actual stage," he says. His wife will be played by Mala Naraine, of Ajax, and she was one of the stars of the Backwoods Players 'Aladdin' last year. She is enjoying find- ing out who she is in this new play. "(I like) that it's all improv, you get a chance to make the character and be the charac- ter," she says. Oakes and Delaney are part of the story too, as Mrs. Louisa Pickle and Mrs. There- sa Fitchett, respectively. They say they have room for audi- ences of 125 people each evening. 'Pigs May Fly' is on stage Aug. 7 and 8 and starts at 6 p.m., but the gates to the mu- seum are open at 5:30. Tickets are $5 per person and must be purchased in advance by call- ing the Pickering Museum Vil- lage at 905-683-8401. Pigs growing wings By David Stell News Editor AJAX –Enid Roberts has got the bug. The need to paint the im- ages around her is so strong she describes it as seeing the world in a way most people don't experience. "Inside and outside, you see things that others don't," she explains. "Art is just some- thing... once it's in the blood, you can't stop painting." Roberts' exhibition of 26 original watercolours and oils is on display at McLean Com- munity Centre in Ajax and runs to Aug. 9. It's one of many exhibitions she's been a part of over the years, but you won't find her in any competition. Despite her love for her art and pride in her work, a juried show isn't for her, she laughs. "I couldn't stand the rejection." At 80, but sounding so much younger, she has only dedicat- ed herself to her artwork in the past 15 years, she estimates. She continues to study oils with Doug Purdon and is part of two workshops each year with him she says. "My favourite is oils, you get a brighter colour, I can do more with oils," she says. The Ajax woman once had a local dressmaking business and for many years, was a cou- turier making exclusive fash- ions. She also designed em- broidery and bead work. She left England with her parents and arrived in Canada in 1945. Her interest hasn't waned as she's become more profi- cient with a brush in her hand over the years. "Every painting you do is dif- ferent - you have to know colours," she says. "It's a chal- lenge and you never stop learning." Roberts is a member of three arts associations in Durham, the PineRidge Arts Council, Ajax Creative Arts and Oshawa Arts Association. The McLean Community Centre is at 95 Magill Drive, Ajax and is open to the public Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 10 :30 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is free.

The Rock won 5-4 in overtime. The locals also beat the three-time defending champion Woodsmen 7-5 in Owen Sound on Saturday. The Rock can wrap up the best-of-five semifinal series with a win at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday. Rock wins twice on weekend; puts Owen Sound on brink of elimination By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM —One win separates the Ajax-Pickering Rock from a trip to the Ontario Lacrosse Association se- nior 'B' championship series. The Rock can finish off the three- time defending senior 'B' champion Owen Sound Woodsmen with a vic- tory in Game 4 of the best-of-five semifinal playoff series Friday night at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 8 p.m. If a fifth and deciding contest is necessary, it would be played in Owen Sound Saturday at 8 p.m. The underdogs from Ajax-Picker- ing are in a position to seal the series after defeating the top-ranked Woodsmen twice on the weekend, starting with a 5-4 overtime victory in Game 2 at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex Friday night. Ajax- Pickering took a 2-1 series lead with a 7-5 victory in Game 3 in Owen Sound Saturday evening. Rock head coach Paul St. John says his charges are confident, but definitely not overconfident, heading into Game 4. "It's a tight series and we still have to win a third game. Like every other game in this series, it will go to the team that wants it more. They're a great team and we know they're not going to roll over. We'll have to bring our 'AA' game to close out the series if we can." The first period of Friday's game will be critical to his team's chance of closing out the defending champs, says St. John. "We'll have to come out and have a strong first period. We've got to run them and utilize the fact that they'll have been on a bus for three hours. We have to build up a lead and who knows what will happen after that." What's also apparent in Game 4, says St. John, is the Woodsmen will attempt to gain a physical advantage in the game, something they've been unable to establish to this point in the series. "We've set the tone physical-wise in the series, but I've got a feeling Owen Sound will come in and try to bully back and show they're not afraid of us." After struggling through two peri- ods on Saturday and trailing 4-2 en- tering the third period, the Rock took over in the final stanza. Rock's Pat Vanhooser scored early in the final frame, following a successful Rock penalty kill, to spark the Ajax- Pickering rally. All told, the Rock scored five consecutive goals in the third. The Woodsmen netted a late goal to end the scoring. Vanhooser ended Saturday's game with two goals and an assist. Team captain Jim Veltman netted three goals, including an empty netter, and added two assists. Nick Trudeau and Cody Laforme were the other goal scorers. Other assists went to Mark Craig and Marty O'Brien each with two, Joel Johnson, John Derochie, Laforme and Scott James, all with one. Johnson, a pick-up by the Rock from the Brooklin Merchants at the trade deadline last month, was the hero for Ajax-Pickering in Friday's overtime thriller. He scored in the 10- minute extra frame, his third of the game, with 2:07 remaining to give the Rock the important victory. On the winning goal, Johnson came off the bench and was immedi- ately found by Eddie Fines at the corner of the net. Johnson made no mistake on the play. To say the overtime goal was a big one would be an understatement. It gave the Rock new life in the series and prevented the Rock from falling behind two games to none with the series going back to Owen Sound Saturday. "It meant so much," says Johnson, of his clutch goal. "I came prepared and did what I could for our team." But, Johnson wasn't the only solid performer for the Rock. In fact, the team received inspired perfor- mances by their pros on the roster, namely goaltender Mike Miron and Veltman. Miron was at his unbeatable best in Friday's contest, especially in the first period when, despite being pep- pered with shots, stood his ground to keep the Woodsmen off the score- board. He faced upwards of 50 shots in the game. "He bailed us out time after time. He was phenomenal," says St. John. And, Veltman continued to be the Rock's anchor on defence, not to mention his ability to get to loose balls and start the Rock running in transition. All told, the veteran as- sisted on three of the five Rock goals. "That's why he's the greatest play- er in the world," says St. John of Velt- man's performance on Friday. "He leads by example." Bill McLean also came up with a solid effort, scoring two goals, both coming while the Rock were short- handed. Other assists went to Fines, Trudeau and Steve Dunn.

Sports Briefs AUGUST 4, 2004 Ajax girls find winning twice the fun AJAX —The Ajax United Magic 93 girls' rep soccer team doubled its pleasure by taking two championships, including one in the U.S., over the last two weeks. Most recently, the Magic captured the Ajax Soccer Club Tournament crown last weekend with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Barrie Spirit. Barrie opened up the scoring midway through the first half, but the Magic squad tied the game before the half. Ajax scored the lone goal in the second half. In the semifinals, the Magic defeated a strong and determined Ajax Thunder squad 6-2. In preliminary games, the Magic de- feated Peterborough Power, Markham Lightning, and Ajax United Eagles all by a score of 7-0. Ajax travelled to the U.S. to compete in the Greece Cobras Soccer Tournament in Rochester, New York July 11. In the final, the Magic handed the host Greece Cobras a 4-0 defeat. En route to the final, the Magic defeat- ed U.S. teams in fine fashion, beginning with a 7-0 rout of Second to None from Pennsylvania. In Game 2, the Ajacians struck down the Penfield Strikers 8-1. The Magic finished pool play by beating the Lockport Lightning 7-1. Te am members are Erin Lee, Cassan- dra Wiltshire, Sydney O'Neill, Emily Greenop, Sydney Melvin, Jessica Sauer, Emily Hutton, Julianne Lindeblom, Abby Riley, Danielle Paris, Leah Semeniuk, Kait- lyn Church, Kendra Wait, Victoria For- musa, Chelsea Santos and Vanessa Morra. Ajax Lightning romps to soccer tourney title AJAX — The Ajax United Lightning Shoppers Drug Mart girls' under-nine rep soccer team was at its stingiest — while also scoring at a frenetic pace — in cap- turing the title at the Caledon Soccer Tour- nament recently. The Lightning defence didn't allow a single goal in six games, while the offence scored a whopping 46 goals. The United under-nines blitzed Brams United from Brampton 14-0 to nail down the championship. The Lightning dropped the Oakville Blast 5-0 in the semifinal. The girls domi- nated the game for the opening 11 minutes but couldn't find the back of the net. Even- tually, the Ajax squad erupted for two quick goals and didn't look back. The Lightning finished first in their pool with a 3-0 round-robin record. The Aja- cians whipped North Mississauga 12-0 in the opener. In Game 2, Ajax grounded a big and physical Erin Mills Eagles squad 4-0. Strong ball movement and good decision-making proved too much for the Eagles, which tried to use its size and aggressiveness to slow down the Lightning. The Lightning closed out preliminary play by romping past Cambridge 11-0. Team members are Michelle Blakeley, Madeline Iozzi, Carlie Stewart, Stephanie DiVita, Shaniqua Meikle, Katelyn Haisley, Nadia Ben Hamoud, Julie Devost, Brianne Wa gar, Margaret-Mary Campitgotto, and Jordan Thornton. Paul Meikle coaches the team, assist- ed by Kurt Haisley and Ben Hamoud. The assistant manager is Linda Stewart. Ajax girls perfect at Can-Am AJAX —The Ajax United Lightning Timber Tree Service under-nine 2 girls' soccer team went undefeated en route to the championship at the Aurora Can-Am Tournament recently. United met host Aurora in the title game. Although dominating most of the game, the Lightning couldn't get the ball past the Aurora goalkeeper during regula- tion time. Persistence paid off, however, as Ajax scored with two minutes remaining in over time for a hard-fought 1-0 victory. In the first game of round robin, Ajax defeated Aurora 2-0. In Game 2, the Light- ning struck hard against Newmarket, post- ing a 5-0 win. The Lightning went on to de- feat the Ajax Soccer Club Flames 2-0 in Game 3 and Barrie 5-2 in the final prelimi- nary contest to keep their undefeated string intact. Te am members are Alexia Sribny, Cassandra Sribny, Rebecca Pelley, Katie Evans, Kylie Bulmer, Julia Martin, Aliya Lindo, Amanda Lunn, Krysten Azuma, Nancy Leathen, Janine Vanular and Sharita Henry.

And, the two-time world champion and four-time Canadian hurdles champion has a little something to prove at the Weltklasse Zurich Gold- en League Meet in Zurich, Switzer- land on Aug. 7 and 8. Last year, the 23-year-old city resi- dent ran at the Zurich meet as a tune- up for the 2003 IAAF World Track and Field Championships in Paris where she captured the gold medal and the first-ever world title for a Canadian athlete. She was, however, as an un- known Canadian hurdler, relegated to the 'B' final by Zurich organizers. She won the 'B' final, running in 12.67 seconds, which was a personal best for her at that time. Felicien says she has some unfin- ished business to complete in her sec- ond time in Zurich. "They stuck me in the 'B' race last year and I think I deserved to be in the 'A' race. But nobody knew who I was. I would like to go back there and show the promoters a little some- thing," she says. In addition to settling a score from a year ago, Felicien says it's a must- run event on the track and field cal- endar for two reasons: It's the jump- ing-off point for athletes headed to Athens and it's one of the pre-emi- nent events of the pro track and field season. "It's the biggest meet on the circuit. It doesn't get any bigger than Zurich. People come from all across Europe to see it. It's standing room only. So I'm really excited about going back there," she says. And, the Zurich meet will likely in- clude her main Olympic hurdles rival, American Gail Devers. "She's been very guarded about where she's running," says Felicien of hurdles legend Devers. "I know she's going to be in Zurich. If she's going to be in the Olympics she's going to run in the next few meets. Everybody who's going to the Olympics and who wants to run well in the Olympics will be in Zurich because it's the last chance, the last opportunity to run and gauge where you are. So, I'll bet Gail will be in Zurich." Following the Zurich meet, she'll be headed along with other Canadian track and field Olympians to a train- ing camp in Italy before landing in Athens for the Olympic Games. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 4, 2004 PAGE 13 A/P FURNITURE, APPLIANCES & ELECTRONICS CORRECTION NOTICE Re current Bad Boy flyer, Inglis washer and dryer s/b super capacity on washer and x-large capacity on dryer.
