Annual fundraising drive hits the streets this weekend PICKERING – If a firefighter sticks a boot in your face this weekend, a donation is all it will take to make it go away. The Pickering Professional Firefighters’ Association is hold- ing its annual boot drive Sept. 18 and 19 at various plazas and shopping centres around the city from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Firefighters will be located at the parking lot exits asking for a voluntary donation with all funds raised going to Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Last year’s event raised $32,225 for the charity. “In the past Pickering has been one of the strongest boot drive supporters across Canada and we hope that continues,” said Neil Delory, a firefighter with the association. Mr. Delory said firefighters have a long history of using boots to gather donations to give to charity and now they also use hats and buckets. This is the 15th year for the Pickering boot drive. A.J.

Ms. Hamlet, a Pickering resident and native of Grenada, is part of the Grenada Hurricane Ivan Re- lief Organization, which is work- ing with the Consulate General of Grenada in Toronto to assist the people of Grenada. She said she wanted to help for two reasons. “First I’m a Grenadian and sec- ond my husband was down there and getting the first-hand infor- mation from him I thought what could I do. I thought it would be good if I could co-ordinate the eastern end (of the GTA),” she ex- plained. Her husband returned home safely on Sunday but Ms. Ham- let said those few days where she couldn’t reach him were very dif- ficult. “G etting the news on the radio I was in a state... Not getting any news and not knowing if they were OK really took a toll on me, I was stressed,” she said. She went three days without hearing from him until, finally, when she was on the phone talk- ing to one of her sisters and there was a beep - it was him on the other line. “I cannot tell you how I screamed and jumped hearing his voice,” she said. He told her everything was OK, but their family’s homes had re- ceived some flood damage and the roofs were destroyed. Two of her sisters, cousins and his mother live there.

Wayne Arthurs, Pickering-Ajax-Ux- bridge MPP, was presented the Howard Sokolowski award at the Mayors’ Char- ity Classic Golf Tournament Sept. 9. The award recognizes an individu- al, group or company in the business community for devoting their time, sharing their network of contacts and committing their financial resources to benefit the local hospital. Award recipi- ents have also played a leadership role in fund-raising efforts for Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering and have embraced the goal of improving health care in west Durham. Mr. Arthurs, longtime mayor of Pick- ering before his election provincially a year ago, co-founded the golf tour- nament in 1995. To date it has raised more than $1.1 million to support the purchase of vital medical equipment at the hospital. This year’s event raised $171,290, the largest ever.

For the 2004/05 year, she said the board hired 47 elementary teachers, 28 at the secondary level and 26 educational assistants. As well, she noted that the board opened St. Bridget Catholic School in Brooklin. “Two-hundred and seven- ty-nine students are enjoying the new facility,” Ms. Manson said at Monday’s (Sept. 13) board meeting. According to initial board-wide numbers, she says “our enrolment is up approximately 200 students, mostly at the secondary level.” In an interview Mr. Visser said the board projected a 24,336 student population this fall. And, while more students means more money under the Province’s pupil- driven grant formula, he says that could diminish the board’s declining enrolment provincial grant. As well, he notes it isn’t yet known how many of the extra students are kindergarten or part-time high school students, since they would not count as full- time pupils. An enrolment report is due to come to the board in October. Ajax student one of two new trustees DURHAM – Catholic students have new represen- tatives at the trustee board table. At Monday’s Durham Catholic District School Board meeting, the board’s two student trustees sat in on their first meeting. Katherine Marconato, a Grade 12 student at Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School in Ajax, is a Young Singers member who also sings in her parish choir. Also in Grade 12, Chris- topher VanBerkum attends Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School in Whitby. He is captain of the school’s Reach for the Top team. The students each re- cited an affirmation of faith, also pledging to “provide leadership and assistance to fellow students.” They began a one-year term on the board. Where is St. Mary? PICKERING – Picker- ing’s only Catholic high school is in Pickering, right? It seems pretty obvious, but Jim McCafferty, a Picker- ing trustee on the Durham Catholic District School Board, on Monday night said this year’s board calendar got it wrong: St. Mary Catho- lic Secondary School is listed under Brooklin and north Durham schools. At the board meeting, he said, “I think we’re losing sight of why the calendar was produced. These calendars were produced for the ben- ef it of parents, not for the benefit of staff.” Next year, he wants St. Mary to be listed as a Picker- ing school.

After all, the very fact the United Way holds an annual fall- winter campaign serves to underscore that many people in our communities are in need. The United Way of Ajax-Picker- ing-Uxbridge officially kicks off its 2004 campaign tomorrow, with organizers setting a $1.7-million target in their sights. The campaign will run through the end of the year, with the final tally figured out early in 2005. If this year’s like the past few, the United Way will blow its target out of the water. And why shouldn’t it? The United Way receives, and de- serves, support from so many residents in the Ajax, Pickering and Uxbridge communities. Playing just as big a role are the countless businesses that make lump-sum donations and offer employees the simplicity of giving through weekly pay- roll deductions. Truth be told, the organization’s good work carries on year-round, not just between September and December when the campaign spotlight shines. Whether it be arranging for the donation of much-needed computer equipment for a local organization, or by matching up a woman in need of a scooter for mobility and a family looking to find a good home for a set of wheels, over and over again the United Way makes its mark here in Ajax, Pickering and Uxbridge. It is the annual fundraising campaign, however, that offers a catalyst to all these good works throughout the year. It’s a chance to remind everyone that their donations do make a difference for one in three people in our communities. We encourage everyone to help push the United Way through another successful campaign, to give what they can, be it monetarily or even through volunteer hours. Our community needs are many and real. Everyone’s sup- port is a must. Verily, ‘twas Harris’s fault To the editor: Re: “Back to school and the picket line”, Tony Doyle column, Aug. 29. Many years ago in the kingdom of Ontario, there was an unhappy ruler. King Harris was unhappy because the wealth- iest were distraught at paying so much in taxes to educate the masses. King Harris’s solution was to slash education spend- ing to keep his dearest friends happy: let schools fall into disrepair; make a funding formula so restrictive that schools couldn’t possibly do their jobs properly. When anyone com- plained, he found scapegoats: the teachers. The teachers could see the immediate effect of cuts King Harris had implemented, and they raised the alarm. But many of the King’s subjects, being armchair experts, weighed in with King Harris and heaped scorn on the teachers. Lo and behold, after many gruelling years of King Harris’s education cutbacks, schools started to fall apart, children’s health was at risk in unclean schools due to caretaker cut- backs, and students and teachers alike could not cope with a new curriculum that was out of touch with students. No more the armchair experts, parents went to see for themselves what the real state of education was. With great hue and cry, the parents rose up against King Harris. There were still those among the King’s subjects who continued to blame the teachers. But, parents saw armchair experts for what they were. And all in the kingdom lived hap- pily ever after, except for the armchair experts.

Tr ustees and staff didn’t want negative input T he Durham District School Board prides itself on listening to parents and other ratepayers and using their input to help make decisions. Democracy went out the window, however, when the board in April stealthily approved a new transportation policy, negatively impacting hundreds of local parents with no consultation or warning whatsoever. It meant that sur- plus seating, awarding an empty school bus seat to a child who really shouldn’t be on the bus, was eliminated. Trustees and staff knew there would be outrage, so the policy, with far-reach- ing implications for Durham families, was approved before the media could give anyone the heads up. The board was prepared to weather a fierce storm and then move on. But, after a flood of calls from parents, doubt began creep- ing into some board members, includ- ing Oshawa Trustee Michael Barrett, who publicly apologized for approving a policy when he did not fully understand the ramifications. Too bad he wasn’t part of a board meeting two months later when trustees considered re-open- ing the policy. Trustee Barrett’s vote would have tipped the scale. The board says the new transporta- tion model coming from the Province spells big trouble, with estimates of a $3.5 million, or roughly 20 per cent, transportation grant cut. That, and aligning the policy with the Catholic board’s, as the boards move toward a busing consortium, is the reason for the busing cut. Trustees’ pleas to ‘let the public have their say’ are somewhat hypocritical, since that opportunity should have been awarded in March or April, not September. There were no trustee calls for public input then or as the policy was being approved; only when it was already in the books. When trustees were agreeing to meet to possibly re-open the policy, a parent asked me what I thought would happen. I said trustees and staff would huddle, and board members who wanted to give the policy a re-look would be con- vinced to toe the line. It appears that has happened: after a meeting of trustees, board chairwoman Elizabeth Roy tells me there won’t be a change in policy. So what are the lessons for ratepayers as a result of this whole thing? First, the board has procedural rules, but they can be broken in the blink of an eye when it’s convenient. Similarly, the board some- times talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk where public input is concerned. Mike Ruta’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail mruta@durhamregion. com. Lines of communication down Mike Ruta staff writer Ajax woman charged with assaulting police AJAX – A woman faces a charge of assaulting a police officer after a melee in a plaza parking lot Tuesday. Durham Regional Police responded to a residential address in Ajax after a call from a neighbour who was concerned about a group congregating on a lawn, one of them armed with a crick- et bat, said Sergeant Paul Malik. When police arrived around 3:15 p.m., the group dispersed. Officers pursued several people on foot, managing to track them down. As one man was being ap- prehended in a parking lot on nearby Westney Road, a woman approached and berated the officer making the arrest, Sgt. Malik said. “The female was refusing to move and continuing to yell,” he said. The confrontation led to the woman being placed under arrest, Sgt. Malik said. As she struggled with of- ficers, a pair of scissors fell from her clothes, he said. During the arrest an of- ficer was punched in the face, Sgt. Malik said. The other suspects were released without being charged. “When all the dust had settled, just the female was charged,” Sgt. Malik said. Charged with assaulting police and causing a distur- bance is Ashley Owen, 19, of Ajax. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 17, 2004 PAGE 7 A/P PICKERING 4038 Hwy. 7 905-479-2480 2215 Brock Rd.

B usy weekend for naturalists DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF MURDER TOLD IN DRAMATIC SHOWDOWN By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM – Holding up a blood-soaked jacket dur- ing a dramatic courtroom showdown, a lawyer ac- cused Cosmo Jacobson of being the shooter who stalked and killed Roy Jones steps from his home on a cold winter night. Paul Burstein spent a day and a half earlier this week hammering away at Mr. Ja- cobson, attempting to point out inconsistencies in his version of the way in which Mr. Jones, an innocent man, was murdered in February of 2001. In one of numerous dra- matic moments, Mr. Burst- ein held up the jacket Mr. Jones was wearing the night he was fatally shot. He de- manded Mr. Jacobson point out for him the jacket’s “re- flective” lettering the wit- ness said he’d seen as Mr. Jones walked along the dark street in a new Ajax neighbourhood while Mr. Jacobson and his long-time friend, Sean Hall, waited to ambush him. Although the jacket is em- blazoned with “SECURITY” in white block letters across the back, the lettering is not reflective. Mr. Jacobson was silent for a moment before answering. “I think it was a different jacket,” he said, quietly. It was one of many in- stances over two days of tes- timony in which Mr. Burst- ein aggressively attempted to trip up Mr. Jacobson by revisiting earlier testimony and pointing out what the lawyer said were contradic- tions or outright lies. Mr. Burstein called Mr. Jacob- son “an accomplished liar” who is out to save his own skin by framing his high school pal, Mr. Hall, as the shooter. Mr. Jacobson and Mr. Hall are both accused of first-de- gree murder for the Feb. 4, 2001 shooting of Mr. Jones, a security guard who saw Mr. Jacobson use stolen credit cards at an ATM in the Metro East Trade Cen- tre shortly after a home in- vasion robbery in June of 2000. Mr. Jones was sched- uled to testify against Mr. Jacobson just days before he was killed. Mr. Jacobson faced several years in prison for the robbery. Mr. Jacobson has testified it was Mr. Hall who fired the fatal shots. He said the two friends were merely trying to frighten Mr. Jones into backing out of testifying, when their plan went awry and gunfire rang out. Mr. Jacobson testified earlier in the trial that he was “keep- ing six” — standing look- out — when the shots were fired. But Mr. Burstein, who rep- resents Mr. Hall, directly ac- cused Mr. Jacobson of lying about the shooting, and a number of other details he’s provided the jury since taking the stand in his own defence Sept. 7. The lawyer drew on Mr. Jacobson’s own words in an attempt to show he was more concerned about being traced to the murder scene than whether or not Mr. Jones had died in the attack. “You didn’t care whether or not Roy Jones was dead because that’s the result you wanted when you set out to kill him to keep him from testifying against you,” Mr. Burstein said. Mr. Jacobson answered in a low, even voice: “That’s not true, Mr. Burstein.” In earlier testimony, Mr. Jacobson said he staked out one end of Twilley Lane while Mr. Hall waited at the other, near Mr. Jones’s house, the night of the ho- micide. He said he trailed the man, passing through backyards, as he made his way home. Mr. Jacobson told the jury he heard shots and ran through a narrow alley between two houses and watched as Mr. Hall ran by, “busting off shots”. But Wednesday Mr. Burst- ein produced photos of the crime scene, showing a van in the driveway where Mr. Jacobson said he’d watched his friend run by shooting. He said Mr. Jacobson would have had to look through the van’s windows to see what he said he’d witnessed. “I’m going to suggest to you, Mr. Jacobson, you did not see any of what you claim from standing in that position,” Mr. Burstein said. “Well, I’m telling you,” Mr. Jacobson replied, “I seen it.” The lawyer also showed the jury crime scene photos depicting binoculars and a set of keys — items Mr. Ja- cobson has already testified he lost as he fled after shots rang out — lying close to spent shell casings in the alley from which Mr. Jacob- son said he watched Mr. Hall shoot. The trial, before Superior Court Justice Donald Fergu- son, continues.

A/P PAGE 12 THE NEWS ADVERTISER,SEPTEMBER 17, 2004 durhamregion.com Cricket club a bastion of multiculturalism Gentlemanly sport of bowlers and batsmen continues to grow in town By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — Bob White has spent a good part of his life as a devotee to what is the second most popular game in the world. The game’s cricket and, although it may not be the most popular pastime in Canada, the land of the frozen puck, it has certainly enjoyed a rich legacy in Ajax, with its roots in the town dating back 43 years. And, the burgeoning cultural mosaic in town, he notes, will no doubt sustain the sport for many years to come. The Ajax Cricket Club sits at the corner of Clements Road and Monarch Avenue with its clubhouse overlooking the expansive field that’s home to cricket matches where bats- men face down bowlers on a warm summer’s day each weekend. Plaques and trophies in the clubhouse bear witness to the long tradi- tion of the sport in town. Mr. White has been around for every one of those years at the cricket club, entering his 43rd year as the president of the Ajax Cricket Club. As one of the founding fathers of the game in Ajax, the native of England has witnessed all the great cricket nations and personalities who’ve played on Ajax soil. The field has hosted a number of international test matches over the years, none bigger than a series of 13 international matches in 2001 as part of an International Cricket Council (ICC) Trophy World Cup qualifying event that brought national teams to town from Saudi Arabia, Australia, England and India, to only name a few. The club has also hosted the kings of cricket, including India’s Sachin Tendulkar, renowned as the world’s best cricketer, in a tune-up test match with the Canadian national side in 1997, prior to a game against rival Pakistan in Toronto that year. “When I emigrated to Canada, I never ever thought that I would play cricket and I never thought I would host the top players in the world, having, in some cases, played against them,” says Mr. White. “I would never have done that in England. In England it’s a high- level social activity, For me, hosting the India game and three years ago hosting the ICC games were the highlights of my cricket life. It would be like Ajax hosting a Montreal and To ronto game in the (NHL playoffs).” Cricket, describes Mr. White, is not a game for hot-heads or those who can’t conform to the rules. At the heart of the cricket creed is sportsmanship –– play hard but within the rules, respect your opponent and, after the game’s played, competitiveness gives way to social time. “In cricket there’s a certain etiquette. You don’t curse at the umpire or throw your cricket bat. It’s a gentleman’s game, but very hard played and very competitive,” explains Mr. White, at the clubhouse which he helped construct back in 1979. In many ways, the history of the Ajax Cricket Club is the history of Ajax itself. The club has, despite relocating different times and changing membership over its 40-plus year history, remained a vital part of the town’s sporting landscape. And, just like the town, the club serves as a microcosm of multicultural growth in the area, welcoming all creeds, colours and religions over the past four decades, with the gentlemanly sport being the common thread. Cricket is a worldwide phenomenon hav- ing roots in nearly all countries of the world. To hear Mr. White tell it, however, the sport’s not so much equated with ethnicity as it is how you play the game. “When you come down here there is no prejudice,” says Mr. White. “You don’t look at one another’s colour or if their eyes are green, blue or yellow, you’re a cricketer and you put on the white shirt and pants and go out there and play and play as a team. Yo u don’t recognize people from where they come from.” Like other sports in Ajax, cricket has ben- efited from the multicultural boom the town has experienced over the past decade. Mr. White points to the names on the plaques and the faces in the pictures on the club- house walls as proof to the club’s proud tra- dition as a truly multicultural bastion in the town. “We’re very diverse here, look at the names,” he says as he points to photos on the walls. “We have players who’ve come from England and others from all over the world, Sri Lanka, you name it.” Mr. White says he knows of many Ajax Cricket Club members who moved to town simply because of the club and its facili- ties that, outside of the venerable Toronto Cricket Club, have gained a reputation as the best in the GTA. One of those who moved to the Ajax area for the cricket is senior team captain Geoff Freshwater. He notes he was looking for a club to play for after emigrating from Victo- ria, Australia in 1999. He immediately settled on the Ajax club, and has been a fixture ever since. “I love it out here playing with a very strong and very stable club,” says Mr. Fresh- water. “It’s got a good history and I’ve met a lot of international cricketers through the club.” Mr. Freshwater says the calibre of cricket is slowly improving in Canada, and specifically at the Ajax club, which he refers to proudly as the “best grounds in the Toronto area”. “It’s a good standard of cricket, not a great standard, but it’s improving and that’s the best thing.” Mr. Freshwater, along with Mr. White, is involved with introducing the youth of the town to cricket. Toward that end, a youth program is the renewed focus of the club. And, so far, the program has blossomed to about 25 of those ranging in age from 10 to 21 years of age. White expects the club’s youth enrolment will continue to be strong, but laments that its lone field will prevent the club from ex- panding the program too quickly. “In the years to come, cricket will become a major force here. It’s like soccer, there’s not enough fields for soccer and there won’t be enough fields for cricket,” he says. The club also hosted the first high school games in early June between Pickering High School and Pickering’s Pine Ridge Second- ary. Mr. Freshwater served as a facilitator be- tween the two schools, with the end goal of helping cricket grow into a full school sport in Durham Region. And, in the two-game set between the two schools, he also served as a coach. Alyson Van Beinum, an educator at Pine Ridge who helped arrange the two high school test matches, says the interest in cricket continues to be high at the Pickering secondary school. “A lot of the kids are from countries where they play cricket and they want to play here,” she says. “There are a lot of kids eager to play. That’s how it started at Pine Ridge.” Cricket’s also a sport with considerable support at Pickering High School,” says Jason McKenzie, a Pickering High grad who’s cur- rently an occasional high school teacher in Durham Region. Although cricket has always had pockets of support within the school, including games played by the school’s Mus- lim Student Association, there was nothing of a formal nature. But, a meeting last spring changed all that. “We talked to people at Pine Ridge and Pickering High School and there was a con- siderable amount of interest. We had 45 people show up for a meeting, which is more (than you would get) for football, rugby or track and field. There was an incredible amount of initial interest.” The change in the cultural landscape in the two communities, says Mr. McKenzie, has made promoting cricket in area high schools a must. “A lot has changed since I was at Pickering High in 1986, all of the cultures and lan- guages that are spoken within the school. A lot has changed in a relatively short period of time. And, the sports that schools are offer- ing have to change too. Schools need to get with the times. We should be offering sports that are culturally responsive to the school population.” Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo To r onto Cricket Academy batsman Ganjan Patel makes contact while wicket keeper Chandan Pujapanda is ready to make a catch during a recent match with the Transac team at the Ajax Cricket Club.

Patients and staff affected at both Durham sites By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – Two Lakeridge hospitals are dealing with a sca- bies outbreak. The Oshawa site has been dealing with a scabies problem since the early summer, and now the mites are on the third and fourth floors at Whitby, said Dr. Don Atkinson, Lakeridge’s chief of staff. Scabies is caused by a mite that burrows into the skin and causes an itchy rash on the hands and folds of the skin, such as in between fingers, on elbows and al ong the belt line, Dr. Atkinson said. It’s passed from close contact between people. “(Scabies) is certainly seen frequently,” he said. “It’s com- monly seen in younger people, maybe a school outbreak. In hospitals or an institutional set- ting, it certainly does occur.” But the biggest issue with sca- bies is its incubation time, Dr. Atkinson said. “Part of the problem is the time between con- tact and symptoms is two to six weeks,” he said. “You often can’t trace back all the contacts.” The hospital’s in- fection control team has traced the out- breaks back to the original cluster of cases, and now it’s a matter of controlling it, he said. They don’t have the exact number of cases, but “there’s been a lot” in both patients and staff, Dr. Atkinson said. Residents who have visited fam- ily in either hospital and think they may have come in con- tact with scabies are advised to check with the charge nurse on the floor, he added. Sca bies is easily treated with a topical cream available over the counter by talk- ing to a pharmacist, Dr. Atkinson said. And if one person in a household has the mite, it’s recommend- ed that everyone else be treated. To prevent the spread of sca- bies, bedding should be washed in hot water and dried thor- oughly.

In the 1840s, the Markham Gang was an organized group of outlaws, who ter- rorized Ontario’s country- side with a range of crimes, from petty theft, burglary and forgery to murder. Paul Arculus has spent the last decade research- ing the gang and last year he published ‘Mayhem to Murder: The History of the Markham Gang - Organized Crime in Canada West dur- ing the 1840s’. He discusses his book at a meeting of the Oshawa Historical Society Mon- day, Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at Centennial Albert United Church, 19 Rosehill Blvd. in Oshawa. The Markham Gang was a chance discovery for Mr. Arculus, while researching. “I kept reading about all these gangs and thieves roaming the countryside and then I realized these were the sons and daugh- ters of prominent settlers from Pickering, Reach and Uxbridge townships,” Mr. Arculus said. The Lake Scugog Histori- cal Society president said that what he unearthed was a homegrown 19th century Canadian mafia, that had, up until now, escaped the notice of local historians. It was the ‘British Col- onist’ newspaper, that dubbed the group of out- laws the Markham Gang, after discovering a number of its members came from Markham. Actually, most of the Markham Gang came from Pickering, Uxbridge and Reach townships, said Mr. Arculus, but the name stuck. “In one newspaper, Markham people com- plained it was giving them a bad name,” he added. The Markham Gang was almost a secret society, in which members had to swear a secret oath and make pledges of allegiance. Mr. Arculus believes that may be one of the reasons its history has remained hidden all these years. It also helps that most members were sons and daughters of prominent families, he adds. Mysteri- ously enough, Mr. Arculus found the gang’s jail and court records were miss- ing but many members are listed in the Kingston Pen- itentiary’s annual report to the Ontario Legislature. T.P. White, the founder of Whitevale and a long-serv- ing Pickering reeve, was charged on seven counts, all theft and burglary. Most were petty crimes commit- ted by the Markham Gang, including a horse-stealing ring that stretched from Michigan to Vermont. Perhaps the most intrigu- ing aspect of the Markham Gang was how it quietly dis- solved. Four members were sentenced to death, but their sentences were then reduced to life in prison. Within five years, they were released. Many of those convicted went on to become promi- nent citizens. Mr. Arculus points to Robert Cran- dell, the founder of Reach To w nship. Three of his sons served time in prison, but upon his release, one of them, George Crandell, went on to build a steam- ship empire on the Kawar- tha Lakes. About 30 members of the Markham Gang served time in Kingston Penitentiary, but none of them returned to serve another sentence. Mr. Arculus believes this may speak to the tough prison conditions back then. Most prisoners were kept in isolation in six- by eight-foot cells. ‘From Mayhem to Mur- der’ is the retired teacher’s fourth book. Admission to his presen- tation is free for members and $3 for non-members. For more information, con- tact the Oshawa Commu- nity Museum and Archives at 905-436-7624.

Two people, one of whom was be- hind the wheel of a customized Chevy Vega, face numerous charges, includ- ing equipment and insurance-related infractions, said Sergeant Paul Malik. Police are still investigating as to whether or not the race had been or- ganized prior to the gathering. Some websites dedicated to the street racing culture are used to set up times and locations for illegal drag racing. “I suspect it may have been (orga- nized),” Sgt. Malik said. “There’s some indication there may be a website out there that pertains to street racing.” Police responded to a stretch of road at Thornton Road North and Win- chester Road after receiving a com- plaint around 3:30 a.m. Sunday, ac- cording to a report. As police arrived, they found two vehicles lined up and apparently ready to race. The officers intervened as one vehicle was being loaded onto a trailer. The second car, described as a black Mustang with a white roof, is still being sought. Two people, both from Lefroy, a town near Barrie, Ont., face charges. Rodger Lohnes, 30, is charged with 13 infractions, including racing a motor vehicle, driving with improper tires and driving an unsafe vehicle. He was driving what is described as a custom 1974 Chevrolet Vega. Dawn Sier, 28, the owner of the Vega, is charged with permitting the opera- tion of a vehicle with no insurance. The incident is a wake-up call in a community that has not seen much street racing of this sort, said Sgt. Malik.

Mr. Eade, 38, pleaded guilty to a number of charges in connection with the incident, which occurred on band reserve property on Scu- gog Island in the early morning hours of June 15, 2001. But as he entered his plea, Mr. Eade said he only acted the way he did because he’d been threatened. “It was never my intention to injure anyone,” Mr. Eade told the judge in a low voice. “I was only trying to protect my family.” Reading from an agreed state- ment of facts, Crown attorney Greg O’Driscoll said the incident that led to the charges seems to have been the culmination of long-sim- mering animosity between Mr. Eade, who at the time was a band councillor and a manager involved in projects such as development of the Great Blue Heron Casino, and Clifford Woodcock, a political rival. A drunken Mr. Eade showed up at Mr. Woodcock’s home at about 1:45 a.m. and began shout- ing for the man to come out, Mr. O’Driscoll said. When Mr. Wood- cock yelled back, threatening to set his dog loose, Mr. Eade went to his truck and got a loaded .22- calibre rifle, he said. Mr. Eade fired a single shot at the house. He told police later that he fired because he feared the dog had been let loose. The bullet smashed through a front picture window, passing over the head of a man sitting on a couch and hitting the wall “mere inches” from Mr. Woodcock’s head, Mr. O’Driscoll said. Mr. Woodcock was on the phone with a 911 emergency dispatcher when the bullet passed by his head, the Crown said. The bullet easily could have killed Mr. Woodcock, he said. “Mr. Eade is very fortunate ... that he, in fact, did not hit this individual,” Mr. O’Driscoll told the judge. “He came perilously close to perhaps facing, at minimum, a manslaughter situation.” Defence lawyer Bob Kimball said Mr. Eade’s actions were fuelled by heavy alcohol consumption and hard feelings over his long-run- ning feud with Mr. Woodcock and his family. Mr. Eade pleaded guilty to six charges, including threatening bodily harm and using a firearm in the commission of an indict- able offence. The latter charge car- ries an automatic jail term of at least one year, tacked on consecu- tively to any other time in custody deemed appropriate by the judge. Mr. Eade also pleaded guilty to unsafe storage of weapons and possession of a firearm while pro- hibited. An earlier conviction for assault with a weapon had seen the courts impose a five-year ban on him possessing weapons. Justice Minden banned Mr. Eade from possessing weapons for life. He also gave him credit for 44 days in pre-trial custody, making for a total sentence of 28 and a half months.

Wants 7-year-old son inside small classroom By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM – The mother of a 7-year-old autistic child says the “uncooperative” nature of the Durham Dis- trict School Board is pre- venting her son from getting the education he deserves. Carolyn Borgstadt said her son Cam- eron should have started attending Winchester Public School full-time starting Aug. 10, but instead, he’s continuing inten- sive behaviour in- tervention therapy at home. “Right now we’re trying to transition him into school and the school board is com- pletely uncooperative,” Ms. Borgstadt said. “Cameron is functioning below Grade 1 level in reading, and they want to put him in a Grade 2/3 split because they al- ready have an educational assistant for another special needs child so that would cover the two kids for the day. “The 2/3 split is not the place for a child who’s func- tioning so low...We’ve asked for a small classroom place- ment, primary communica- tions class so that Cameron can transition into school without 26 kids being in the class. They said ‘No,’” she said. Ms. Borgstadt said in an Aug. 17 meeting with DDSB su- perintendent of special education Don McLean, he urged her to consider placing Cameron in the split class. How- ever, she said doesn’t want to put him a split class because if it doesn’t work out the harm it might cause Cameron would be “irreparable. “I think they owe him an education. If they don’t do it now...it’s like watching your child drown and you cannot get to him. We’re desperate. School’s started and they have nothing in place. This child deserves an education and a lack of it is pathetic,” Ms. Borgstadt said. Mr. McLean said he would not discuss individ- ual school cases, but added the school board is always open to meeting with par- ents who are concerned that their child is not getting the education and support they need. He said there are probably between 300 and 350 students identified as having autism within the local public school system. “Our staff meet with par- ents on a regular basis,” Mr. McLean said. “With every- thing we do, we try to pro- gram to meet the individual needs of the students, and with students with autism spectrum disorder the range of needs is huge... the list goes on and on and on in terms of the kinds of programs and services we provide for students with autism spectrum disorder.” Mr. McLean said because no two children with autism are alike, there’s no clear cut answer for providing the perfect education. The goal is to find the most “ideal setting,” he said. Meanwhile, Shelley Mar- tel, MPP for Nickel Belt, is calling on Education Min- ister Gerard Kennedy to intervene and get Cameron inside a proper classroom. “No child should be de- nied an education just be- cause they’re autistic - but that’s exactly what’s happen- ing to 7-year-old Cameron Borgstadt,” Ms. Martel said. “On Aug. 10, he should have started Grade 2. Instead, he’s still at home because the support and programs he needs are not in place at Winchester Public School.” A/P PAGE 30 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 17, 2004 durhamregion.com Thank you for buying Smile Cookies.

An Agricultural Advisory Te am was appointed by the Liberal govern- ment in June to allow members of the farming com- munity an oppor- tunity to speak their mind while growth manage- ment strategies are being developed for the Golden Horseshoe area. The Greenbelt Task Force recommended creating the team, and meetings were held across Ontario dur- ing July and August, when farmers are busy tending their fields. Jim Rickard, chairman of the new On- tario Apple Growers As- sociation, said he doesn’t remember receiving an invitation to the meetings, and John Wolters, president of the Durham Cattlemen’s Association also did not re- ceive one. “If they weren’t invited, I don’t know who was,” said Te d Watson, a member of the Durham Agricultural Advisory Commit- tee. Mr. Watson said Durham is the largest agricultur- al region next to York in the GTA, and he doesn’t understand why the advisory team didn’t invite more r epresentatives from the area. Stakeholders were asked to comment on five key issues: compensation to farmers for all non-farm en- vironmental initiatives and environmental remedia- tion; extension services for farmers; whether to man- date the role of municipal Agricultural Advisory Com- mittees; adequate compen- sation for wildlife damage; and agricultural exemption for woodlot management, land contouring and topsoil removal. “You can’t go to these meetings, you have to make money,” said Ted Eng, presi- dent of the Durham Federa- tion of Agriculture. “You’ve got to be out haying and harvesting.” Mr. Eng said that when he received his invitation he placed his comments on the back and mailed it in, an option listed as the al- ternative to attending the meeting, but he said he did so without reviewing any of the legisla- tion because he didn’t have time. Bruce Malloch, Vice President of GPC (government policy consul- tants) Interna- tional, said the meetings were put together quickly, but every attempt was made to send out invi- tations at least a week be- fore each date. “November to March, that’s when these meetings should be held,” said Mr. Eng. “But these politicians all get paid to be there. When we go, we volunteer.” Mr. Malloch said the reason the provincial government wants information gathered through the summer is that recommendations have to be submitted by the Octo- ber deadline. “The government is de- veloping the growth man- agement plan and they’re look- ing at a whole lot of issues,” said Mr. Malloch. “It fits with the gov- ernment time- table to develop policy in the fall.” The cur- rent proposed Greenbelt Pro- tection Act recommends containing urban sprawl in the Golden Horseshoe area that includes Durham, To- ronto, Hamilton, Peel, York, Halton, the Oak Ridges Mo- raine Plan area, and parts of the Niagara region. “It’s a lot of hot air,” said Mr. Eng. “I think Bill Davis had greenbelt legislation. All it is is talk.” Mr. Wolters said he was not invited to any of the meetings held by the Agri- cultural Advisory Team, but said he noticed frustration from other farmers during an association meeting held Ju ly 27. He and others were given notice of public meetings held in May, but, as with the recent invitation-only meetings, Mr. Wolters said many were unable to at- tend. “Some of us were dis- appointed in some of the things that were in there (the Greenbelt legislation),” he said. “It was about pre- serving agricultural land and No. 1 land, and they said they’d protect it, but they didn’t say anything about how they were going to protect it.” He added only 12 per cent of land is rated No. 1 agricultural, meaning it is fertile enough to grow most crops. “And developers build on all this good farm land around Lake Ontario,” said Mr. Wolters. “It is more profitable to sell the land to than to farm it.” Due to the fallout from BSE, Mr. Wolters said he is worried about the future of farmland in the Region, because many in the beef industry are barely holding on to their farms and may be forced to sell if borders remain closed. “We can’t keep this up much longer,” he said. “The little guy is going to fall by the wayside. They’re bor- rowing against their equity, against their farm. There’s going to be such a change in agriculture, you won’t recognize it.” durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 17, 2004 PAGE 31 P PICKERINGPICKERING 1099 Kingston Rd. 905-831-2665 P L A Y LPA A C E DRIVE THRU Farmers frustrated at summer meetings John Wolters Ted Eng PICKERING – Clothes, toys and books are a few of the items available at a ‘new to you’ sale Sept. 24.

A/P PAGE 34 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 17, 2004 durhamregion.com The year of the cat? Notre Dame Cougars prepare to take the next step in their football evolution This is the first of a four-part series, following the Notre Dame Cougars senior football team as it enjoys the ups and, perhaps, endures the downs of the high school season. By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — Football, like stand-up comedy, is all about timing. And, on this muggy, windy overcast Tuesday afternoon, Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School head football coach Brian Hughes is giving his players a lesson in timing –– as it relates to being punctual and present for practice. As practice time draws short be- fore the Cougars’ 2004 Lake On- tario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) senior football opener in two weeks, Hughes’s patience with absenteeism is also growing short. “How are we going to get bet- ter by missing practice?” he says, while addressing his collection of 40-odd players assembled in the requisite semi-circle. “The players at St. Mary (in Pickering), they’ve won five championships in a row and if they decide not to come to practice, somebody else will take their position. We can’t get our timing down if guys don’t come. Friday it’s for real. The sticks will be on the field. I want you to go up to these people and say to them, ‘you’re wrecking it for me if you’re not at practice’.” Friday (today) the Cougars will go on a team-building trip to Otta- wa where they’ll play in the Weir’s Kick-Off Classic. Notre Dame will suit up against Ashbury High School in an exhibition contest in the afternoon. The weekend in the nation’s capital, says Hughes, is designed to integrate the team’s new players with the approximate- ly 30 returning players from a year ago. This year, says Hughes, back for his third year as Cougars’ coach, could be the best ever for the fledg- ling football program at the new Ajax school, the conjoined north- ern twin to its southern neighbour, J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate. Two years ago, in the Cougars’ first-ever season in LOSSA se- nior football, the team struggled –– mightily. In fact, the Cougars didn’t win a game that season. Improvement, however, came in 2003, with the team finishing a respectable 4-4. The 2004 season, he hopes, will bring more wins –– hopefully a playoff berth. This year’s squad features the most football talent Hughes has ever assembled at Notre Dame. He’s cautiously opti- mistic that talent will translate into something special. “Our potential is positive. We have good senior players with vet- erans at the skill positions. But, at this stage, we’re not paying atten- tion to details. We’ve had critical people away now and then,” says Hughes, who again alludes to his players’ time commitment. Not one to use fire-and-brim- stone antics on the practice field, Hughes is instead measured and assertive as he guides offensive and defensive players through an opening punt-return drill. The drill, however, has moments of in- decision by players uncertain of their assignments. Undaunted, Hughes calmly blows down the play. After getting everyone on the same page once again, he whistles for the drill to continue. Although it’s a veteran-laden team, Hughes says teaching never goes out of style when it comes to young football players. “It’s big-time teaching –– huge teaching,” says Hughes. “Some of these kids are brand new to foot- ball.” At the other side of the prac- tice field, Terry Kelly, the Cou- gars’ receivers coach, works with a quartet of wide-outs, Akeem Foster, Chris Gavin, Mark Fedosen and Sean Amair. The receivers run precise routes using pylons, with quarterbacks Chris Dahiroc and Mike Parent alternately heaving the pigskin. Later on, the Cougars’ big boys, a.k.a the linemen, go through a series of agility drills, led by assis- tant coach Mark Fitzgerald, who’s known as ‘Coach Mark’. And, off in the distance, the team’s punter/place kicker works in solitude, booting the pigskin into the mesh net over and over again. Waiting in the wings while coach Hughes guides his players through punt returns and cover- age drill is Shaun Sorias, a Grade 11 student and a defensive back. He’s decked out in a purple mesh jersey adorned with ‘Notre Dame 2004’ worn by the defen- sive players, and football pants that likely once belonged to a Pickering High School Trojan. Even though he’s a senior, he’s a newcomer to football. Shaun’s football has been limited to just neighbourhood games, but he wants to try it for at least a year before graduation. “I tried out because it’s the only sport I thought I would be able to be good at,” says the engaging 16- year-old. “I’m already a senior, so I wanted to do something in sports before I was done high school.” Shaun started his football od- yssey late in his Grade 10 year, signing on for the team, paying his fees and then hitting the weight room. He admits he hasn’t done much by way of training during the summer months. He notes the practices, which started the first day of school, have been gruelling yet fun. “I’ve adapted pretty well. It’s tough, but it’s football. You’ve got to be willing to put up with it,” he says. His job, says Shaun, is patrol- ling the left side of the field in the defensive secondary. He hopes his speed and strength will deter enemy receivers from making a pass reception on his watch. Shaun’s undaunted by the phys- ical, brutish nature of football. When asked if he’s afraid of get- ting hurt, he shakes his head. A teammate interjects: “Our coach always asked us if we’re hurt or injured. If you’re hurt you can still play; if you’re injured we’ll get you a stretcher.” Even the thought of the recent death of a western Ca- nadian teenager to head-on-head contact during a drill in practice doesn’t deter him. “Well, it’s in the back of my mind,” Shaun concedes. “I’m more concerned about getting hurt in practice than in a game.” One of the veterans on the squad, 18-year-old Chris Gavin, is strangely with- out equipment. He is, however, running pass routes with the wide receivers at practice. Up to a few hours ago, he wasn’t sure if he was going to be allowed to play football this year. He explains Notre Dame administration had deemed he had only returned to the school to play football this year. Chris convinced them otherwise, saying he was back to upgrade his Grade 12 marks this semester. And, if there was a little football to be played, so much the better. In a meeting with a school vice-principal, he says everything was ironed out. So, he’s a Cougar once more. Chris has seen it all, the ups and downs, the losing and, thankfully, a measure of winning football last season — all of which gives him great hope for the 2004 campaign. “We have a lot of returning veterans and a lot of the rookies, after three or four practices, have looked pretty decent,” he opines. He concedes the team will have its work cut out for it this season in order to compete with the cream of the league, notably the St. Mary Monarchs. Notre Dame, like other Durham Region teams, has had little or no success against the pe- rennial champion Monarchs. He’s not sure if that string of futility will end this season. “Even if we can score a couple of points on them — that would be better than nothing,” says Chris. To finish off a spirited prac- tice, Hughes has the play- ers run for the far fences –– not once, but twice. Some complete the test of stamina with ease; others huff, puff and can barely put one foot in front of the other at the end of the conditioning stint. Unfortu- nately for the stragglers, there’s plenty more running to be done prior to the Cougars’ first league game — against neighbouring J. Clarke Richardson on Oct. 1.

If interested call Ted at 905-831-5865 or Cassidy & Co. at 905-619-1270 Tykes settle for tie with Stampeders DURHAM — The Ajax- Pickering Dolphins Football Club’s peewee and atom teams rolled past Burling- ton, with the tykes coming back with some late-game heroics to salvage a tie with the Stampeders in action at Pickering’s Kinsmen Park on Sunday. The peewees improved its Central Ontario Minor Football League record to a perfect 5-0 with a 44-38 vic- tory over a strong Burling- ton team. Meanwhile, the atoms held off the Stamps for its fifth win in a row in a 16-6 victory. The tykes’ record went to 3-1-1 after a come-from-behind 24-24 draw with Burlington. All three teams take the field against the Scarbor- ough Thunder at Kinsmen Park on Sunday, with the tyke game at 9:30 a.m., fol- lowed by the atoms at 11:30 a.m. and the peewees at 1:30 p.m. In the peewee game against Burlington, the Dol- phins’ special teams were the difference as Kyle Goffe and David McIlravey each returned Stampeder kick- offs for touchdowns. The Dolphins opened the scoring on a well-designed sweep with running back Jordan Nguyen and receiver Brandon Wood throwing key lead blocks to enable wide receiver Goffe to score on a 55-yard scamper for the opening drive. Quarterback Tosh Mill- er-Francis completed a 65-yard pass-and-run play to Goffe. The Stampeders replied with a huge run of their own and the show was on. The Dolphins’ kept pace with a 45-yard pass-and- run play from Miller-Francis to David Delgado. The final and winning touchdown was scored on a 30-yard run by running back Clayton Robichaud. The Stampeders attempt- ed to tie the contest with the ball on the Dolphins’ 30-yard line and five sec- onds remaining. The pass attempt, however, was in- tercepted by defensive back Delgado to end the contest. In contrast to the peewee contest, the atom game was a defensive battle, with the Dolphins’ defence holding firm throughout the after- noon. Defensive standout Adri- an Williamson recorded several tackles and a couple of sacks. Shane ‘Colonel’ Lock, Rob Sinclair, Greg Fa rrell, Jelane Roberts and Dillon Campbell played both sides of the ball and recorded several big tackles apiece. Alyx McMillan and Delino Smith, who played briefly on defence, each re- corded interceptions. Sandy Scotland was a stalwart on the defensive line. Running back Tyler Gray- er rushed for several key first downs and scored a touch- down. Quarterback Mikhael Cadiz and receiver Delino Smith hooked up on many occasions, including a 30- yard touchdown reception. On the ground, Kareem Tucker, Cole Tudor and Dil- lon ‘Little Earl’ Campbell moved the ball throughout the game. Campbell and Tucker each recorded key rushes for first downs. Meanwhile, the Dolphins tykes rallied in the final quarter to pull even with the rival Stampeders. With Burlington leading 24-15 in the fourth quarter, Dol- phins’ running back Denver Wright scored a touchdown to make the score 24–21. The point-after team com- pleted the three-point con- version to tie the game at 24-24. The Dolphins had a chance to win it after the defence came up big again causing a turnover with only minutes remaining. The of- fence took the field and ran the ball to the Burlington 45-yard line with only 20 seconds to go. Running back Denver Wright ran the ball on a sweep to the right and was tackled inside the Burlington 10-yard line before being forced out of bounds at the same time that the clock ran out. The Dolphins recorded two first-quarter touch- downs. Wright opened the scoring on an off-tackle run to the right side that went for a major score. Quarterback Michael Stobbart scored later on a keeper play to put Ajax-Pickering in front 12-0. The three-point conversion was good thanks to the spe- cial team led by Stobbart placing the ball, long snap- per Jackson Harding and kicker Omar Smith making the score 15-0 at the end of the opening quarter. The Burlington offence made some adjustments and managed to score an unconverted touchdown in the second quarter to make the score 15-6 at the half. The Dolphins’ offence was unable to adjust to Bur- lington’s defensive changes through the third quarter and Burlington scored again to bring the score to 15-12 at the end of the quarter. Bur- lington scored two quick unconverted touchdowns early in the fourth quarter to take a 24-15 lead. Free safety Conrad Griz- zle led the team’s tackle stats with 12 for the game. Linebackers Alex Horodnyk and Dondre Wright were each responsible for five tackles on the day. Players of the game were the con- vert team led by Stobbart, Harding and Smith, offen- sive linemen Kevin Dubra, Kevin Rose, Cameron Tay- lor, Raekwon Grant, Jaylan Guthrie, Ryan Murley, Tyler Leclair as well as Wright and Horodnyk. 851837_036_MZOD4_1852 ▲No payments for 90 days applies to Purchase Finance offers on new 2004 Mazda vehicles and 2005 Mazda Tribute.No interest charges will apply during the first 60 days of the finance contract.
