A 20-year-old intern at a down- town bank was walking on Front Street just after 8 a.m. Wednes- day when suddenly she was grabbed by a man who threw his arm around her neck and pointed a gun to her head. For the next 40 minutes they stood that way, in front of Union Station, the point of entry to the city’s business dis- trict for thousands of commuters who make their way to work downtown each morning. The young woman was Nicole Regis, daughter of Ontario Court Judge Greg Regis, a former Durham prosecutor who now sits on the bench in Oshawa. The man was Sugston Anthony (Tony) Brookes, an out-of-work chef who was going through a di- vorce from his wife of 18 years. The two Ajax residents stood on the sidewalk, surrounded by To ronto police officers, while the normally bustling street around them ground to a halt. Incoming GO commuters were hustled out an alternative exit from Union Station as the tense stand-off continued under the early morn- ing sun. When it did end, it was in an in- stant, as Mr. Brookes took half a step away from his hostage. At 8:52 a.m. a police sharpshooter’s Investigation found ‘no reasonable prospect of a criminal conviction’ By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM ––A 20-month investi- gation into allegations of crimi- nal activity by former Durham Regional Police Drug Enforce- ment Unit members has con- cluded, with no charges being laid. Chief Kevin McAlpine told re- porters Thursday morning that the extensive OPP probe into al- legations including assault, theft, misappropriation of funds, perjury and damage to property has resulted in “no reasonable prospect of a criminal convic- tion.” “I personally feel some relief on my own behalf, and on behalf of the members,” the chief said during a press conference at po- lice headquarters in downtown Oshawa. “These things are always very troubling to an officer.” The announcement is really not a complete vindication for the officers, 11 of whom are still being investigated for potential misconduct by an internal task force made up of Durham inves- tigators. No charges have yet been laid under the Police Ser- vices Act, but the chief said yes- terday that more than 50 DEU case files dating back to 2001 are being looked at as the investiga- tion continues. ✦See All page 5 ✦See SIU page 11 A hole lot of fun Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING – Zara Lobsinger competes in the inner tube race as part of a Hawaiian beach party theme day held re- cently at the Pickering Recreation Complex pool.

By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – He’s used to speaking on behalf of eight municipalities, but now Re- gional Chairman Roger An- derson will be the voice for more than 450, after being elected president of the Asso- ciation of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). Mr. Anderson received the nod at AMO’s conference Tuesday in Ottawa, replacing Oakville Mayor Ann Mulvale. The organization municipali- ties represent 99.5 per cent of Ontario’s population, and the group lobbies for municipal is- sues with all levels of govern- ment. “I was hoping I’d win,” Mr. Anderson said in an interview a few hours after the an- nouncement. “I ran two years ago and lost a very close race...it was nice to win this one.” Mr. Anderson has been on the AMO executive board the past six years, most recently as a vice president. He called the move to president “just an- other step in the association” and pledged to move forward AMOs agenda. One of the biggest items on the list is the promised 5 cents federal gas tax money. “With the federal government, the message is clear,” he said. “We need the gas tax for our infra- structure issues, and we need it sooner than five years.” As for the province, Mr. Ander- son said sources of revenue are a big issue. “Give us the ability to find sources of revenue and protect residents through photo radar or other sources...and just give us the ability to use it,” he said. “Don’t tell us to do something then tell us the rules on how to use it.” The Province has promised 2 cents of gas tax - $700 million in total - to be doled out to mu- nicipalities, half of which is set to flow this October. Mr. Anderson said being president “cer- tainly can’t hurt Durham Region” but that the thoughts of all municipalities would have to be rep- resented first and foremost. “I’m very excited about the opportuni- ty that this will pro- vide for myself, the Region of Durham and the municipalities in the Province,” he said. Mr. Anderson, a former po- lice officer and councillor who owns a real estate office in Ajax, has been chairman of Durham since 1997.

All we want to do is catch bad guys.” Tom Bell, vice-president of the Durham Regional Police Associ- ation, called yesterday’s an- nouncement “an outrage.” He said the failure of the OPP and the Durham force to completely clear the officers was a “political” move aimed at justifying the lengthy investigation. He was particularly angered by the assertion that the probe had found “no reasonable prospect of conviction” based on the allegations made in early 2003 by a former member of the DEU in a letter to the chief. “It’s used for political optics,” Mr. Bell said of what he called a carefully couched phrase. “It’s gutless. “The reality is, there’s no evi- dence of criminal activity. We’ve always felt (the officers) would be vindicated.” Mr. Bell said the officers - all of whom eventually transferred out of the DEU for other duties after being informed they were under investigation - have been unfairly tainted by the OPP probe and the ongoing internal investiga- tion into allegations of miscon- duct. “There is no profession I’m aware of that faces more scrutiny than a police officer in this day and age. How much is enough?” Mr. Bell said. ‘These people have been put through hell. I feel (the investigation) still taints the DEU unfairly.’ TOM BELL “These people have been put through hell. I feel (the investiga- tion) still taints the DEU unfair- ly.” Indeed, former members of the unit, who have spoken on condi- tion of anonymity, say they fear for their future as police officers in light of the allegations. One cop said he and his DEU col- leagues were told they stood lit- tle chance of advancing their ca- reers as a result of the investiga- tion, and their decision to trans- fer out of the unit as the probe dragged on. Other officers spoke of the frustration they felt at not even knowing what they were being investigated for; yesterday was the first time Durham police have released details of the na- ture of the allegations made by the former unit member. Insiders have been saying for months that the OPP investiga- tion was unlikely to yield any criminal charges, a prediction that was borne out yesterday. Chief McAlpine has steadfastly defended the decision to call in the OPP to inves- tigate the alle- gations, and the parallel probe of accu- sations of misconduct, some of them made by the very drug dealers the DEU cops ar- rested and put in jail. He said the original letter raised a number of concerns that were examined closely in-house. “There was some substance to some of the allegations,” the chief said yesterday. He said he called in the OPP in early 2003 to conduct an independent probe. The ongoing examination of DEU files is based on informa- tion uncovered during the OPP probe and sent back to Durham police, he said. “To ensure the continuing trust and confidence of our com- munity and to ensure fairness to our members, this investigation must also be conducted to our usual very high standard,” Chief McAlpine said. He rejected the suggestion that cops caught up in the probe will be forever tainted, even if they’re cleared of misconduct. “I cannot predict the outcome of the Police Services Act investi- gation,” he said. “(But) at the end of the day, we have a short memory ... this will be behind us and their careers will continue.” Mr. Bell, however, said officers have already been devastated by the allegations and the lengthy investigation process. “People’s careers are de- stroyed. Let’s get that straight right now,” he said. “Our mem- bers have been through a hell of a lot here; 20 months under the microscope, accused of wrongdo- ing.” Mr. Bell said the 11 former DEU cops who’ve been under in- vestigation were informed of the outcome of the OPP probe via e- mail Thursday morning, mo- ments before the press confer- ence at police headquarters. “They didn’t know until this morning they weren’t going to jail, that they weren’t going to be arrested,” he said. One former drug cop con- f irmed the e-mail notification and said that aside from the sparse details released about the substance of the original com- plaint, officers still haven’t been able to see it in its entirety. “We heard about it at the same time the media did,” the officer said. “We’re still not allowed to read the complaint. We still haven’t been apprised of what we’re alleged to have done.” The lengthy investigation and the ongoing internal probe into misconduct have cast a shadow far beyond the DEU, Mr. Bell said. He said morale across the rank and file has continued to sink as the process has dragged on. And he echoed an often-re- peated sentiment among Durham cops: that Police Ser- vices Act charges will now be pursued by a force attempting to save face after a long and costly investigation that came up empty. Mr. Bell demanded the chief provide information on how much has been spent so far on the matter. When asked about the cost of the process Thursday morning, the chief deflected the question, saying the toll should be mea- sured in “concern for our mem- bers ... and certainly the human cost on people directly involved, all the way around.” The OPP investigation focused on 273 cases processed by the DEU between Nov. 1, 2001, and Jan. 31, 2003. Many of those cases dated to 2002, a particularly busy and successful years for the DEU, when more than 350 ar- rests were made during a num- ber of high-profile busts of mari- juana grow houses and other ille- gal drug operations. According to a number of sources, just two complaints were lodged by the public against DEU officers during that time. Chief McAlpine said yesterday that the ongoing investigation will probe whether or not com- plaints failed to go through the proper channels. “Some of these folks did make complaints to booking officers and others in the process,” he said. Former DEU members inter- viewed over the past several months say everyone arrested by the unit was given ample oppor- tunity to lodge complaints if they felt they’d been mistreated. ‘All we want to do is get back to work’ ✦ All from page 1 KEVIN McALPINE Defending decision. Tr agedies prove a need Not enough has been done to protect women, families in abusive situations Just how much more can our communities take? As details flowed from the hostage taking and the sub- sequent shooting of a man in Toronto Wednesday, it was hard not to think about the similarities with the tragic case of Gillian Hadley. It was more than four years ago that neighbours encountered Mrs. Hadley on a Pickering street, being chased by her es- tranged husband Ralph. She handed her baby to neighbours, and Mr. Hadley took her back in her home, shot her and then turned the gun on himself. In Tuesday's case it was Sugston Anthony Brookes, a 45-year- old Ajax resident. Witnesses report he confronted his estranged wife at her work, shot at her, chased her down and hit her with the gun, leaving her bleeding on the floor as he left. He then f led, only to grab a hostage outside, Ajax resident Nicole Regis, and after a 40-minute stand-off, was shot dead by police. The realities of domestic violence have too often hit close to home in Ajax and Pickering these past few years. Along with these two cases, we've learned of Ganesh Raghu- nauth, who was convicted of poisoning his pregnant wife, He- moutie on Mother's Day, May 14, 2000; of Andrea Schneider, who was bludgeoned to death by her common-law husband James at their Ajax home; and Marcia and Danielle Harmon, who were killed by their husband-father, Montgomery at their Pickering home. All of this coming since May 2000. Yet, as Christie May, manager of development at Herizon House shelter for abused women in west Durham, points out, these stories are only the start. The shelter is often full, offering refuge to women and children desperately in need. The story is the same across Durham Region and Ontario. In fact, two women are killed by a spouse or partner every week in Canada. Herizon House continues to wait on a move to its new per- manent home in Ajax. Initially expected years ago, renovations, concerns from neighbours and other delays have continued to push it back. It's operating at a temporary location in Pickering. Even after the move, which is now expected next month, de- mand will likely outstrip available services. Which is why more than ever, support for our community shelter is needed. In addition, vigilance is needed when we sus- pect a case of abuse. We all have a role to play. There's too much to lose by not doing our part. Perdita still makes us proud To the editor: Perdita Felicien is not only Canada's, but the world's sweetheart. She made us proud and will be back again as she is a true individual who will never give up. As a community we are as proud as her family and friends are. This is why, as a community, we must all support our current and future Olympians, for they put their heart and soul into training. So, please Canada, get out and show them that we are "a proud country". Again, thank you to Ms. Felicien and all the other wonderful athletes. J.R.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 27, 2004 www.durhamregion.com We still think you're the greatest Perdita The agony of defeat. Those of us of a certain age can remember ABC's 'Wide World of Sports' and an- nouncer Jim McKay intoning those unforgettable words. While none of us likely remembers what was happening when McKay said 'the thrill of victory' we all remem- ber the agony of defeat: Some poor ski jumper loses his balance and goes crashing wildly off the jump into oblivion. For Perdita Felicien, Tuesday was surely the agony of defeat or, more properly perhaps, the agony of her feet. A mistimed leap at the f irst hurdle and an awkward stumble and fall ended her Athens Olympics, leaving her in shock and disbelief. Those of us watch- ing here in Canada, so sure of a guaranteed medal and so excited for Perdita, shared in her heart- break. But what happened next re- vealed exactly why Perdita Feli- cien is such a fantastic role model for us all. What happened next re- vealed why Perdita is a true cham- pion, a person we can all be proud of. Perdita, obviously hurting in- side, walked up to speak to CBC reporter Scott Oake. For anybody, an interview on national television after what could well be the worst moment of your life, would be like living the pain all over again. But Perdita, not surprisingly to those who have come to know her well, looked Oake in the eye and graciously tried to answer all his questions. She made no excuses, simply admitted she made a mis- take. She said she was as ready as she possibly could have been for this race. Then, Perdita looked into the camera and thanked us all for supporting her. She had done the same after her initial race and the semifinal. What was remarkable about this gesture, at this truly difficult time, was how similar it was to the earlier thank-yous. Perdita, at a time when nobody on the planet should expect it, was worried about us and was think- ing about us. For her maturity, strength of character and heart alone, Perdi- ta is a true champion. And, let's not forget, she is still world champion. She will be out to defend that title two more times before Beijing 2008. There will be many more races to run, times to reduce and challenges to meet. And, make no mistake, Perdita will meet them. Agony of defeat? More like tri- umph of character.

Ajax Aquatic Club coach Matt Bell ran the camp at the out- door pool in Ajax, combining pool time and dryland exercises. By Shelley Jordan Staff Writer DURHAM –Currently awaiting a third reading in the senate, Bill C-22 could send a powerful message to those convict- ed of the offence of cruel- ty to animals. Debby Hunt, an SPCA officer for the Humane Society of Durham Re- g ion said the bill has been through the parliamen- tary process before (in the form of Bill C-10B), and was stalled because it had to be sent back to committee for revision. The current version, Bill C-22, is currently poised in the same position as its predecessor. “With the public outcry, we’re hoping this will fi- nally go through,” said Ms. Hunt The old legislation had- n’t changed since 1892. The proposed amend- ments aim to increase powers of enforcement, and penalties incurred by those convicted of animal cruelty. A press release on Bill C-22 states an offence would no longer be treat- ed as a property crime, and existing offences could be consolidated. It goes on to explain that it would be illegal to viciously, or brutally kill animals, and the penalty for intentional cruelty would be raised from the current six-month maxi- mum jail term to a maxi- mum of five years. Fines could rise from the set upper limit of $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the severity of the case, and judges would be able to order anyone found guilty to pay for the care of ani- mals they abused. Judges would also be given the power to deter- mine if the convicted per- son would be allowed to own an animal again. Ms. Hunt said under current legislation, of- fenders rarely receive a conviction and are free to re-offend. “If they pass this bill, hopefully judges will take these cases seriously, and the outcome will be seri- ous.” Ms. Hunt said approxi- mately 55 to 75 animal cruelty cases pass over her desk every month from all across Durham Region, and while the leg- islation could help give abused animals a stronger voice in the court system, it does nothing to encourage wit- nesses to step forward. “We can’t pursue cases criminally unless individ- uals come forward with information,” she said. “A lot of people see things but don’t want to become involved.” Locally, Ms. Hunt is in- vestigating the worst case of animal cruelty she said she has seen in her 13- year career. Beth, a four-year-old Brittany spaniel was found Aug. 8 on the verge of death, wandering a Courtice neighbourhood in the area of Tooley Road. She would not comment on whether Hu- mane Society had any leads regarding the inves- tigation. The spaniel weighed a mere 15 pounds when she should have weighed clos- er to 40, and showed other signs of neglect including open wounds that Ms. Hunt said could have been caused by long term confinement. Beth is in the care of the Newcastle Veterinary Clinic and has steadily shown signs of improve- ment. “She’s eating, drinking and walking around a bit,” said Ms. Hunt. “She’s coming along and we’re pleased with her progress, but we don’t know what kind of dam- age was done to her or- gans. Tests are coming back and everything is looking good.” While the legislation is subject to constitutional- ly protected aboriginal f ishing and hunting rights, it includes amend- ments clarifying that all available defences to ani- mal cruelty will remain in place for those who make their living in the animal industry. The legislation was in- troduced in the House of Commons as Bill C-10B in the spring of 2003, and in its current form as bill C- 22 March 8, 2004. It re- ceived a second reading by the senate April 20 and will be looked at again when the senate resumes in autumn.

Groen/ News Advertiser photo Nurse practitioners Anne Cayouette and Diane MacEachern are part of the new expanded health services at The Youth Centre. Ms. Cayouette, and Dr. Paramjeet Singh recently joined the staff at the centre, meaning teens have all their health needs under one roof. Teens have their own centre to turn to By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer AJAX – When it comes to matters of health and teenagers, The Youth Centre has it all under one roof. The centre has a new doctor and nurse practitioner to pro- vide free, confidential medical services for all teens living in Ajax or Pickering. Dr. Paramjeet Singh and nurse practitioner Anne Cay- ouette recently joined the staff at the facility. Diane MacEachern and Cindy Pritchard are the other practitioners, while the staff also includes early years di- etitian Daisy Sharma, and health promoters and educa- tors. Ms. MacEachern says the centre is taking on new clients, a referral isn’t necessary and all that’s needed is a health card. One feature is “it’s all housed under one roof,” she adds. “Most of our clients find out through word of mouth, a friend was here.” Clients just have to call to make an appointment. “For the last two years, there’s been a walk-in clinic and that’s increased access right there,” Ms. MacEachern says. “They don’t have to make an appointment. “If a youth comes for an an- nual, complete check-up, we book an hour. We talk about the best way to maintain health.” Ms. Cayouette states during appointments, “there’s a lot of talking.” “And listening,” Ms. MacEachern adds. “One side of the centre works like a fam- ily doctor’s” office. The health promotion pro- grams offered by the centre in- clude Baby Steps, a weekly program for young parents, Mind and Body for teen girls, Food 4 Thought, and Mind Your Health, which deals with stress, anxiety and depression. “Things are going on in young people’s lives. We have colleagues next door to sup- port kids,” Ms. MacEachern states. The centre also does “rou- tine physical exams,” while also looking after some “teen things” like acne. In the fall, the centre will partner with Dunbarton High School, offering a school- based clinic providing medical services. “We’re working with the school to complement the school philosophy. There will be health promotion initia- tives,” says Ms. MacEachern. Getting to the centre’s office can be difficult for teens, she says. “We’re in Ajax and trans- portation is an issue. It’s often easier to go where they are than come to us. The school setting is pretty unique. “It’s not finalized, but it will be four or five hours one day a week.” Centre staff also offers pre- sentations in schools, speak- ing about issues such as dat- ing violence and sexual health. “Kids see us and that’s good advertising,” says Ms. MacEachern. Teachers and parents also refer youths, she says. Funding is through the Min- istry of Health and Long-Term Care. “We can order lab tests, X- rays and ultrasounds,” she adds. Clients can also be referred to a specialist, Ms. MacEach- ern points out, such as a der- matologist or an OB-GYN. The Youth Centre is open Monday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. It’s at 360 Bayly St. W.

Billboard AUGUST 27, 2004 ‘Horrific’ incident is women’s shelter’s ‘reality’ Ajax, Pickering official says Brookes case shows how important agency is By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM – For people who work with abused women, the Brookes’ story is like those they hear everyday. “As horrific as it is, it’s our real- ity. Everyday we hear stories like this,” said Christie May. As manager of development at Herizon House, Ms. May doesn’t work directly with abused women or their children but does hear about their experiences through counsellors. Wednesday, the reality of how domestic violence can escalate became abundantly clear during rush hour in downtown Toronto. Around 8 a.m. Tony Brookes, of Ajax, approached his es- tranged wife Marlene Brookes in the food court of a downtown of- f ice building with a sawed-off rifle. He fired but missed. He then proceeded to hit her with the gun before fleeing. After holding a young woman hostage in front of Union Station for 40 minutes, Mr. Brookes was killed by a police gunshot. Police and court documents show Mr. Brookes had a history of abuse against not only his wife, but also their two children. As the story of abuse began to be pieced together, Ms. May was shocked. “I was horrified that another woman had to go through some- thing like this,” she said. “It hit home to me how important our organization is to our communi- ty.” Herizon House, the Ajax-Pick- ering women’s shelter, is current- ly operating out of an interim fa- cility with 25 beds in a four-bed- room house. The agency is to be into its new, much larger facility by the middle of September. The new building also has 25 beds. Herizon House also offers sup- port and counselling. “We can help them get the legal support that they need and the affordable housing they need,” Ms. May said of the many women who come to them. “A lot of women and children are going through this every day and our shelter is filled all the time,” she said. With the increase in education and awareness of abuse and sup- port services has come an in- crease in the women leaving abu- sive situations, meaning the re- sources available are not enough. Ms. May doesn’t think 25 beds are enough to serve west Durham. “We’re doing what we can,” she said. The new shelter has come with a $4.2 million price tag, of which $500,000 was raised by the com- munity. She said more education is needed - both for the general public and of those in situations of abuse. “All of us need to issue a no-tol- erance policy against abuse. If you think you are hearing do- mestic abuse, pick up the phone and call police,” Ms. May said. Every week in Canada, two women are killed by their spouse or partners. In Ajax and Picker- ing four women have been killed since 2000. Ms. May said there have been several cases of ex- treme domestic violence in Durham Region this year. She added domestic abuse doesn’t touch many people’s lives so they don’t know how it affects families. “It is important for all of us to understand that and play a role to make Durham Region a better place,” she said. Support is needed from the government, police, the commu- nity and agencies such as Heri- zon House. “If we don’t have the support, this situation will happen again and again,” she said. - with files from Torstar News Service www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 27, 2004 PAGE 11 A/P bullet struck Mr. Brookes in the head; he crumpled to the pave- ment, dead. Ms. Regis was sur- rounded by emergency workers and hustled to a waiting ambu- lance. The Province’s Special Investi- gations Unit is probing the shoot- ing, as it does all occurrences in which police actions lead to the death or injury of civilians. To ronto Police Chief Julian Fan- tino defended the shooting as the only viable option in a potentially disastrous situation. Fur ther details of the story emerged throughout the day. Mr. Brookes, armed with a sawed-off rifle, had accosted his estranged wife, Marlene, around 8 a.m. as she arrived for work at her down- town office building. He attacked her in a food court, firing at her with the rifle, but missing. He then hit her in the head with the rifle, leaving her bleeding on the floor. The man then left the building and made his way to Front Street, where he was confronted by a police officer. Mr. Brookes grabbed the first person he saw - Ms. Regis - and kept her in his grasp while police converged on the area. Various media outlets, citing court documents, described a troubled home life filled with vio- lence. In divorce papers, Ms. Brookes cited a number of as- saults on her and her children at the hands of Tony Brookes, ac- cording to reports. Court records also indicated Mr. Brookes served 30 days in jail after being convicted in May of assault and assault with a weapon on his 18-year-old daugh- ter, according to reports. Citing privacy laws, Durham Regional Police have refused to confirm any arrests of Mr. Brookes, or attendance at the family home for disturbances. Local officers did escort Toron- to police when a search of the home was conducted yesterday afternoon. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo To r onto Police, with help from Durham officers, searched a Marshall Crescent home Wednesday following the fatal shooting by Toronto police of 45-year-old Ajax resident Sugston Anthony (Tony) Brookes. SIU looking into shooting death Ajax neighbour in shock upon hearing of shooting Recalls chatting and sharing a laugh A track record of community loss • Ajax’s James Poland was found guilty in June 2002 of manslaughter in the June 7, 2001 death of his common-law wife Andrea Schneider. Mr. Poland struck her in the head with an axe twice in their garage, and then put the body, weapon and other evidence in the trunk of a car, which he parked at the Durham Centre shopping plaza. • Montgomery Harmon murdered both his wife Marcia, and his daughter Danielle in their Pickering home in early 2001. Their bodies, along with Mr. Montgomery’s unconscious body, were found March 26. He died in hospital of a blood clot two days later, the day he was charged with the murders. • On June 20, 2000 Gillian Hadley was seen running from her Hillcrest Road home in Pick- ering with her estranged hus- band, Ralph, in pursuit. Alert neighbours intervened when Ms. Hadley was forcibly taken back into the house and, after a brief struggle at the door, rescued the couple’s son. When the door was closed once again, Ralph shot and killed Ms. Hadley and then turned the gun on himself. • Pickering resident Ganesh Raghunauth was convicted in June 2003 of poisoning his preg- nant wife, Hemoutie (Geeta) Raghunauth, 28, on Mother’s Day, May 14, 2000. He was sen- tenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. ✦ SIU from page 1 By Mike Ruta Staff Writer AJAX — His full name was Sug- ston Anthony (Tony) Brookes. But to his neighbours, includ- ing Ursula, he was ‘T.’ And in an interview at her Marshall Cres- cent home Thursday, she said it’s still hard to believe that the friendly and hard-working man she knew could have attacked his wife and taken a hostage in To r onto Wednesday. When she learned that Mr. Brookes was the man shot and killed by Toronto police near Union Station, her knees buck- led and she dropped to the ground, screaming for her hus- band. “It’s all a shock,” says Ursula, who did not want her last name printed. “Really, we’re trying still to get over this.” She has lived beside the Brookes’ house for about a year and a half. Ursula says Mr. Brookes held three jobs and was always com- ing from or going to one of them. When he wasn’t working, Mr. Brookes spent a lot of time working around his house. “If I was out, we’d chat for a while and have a few laughs,” Ursula says. She says her husband often gave Marlene Brookes, the dead man’s wife, a ride to the GO sta- tion in the morning. Ursula says she never heard any commotion next door and saw no indication that Mr. Brookes was, as has been claimed, abusing his wife and children. Both Ms. Brookes and the couple’s two children were friendly and seemed happy. “What went on in their private lives, in their house, we don’t know,” Ursula says. She believes police should have tried harder to avoid the last resort in dealing with her neighbour, namely ending his life with a sniper’s bullet. Per- haps they could have brought someone who knew Mr. Brookes to the scene to try and defuse the situation, Ursula says. Mr. Brookes worked at Kelsey’s in the Harwood Centre at Harwood Avenue and Kingston Road. But franchise owner Johnson Yohannan would not discuss his former employee. “Out of respect for the indi- vidual and respect for the fami- ly, we don’t want to make any comments,” he said.

Appeal court denies revival of lawsuit By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM –Ontario’s appeals court has blocked a Toronto man’s attempt to revive a $15.5- million lawsuit he launched in 1995 against Durham Regional Police and the Durham Chil- dren’s Aid Society, after he was charged with sexually assaulting a child. The Ontario Court of Appeal ruling, handed down Tuesday, re- jects claims made by Donald Williams of Scarborough that he was not adequately represented by his lawyer when his civil suit went to court in 2001. In the decision, written by Jus- tice Marvin Catzman and sup- ported by two other appeals court judges, Durham Regional Police investigators and a CAS worker are awarded $25,000 in costs for their defence of the ap- peal; the original decision in 2001 awarded costs of more than $235,000 to six defendants, in- cluding police, CAS workers and relatives who first raised con- cerns about the sexual abuse of a young girl. The court rejected Mr. Williams’s claim that his lawyer, Richard Parker, had failed to ad- equately represent him during a 15-day trial in 2001. At the conclu- sion of the trial, a judge ruled that Durham police and CAS workers had conducted their in- vestigation into allegations of sexual abuse against the child without bias or animosity, and that Mr. Williams’s arrest and brief confinement were lawful and proper. Mr. Williams was charged with sexual assault in 1994; after a judge ruled some evidence inad- missible during pre-trial proceed- ings, the charges were stayed in 1996. Mr. Williams launched the massive civil suit in 1995, claiming wrongful arrest, false imprison- ment, malicious prosecution, defamation and negligence, among other allegations. Defen- dants included Durham police in- vestigators Debbie White and Lynn Kantautus, CAS worker Maria D’Assisi, and the child’s maternal grandmother, among others. The decision describes often- confused courtroom proceedings when the suit went to court. There were times when Mr. Williams and Mr. Parker, his lawyer, were openly at odds over how the case ought to proceed, according to the ruling. After a judge ruled against him, Mr. Williams appealed, claiming he was poorly represented when the suit went to trial. The court’s refusal to order a new trial isn’t the end to Mr. William’s litigation involving Durham Regional Police. Last month he filed a $2-million law- suit, accusing a polygraph techni- cian of tampering with evidence, an allegation that has not been proven in court. Kingston Road moon cause for concern PICKERING – Police patrolling Kingston Road early Saturday wound up laying charges when they saw a full moon where there shouldn’t have been one. According to a report, Durham Regional Police officers on patrol in a marked cruiser around 2:30 a.m. saw a GMC pickup truck weaving across lanes at a high rate of speed as it travelled east on Kingston Road. While pursuing the truck, offi- cers noted that a passenger in the truck was hanging his bare bottom out of the window and shouting, the report said. Police pulled the truck over and laid several charges, includ- ing impaired driving, against two men. Ryan Hanlon, 19, of Courtice, is charged with impaired dri- ving, possession of a controlled substance, breach of probation and dangerous driving. Richard Genno, 19, of Ajax is charged with breach of under- taking and possession of a con- trolled substance. Other lease and finance options available.

The University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology begins its sec- ond year while Durham College enters its 38th. “We’re expecting in the college probably 5,400 students altogeth- er, and for the university I think we’re looking at probably 1,100 first-year students for a total of 1,850,” says Richard Levin, regis- trar and vice-president of strate- gic enrolment management. Durham students continue to take advantage of having a uni- versity in their backyard: of the 1,147 f irst-year students regis- tered as of last week, 437, or 38 per cent, live in the region. Most are from Whitby (124), Oshawa (111), Ajax (67) and Pickering (47), how- ever virtually every corner of the reg ion is represented. The City of Kawartha Lakes and Northum- berland County account for 11 students each. Otherwise, students are com- ing from across Canada and even the world, with one student each from Jakarta, Indonesia, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Cairo, Egypt and Beijing registered at UOIT. But most live much closer. Two hundred and forty-three students are from Toronto, with the former city of Scarborough accounting for almost half, or 118 students. As well, 119 students registered for first-year studies are from York Region, including 80 from Markham and Richmond Hill. Mr. Levin says the first-year UOIT numbers exceed enrolment forecasts. “We originally had pro- jected 1,000 new first years, and then we upped it because things were going so well to 1,100,” he says. “We have 1,150 now, so we’re happy.” At this time last year, 910 stu- dents were signed up. Mr. Levin says a little over 700 pupils are reg istered for second-year stud- ies, noting that close to 70 educa- tion students graduated last year as theirs was a one-year program. A look at Ontario university ap- plication numbers is a shocker at first: they’re down at every uni- versity in the province, except UOIT, and 32 per cent across the board. The number of applicants making UOIT their first or second choice is up 55 and 65 per cent, re- spectively. The reason for the de- crease is that 2003 was the dou- ble-cohort year, when the Ontario academic credit, or Grade 13 year of high school was eliminated, re- sulting in two graduating classes. “This is probably the last year we’ll see any effect of the double cohort,” says Mr. Levin. The Durham College numbers are a different story. “We’re actually going to be down slightly this year in college enrolment and that’s a bit of a complicated story,” he says. Mr. Levin says secondary school applicants to colleges are down across Ontario, and be- cause a higher percentage of high school students apply to DC than at other colleges, “we’re dispro- portionately affected.” A/P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 27, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Hitch upyour home Map out a scenic route and let your partner navigate.

A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 27, 2004 www.durhamregion.com TO ADVERTISE IN THE HOME SWEET HOME FEATURE CALL CHRISTIAN AT 905-683-5110 Wood decks are exposed to the elements year-round with very little protection, and eventually those elements start taking their toll. That’s why the fall is the best time to prepare your deck for the ravages of winter and to slow down those signs of aging. Here’s what happens during the life of a deck: A wooden deck properly built can last for 10-15 years. But a decade of enduring rain, snow, scorching heat, sun and wind tortures even the hardest of woods. When exposed to moisture, wood swells and when it dries, it shrinks. This repetitive cycle year after year causes deck boards to bow or bounce, railings to wobble, screws to loosen or the whole deck to sway. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it needs to be replaced. In most cases, if the footings are in good condition and there is no wood rot, the deck can be repaired. Some of the most common deck ailments and remedies are as follows: • The natural process of swelling and shrinking will eventually cause screws and nails to lose their grip. The most vulnerable areas are the handrails and railings, followed closely by deck boards. For loose deck plank problems, you don’t have to remove the old hardware. Just add new nails and screws, doubling the support. Apply as much pressure to the area as you can to get a tight connection with the supporting wood, then use a nail punch to drive the new nails alongside the old ones. While you’re there, punch the old nail too, driving it deeper into the supporting wood. For screws, experts say galvanized, coarse-threaded deck screws work best. • As with wood exposed on the upper side of the deck, the joists which support the deck planking swell and shrink, too. As they shrink they lose contact with the rim joists, affecting the seal. When this happens, you might notice the deck becoming wiggly or bouncy as it loses stability. To reinforce bouncy joists, install blocking. Blocking is the use of boards, the same size as the joist, in a perpendicular manner to the joists. This blocking shifts weight distribution from being completely on one joist to partially on adjoining joists. Another advantage to blocking is that when joists become stressed, they can tilt ever so slightly but enough to weaken the structure. Blocking helps to keep the joists vertical, which is when they are at their strongest. Joist hangers can add additional support if your deck was built without them. And if your deck has joist hangers that are no longer effective, try wedging a slender piece of wood shim between the joist and hanger for a tighter fit. This will usually do the trick. Of course, it goes without saying that a good finish will go a long way to prolonging the life of a deck. Finishes should be water repellent or waterproof, provide UV (ultraviolet) protection and contain a mildewcide. Most decks will need to have the finish reapplied every two to three years. A beautiful deck can add to the value of a home. With regular maintenance and repair, it will last for years to come.

With today’s labour-saving devices, pool maintenance is a breeze and in many c ases they will help you to reduce energy and operating costs. Automatic Control Systems. For the ultimate in high-tech automation - nothing beats an electronic control system. These devices can adjust the water temperature; bac kwash your filter, control pool and landscape lighting, turn on y our water features and even test and adjust the chlorine levels in the water. Basic models are operated from a panel inside the house, with higher tech models available that allow the system to be operated from inside the home, anywhere in the backyard or even from a mobile telephone or computer system. Automatic Pool Vacuum. An automatic pool cleaning system is a great time-saver and has become a ‘must have’ for today’s busy pool owner. These cleaners work on their own to remove sediment and debris from the pool so you can spend more time relaxing. They can even work under a pool cover at night or while you are at work. Cleaning systems are available in a wide range of function, performance and price to suit every pool owner. Automatic Safety Cover. Less maintenance and greater safety are now available in one cover. With a simple push of a button, an automatic cover will completely cover the water surface and lock in place. Without requiring any help from you, these covers will help to keep debris and insects from the water, prevent evaporation and keep heat in the water and reduce your chemical requirements. These covers can be fitted to inground pools of all shapes and sizes. Automatic Chlorinators. Chlorine and bromine dispensers have been designed to save you time and money. These devices will reduce your chemical handling, help maintain better quality water and can reduce your chemical consumption. Available in a wide variety of styles, automatic chemical feeders range from simple erosion dispensers to sophisticated salt-water systems that continuously generate chlorine without adding any chemicals.

To help offer your guests an event to remember, consider installing an at-home bar. A professionally appointed bar can be a beautiful addition to your home. If designed in a unique manner, it may serve as a conversation piece, as well as a functional space for entertaining at home. Building an at-home bar Consider the lay out of the room where you will build the bar. Is the bar part of an overall remodeling of the space, or will it compliment the existing décor? Consider interesting materials for construction - glass vs. wood or chrome vs. brass. All the right tools Features such as a built-in fridge, beer tap, sink and faucet all increase the functionality of the space and the likelihood that you will use the bar on a regular basis when entertaining friends and family. Imagine the convenience of having a cold-water tap right at the bar - saving time by eliminating trips back and forth from the kitchen. Moen offers a line of Butler cold- water faucets that can be easily incorporated into your design. Stock it right, stock it well Make sure you have the right tools to shake, stir and serve up all your favourite cocktails - from drink shaker to jigger, martini glasses to high balls. Buy top-quality liquor and fresh fruit juices for mixing. Be sure to always have the basics on hand to be ready for surprise guests!

So tear down that old wallpaper, rip out that tiny medicine cabinet, remove the particleboard cabinet and start anew. What does the perfect bath look like to you? Think about it. Do you see a skylight? How about piped-in music or a telephone? Perhaps you envision a tub with soothing jets. These may seem like ridiculous ideas, but keep them in mind. You may be able to work some, if not all, of them into your new bath. Start by looking through magazines, paying attention to elements you admire most. Maybe it’s a colour scheme or a set of highly polished fixtures that catches your eye. Pe rhaps it’s the curtains or the way the tub is positioned in the corner of the room that delights you. Maybe it’s just the feeling you get when you look at that photo. Tear out pictures you like and keep them in a notebook. Use it to guide your choices when planning your new bath. Start by determining how much money you can afford to spend on the project and stick to that budget. There are lots of ways to get a high-end look without spending high-end dollars. Be a savvy and resourceful shopper. Colour is usually the first step. Deciding on a colour scheme may be a difficult task for you. Think about the colours that make you happy and relaxed. Try to imagine what a soothing room would look like and pull out those photos you clipped for additional ideas. Once you’ve made a decision on colour, think about the walls. Choosing the right wall covering can be difficult. A wide range of paint finishes can be applied and the selection of wallpaper is outstanding. Read the manufacturer’s usage recommendations before purchasing wallpaper. Wood panelling is another option. Beaded board gives a bathroom country charm and is readily available at affordable prices. As soon as you have a wall covering in mind, consider the fixtures. Are you looking for a bathroom with an Old-World feel or do you prefer a more modern look? Antique dressers fitted with sinks are popular, taking the place of standard cabinetry, while a contemporary pedestal sink gives a sleek impression. Faucet finishes can range from chrome to brass to baked-on enamel or gold plate. These can be brushed, polished or matte. Shapes, sizes and prices vary as well. Lighting is another important feature in the bath. It should be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Try wall sconces or down lighting for a soft glow. Cove lighting and a small chandelier can add a touch of elegance. Candles can really set the mood, but be sure to observe safety precautions and never leave them unattended. Flooring options are numerous, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Laminate flooring is very durable, easy to clean and can be installed over an existing floor, but once damaged, it must be replaced. Ceramic and stone tiles are water and stain resistant as well as elegant, but they can be slippery when wet and are hard on the feet. Hardwood floors have that warm look but are vulnerable to moisture. Carpet is warm and comfortable, but absorbs moisture and can mold and mildew. The choice is not an easy one. Creating the bath of your dreams may take some time, but if you use quality materials and pay special attention to details, you can achieve the results you desire. Oh, and don’t forget to add that telephone. Ideas for turning your bath into a spa of luxury We are Durham's Flooring ExpertsFlooring Experts It's All We Do!It's All We Do!

Strong literacy skills are the foundation for all other academic achievement. Dr. Donna McGhie- Richmond, Educational Specialist with Kumon Math & Reading Centres, says that learning to read and write should begin way before children ever enter the classroom. “As a parent, you are your children’s first teacher, and it is important to begin exposing them to books at a young age.” Dr. McGhie-Richmond says that before formal instruction in the classroom begins, children should develop the following skills: • Book knowledge - Children should understand how to hold a book, where the story begins and ends, that words are read from left to right, that stories are read front to the back and that pages are turned one at time. • Print awareness - Children should understand that the words seen in print, and the words heard and said are related, and that there is a difference between pictures and words. • Phonemic awareness - Children need to be able to identify the separate, small sounds called phonemes that make words and associate the sounds with the written words. For example, the word ‘cat’ is made up of three sounds /c/, /a/, /t/. Children who have phonemic awareness can take spoken words apart sound by sound and put together sounds to make words. This skill is required for learning to read. As a parent, you play a key role in ensuring your children are prepared for formal reading instruction. Dr. McGhie- Richmond and Kumon Math & Reading Centres offer parents the following tips for helping your children establish a strong foundation for learning to read: • Read aloud with your children.

Singing the alphabet song is another great way for your children to learn their ABCs. Playing rhyming games supports children’s understanding of phonemic awareness. • Be a reading role model.

While a date for the hearing has yet to be set, it has been de- cided the deaths of four people, aged 17 to 46, will be examined when the inquest is called, ac- cording to information released Monday by the Chief Coroner for Ontario. All four Oshawa residents were found to have toxicity from methadone as a significant factor in their deaths, the coroner said. They are among more than 20 people in and around Oshawa who have died from methadone overdoses since 2001. The high number of deaths in the area prompted calls for an inquest. The inquest will be presided over by Dr. William Lucas, while Durham Region Crown attorney John Scott will act as counsel to the coroner. The hearing will present testi- mony to a jury that will review circumstances surrounding the deaths and may make recom- mendations to prevent similar fa- talities in the future.

Local news online at durhamregion.com Enter the Hero Backwoods players preparing for Halloween show at historic estate DURHAM –Backwoods Players, based at Pickering Museum Vil- lage, is looking for actors for its Halloween performances at Park- wood Estate in Oshawa. The Players are conducting the Parkwood basement tour, an an- nual Halloween thrill, on Oct. 30 and 31 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. To do so, they need 21 actors - seven males, 14 females - ranging in age from 16 to 60. Since this is a historical pro- duction and accuracy is critical, the group requires one male of Oriental descent, age 30 to 60 and one black male, age 25 to 35. The remainder of the characters are Caucasian. Actors who have or can create English, Scottish or Irish accents are required along with actors who can sing. Actors must be available for the entire day of both production days. A lunch will be provided. Dress rehearsal on Oct. 28 is mandatory. The production, set in 1921, is a below-stairs look, through ser- vants' eyes, at the working of the estate of R. S. (Col. Sam) McL aughlin who built Parkwood and lived in it with his family. This is not a scripted play but a first-person improvisation. Cast members will have an as- signed character and will repeat scenes several times. Audience groups of about 15 will be brought to the various rooms by guides to witness scenes every 15 minutes. Auditions will be held from 7 to 9:30 p.m. in the Tower Room, Pickering City Hall, One the Es- planade, Pickering, on Aug. 30 and 31. To book an audition time, call the director, Barbara Pleva, at 905-509-5184 (leave a message if she is not home). Rather than a monologue you will be required to do a first-per- son improvisation with a member of the audition panel. You will be given a character and scenario at the time you book your audition.

Former Whitby resident on stage in latest Andrew Lloyd Webber musical DURHAM –The neon lights of Broadway have snared 23-year- old Tania Hakkim of Whitby. The former Whitby resident is a dancer in Andrew Lloyd We b ber's musical 'Bombay Dreams,' playing at The Broad- way Theatre eight times a week. During a recent week-long va- cation at home, her first since the play opened April 29, a live- ly, slim Hakkim talked about the experience of living and working in New York City, on Broadway, and about how she got there. "I feel very blessed and very lucky," she said. "I feel incredi- bly fortunate to be working in the industry." Born in Toronto, she and her family - mother Rita, father Raymond and older brother Rayman - moved to Whitby when she was 8. She attended Ormiston Public School and then Sinclair Secondary School. She started dancing at age six and has never stopped. "I was shy so my mom put me into dance class," Hakkim said, adding her mother thought dance classes would draw her out. "And now I talk too much." She fell in love with dancing. "I loved it," she said. "I love music and the joy of music in- spires me to dance. It kept me focused and driven." She danced with various stu- dios and eventually got into music videos in Toronto. She taught dance too, including at community school programs at Ormiston. Once she graduated from Sinclair, she took the dance program at Ryerson in Toronto and then auditioned for and got a part in 'The Lion King' in To r onto. She danced in it for three years before getting the part in 'Bombay Dreams.' Hakkim got the news in Octo- ber 2003 in a phone call from her agent while she was shop- ping at the Scarborough Town Centre. "I started screaming. I start- ed jumping up and down. I was just so happy and excited," she recalled. She moved to New York this past January and has enjoyed the experience and exploring New York. "It is amazing," she said of being in a Broadway musical. "Sometimes, it doesn't even seem real. "It's a lot of fun, singing and dancing," she said. "It's an in- credible honour to be part of the original cast. That is the greatest." And to be a Canadian, too, she said. She's one of 11 Canadi- ans in the show. "You get to New York and there are so many people with dreams and aspirations of working on Broadway. There's always something to learn and someone to learn from." She added the eight shows over six days is hard work. "It's a lot of energy required from you. You have to keep your body in good condition," she said. She keeps in condition, looks after herself, goes to dance classes, sees a physiotherapist and massage therapist and takes time to relax. But taking to the stage is wonderful, she said. It "is a big rush. That's what keeps it fresh every night." 'Bombay Dreams' is a love story about a young man who grew up in the slums and fol- lows his dream to become a Bollywood movie star. Her family attended opening night. That was essential, she said. Her parents were the ones to take her to dance lessons, even early morning ones before school, and numerous competi- tions so she wanted them to see her on Broadway. "For them to see your dreams realized, it was wonderful to share that with them," Hakkim said. She returns home every four or five weeks for short visits but her first real vacation came in Aug ust. "There's nothing like your hometown. It's so nice to come and hear the quiet, to see trees and flowers and see familiar faces." As for her spare time in New Yo r k, she reads, bakes, knits, does crafts and explores the city with friends. "My idea of a good day is sit- ting home and reading a great book and not having anything to do for a few hours," she said. As for the future, she is just enjoying her time on Broadway. "For right now, this is a really wonderful experience. I am hav- ing a great time," she said. "There are many things I'd like to do. I'm still young. I want to explore my options. My inter- ests lie in many directions. I just believe what's for you will be for you." For young dancers out there, she has some words of advice. "Stay committed and stay fo- cused," she said. Even when things are difficult and people tell you 'No' at audi- tions, "you still have to keep going. Even if one door shuts in your face, another will open. Be persistent. You have to be strong and realize it's not per- sonal." A good, positive attitude helps, too, she said. Bright lights of Broadway shine for Durham woman Tania Hakkim started dancing at the age of six and is now a part of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical ‘Bombay Dreams’ in New York City. *Sales Representative **Associate Broker ***Broker/Owner ****Licensed Assistant UNIQUE INC.

INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED Associate Broker FRI/CMR A/P PAGE 28 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 27, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Pickering’s star hurdler takes high road in discussing Olympic failure By Peter Robinson Special to the News Advertiser ATHENS – With the buzz sur- rounding her stunning fall the previous night still the talk of the Canadian camp in Athens, per- haps it was appropriate that Perdita Felicien spoke to the media on Wednesday afternoon with shades covering her eyes. Yet, her head was still held high, and shades or no shades Pick- ering’s hur- dling queen deflected no blame for her failure. In- stead, she took full re- sponsibility and vowed to fight on until the next Olympic Games. “I’m not a real religious person, but I am spiritual,” said Felicien. “This happened for a reason. I was getting complacent, now I’m more motivated than I could ever be. There’s a lesson to be learned here.” Felicien entered Tuesday night’s final the clear favourite after an impressive string of com- petitions leading up to Athens, when she cemented her status as the world c hampion from last summer. After post- ing the third- fastest time in qualifying heats, Feli- cien looked focused in a smooth semi- final victory Monday night. The fact longtime rival Gail Devers, along with a few other top con- tenders, failed to make the final only seemed to heighten Feli- cien’s golden expectations. That optimism ended at the first hurdle when Felicien’s lead foot connected flush with the barrier, sending it, and ultimately her, crashing to the track. Perhaps aware that the whole ‘we’ll get ‘em next time’ approach is among the oldest clichés in sports, Felicien pulled no punch- es for Tuesday’s letdown. “I was 100 per cent (Tuesday),” she said. “There are no excuses.” Felicien also pointed out that it’s rare anyone, especially a hur- dler, goes through an athletics career without hitting a bump in the road. “No great athlete has a straight road,” she said. “It was a big bump I hit last night- it could have happened anywhere, in Paris, in Zurich, but it didn’t, it happened in Athens.” As if to illustrate the point, a few hours after Felicien’s press conference, the men’s 110m hur- dles had a marquee performer crash out as well. Running in the second round, Allen Johnson, a two-time Olympic champion, clipped two hurdles then crashed heavily to the track. Felicien also pointed out that Hicham El Guerrouj, a four-time world champion in the 1,500m, fi- nally won his first Olympic title on the very same night her quest fell short. The Moroccan stormed to victory less than an hour after Felicien’s race. “Delayed gratification,” said Felicien. While crediting race winner Joanna Hayes’ remarkable gold medal run, Felicien took excep- tion to a suggestion by Hayes that she wasn’t mentally pre- pared to race. “For her to speculate about my mental state,” said Felicien. “She has no clue.” On the other side of the emo- tional scale, there was another runner that Felicien felt far differ- ent for. Russian Irina Shevchenko’s race ended when the Canadian tumbled to the track and encroached into her lane. Felicien said she looked for- ward to an opportunity to speak with the Russian. “She didn’t have a chance,” said Felicien. “I need to speak with her somehow. She must be so upset with me, I would be upset with me.” Felicien is nursing an internal heel bruise from Tuesday night’s mishap. The prognosis is good, but there is no definitive timetable for her return to the track. Felicien said that she is eyeing the IAAF Grand Prix Final on Sept. 18 as a return date. OLYMPIC NOTES:Picker- ing’s Bernard Luttmer finished his first trip to the Olympics with a 29th overall placing in the laser sailing category. Luttmer fin- ished strong, with his best show- ing coming in the ninth race when he was ninth. He ended the competition with 32nd and 30th placings in the 10th and 11th races respectively. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 27, 2004 PAGE 29 A/P 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 & DINNER PACKAGE DAILY GOLF RATES Weekdays.......$52 Weekends......$57 Mon. to Fri...$37 Sat., Sun. & Holidays...$42 Twilight.......1/2 Price taxes included Sports FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ AL RIVETT, SPORTS EDITOR 905-683-5110 EXT. 250 ‘This happened for a reason’Ajax riders show real jump AJAX – Ajax riders posted top marks at the recent Central Ontario Regional Show Jumping Finals at Aud- ley Road Stables in Ajax.

Silver bat golden for Pickering PICKERING — The Pickering Red Sox mosquito rep baseball team dis- played golden teamwork to capture the title at the prestigious Newmarket Silver Bat Tournament recently. The Sox went undefeated with a 6-0 record throughout the tourna- ment, doubling Birchmount 6-3 in the final. To get to the final, the Red Sox played bombs away with the Barrie Red Sox, romping to a 16-0 victory. In preliminary-round play, the Sox opened with a 12-7 win over the Brampton Braves. In Game 2, the Sox downed Toronto Greenwood 7-3. In the third game, Pickering defeated Barrie 10-3, and then finished out round-robin action with a 19-4 drub- bing of East York. The Sox combined teamwork, pitching, hitting and defence to achieve the Silver Bat crown. Anson Henry gets a taste of Olympic competition tonight on the Athens track. Henry ready for takeoff By Peter Robinson Special to the News Advertiser ATHENS –Anson Henry's long wait to start the Athens Olympic Games is over. The 25-year-old Pickering sprinter takes his place on the Canadian men's 4-x-100 metre relay team today (Friday), with his semifinal heat scheduled for 1:10 p.m. "We want to win our heat," said Henry. "We feel like we have a good draw. Running in Lane 8 we are going to be able to see each other, but we feel pretty good about ourselves." Henry has been in Athens since the beginning of Olympic competition, waiting his turn after failing to qualify to compete in the 100m sprint. The Canadian team, in running order, is Nicolas Macrozonaris, Henry, Charles Allen and Pierre Browne. All four - minus Allen, who was still alive in the 110m hurdles competition, qualifying for the semifinals - plus the team's two spares were at practice ahead of Friday's race. The top three teams in the two heats qualify for Saturday's final, along with the two fastest remaining teams. "Anson and I have been doing some great exchanges," said Macrozonaris. "In all the practice this week, we haven't dropped the baton once." "The man in charge of the team, former national team member Glenroy Gilbert, says he expects a good race from Henry on Friday and beyond into Satur- day's final. "Pierre's been in there in the 10 0, and Charles in the hurdles, so I think Anson is champing at the bit to get in there now too," said Gilbert about Henry's time on the sidelines this week. "He's looked good in practice, running down the straight and I think we got him in his best spot." While there is no substitute for straight-out speed, technique is also very important. For Henry, that means two things: "I have to give Nic a big target on the exchange, get going fastest through the exchange zone, and get it cleanly to Charles," said Henry. "I have two zones to worry about." Henry said he also is confident his long bounding stride is tailor made for the second leg.

After all, a healthy child will be more likely to learn and succeed in school. Children who are starting kindergarten should have their vaccinations up to date; if not, this is the ideal time to make an appointment with your pediatrician. And since children need good eyesight to learn properly, you should also have their eyes tested—even if they already wear glasses. Children also need to have good hearing in order to develop their speech and communication skills. Hearing is also vital to their social and emotional development. It’s important that parents realize that the term “deafness” does not necessarily mean total hearing loss; deafness actually occurs in various degrees and can be mild, moderate or severe. Severe or profound deafness in very young children can prevent them from learning how to talk. Mild or moderate deafness, on the other hand, will not prevent children from learning how to talk, but it can result in articulation problems. For example, they may not be able to properly pronounce certain sounds that they have difficulty hearing. Students with mild or moderate hearing loss are also more likely to have difficulties in school, particularly when it comes to math, reading and spelling. The best way to ensure your children have good hearing is with yearly testing. But the most common health problem that parents of school-age children have to deal with is the common cold. The best way to prevent catching or spreading germs is by washing your hands, so encourage your children to wash their hands regularly during the day. For the well- being of other students, keep your kids home from school when they have a cold or fever. You should also give your children’s teacher and school an emergency phone number to call in case your kids become ill during the day. Last but not least, remember to check your children’s scalp for lice or nits on a regular basis. If you should find them, be sure to advise the school.
