The chief announced Monday he’ll be stepping down as the region’s top cop Oct. 31, after a successor has been chosen. Chief McAlpine, who’s held the of- fice since being hired from the Pe- terborough police force in late 1997, announced his intention to step down during Monday morning’s meeting of the Police Services Board. “It is with mixed emotions I an- nounce my intention to retire from the Durham Regional Police Service,” he said in a prepared statement. “I am very proud of the service and all of its members and the great work we do every day.” Chief McAlpine highlighted a num- ber of the initiatives undertaken dur- ing his tenure, including increased staffing, new buildings, a revamped communications system, and the im- plementation of business plans to help manage the service’s affairs. “He’s done a really good job,” Police Services Board chairman Doug Moffatt McAlpine’s turbulent tenure nears end Opinion ‘emphatically’ in City’s favour Region told it has no legal position over easement removal By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham has been ad- vised it is in no legal position to chal- lenge Pickering’s controversial decision to cancel land conservation easements. During an in-camera portion of Tuesday’s planning committee meeting, councillors discussed a confidential re- port prepared by the Region’s solicitor, outlining its legal role in an increasingly complicated situation. At issue are 1,500 acres of land in Pick- ering’s Duffins-Rouge Agricultural Pre- serve, which the City, Region and Prov- ince collectively agreed to preserve in a 1999 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). In February, Pickering council lifted the easements on 800 of the acres, opening them up to development. While Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan de- fended the move, stressing that popula- tion projections justify the need for more growth, critics decried it as an illegal tactic. After being pressured to intervene as one of the original signing authori- ties, the Region sought legal advice last month. “The legal opinion that we received is strongly in support of Pickering’s right to plan the City of Pickering,” a triumphant Mayor Ryan said. “It states emphatically that there is no role for the Region in the management of easements. Obviously, I’m very pleased with that.” In a contradictory legal opinion pre- pared for Ontario Nature, environmen- tal lawyer David Estrin concluded that because the Region was party to the MOU, they are able to pursue legal ac- tion. His findings also state that the City contravened the Planning Act, Green- belt Act, and Official Plan, by lifting the easements. It was clear that most of the 30 or so residents assembled for Tuesday’s meet- ing, supported the latter view. “If the Region is going to turn a blind eye and let Pickering do this, it’s ter- ribly disappointing,” said Sandy Rider, a member of the Whitevale District Residents’ Association, and one of the Pickering schools see improved literacy results Durham’s overall public and Catholic scores top provincial average DURHAM — Results from provin- cial Grade 10 literacy tests are up for both Durham boards. Durham District School Board re- sults show 86 per cent of students passed the test, while the Durham Catholic District School Board had an 85 per cent success rate. Provincially, 82 per cent passed the test, written last October. The test is administered each year by the provincial government’s Educ- tion Quality and Accountability Of- fice (EQAO) to determine if the stu- dents have the reading and writing skills expected by the end of Grade 9. They must pass the test or a literacy course before the end of their high school years to receive a diploma. It’s the third consecutive year that the Catholic board has seen its results improve. Last year, students with the board had an 81 per cent pass rate, while in 2002, 75 per cent were suc- cessful. “We’re pleased with our results overall,” said Paul Pulla, superinten- dent of education for the Catholic board. He noted there’s “room for im- provement. We want to target liter- acy development and help all of our students to do a little better. When you look at the results, overall, our students are doing well. The scores overall continue to improve steadily.

Few other details were available at press time. Expenses for 2004 released; Johnson tops list By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Taxpayers in Pick- ering paid almost $330,000 to their mayor and six councillors in 2004. The remuneration and expenses re- port was released at Monday’s execu- tive committee meeting with the seven salaries, benefits, expenses and travel costs adding up to $329,761. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson again topped the list for ex- penses, coming in at $20,134 com- pared with $19,484 in 2003. “If I was going over budget I’d worry, but if I’m working within the param- eters of the budget that’s allotted to me, I think that’s important,” he said. The $2,547 he claimed for meals, receptions and promotion was down from $3,255 in 2003, but was still the highest amount of any councillor. “I represent the largest area and I have the most constituents I have to meet with,” he explained. Coun. Johnson said his increase in the newsletter category of $2,390 over 2003 was because he sent out a news- letter and a calendar last year, whereas in 2003 the calendar was charged to his The cost of governing Pickering hits $330,000 ✦ See Pickles’, Page A4 A/P PAGE A2 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆MAY 11, 2005 Mr. Wayne Arthurs, M.P.P.

Last year, the pass rate was 80 per cent and the year before 75. “We made a six-per cent gain. In previous years, we’ve made gains and we’re well above the provincial average,” said Luiga Ayotte, superin- tendent of education-programs for the public board. “There’s always room for improve- ment. Eighty-six per cent were suc- cessful the first time around, but we can still do better.” “We’ve done a lot of work in the areas of literacy and numeracy,” she stated, pointing to training and re- sources for teachers. The only public school to see its success rate drop was Dunbarton High School in Pickering. There, 85 per cent were successful, down from 89 per cent the year before. The biggest improvement was at the Durham Alternative Sec- ondary School, which went from a 29 per cent success rate all the way up to 62. Despite the improvement, it was still the lowest success rate with the public board. The next lowest public board result was G.L. Roberts Collegiate in Os- hawa, at 70 per cent. Cartwright High School in Scugog had a 100 per cent success rate. St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering and All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whitby each had 90 per cent pass rates, the highest with the Catholic board. The lowest was recorded at Archbish- op Denis O’Connor Catholic High School in Ajax, at 78 per cent.

The third annual Durham Environmental Ad- visory Committee (DEAC) achievement awards were handed out at Regional council Wednesday. The awards are named in memory of past envi- ronmental leaders who made a contribution to the region. Scugog Lake Stewards Inc. received the George A. Scott Stewardship Award for their dedication to sustaining the health of Lake Scugog, said Larry Burt, vice chairman of DEAC. The City of Oshawa engineering division won the Dr. J. Murray Speirs Restoration Award. The City designed and built a fish passage structure that will enable rainbow trout to pass through Harmony Road and into the upstream reaches of Harmony Creek. Educating residents about the natural flora and fauna in the area won the Durham Region Field Naturalists the Irene Kock Education/Communi- cation Award. Irv and Kay Harrell of Hawk Ridge Farms were awarded the Eric Krause Innovative Plans/Poli- cies/Initiatives Award for the work in naturalizing their property in Clarington. The pair have se- cured the land’s future by placing an easement on the property and are a flagship project for private land stewardship, Mr. Burt said. The Jessica Markland Partnership Award was given to Uxbridge Naturally. The group has part- nered with organizations such as the Township of Uxbridge, conservation authorities and the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation in an effort to “maintain the rural character” of Uxbridge, Mr. Burt said. DEAC is a volunteer advisory committee formed by Regional council to provide advice to the Region on environmental land use planning issues. Ajax and Pickering hospital highlights current shortage By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — Not only is the Rouge Valley Health System on the hunt for doctors, it is also in need of nurses. As the hospital celebrates nursing week from May 9 to 15, it continues to search for profes- sionals to fill a variety of demands in health care. “We need nurses in critical care, emergency, intensive care and obstetrics, to address our communities’ health-care needs,” said Hume Martin, president and chief executive officer of Rouge Valley. He highlighted not only the need for more nurses, but also how appreciated the hospital’s nurses are. “Let’s take a moment to say thanks to the backbone of our health-care system,” Mr. Mar- tin said. He was speaking about nurses such as Ly- nette Draga, who has spent 16 of her more than 20 years as a nurse at Rouge Valley’s Ajax and Pickering site. Ms. Draga is a registered nurse on the fourth floor in the in-patient surgery area. “What I like about it is, you do different things. Everyday you go in, you do something else,” she said. In her area patients are treated for ear, nose and throat; orthopedics; following gall bladder surgeries; vascular surgeries; amputations; and more. What she gets out of the job is helping peo- ple. “You see a progress and an improvement and you feel you’re doing something to help them get back to normal,” Ms. Draga said. Another part of her job, and that of all the nurses on the floor, is preceptorship, which is similar to mentoring. Before nursing students graduate they do a placement or preceptorship where they get hands-on training and learn from nurses such as Ms. Draga. “It’s good for them because the only way you learn is by doing things,” she said. The hospital also views the program as one of its recruitment tools where potential future nurses work with the veterans. It’s an experi- ence, Ms. Draga said, that benefits both sides. “It’s nice when you see them coping with something that they wouldn’t have been able to at the beginning,” she said. “It’s a nice feeling when you see them take a place on the floor. Yo u feel good for teaching them.” For others who may be thinking about a ca- reer in nursing, Ms. Draga has some advice. “It’s very difficult, it’s not for everybody,” she said. “You have to be kind and caring, you have to be efficient and organized and you have to be bright because there is so much going on... You have to like chaos.” With the average age of nurses in Ontario at nearly 45, according to the Ontario Nurses’ As- sociation, there are many retiring from the pro- fession and that number is only going to grow in the coming years. This also highlights the need for more people to consider the profession. Ms. Draga agreed. “We always need more nurses,” she said, adding one last piece of advice, “It’s not what you see on movies or TV, but it’s definitely rewarding.” A/P PAGE A3 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆MAY 11, 2005 For more information call the Region of Durham 905-579-5264 or 1-800-667-5671 recycling@region.durham.on.ca Keep your recyclables from blowing around your neighbourhood 1 2 3 PA PERS go in the BOTTOM Blue Box, including: all household papers CONTAINERS go in the TOP Blue Box, including: plastic, metal, glass and paper containers CARDBOARD & BOXBOARD go bundled together and should be placed BESIDE or ON TOP of your Blue Boxes. 7%34.%9 2/!$ 3/54( 5.)4 !*!8 /.4!2)/ 3ATURDAY -AY ""1 FROM AM PM .APOLEON 0RESTIGE 6 "2).' 4()3 !$ &/2 !. !$$)4)/.!, !.9 02%34)'% -/$%, ""1 /&& !NNIVERSARY 3ALE!NNIVERSARY 3ALE 0ROUDLY MADE IN #ANADA 0ROUDLY MADE IN #ANADA (OME 3HOW 0ROMO 0ACKS WITH EVERY ""1 0URCHASE !CCESSORIES VALUED 5P TO (OME 3HOW 0ROMO 0ACKS WITH EVERY ""1 0URCHASE !CCESSORIES VALUED 5P TO #ANNOT BE COMBINED WITH ANY OTHER COUPONS ""1""1 BROKEN WINDSHIELD? www.premiereautosalon.com Serving Durham Since 1985 1010 Brock Road South (Northwest corner at Bayly) 905-831-4290 AUTO GLASS & CUSTOM UPHOLSTERYAUTO GLASS & CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY ■ Custom Upholstery ■ Boat Tops ■ Mooring Covers ■ Automotive & Marine Interiors ■ Convertible Tops $300.00 Deductible We Pay Up To based on insurance coverage VVISIT O UR W EBSIT E FOR P IC TU R EVISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR PICTURE A ND M O R E IN F O !!AND MORE INFO!!

They don’t own your car, it’s not theirs to turn around and sell,” she said. “The City never held this land in trust, they never owned it. It wasn’t theirs to give away.” Bonnie Littley, a member of the Rouge Duffins Greenspace Coalition, demand- ed that the matter be settled in court, calling the Region’s handling of it “dis- graceful and dangerous.” In an effort to turn around the heated debate at Tuesday’s meeting, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish introduced a motion, which among other things, urged the Ontario Realty Corporation to act on behalf of the Province to stop Pickering’s efforts. It was lost by a vote of 5-1. P PAGE A4 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆MAY 11, 2005 2005 RANGER Built for life in Ontario.

Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean attributed his increase in ex- penses to his new responsibilities as a regional councillor — he was appoint- ed to fill the regional seat at the end of July. His expenses went from $6,971 to $12,169. “It is a huge increase but I don’t think it’s something that’s not justifi- able,” he said. “I can’t see it increasing much beyond that next year.” The biggest jump in Coun. McLean’s expenses was in the newsletter cat- egory, it increased nearly $2,700. “Those emergency phone lists, which people find very helpful, ac- counted for most of that,” he said. On the other side of the spectrum, Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles’ expenses decreased from $13,430 in 2003 to $4,167 last year. He said he was too busy with committees to attend conferences or put out a newsletter, which were two significant chunks of his 2003 expenses. “That probably made a big differ- ence because I didn’t have the mailing cost or the cost of having anybody help me design (the newsletter),” he said. Coun. Pickles is planning on doing one this year. “Those expenses may be higher next year but we’ll see how that works out,” he said. In his first full year as a councillor, Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe claimed $10,500 in expenses — the highest of any local councillor. He pointed out though, that if the total remuneration is added up — in- cluding Veridian remuneration and ex- penses — he received the least amount of money. Coun. Ashe said he had one-time expenses as a new councillor, includ- ing setting up a website, letterhead and business cards. Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner’s expenses remained relative- ly constant — $8,491 in 2003 compared with $8,839 last year. Wa rd 2 City Councillor Doug Dick- erson returned to council Nov. 9 after winning the byelection. He spent $1,903 in less than two months. His biggest expense was $998 for meals, which he said would not be the norm. “I was meeting with a number of business leaders and people through the City when I came back,” he said. “You have to get yourself back out into the community.” Mayor Dave Ryan, who consistently claimed the least in expenses while a city councillor, claimed $10,877 in 2004. He claimed $7,420 for meals-recep- tions-promotions. He was in a meeting all day Tuesday and unavailable for comment.

The youth, 14, told police he was walking alone on a residential street near Whites Road around 11 p.m., when a passing car stopped and a man got out. The youth told police he tried to get away, but was cornered by a man who pushed him into a hedge and kicked him a couple of times. The assailant demanded money, then took off with the boy’s wallet, windbreaker and other items of cloth- ing, police said. The youth gave police a statement after going to his residence. Yo u th assaulted, robbed of clothes said. The search for a new chief began al- most immediately, with the hiring of a firm to help scout potential candidates, Mr. Moffatt said. He added that the board will consider candidates from inside and outside the service. Clashes with the union have marked Chief McAlpine’s career. Back in 2000, a disenchanted union, led by firebrand President Terry Ryan, conducted a sur- vey of rank-and-file officers that result- ed in the passage of a motion of non- confidence by the membership. Cops called for the resignation of the chief and all services board members. The chief weathered the storm. But he found himself at odds with the union again in 2003, after allegations of mis- conduct by members of the force’s Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) were levelled by a former member of the unit. Chief McAlpine called in the Ontario Provincial Police in early 2003 to probe the allegations. Fury among the ranks rose over the en- suing year and a half as the inves- tigation dragged on. Finally, last summer, the chief held a press conference to announce there would be no criminal charges against the dozen officers in question. But it was no exoneration, and the way in which the chief worded his an- nouncement — he said there was “no reasonable prospect of a criminal con- viction” — enraged the officers in ques- tion, and their union representatives. The issue remains a sore point. Al- though criminal charges were ruled out, the chief struck a task force to look into possible breaches under the Police Services Act. No word on that probe has been forthcoming, almost a year later. Monday, Mr. Cavanaugh chose to smooth over the often fractious rela- tionship between the chief and the union. “That was several years ago now,” he said of the non-confidence vote. “From the association, we wish him and his family all the best.” Chief McAlpine also indicated he considers his battles with the associa- tion ancient history. “It’s water under the bridge and long forgotten,” he said. The chief’s decision to retire brings to an end a career that includes 35 years of public service, 33 of them as a police officer. He grew up in Bancroft and worked as an ambulance attendant for two years before becoming a cop. He joined the Peterborough service in 1972 and worked his way up through the ranks, becoming chief in 1986. He came on board as chief in Dur- ham in 1997. During his tenure, Durham’s popula- tion has exploded and the service has grown accordingly. It’s increased from 584 officers and 155 civilians in 1997 to 777 officers and 261 civilians today, and the demand for more personnel contin- ues unabated.

Metroland Durham Region Media Group PICKERING — With the increase of AIDS in Durham rising, it has become more important for the AIDS Commit- tee of Durham to raise awareness and funds. Peter Richtig, the organization’s ex- ecutive director, paid a visit to Picker- ing council recently to talk about the disease. “As a man who has lived with HIV for over 14 years, as a man who has worked with the AIDS movement across the country... I can tell you that this crisis is not only not over, it is profoundly deepening,” he said. Mr. Richtig said there has been a 40- per cent increase in diagnosis of HIV in Durham over the last two years. “Many people are still unaware of the fact that HIV/AIDS affects individuals and families in our communities,” he said. “Many young people tell us that it does not matter if they get infected because all they have to do is take a pill. This lack of knowledge, rapid population growth and lack of local prevention funding could account for the increase in the diagnosis of HIV in Durham.” The organization, he said, receives less than 25 per cent of its funding through government sources. The rest is raised through community fund- raising, such as the Durham Walk for AIDS. The west location of the walk, which is also an awareness and education event, is in Pickering Saturday, May 14 at the Millennium Square in Pickering, located at the south end of Liverpool Road. Registration begins at 12:30 p.m. and the event kicks off at 1 p.m. There are going to be refreshments and entertainment following the five- kilometre walk, as well as prizes, in- cluding a weekend getaway for two at the Bayview Wildwood Resort. Pledge forms can be picked up at the Pickering Recreation Complex, the Pickering Central Library or the Pick- ering Civic Complex, as well as the AIDS Committee of Durham office, 22 King St. W. Suite 401 in Oshawa. For more information, visit www. aidsdurham.com or call 905-576-1445.

A kind of barter system, if you will, of skills and abili- ties. Phil puts a new vent in Stu’s garage roof and in return Stu does a little free electrical wiring for Ed when he’s put- ting on that addition in the spring. Marjorie lends her new Mixmaster to Biff and in re- turn Biff is more than happy to plow out her driveway...so to speak. It’s all part of a lovely mosaic of friendship where everyone does his or her part. Except I’m not really sure what my part is anymore. Within my little circle of friends in and around town there are people I can and have called upon to do every- thing from plumbing to land- scaping to financial planning. It’s a great comfort to know that should the need arise, there are very capable indi- viduals living close by who can bail me out of any kind of emergency. But it seems to me that the balance sheet is sorely out of whack. Everyone has need of a plumber now and then or a carpenter or an electrician. It’s even nice to live beside a lawyer on occasion. But who needs an actor? It’s embarrassing as hell when my buddy Glen freely gives up an hour or two to snake out my clogged drain and all I can do is maybe buy him a case of beer, pat him on the back and say “Hey, listen pal...anytime you’re having trouble with a soliloquy...I’m your guy, OK?” I mean, who’s kidding who? I can count on one hand the number of times one of my neighbors has called me up with an acting emergency. “Oh Neil, thank God you’re home! Listen, is Hamlet’s chronic indecision really re- sponsible for the death of his mother and Laertes or does most of that guilt belong to his iniquitous stepfather and the bumbling Polonius?” “Hello Suzanne? I know it’s two in the morning but could you please wake Neil up? One of the kids is stuck downstage and she can’t remember her exit line. We’re really in a pickle!” “Neil buddy...the wife and I are making a little ‘home movie’. She wants to go with a steady-cam but I think a two- camera lock-off is the route to go. Can you sneak over and give us a hand?” It just doesn’t happen. If I do get a call it’s usu- ally in the form of some trivia question that inevitably ends up in a backhanded compli- ment; “Hey Croner...what was the name of that really bad movie you did? You know, where you played the talking duck? The kids wanna see it.” I don’t mean to say that I never contribute anything. I’m always happy to swing a hammer or dig a hole for somebody. But there’s not a whole lot of cachet in that kind of grunt work. Just once I’d like to be the hero. The ‘Go To’ guy who really saves somebody’s skin. In the meantime I guess I’ll have to take whatever ego boost I can get from the talk- ing duck thing. I mean, some people never get called at all, right? Neil Crone, actor-comic- writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Conservatives not a better alternative To the editor: Re: “Liberals can’t deliver what Canadians want”, letter April 27. I have only one answer to Nick Nikopoulos: Conserva- tives can deliver only what Americans will ask. According to the polls, Lib- erals are losing support big time. No doubt about that. But the same side of the picture is that Canadians don’t want an election at this time. Don’t execute the criminal on the charges only, wait until proven guilty. Va qar Raees Pickering Everyone needs to work together to stop proposed airport To the editor: Re: ‘Residents’ concerns fly in Claremont,’ April 27. I am glad to see lots of peo- ple in Pickering want to stop the proposed airport. I was shocked to learn the airport would be the third biggest air- port in Canada if it were oper- ating today. That’s huge. Only To ronto Pearson International (25 million passengers a year) and Vancouver International (16,000,000 passengers) are bigger. The Pickering airport with nearly 12 million passengers would be bigger than the air- ports in Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton. Those are big airports. And the government people should stop fooling people by calling it a ‘regional airport’. Any airport with 12 million passengers every year is big no matter what you call it. I am 16 and have grown up in Pickering and want it to stay a place for people, not planes. I am glad other people are getting involved. Let’s all work together and stop the proposed airport. Tori Hodgins Pickering Split Region into north and south to be fair To the editor: Re: Cost of Durham Region headquarters’ new garage. When the new Durham Region headquarters was ap- proved it was guaranteed not to exceed $67.7 million, now it has skyrocketed to $86.8 mil- lion. How can they think we will believe that our taxes will not rise again? Stick to the original plan and add on top when needed — save the taxpayer some in- crease. When this council was first elected they gave themselves a six-per cent raise, then in- creased the expense claim items and now are building a very expensive building to operate from. Personally, we can’t afford all these luxuries — anyone living north of Hwy. 7 seldom sees any evidence of Durham Region or improve- ments. We are subsidizing a transit system now when most of us have the expense of our own transportation to get to jobs, etc. Perhaps it is time to divide the Region into north and south so that we get some benefit for our money. We could probably have outside parking for free. I read “We get the govern- ment we deserve”. My only hope is that others are as upset as I am and express their con- cerns to their councillors.

If public high school teachers in certain areas across the province, including those with the Durham District School Board, follow through on threats to implement job action in our schools, they’d better be prepared to deal with negative public re- action. The labour unrest would lay squarely at their feet. If anything, the mere threat of action should be enough for the Province to realize provincewide bargaining of all aspects of teacher contracts must be introduced from this day forward. For too many years now, as teacher contracts came up for re- newal and negotiations, it has become a war of words between the union districts representing the teachers, the provincial govern- ment, and even the boards. So, there was reason for optimism recently when the Province came to agreements with first the Elementary Teachers’ Federa- tion of Ontario and then the Ontario Secondary Schools Teachers’ Federation on new four-year deals that offered a 10.6-per cent cumulative pay raise. Optimism because the biggest sticking point appeared to be taken off the table, with the union locals and their school boards to finalize minor details. However, with Durham OSSTF president Peter Tumey calling it the “basement,” the union local is planning to use the negotiated salary as simply a starting point. In other words, if the Durham board doesn’t want to offer more cash, there may not be a deal. Rachel Gencey, president of Durham ETFO, has also said the salary is “the worst we can do,” and that little progress has been made in negotiations. Contrast that with the reaction in Clarington, where the boards and locals are accepting the provincial framework in good faith as a way toward better relations and harmony in our schools. Provincially negotiated deals ensure boards and locals don’t play one deal against another. They ensure our school board of- ficials, teachers and union locals are focusing their attention on the classroom; there are no contract negotiations to commit time to and there are no hard feelings carrying over from other issues or discussions that could hurt the delivery of education to our kids. Provincially-brokered deals would ensure all teachers, and taxpay- ers, are treated the same. Remember, there’s only one taxpayer. If the Province commits so many dollars through provincial bargaining and then local unions turn around and want more, it means, for example, Whitby residents are paying more than those in Clarington. Would provincewide bargaining always ensure labour peace? Of course not. But it’s the most equitable for teachers, school boards, the Prov- ince, and students.

Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo Riding on a bike by the bay PICKERING — Former Pickering residents John Melausan and son David were back in the city last Friday, enjoying David’s time off from school due to a P.A. Day. They were riding near Frenchman’s Bay. PICKERING — Police are on the lookout for a flasher after reports of a man exposing himself recently in a south Pickering neighbourhood. A woman living on Ilona Park Road, off Liverpool Road near Frenchman’s Bay, told police she was outside her home around 9:20 p.m. April 27 when she saw a man stand- ing by a fence nearby, exposing him- self. The woman yelled at the man, but he didn’t respond, police said. Other people in the neighbour- hood have told police they’ve seen the man in the area. A suspect was chased away from the area April 26, and investigators suspect he may be the same person who was seen prowling near a townhouse complex late last year. The suspect in the most recent incident is a black man who stands about 5-feet-10 with a heavy build. Anyone who has information about the suspect or who has seen suspi- cious activity in the neighbourhood is asked to call police at 905-579- 1520, ext. 2529. Flasher causes concern in Pickering A/P PA GE 4 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆MAY 11, 2005 The Riggs File PICKERING — Ashley Riggs has met with suc- cess on the ice at every level she’s played. Now, the 20-year-old will attempt to become one of the youngest players to crack the Canadian na- tional women’s hockey team lineup being assembled for the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin, Italy next February. Here’s a look at many of the accomplishments Riggs has achieved: • Played most of her minor hockey with boys, mostly with the Ajax-Pickering Raiders ‘AAA’ teams. She was one of very few females to have played at the elite ‘AAA’ level; • While with the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs, she led the girls’ team to back-to- back provincial high school silver and gold medals. In one season, she also racked up more than 100 goals. She was a three-time team MVP at St. Mary; • Played one year with the Telus Lightning Na- tional Women’s Hockey League squad; and • As a member of the Canadian under-22 wom- en’s team, named top forward of the Air Canada Cup tournament in Germany last February. There, she scored eight goals and four assists in three games, including a four-goal effort in the championship con- test. • • • After joining the Niagara University Purple Eagles in Niagara Falls, New York on a scholarship last season, Riggs proceeded to rewrite the record book for the women’s hockey program. The following are some of her collegiate exploits: • College Hockey America rookie of the year; First-team all-CHA; CHA all-rookie team; CHA all-tour- nament team; Only player in College Hockey America to earn six weekly awards; U.S. College Hockey Online all-rookie team; U.S. College Hockey Online offensive player of the week; Pre-season U.S. College Hockey Online all-rookie team; and • Led the nation’s freshmen with 29 goals in 32 games, tied for ninth overall; Led the nation’s freshmen with six short-handed goals, ranking second overall; Second among nation’s freshmen with 51 points, tied for 16th overall; Tied for fifth in nation with six game-winning goals; Niagara all-time single season record holder for most points (51), most goals (29), most short-handed goals (6), most hat tricks (4), highest plus/minus rat- ing (+29); Most assists by a fresh- man (22); Dec. 10 against Union, tied the single- game record for most points (5) and assists (4), and tied the single-period record for most points (3) and most assists (3); Tied for 10th on Niagara’s all-time career point scoring list; Ranks seventh on Niagara’s all-time career goal scor- ing list; and Led the team in goals, assists, points, shooting percentage, plus/minus rating, power-play goals, short-handed goals, game-winning goals and hat tricks. Pickering’s Ashley Riggs one of 27 to train at national women’s hockey camps in PEI, Calgary By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — A local hockey play- er has parlayed a solid freshman col- legiate season into an invitation to try out for the Canadian women’s Olympic team. Forward Ashley Riggs was one of 27 elite players, including 16 forwards, named to the centralization train- ing camp in preparation for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy from Feb. 10 to 26. The 20-year-old received the news of her inclusion two weeks ago and is, in a word, ecstatic at the prospect of earning a spot on the Olympic roster. “I’m so excited about it, it’s huge. I’ve always wanted to do it,” says the 5-foot-3, 125-pounder, who starred with the Niagara University Purple Eagles women’s hockey team as well as with the Canadian under-22 squad last season. She notes that the invitation was wholly unexpected, so much so that Riggs had already chosen her courses for the 2005-06 school year at the New York State campus. Now, the top scorer at Niagara last season will take a one year’s leave of absence from school to pursue her dream of play- ing for Canada at the Games. “This chance could only come once, so if I have to sacrifice school, it’s worth it,” says Riggs, who notes her coaches and teammates at Ni- agara are supporting her bid. “Everyone there is excited for me.” But, she says she’s fully aware that it will be tough sledding in order to secure a spot on a Canadian roster that’s loaded with experience, in- cluding 12 players that won a gold medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and all 24 members from Canada’s silver medal winning team at the Women’s World Hockey Championship last month in Linkop- ing, Sweden. “There are so many good players. When you look at the list you say, ‘wow, everyone is just amazing’,” she says. “I really don’t know what my chances are. It will depend on how well I do at the training camps. The way I look at it, they have 16 forwards and they’re going to take 12, so I’ve just got to beat out four players.” She doubts she’ll be in awe of the veteran players at the camp, having worked out with them at camps in the past. Her outstanding freshman season at Niagara will also heighten her confidence. “I’m very happy with my year, so I’ll have more confidence than I would before. I played (NCAA Division 1) hockey and I did better than I ever expected, so that should help,” she says. Riggs will complete her final exam at the university on May 15 and then fly to Calgary to find living accommo- dations for the remainder of the year, as well as to meet with teammates and coaches. The first training camp is set for Prince Edward Island for three weeks, starting May 23. The main training camp, however, will be hosted in Calgary, beginning Aug. 1. From August until January, the team is slated to have 21 in- ternational games leading up to the Olympics, including seven in Cana- da, three in the U.S. and the other 11 in Europe. During that time, the women’s team will also play midget boys’ ‘AAA’ teams in the Calgary area. Riggs will be one of two 20-year- olds in the centralization camp, thus being the second youngest player among the invitees. The other 20- year-old is defenceman Tessa Bon- homme, of Sudbury, while the young- est player in camp is 18-year-old forward Meghan Agosta of Ruthven, Ontario. One of the assistant coaches on the Canadian team, Margot Page, is the longtime head coach at Niagara. Having her head coach at Niagara on board will be a bonus, explains Riggs. “She’s be straight-up with me. She’ll tell me if I had a bad game or a bad practice,” says Riggs. Canada must name a roster of 20 players (18 skaters, 2 goalies) in Janu- ary 2006.

Sports briefs MAY 11, 2005 [ Tr ack and field ] Finn in fine form at Cardinal Carter Classic meet AJAX — A Pickering High School Tr ojans’ track athlete is ending his high school career on a solid note, if the results of a major Toronto meet are any indication. Team captain and graduating senior Ryan Finn led the Trojans in a record- breaking weekend at the Cardinal Carter Tr ack Classic at the Etobicoke Centennial Stadium in Toronto last Friday and Satur- day. More than 2,600 athletes represent- ing more than 202 schools participated. Finn established new meet records while capturing gold in the senior boys’ 800 metres and 1,500 metres. He also anchored Pickering High’s 4-x-400-metre team, which also included Adam Brown, Anthony Lue and Evan Tsiopolous. The finish brought the stadium’s crowd to its feet as the Tr ojans’ quartet established a new meet record of 3:27.2 and posted the number- one time in the province this season. Following an outstanding track and field career at Pickering High, Finn will run for the University of Kentucky Wild- cats on a full athletic scholarship in the fall. Pickering High’s junior boys’ 4-x-100- metre relay team of Gary Tsang, Evan Tsiopolous, Christopher Sahadath and Andrew Spence earned a gold medal and established a new meet record. Tsiopo- lous also placed fourth in the junior boys’ 800 metres. Latesha Francis won the senior girls’ long jump with a record performance. She went on to win silver in the 100- metre hurdles and place fifth in the 100 metres. Jessica Caterini won gold in the midget girls’ 300-metre hurdles and was the silver medal winner in the 80-metre hurdles. Matthew McKenzie won gold in the midget boys’ triple jump, silver in the 300-metre hurdles and was fifth in the 100-metre hurdles. Ryan Gordon captured gold in the senior boys’ 110-metre hurdles, followed by teammate Lue who won bronze. Stephen Lopez and Sheldon Connell tied for third in the senior boys’ triple jump, each earning a bronze medal. The Trojans’ senior boys’ 4-x-100- metre relay team of Brown, Gharone McLean, Gordon and Marc LaTouche won the silver, two-tenths-of-a-second behind defending OFSAA champions from Birch- mount Park Collegiate Institute in Toronto. Shenika Schoburgh placed fourth in the midget girls’ 80-metre hurdles. Cameron Bursey was fifth in the ju- nior boys’ 100-metre hurdles. Felicien back on top of the world PICKERING — Pickering Olympian Perdita Felicien appears to have re- turned to peak form after a meet on the weekend. The 24-year-old hurdles specialist, in only her third meet of the outdoor season, won the 100-metre event at the Jamaica Invitational at National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica, in a time of 12.67 seconds — the fastest time in the world this season. This improved on her previous best world mark to date at the Mount SAC Relays in California in April, where she won the event in 12.73. In win- ning the event, she also beat American Joanna Hayes, the gold medallist at the Olympic Summer Games in Ath- ens in the race where Felicien clipped a hurdle and fell early in the final. Hayes placed fifth in the race. Behind Felicien were Lacena Golding- Clarke in 12.72, followed by Delloreen Ennis-London in 12.78. Felicien and Hayes are expected to meet again at the Adidas Classic meet in Los Angeles later this month. Late last month, Felicien finished a disappointing third in the 100m hurdles at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, where she had won on five pre- vious occasions. This time, however, Felicien clipped a hurdle and was never able to gain ground on winner Lolo Jones from the U.S. Felicien will be training and com- peting on her way to defending her world outdoor title at the IAAF World Championships in Helsinki, Finland from Aug. 5 to 12.

Groen/ News Advertiser photo Pearce makes his pitch AJAX — Ajax Spartans minor bantam tier 2 pitcher Matt Pearce delivers to the plate in a Mayors’ Cup game against the Whitby Chiefs at the Ajax Sportsplex on Saturday afternoon. The Spartans were the winners of the 25th anniversary edition of the cup tournament, with the victory hinging on the outcome of the final game of the day between the Ajax and Whitby major bantams. Ajax won that game 6-0. The Whitby Chiefs, however, did win most of the skills challenges in the various divisions. Last-round draftee hopes he can beat the odds again Johnson believes a summer of workouts will lead to a spot on the Kingston Frontenacs’ OHL roster By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — When the Kingston Frontenacs’ training camp rolls around in September, David Johnson expects to be just another player hoping to make an impression on the coaches, enough so that he can make the team. Johnson, no doubt, will be an underdog to catch on with the Ontario Hockey League club, owing to being taken in the 15th and final round — 284th overall — of Saturday’s OHL Priority Selection Draft, which was conducted entirely over the Internet. However, the 16-year-old right-winger with the Ajax- Pickering Raiders ‘AAA’ minor midgets last season is undaunted by the chal- lenge. “It just means I have to work harder in the summer to be in better shape before I go to camp,” says the 6- foot-2, 210-pound Pickering resident. Being an underdog and beating the odds are nothing new to Johnson. The teen beat the odds — and pos- sibly cheated death — in a motor-vehicle accident last summer involving his dirt bike. Riding on Whites Road in Pickering, he recalls a car pulling out in front of him, leaving him no time to stop. Although he suffered no broken bones, the impact left him with serious in- juries, including an injury to his liver and, even more serious, a blood clot in his kidney. The injuries kept him off skates and away from hockey until January when his doctors finally allowed him to re- join the Raiders. Johnson says his only means of ex- ercise during that time was riding a stationary bike. Rejoining the Raiders in January, Johnson acknowledged he was out of shape and had missed the best part of the season, including three tourna- ments, one of which was a well-scout- ed event in Ottawa. He believes his injury and his abbre- viated 24-game season had a definite and dramatic effect on his all-important draft season and also his selec- tion in the final round of the draft. “I’m sure it had an impact on me, including my stats,” says the Grade 10 student at Dunbarton High School. “I think they (scouts) may have looked at me more if I played at the start of the season.” Johnson was one of four Raiders selected during the OHL draft. Topping the list was Raid- ers’ centre and Ajax resident Marcus Carroll, 16, who was chosen in the third round, 59th overall, by the Owen Sound Attack. The 5-foot-9, 180-pound forward had a solid cam- paign last year, amassing 28 goals and 23 assists for 51 points. Raiders’ centre Kyle Ram- say was a 12th-round pick, 230th overall, of the Erie Ot- ters. One round later, the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds se- lected Raiders’ defenceman Nick Holmberg. The 6-foot- 1, 180-pound defenceman was chosen 258th overall. The Oshawa Generals — Durham Re- gion’s only OHL club — drafted teen- age phenom John Tavares of Toronto with the first-overall pick. David Johnson Marcus Carroll Kyle Ramsay DURHAM — Several local pony club members proved their equine knowl- edge to capture solid results at the Cen- tral Ontario Pony Club Regional Quiz in Keswick last Saturday. Members of 17 pony club branches took part in the quiz, which includes an oral test, a written test and a visual test in which competitors must identify unusual equine objects. The Ajax Pony Club’s ‘D2’ team took first place in that category and also cap- tured second place at the ‘D’ level. The Pickering Pony Club team fin- ished third at the ‘D1’ level. Dawn O’Neill of the Ajax club finished third at the ‘C’ level. Ajax’s Jessica Mc- Donnell finished third in ‘D2’.

On May 14 and 15, the Pickering Museum Village hosts ‘Time Tour: Drama on the Whitevale Road’, an event that will transport visitors back to the early 1800s. “It’s a unique idea,” said Dave Mar- lowe, manager of the Pickering Muse- um Village and a narrator. “There will be a traditional walking tour where you’ll learn about the history of the area, as well as a bus tour along the Whitevale Road. It will take you to dif- ferent farmhouses, each representing different occurrences throughout his- tory.” The walking tour will be hosted by costumed guides, and plenty of chil- dren’s activities and refreshments will be available. On the bus tour, visitors will witness a number of re-enacted moments in Pickering history, such as the apprehension of Asher Willson and his son William for their actions in the Rebellion of 1837. “People don’t understand the amount of history that is in Pickering,” said Marlowe. “There are significant events in our history that people don’t know about. We want to try to get the message out, and get people to learn more. “It will be an interesting day, with lots of variety. It’s two to three hours well-spent.” The first tour begins Saturday at 10 a.m. Passports for the event can be purchased from the Pickering Mu- seum Village, and are $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and children.
