The college has already imposed sanctions on Sami John George Kar- kanis, an obstetrician and gynecolo- gist, including that he must have a female chaperone present while doing all breast and internal exami- nations. According to a complaint filed by a woman referred to as ‘Patient A’ with the CPSO, the patient al- leged Dr. Karkanis “behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional manner, and engaged in behaviour of a sexual nature, including touch- ing Patient A’s hand and rubbing his penis against it, hugging her and touching her vagina in a sexual manner with his hand and penis.” The complaint further noted, “Dr. Karkanis also asked her to expose her breasts and made remarks of a sexual nature about them.” During one appointment, a vagi- nal swab was taken of Patient A and when questioned about it later by both the patient and the college, Dr. Karkanis is alleged to have given “inaccurate and/or untruthful re- sponses regarding what happened to the swab.” CPSO spokeswoman Kathryn Clarke said a hearing has started “to determine if the allegations against him are proven. We’ve begun a hearing, which will continue at the end of the month.” The hearing continues on Oct. 30 and 31, she noted.

Now cops are hoping the public can assist as they attempt to solve the theft, which saw more than $80,000 worth of sunglasses ripped off. Durham police said the victim had parked her blue Mazda 5 outside a Montes- sori school on Toyenvale Road in Pickering around 8:45 a.m. Sept. 26 when thieves struck, lifting seven cases of sunglasses from the vehicle. The 726 sets of shades in- cluded Christian Dior and Mark Jacob models and are valued at $88,500, police said. Investigators on the case believe the victim may have been followed until the thief or thieves saw an opportu- nity to act. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2531 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Ajax school highlighted as a provincial success story in math Testing office recognizes Notre Dame DURHAM — Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School is being highlighted as a success story. The Ajax school was one of five highlighted by the Education Quality and Ac- countability Office (EQAO) for its achievement on the 2007 provincial mathemat- ics assessment. “I think we’d like to con- gratulate the staff and family of schools and everyone at Notre Dame,” said Brock/ Scugog/Uxbridge Trustee Kathy LeFort, during a re- cent board meeting. “I guess congratulations to all.” The report received by the board included a copy of the school success story published on the EQAO website. The story describes Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School as a fast-growing mixed-income urban com- munity with 1,600 students in 2006/2007. An analysis of the EQAO Grade 9 math assessment data revealed its applied math students struggled with the measurement strand and needed extra support in application and thinking. The Notre Dame math team integrated the measurement throughout the curriculum and placed greater emphasis on literacy skills to teach students to read questions thoroughly and provide solid answers. Some of its work included turning the key words page of the assessment booklet into a crossword puzzle to help students get more fa- miliar with the terms, incor- porating EQAO-style ques- tions into the curriculum, and using EQAO scoring rubrics to promote under- standing of expectations. According to the EQAO report, the school launched a math initiative several years ago that’s proven ex- tremely effective in increas- ing student success rates, and some of the Grade 11 graduates have transcended into an academic math class as a result. Fast Facts The percentage of all students who met or exceeded the provincial standard in Grade 9 math over the last five years. The expectation is a level three or four on EQAO tests - equivalent to a ‘B’ or higher.

Karl Knight, Michael MacInnis and Jeremy Brown pleaded guilty Wednesday afternoon for their part in the operation, a wide-ranging criminal enterprise that originally saw 10 people arrested on hundreds of charges when Durham cops closed in on them in the summer of 2004. The men, who pleaded guilty in Newmarket be- fore Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass, received sen- tences ranging from time served for Mr. Brown, who acted as a fence reselling cigarettes to store owners in Durham, to two years in penitentiary for Mr. Knight, who wielded a sledgeham- mer to smash store win- dows, then hauled cartons of smokes to stolen vehi- cles driven by Mr. MacIn- nis, who was the driver and lookout during the heists. Mr. MacInnis, 41, of Whitby, and the 30-year- old Mr. Knight, of Bow- manville, were the “prin- cipal culprits” in the ring, which stole cars and ciga- rettes throughout the GTA and beyond, prosecutor Brenda Green told the judge Wednesday. The men stole high-per- formance Subaru vehicles which they kept stashed at a residence in Oshawa, taking the cars out at night for smash and grab heists during a six-month period between January and June of 2004, Ms. Green said. The thieves -- they be- came known as the Subaru Bandits -- abandoned and burned the cars after they were used, she said. In one heist, they smashed the front window of the IGA store in New- castle and drove off with $30,000 worth of stolen smokes, Ms. Green said. They were also involved in a number of high-speed chases with cops, in one instance topping 200 km- h while being pursued on Hwy. 401, then swerving past a police roadblock set up in Ajax. And a couple of times the bandits were interrupt- ed by staff or store owners during break-ins, yet still made away with hauls of smokes, the Crown said. “The persistence of these crimes is almost unbeliev- able,” Ms. Green said. The men were ar- rested along with several other suspects in July of 2004 after Durham po- lice began watching their movements, dubbing the investigation “Project Smoke Break”. They kept tabs as Mr. MacInnis and Mr. Knight made night- time runs in stolen vehi- cles, and observed as Mr. Brown dropped off sacks of stolen smokes with vari- ous variety store owners, who eventually resold the smokes, Ms. Green said. Mr. MacInnis and Mr. Knight pleaded guilty to charges relating to their roles in the break-ins, po- lice chases, car thefts and other acts. Mr. MacInnis was given an additional six months in custody on top of the more than two years he’s spent in jail awaiting trial, while Mr. Knight, credited for a year of so- called dead time, was sent to prison for two years plus a day. Mr. Brown, who spent 35 days in custody after his ar- rest, was sentenced to time served, but did not walk out of the courthouse a free man. The Oshawa man, a member of the Hells An- gels, is being held for his alleged role in a massive cocaine smuggling ring busted in September by Durham police.

At around 1:15 p.m. on Wednesday, a 78-year- old Willowdale man was travelling east on Hwy. 7 toward Salem Road when the Nissan Altima he was driving left the road on a curve and went out of control, hitting the steel guardrail and rolling nu- merous times before land- ing on its roof. He was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the collision, was ejected from the car. He was later airlifted to Sun- nybrook. Ontario Provincial Police Constable David Woodford said the cause of the collision is ongoing, and police cannot release the man’s name until ei- ther a cause is determined or he passes away. “We have witnesses and it’s just a matter of waiting on his condition, what’s happening and the down- load from the traffic recon- struction team,” he said. Const. Woodford said traffic investigators were at the scene, and are down- loading information from the vehicle to determine the cause. Possibilities include speed and falling asleep at the wheel. Sergeant Steve Diminie of the Whitby OPP detach- ment is leading the inves- tigation.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 19, 2007 durhamregion.com LETTER TO THE EDITOR Throne speech makes good sense Prime Minister Stephen Harper made some strong state- ments in the Speech from the Throne on Tuesday. Mr. Harper outlined five main areas his government will focus on in the coming years, including another cut to the GST, strengthening the country’s standing in the world, steering away from the Kyoto Protocol, being tougher on crime, and extending the mission in Afghanistan. The Prime Minister made some bold statements during the speech, especially when it comes to Afghanistan and the en- vironment. Many have called for the withdrawal of Canadian troops from the war-torn country by 2009, but Mr. Harper said he would extend the mission to 2011, to ensure the new Afghan army can properly support itself and the Afghan people. Can- ada made a commitment to aiding the citizens of Afghanistan and fighting back the Taliban, and it would be irresponsible of us to walk away from an under-trained army in 2009 and expect them to keep the peace in the country. In regards to meeting the strict requirements of the Kyoto Protocol, Mr. Harper isn’t wearing rose-coloured glasses. He knows enforcing such drastic measures could be devastating to the Canadian economy, which for the time being continues to thrive. But Mr. Harper didn’t disregard Mother Nature, and pledged to revive the Clean Air Act, which had all-party consen- sus in Parliament. This would cut the country’s emissions by 20 per cent by 2020 and by 50 per cent by 2050 -- more economi- cally reasonable goals than outlined under Kyoto. The Prime Minister also pledged to be tougher on criminals, especially with regards to gun crime, which we welcome with open arms in a Region that is experiencing more and more gang and criminal activity. Although quickly denounced by the Bloc Quebecois and the NDP, the Liberals didn’t find it so unpalatable as to force an election. It’s the right call since consensus shows that the Canadian people also don’t want an election -- the third in just over three years -- and the only people who would likely benefit would be the Conservatives, who could very well end up with a majority government. Pet responsibility works both ways People should be more aware of dog bite possibilities I t’s no lie that dogs are a man’s - or a woman’s - best friend. And, it’s easy to think your cuddly golden retriever or child-friendly German shepherd would never hurt a fly, especially when they haven’t in the past and are gentle at home. But, recently there was an attack in Pickering involving a rottweiler named Deacon and a Maltese-bichon cross, Ry- land, both of whom were on leashes. Ryland’s owner let him approach the big dog after his owner said Deacon was harmless. As soon as they were within each other’s reach, Deacon grabbed little Ryland just below the neck on the back so hard that he needed surgery to survive. But, there is something important to remember, and something Deacon’s owner, who said he’s never attacked in the past, mentioned: they’re animals. That’s why responsible pet owners should always be aware that their lovable Rover can turn at any time, and even that dogs they encounter can turn as well. People need to realize animals are just that, animals, and we can’t always expect them to be on their best behaviour. It’s true dogs categorized as “guard dogs” can be lovable, and it’s easy to ac- cept that quality as a common trait for the animal. I was born into a family with a Doberman pinscher named Cindy, and she was gentle and absolutely loved chil- dren. In fact, my mom got her when her previous owner was too “gruff and tough” for Cindy’s liking and she needed to be in a loving home with children. One day, however. she bit the mailman as he was handing the day’s deliveries to my sister. Not long after, the police showed up at the door, but since Cindy didn’t break his skin, the police simply gave a warning. Perhaps the mailman should have thought twice before handing mail to a kid in front of a dog that is not commonly known as the most gentle breed. You can never be too careful. A friend of mine owns a cute, little Jack Russell terrier, but she’s pulled her off of big dogs she’s attacked on more than one occasion. It’s important to remember all dogs can turn, no matter what the breed. If we love them and want to protect them, it’s up to the owners to take responsibil- ity. And, although both dogs in this case were on leashes, I’ve noticed too many dogs without them simply sitting on their owners’ front lawn or running around the park. Although there should be a lead- free dog park in Pickering, and hopefully that happens one day, allowing them to run free at this time isn’t worth the risk.

Kristen Calis staff writer Seaton would degrade Duffins watershed To the editor: The Seaton development scheme was bad environmental policy when it was concocted in the dying days of the last Tory regime and it hasn’t improved in the hands of the McGuinty government’s spin merchants. Attempts to present Seaton as green development are simply ‘greenwash’. The Duffins Creek watershed should be fully pro- tected and included in the Ontario Greenbelt. Seaton in any form will contribute to the degradation of the sensitive ecosystem that is Duffins Creek. Sierra Club volunteer ecologist Bernadette Zubrisky has on numerous occasions and in great scientific detail presented a clear picture of the rare and unique treasure that is Duffins Creek. Ms. Zubrisky has also established that Seaton will inevitably lead to the deterioration of the adjacent ecosystem and ultimately the degradation of the Duffins Creek watershed. The people of Pickering and Durham Region have an op- portunity to make a difference. In front of you now is the clear choice of allowing unsustainable growth to swallow up the last natural treasure in your backyard or choosing to take a stand in defence of your environment, natural heritage and the legacy you leave your children. Act now to stop Seaton and preserve Duffins Creek or get ready to tell your kids why you failed to act.

Johnson said at the time. “After talking to constituents and fellow councillors I think it’s something we need to revisit.” Now, council is soliciting feedback from the public on the issue. A call for the public to respond went out on Oct. 5. “It asked anyone who wished to make their comments known to do so in writing to me,” explained Regional clerk Pat Madill. The public has until noon on Oct. 25 to respond. To date, Ms. Madill said she hasn’t received any comments.

According to the CPSO website, allegations against Dr. Karkanis include he had been “en- gaged in sexual abuse of a patient” and “en- gaged in conduct or an act or acts relevant to the practice of medicine that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as disgraceful, dishon- ourable or unprofessional.” The college also ordered the chaperone to initial patient charts and keep a second written record that will be maintained in chronologi- cal order of each patient seen by the chaper- one. The log will also be kept by Dr. Karkanis and initialled by the staff member who chap- eroned the information. The chaperone will also have to maintain a separate written record in addition to the patient chart. The doctor also agrees to allow the college to access his OHIP billings. He must also submit monthly reports to the CPSO, which will include the log of patients examined and how many days, if any, he prac- tices in Ontario. If the college finds against Dr. Karkanis, it can strip him of his medical licence, suspend it for a specific period of time, impose condi- tions on him or reprimand him. It could also impose a fine of up to $35,000.

Mr. Rodrigues was one of around 80 people who attended Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley’s First Community Idea Ex- change on Smart Growth and Sustainability at the Petticoat Creek Communi- ty Centre on Saturday. She welcomed people from all wards to listen to Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish and representatives from the City of Pickering and other non-governmental organi- zations. An open-floor dis- cussion followed. Coun. Littley said she wanted to conduct a com- munity exchange for some time, and now that more environmental guidelines are in place, such as the Greenbelt Act, she decided to hold one. “I think the im- portant thing at this point now to move forward is to have the con- versations with the public, with the non-profit, try to get people more engaged in that process, try to get them a little more aware of what’s going on, to find some common ground,” she said. “We don’t have to all agree, but we at least need to have the discus- sions in a proactive way.” She added high taxes, environmental concerns and lack of transit all rep- resent the need to change the way urban areas are designed. Chris Winter, executive director of the Ontario Smart Growth Network and the Conservation Coun- cil of Ontario, shared his visions on creating more urban, livable communi- ties. He said a challenge is to accommodate growth and improve community life, and suggested creating urban villages with “places to go.” “In any community, there should be something that keeps you there,” he said. He used his neigh- bourhood in west Toronto as an example, and said there are many shops and restaurants close by, requir- ing no car. He also emphasized the need for more cycling paths. But, Mr. Rodrigues said he lives “in the middle of no- where” and is glad there is no store next door. He sim- ply picks up everything he needs when he’s already out. Although he recognizes economy cars are envi- ronmentally friendly, he believes their existence does not address real fuel usage. An avid cyclist, Mayor Parish mentioned “Ajax has the most extensive cy- cling path in the Region of Durham.” He also spoke about a fairly new group, Munici- pal Leaders for the Green- belt, and said it needs to be systematically promoted. He mentioned consumers should encourage grocery stores to buy food locally, for example. He also said municipal politicians should refuse to accept developer con- tributions for campaign fi- nancing, and said doing so will only create sprawl. Non-government orga- nizations such as Durham Sustainability, Ontario Farmland Trust and the Ontario Greenbelt Alliance also put their initiatives on display. Dunbarton High School principal Rick White at- tended the event with around 10 students and teachers, noting it was great to have various envi- ronmentally focused activ- ities throughout Pickering and Durham Region in one room. “It gave them a good op- portunity to see that there are interconnections be- tween government, private organizations, environ- mental watch groups and schools,” he said. He added he was pleased to see en- vironmental issues being incorporated into current planning, and hopes Coun. Littley’s event becomes an annual one. Coun. Littley said she received good feedback from surveys she handed out, and hopes to get more interest in the next event by promoting more toward students and seniors. Mr. Rodrigues said he’ll attend next year’s event. Christadelphians invite you to join them for a Bible Talk GOD’S ANSWER TO A WORLD IN CRISIS Tues.

And, the Ajax resident will soon make it 33, when she runs to Cleveland to catch The Boss on Nov. 4. Ms. Beech met her hus- band while going to her first concert, met Springsteen on her birthday (and had a song dedicated to her) and has taken her children to see him. Her first show was on March 29, 1988, in Detroit, when Springsteen was tour- ing to promote his ‘Tunnel of Love’ album. It was on this trip that she meet her husband Rob. He worked for Games Away Tours, which organized out- of-town tours. “There were four buses going to Detroit and it was his job to make sure you got on the right bus,” she recalls. Springsteen didn’t have any Canadian dates for the ‘Tunnel of Love’ tour. “We met that night. He thought he knew me and asked me if I go to the Gardens.” Rob worked part-time at Maple Leaf Gardens and in- vited her to come find him when she went to her next hockey game. In addition to Detroit, she’s travelled to shows in Pitts- burgh, Cleveland, New York and Asbury Park, New Jersey, Springsteen’s hometown. “It’s his music. It’s not re- ally the man himself. It’s his music, the lyrics and how they speak to me. They reflect my life story,” Ms. Beech says. She has about five favourite songs, with the order chang- ing ‘depending on my mood’. ‘Backstreets’ is usually the top song, along with ‘Incident on 57th Street’. The Monday concert lasted about two hours and 40 min- utes and the play list was 24 songs long, Ms. Beech says. “It’s a bit shorter than what we were spoiled with in the past,” she says. Earlier in his career, Spring- steen was famous for his con- certs lasting three, four, five or six hours long. She didn’t take in the Ot- tawa show on Sunday. “I have children playing rep hockey and that’s my first priority.” Arcade Fire, a top Cana- dian indie band, played with Springsteen during the encore portion of the show, something Ms. Beech wishes she had seen. “There’ll be other concerts.” She met Springsteen in 2003, the last time he was in Toronto with the E Street Band. It happened on her birthday and he dedicated a song to her. During the show, she held up a sign that read ‘Thanks for being here on my B-day’. “He saw it and smiled.” Ms. Beech requested a song and knew Springsteen would play it because he switched guitars. He also said the song was “for the birthday girl.” She asked for ‘Wild Billy’s Cir- cus Story’, which was on the album ‘The Wild, The Inno- cent and the E Street Shuffle’, the album released before ‘Born to Run’, Springsteen’s seminal recording. A neighbour introduced her to “the biggest Bruce fan,” who turned out to be Aldo Wright. Monday’s concert happened to be Mr. Wright’s 103 Springsteen show. “I never wanted to meet Bruce,” she says, noting Springsteen is “six days older than my dad.” Mr. Wright had met Spring- steen. The two, along with Mr. Wright’s girlfriend, Dawn Hill, went to the Four Seasons Hotel, where Springsteen stays when in town. Around 4:30 p.m., they made their way to a bar near the elevators in the lobby. “We were in the bar and out of the elevators came Bruce.” He was signing autographs and he saw Ms. Beech’s sign. A group of fans were also in the lobby and Ms. Beech was asked to take a photo of the group with Springsteen. “I was shaking so bad. Bruce said ‘look, the birth- day girl is shaking’,” Ms. Beech says. She eventually had her pic- ture taken with The Boss, also with Mr. Wright and Ms. Hill. As Springsteen was leaving, Ms. Beech said, “Thank you and enjoy the show. He said, ‘No, you enjoy the show.’ I felt like such an idiot saying that.” Her children are Ty, 13, Taryn, 11, and Tate, 9. Daughter Taryn’s first concert was a Springsteen concert, when she was nine. Although they were in the centre of the front row and Springsteen sang to Taryn, she didn’t have the stamina to last the entire show and ended up falling asleep. She took Ty to a U2 concert and “Bono handed him drum sticks.” “My experiences ended up being a good experience for them.” Nominations are now being accepted for the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards The strength of our community lies in solid citizens.

As former vice chair of the Pub- lic Accounts Committee, he said accountability is crucial in the operations of the govern- ment. “I’m making sure the govern- ment operates in an accountable way and is not trying to dupe the people that elected them and put them there,” he said. The new critic said he was asked to take on the position because there are a number of questions surrounding procure- ment and government contracts. The area doesn’t only cover pub- lic works, which manages all government lands and buildings, and is responsible for tendering and procurement; it also covers any type of contract the govern- ment enters into, including mili- tary and treasury contracts. “And that’s what I’m going to be doing, is digging into these areas, asking questions, getting accountability in areas where they’ve been less than forthright, and trying to get to the bottom of what’s going on in some areas that have had a lot of question marks and some areas that are, frankly, under investigation right now,” he said. The questions Mr. Holland asked on Wednesday, for exam- ple, pertained to military con- tracts that have been signed. A challenge Mr. Holland faces in his new position is that Min- ister of Public Works and Gov- ernment Services Michael Fortier doesn’t sit in the House of Com- mons, but in the Senate, so he cannot answer direct questions. “Public works is an area that is all about accountability and the person who is the minister is unelected and can’t be asked a question and isn’t accountable because he’s in the Senate,” he said. Instead, Mr. Holland will have to direct his questions in the House to other representatives, such as Prime Minister Stephen Harper, other ministers or Mr. Fortier’s parliamentary secretary. Mr. Holland said his appoint- ment is a good opportunity and is something he looks forward to working on. *Oneperstateroom,basedondoubleoccupancy,whilesupplieslast.ValidforbookingsmadeOctober6-27,2007.**Nopurchasenecessary.ApproximateretailvalueoftheprizeisCAD$2,700.Enterinstoreoratwww.SearsTravel.ca.

Staying in Afghanistan until 2011. Getting tough on violent crime. A definitive stance against Kyoto. Stephen Harper’s minority government outlined its pri- orities for the upcoming leg- islative session in a Speech from the Throne on Tuesday night. “In the next session, our Government will focus on five clear priorities,” said Governor General Mi- chaelle Jean, reading from the speech. “Strengthening Canada’s sovereignty and place in the world; building a stronger federation; provid- ing effective economic lead- ership; continuing to tackle crime; and improving our environment.” Looking over the speech, Professor Nelson Wiseman sees a “smorgasbord” of broad statements that are typical of a throne speech. “There is nothing surpris- ing here,” says the professor of political science at the University of Toronto, who specializes in Canadian politics. “There is something from every department.” But while the speech may not hold many politi- cal surprises, does it contain contentious legislation that could possibly trigger an election? Already the New Demo- cratic Party, led by Jack Lay- ton, and the Bloc Quebecois, led by Gilles Duceppe, have stated they will likely vote against the speech. The Lib- erals, led by Stephane Dion, have indicated they will vote for it, with a few changes. Dr. Wiseman says he ex- pects the throne speech to be approved, but foresees an election in the spring of 2008 as the legislation hinted at in the speech comes before the House for a vote. “No government has ever fallen on a throne speech,” he said. “It could, but I don’t expect it will happen.” The devil, he says, is in the details of the legislation. He expects the Conserva- tive government -- which is often perceived as being tough on crime -- to try to push the Liberals into an election over its new Tack- ling Violent Crime bill. “Then they can say during the election that the Liberals are soft on crime,” Dr. Wise- man said. The opposition parties will want the government to fall on other priorities, with the Liberals possibly looking at issues on the environment. Although the opposition will have several opportuni- ties over the next few days to bring down the govern- ment, Dr. Wiseman believes the real political maneuver- ing will occur in the coming months. Of importance in the next few weeks will be public opinion polls, Dr. Wiseman said. “The polls will determine the position of the parties.” Highlights: - Canada will lead efforts to address climate change worldwide but will not be able to meet its commitment to cut greenhouse gas emis- sions under the Kyoto Pro- tocol. - A one-percentage point cut to the GST, which will be out- lined in the fall economic up- date to be given by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. - Creation of a world-class arctic research station to study environmental science and resource development. As part of asserting sover- eignty in the North, the gov- ernment will undertake to map the Arctic seabed - Parliament will vote on the military mission in Afghani- stan beyond February 09. Canada should accelerate its training of the Afghan army and the Afghan police and stay until 2011 to make sure that is completed - Legislation to limit federal spending power for new shared–cost programs in areas of exclusive provincial legislation. - Government will reintro- duce comprehensive bill on Tackling Violent Crime, which will include measures on impaired driving, age of sexual consent, stricter bail condition and mandatory prison terms for gun crimes.

So, she’s created incentives for peo- ple to do just that. Zara Davis, owner of Sweet Dreams Furniture, has organized a Donate to Win Food Drive. To be eligible to win, just drop off a minimum of three non- perishable food items to receive a bal- lot for two draws for furniture. Davis notes it was a natural thing for her to do to help the Ajax-Pickering Salvation Army amass food items to help those less fortunate in the com- munity. “I recently read in (the News Adver- tiser) that the food bank had run out of pasta for the first time in 17 years,” Ms. Davis said. “This blew my mind and I decided to do something to help.” Up for grabs are a twin bed and mat- tress and a futon frame and eight-inch mattress. Draws are on Thursday, Nov. 15 and Saturday, Dec. 15. The winner of the first draw will choose from the two prizes, and the second draw winner will receive the remaining piece of fur- niture. Sweet Dreams Furniture is at 41 Har- wood Ave. S., at Doric Street in Ajax. Hours of operation are Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call 905-426- 9911 or visit www.sweetdreamsfurni- ture.com.

CORRECTION NOTICE THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 19, 2007 PAGE 19 A/Pdurhamregion.com Green, blue or black — ins and out of sorting garbage Region clarifies what goes where to assist residents with diversion By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Region boasts a more than 50 per cent waste diversion rate, but some residents are still confused about what goes where. Durham operates green bin, blue box and black bag systems, but waste doesn’t always end up in the correct place and, as a result, more residents are seeing their waste left curbside. “The materials have not changed,” ex- plained Katherine Ross-Perron, a waste technician with the Region. “We have always had our standard list of materials.” But, when the new waste collection contract started on July 1, she said things became a bit stricter. Sometimes drivers will pick up the unacceptable material, but Ms. Ross-Perron said it ends up in the garbage in the end. “Once it gets to the curb it is up to the driver to sort through the boxes and put the right material within the truck,” she said. “Often a lot of the drivers will take ma- terial as a courtesy to the resident, but it is actually disposed of at the end of the day.” According to Ms. Ross-Perron, there are some commonly misplaced items. Take- out coffee cups originally were acceptable in the green bin, but it was discovered that the liner is in fact plastic and it wasn’t breaking down in the compost stream so now they go in the garbage. Egg cartons, plant pots and plastic jugs over 10 litres, often end up in the blue box, but are not recyclable. Also plastic containers, like the kind muffins, berries and takeout food come in, are not acceptable in the blue box stream. “The best solution is to avoid buying products that contain these poly-styrene material, but if that is impossible, we do encourage residents to put it in the gar- bage stream,” she said. Some of the stranger misplaced items include shoes, plastic toys, pots and pans, drinking glasses and even pool covers. Plastic bags formerly would have gone in the garbage, but a partnership in diver- sion between the Region and retailers now enables residents to take bags back to a number stores in the region. “But, always the best option is to use reusable bags,” Ms. Ross-Perron said. Perhaps one of the most confusing as- pects of the Region’s waste management program is which bags should residents use in the green bin. “In order to get the high quality com- post we are getting from our residents we have no plastic in the green bin,” Ms. Ross-Perron explained. “That is why we have introduced our program with the biodegradable liner bags and we encour- age residents to look for the certifications on the boxes to purchase the correct liner bags.” Getting the message out that residents need to use 100-per cent compostable bags has always been a challenge and it is something the Region is still battling. Even though Toronto and other nearby municipalities will accept plastic bags in their compost stream, the use of a plastic bag in Durham will result in the green bin being left on the curb with a rejection sticker on it. “Even though some bags say they are a recycling green bag, they are made from plastic,” Ms. Ross-Perron said. “Technically they are not lying when they advertise on the box that it is for kitchen organics because residents in areas like Toronto can use those bags, but in Durham Region we do not want to see these bags within our compostable stream.” She said the Region is trying to get shelf talker in stores so when residents are at their point of purchase, they see the sign, ‘acceptable in Durham Region’ indicating the correct bags to purchase. Katherine Ross-Perron, a waste technician with the Region of Durham, displays a variety of items that are not compatible with the recy- cling programs in the Region.

Of course, the blood on the wall is simu- lated, as is the chaotic murder scene in the living room and the shattered windshields of the cars parked out front. It’s all part of an innovative “crime house,” where the UOIT faculty of science stages mock crime scenes for students in its foren- sic science program. “The house helps so much,” says Ms. Banosch, a second-year student in the pro- gram. “It’s going to give us a head start in the work world.” Students use the staged evidence to prac- tice skills like collecting DNA, fingerprints and footwear impressions. The crime scene house is also used by the Durham Regional Police Service to train its officers. Each room in the house -- which is ac- tually a ranger cabin on the Camp Samac property near campus -- is equipped with a video camera so UOIT professors can monitor students as they conduct investi- gations. The house has been in use as a pilot project for the past two years, and was of- ficially opened with the cutting of ceremo- nial crime scene tape Wednesday. “Students don’t get this type of experi- ence anywhere else, the house is the first of its kind in Ontario, if not in Canada,” said Kimberly Nugent, an instructor with the UOIT forensic science program. “It al- lows them to practice the techniques in a realistic setting, instead of just sitting in a classroom and learning the theories.” Dr. William Smith, dean of the UOIT’s faculty of science, says the idea for the house came about as he was developing the forensic science program in 2003, and visited a similar house in the United King- dom. He believes the house gives UOIT stu- dents an advantage, as does the fact that the school’s forensic science program is ac- tually a Bachelor of Science degree, which means a strong emphasis on essentials like chemistry and biology. This is the third year the UOIT forensic science program has been offered, and it’s growing with about 20 students in third year, 30 in second year and 55 in first year. “It’s definitely not what people think of when they watch shows like CSI -- just look at what we’re wearing,” said student Ash- ley Morisson form behind her face mask. “But I think this will be a good job for me. I think there’s a good sense of self worth that would come with helping to solve a crime and put it to rest.” UOIT officially unveils crime scene house for students Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Jenna VanOsch demonstrates forensic techniques during the unveiling of UOIT’s new crime scene house recently.

Steve Cardwell and Fred Ford of the Whitby Dunlops appeared be- fore the Region’s finance and ad- ministration committee recently to ask the committee to help the hockey team become a bigger part of the Region. “What we are asking for is to be a bigger part of Durham Region than we currently are,” Mr. Ford said. The team would like to partner with the Region and be included in Durham’s advertising promo- tion. The men asked the Region to purchase season tickets, a Dun- lops’ jersey to hang in Regional headquarters and an advertise- ment in the game-night pro- grams. “The Dunnies are a sports tour- ism attraction,” Mr. Ford said. “But we can’t do it all with gate re- ceipts.” The total amount the men are looking for from the Region is $5,649. The Region’s finance and ad- ministration committee referred the request to the economic devel- opment committee to see if there is money in the budget and if the request fits into their policies.

I was on set as an extra on Mike Myer’s film, The Love Guru. Film crews took over the GM Centre giving it a facelift to look like the Air Canada Cen- tre. Pitka, played by Mr. Myers, is an American raised outside of his country by gurus. He re- turns to the U.S. in order to break into the self-help busi- ness. His first challenge: To set- tle the romantic troubles and subsequent professional skid of a star hockey player, played by Romany Malco, whose wife left him for a rival athlete. In the film, Mr. Malco (from such films as Blades of Glory and The 40 year old Virgin) is the Toronto Maple Leafs star player, No. 77 Darren Roanoke. In the course of three hours I had the chance to see the To- ronto Maple Leafs kick the butts of the Pittsburgh Penguins, LA Kings, and Detroit Red Wings. There are rumours on set that this movie gives Leafs fans the chance to see a Stanley Cup celebration. I was there to see three play- off game scenes. All of which looked pretty positive for the Blue and White. My day as an extra lasted four hours. All I had to do was cheer for the home team, the Toronto Maple Leafs... not a stretch from reality. First I started off at the very back. I waited more than an hour for the first scene to be ready for filming. In the scene Roanoke scores what looks to be a winning goal against the Detroit Red Wings. Then he hits the ice and proceeds to paddle like he’s in a row boat. A lot of the fancy stick work done by Mr. Malco is without a puck. Maybe with a little help from a computer whiz even I could be as good as the Great One. As an extra you’re always on the move. After the first scene I was off to the far side of the ice. I was ready to start cheering for the Leafs when I was asked to move up to the front. From the back row to a starring role? I was front and centre to boo the Penguins. For the next scene an oppos- ing player knocks down No. 77. Film crews had a giant pad on the ice for Mr. Malco to fall on. It was neat to see the magic of movies right in front of me. An extra, “Sam”, says that he was lucky enough to be sitting front row when Justin Timber- lake was on set in Oshawa last week. Mr. Timberlake plays LA Kings goaltender and Darren Roanoke’s nemesis, Jacques Grande. As great as it was to see the cameras roll, I don’t think I could handle being part of the background again. Most of the day is spent waiting for scenes to be ready for shooting. Al- though I hear the pay is good. “Don”, a security guard, says that most of the extras are with the Screen Actors Guild. “They get paid more than just a regular extra. They also work a lot more,” he said. He added he recognized al- most 65 per cent of the people from the previous day at a shoot for Don Cheadle’s new movie, Traitor. I think the old saying rings true ; “don’t quit your day job.” From movie extra to online reporter... that suits me just fine. $45 for Vendor Tables$45 for Vendor Tables necklaces www.sklargallery.com Exceptional Warranty Superior Construction Fast Delivery life • style • solutions OSHAWA Durham’s Newest & Largest Sklar Peppler Furnishings Store!ONELOCATI O N ONLY OSHAW A900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon. - Wed. 10am - 6pm • Thurs. & Fri. 10am - 9pm • Sat. 10am - 6pm • Sun. 11am - 5pm *Credit equal to the value of the GST.

Apparently you are not alone. According to a survey by Of- ficeTeam, nearly 30 per cent of respondents say they work with someone who is rude or unpro- fessional on the job. “Most employees will encoun- ter an unpleasant colleague at some point, and how they inter- act with these co-workers can affect their careers,” says Diane Domeyer, the executive director of OfficeTeam, a staffing service. “Tactfully handling challenging personalities requires strong in- terpersonal skills and diplomacy, which can help someone stand out for all the right reasons.” But just how do you cope with unpleasant personalities? OfficeTeam explains the com- mon types of difficult co-workers and offers tips on how to deal with them: The Belittler: Belitters rou- tinely tear others down in order to build themselves up. Put- downs, demeaning remarks and disparaging comments are com- mon trademarks of this person. Coping strategy: Your confi- dence is the belitter’s weakness and he/she will back off if you stand up for yourself. Try refut- ing the criticism by asserting yourself, using facts where pos- sible. The Credit Thief: Insecure about their status, credit thieves boldly steal your ideas and grab the glory when a project is suc- cessful. Curiously, they’re no- where to be found when things go wrong. Coping strategy: Keep a writ- ten record of your activities and accomplishments. Give your manager regular status reports about the projects you’re work- ing on and don’t hesitate to cor- rect misperceptions. The Saboteur: Saboteurs have a knack for leaving colleagues in the lurch. Similar to the belit- tler, they like to make others look bad. Their tactics aren’t always overt, so you may not realize you’re working with a saboteur until a critical deadline arrives. They, you find you’re unable to complete your part of the project because the saboteur has with- held important information. Coping strategy: Be sure your supervisor knows the roles and responsibilities of each team member and insist on regular progress reports. The Rumormonger: Rumor- mongers like drama and often spread half-truths or lies by talk- ing behind others’ backs. This is an especially dangerous type of co-worker because he or she has the ability to tarnish your reputa- tion. Coping strategy: The best de- fense is to avoid engaging in any kind of gossip. The Slacker: This person may try to pass off tasks to other staff members, often claiming to be “too busy” to help out. Coping strategy: Be sure this person carries his or her weight by documenting the responsibili- ties of each member. Hold every- one accountable for their portion of the project.

Lucy Stocco was given a unique piece of work, ‘Serenity’ by local art- ist Edward Falkenberg, at the Mayors’ Charity Classic recently. She is a vice president of Tribute Communities and has organized the Mayors’ Clas- sic for almost 12 years. The event has raised more than $1.4 million, which has gone to equipment purchases at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering Hospital (RVAP). She has also served as the menu and decor chairwoman of the Lancaster Ball, which raises funds for RVAP. “Lucy is a woman who brings with her every year her wealth of enthu- siasm, knowledge, creativity, friend- ship and spirit as a member of this tournament’s committee,” said Pat McNeil, past chairman of the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation, in a press release. “She is also a person to be reckoned with within the busi- ness community as Vice President of Tribute Communities.” The award is named after the co- founder and CEO of Tribute Com- munities, Howard Sokolowski, who has supported the Mayors’ Classic and the Rouge Valley Health System for many years. It recognizes individ- uals, groups or companies that have devoted their time and resources to help improve RVAP and health care in Durham Region. w. 22 Proud Sp o n s o r $19 .99 + TA X This Passport will keep you on the slopes all winter For just $19.99 you will receive: • 6 - FREE LIFT TICKETS (2 FOR 1) • 10 - FREE NIGHT LIFT TICKETS (2 FOR 1) • 2 - FREE EQUIPMENT RENTAL (2 FOR 1) • 2 - LESSONS FOR TWO FOR $60 All offers are valid Monday to Friday only *See descriptions and terms & conditions at www.passporttosavings.ca While supplies last 19 99$ The News Advertiser has acquired terrifi c deals from leading local merchants offering discounts at between 10 and 20 times the original value.

And each day, her reaction is the same. “I cry every day w hen I see them,” said Ms. Caswell. That’s not surpris- ing. It’s been only four months since she, along with husband Paul and the rest of the family, made the sombre trek down Hwy. 401 from Trenton to Toronto herself, accompanying the casket of her stepson, Troop- er Darryl Caswell. Trooper Caswell, 25, was killed in the line of duty June 11 in Afghanistan. Just six weeks from return- ing home from his six-month stint overseas, Trooper Cas- well was killed when the ve- hicle in which he was driving w as struck by an explosive device about 40 kilometres north of Kandahar City. Now, as reports stream in of the signs marking the road’s eastern stretch being stolen, the Caswells say they’re “dis- gusted” anyone would stoop so low. “They should get those guys and prosecute them,” said Trooper Caswell’s dad, Paul, this week. “Let them do a tour in Af- ghanistan.” “It’s disgraceful,” agreed Ms. Caswell. “It’s just wrong.” Three or four of the small signs that mark Hwy. 401 from Trenton to Toron- to have been stolen, said a spokesman for Northumber- land OPP earlier this week. One of the missing signs was posted in Port Hope and two of the signs in Trenton are missing. All are being quickly replaced. The small white Highway of Heroes signs beside the Hwy. 401 signs near highway on- ramps started going missing last week. Northumberland OPP are asking for help from the public in solving these thefts. The signs and the outpour- ing of support from the public are a boost to the grieving families, who make the trip from Trenton, as the Caswells did after their son’s death. “For the families, from ex- perience, you’re at a very low level, because you see it’s ac- tually real when they land the plane in Trenton ... You see the people on the bridges -- the police officers, emergen- cy response teams ... families, children -- it puts a smile on your face,” said Christine. The Caswells will head to Ottawa for Remembrance Day, to lay a wreath there, and visit Trooper Caswell’s grave. Family friends will lay a wreath in their son’s honour here, in Bowmanville, while Darryl’s grandmother will re- member him with a wreath at the Newcastle ceremony. The support since Trooper Caswell was killed has been enormous, the couple said. They just recently were able to visit a street named for their son by the Municipal- ity, and they have been told of plans to add his name to the cenotaph in his home- town. But, the grief is still very fresh, said Ms. Caswell. “It just sometimes takes your breath,” she said. -- files by Jennifer O’Meara For more on this story Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Paul and Christine Caswell are saddened by the recent reports that signs on the Highway for Heroes, the newly dubbed stretch of Hwy. 401 between Trenton and Toronto, have been stolen. The couple’s son, Darryl, a Canadian soldier, was killed in Kandahar in June. FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY ONLY! MONTHS!MONTHS! No Money Down!*No Interest! No Monthly Payments!

Paul MacGregor was informed by a lawyer with the Durham District School Board that his online petition calling for action against Brooklin Village P.S. principal Susan Reed is defamatory, and given until Oct. 15 to take it off line. But he’s refusing to do so. “I’m not backing down,” Mr. MacGregor said. “If they want to sue me, that’s an opportu- nity for the facts to be investigated.” He said he’s offered to delete any claims or comments on the website, but has been told nothing but removal will suffice from the board’s standpoint, a position confirmed by DDSB spokesperson Andrea Pidwerbecki: “The legal advice we got was to have the web- site taken down,” she said. “Some of it was considered offensive so a letter was issued asking him to take it down.” But Mr. MacGregor doesn’t consider the communication he got from the board a re- quest. It is, he believes, a threat. “It’s intimidation,” he said. Indeed, the letter sent to Mr. MacGregor last Tuesday, Oct. 9 and signed by both Ted Bartley, a board lawyer, and Whitby Superin- tendent Joe Hircock minces no words. Calling the petition’s content “defamatory”, the board, in the letter, demands its removal. “The purpose of this letter is to advise you that unless, by Oct. 15, 2007, you cease and de- sist in this pattern of conduct and remove all existing content from the website, I will have no choice but to recommend that this mat- ter be referred to outside legal counsel with instructions to commence civil litigation against you,” the letter states. The current state of affairs is the culmination of a series of disagreements, Mr. MacGregor said. His issues with Brooklin Village principal Susan Reed includes dis- putes over awards, fundraising events, busing and, this past June, a decision not to ob- serve the tradition of younger students lining school hallways on the last day of school and “clapping out” Grade 8 grads bound for high school. Mr. MacGregor said he was among parents to go to the school on June 28 to enquire about the decision; he said that although he was asked to leave he stayed, and joined other parents who applauded the graduating class. The next day, he said, a police officer de- livered to his door a document on board let- terhead titled “Warning of Trespass”, ordering him to stay off the school property or risk hav- ing police contacted, being charged with tres- passing, and facing a $5,000 fine. It’s signed by Susan Reed, principal of Brooklin Village P.S. Mr. MacGregor, citing what he described as a loss of confidence in Ms. Reed, said he ap- proached Whitby trustee John Dolstra to find out how to have her removed. “He advised me that I needed to start a peti- tion,” Mr. Mac- Gregor said. “He said he would need a couple hundred signatures and then he would realize there’s a concern here.” So Mr. MacGregor posted a petition, titled “Principal Susan Reed should be accountable to Parents” using an online form. As of Oct. 15 it had attracted several signatures. On Oct. 9 Mr. MacGregor received the letter from the board’s lawyer. Mr. Dolstra, contacted Friday, wouldn’t comment. Nor would he confirm or deny Mr. MacGregor’s assertion it was Mr. Dolstra who suggested a petition. Ms. Reed also referred questions to the board. She declined comment on the petition or the allegations it outlines. Ms. Pidwerbecki said she doesn’t know where the suggestion to start a petition came from. “I don’t know what John (Dolstra) advised or didn’t advise the man to do,” she said. She added that while it’s not unusual for parents to present board officials with peti- tions, she’s not seen an online forum for gath- ering signatures used before. “The troubling part is some of the content,” Ms. Pidwerbecki said. For his part Mr. MacGregor said he would edit any language the board finds defamatory, but rejects the order to eradicate the petition, a move he says is designed to stifle dissent among parents. “We always assumed there was recourse for parents and now we have found out that there is none,” he said. In the meantime, he’s begun an online discussion forum on Google for parents of children in Durham’s schools. The idea is to allow people the opportunity to discuss issues without fear of repercussions, Mr. MacGregor said. “There have been some people that have been afraid to sign that petition,” he said. “The reason it’s never been done before is the same reason people don’t want to sign it -- they’re afraid.” ‘We always assumed there was recourse for parents and now we have found out that there is none.’ DURHAM PARENT PAUL MACGREGOR Sudoku It’s fun It’s challenging It’s addictive!durhamregion.comNOW ONLINE 48 1 7 8 6 7 3 576 1 86 9 5 6 7 687 3 91 4 19 24 Check it out at THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 19, 2007 PAGE 33 A/Pdurhamregion.com And theAnd the winners are ...winners are ... www.readerschoicedurham.com 2007 See the Winners at www.readerschoicedurham.com Look for your favourite:Look for your favourite: RestaurantRestaurant Clothing StoreClothing Store Car DealershipCar Dealership And much moreAnd much more From over 160 categories.From over 160 categories. of a $500 shopping spree from Pickering Town Centre (see website for details) Find out in theFind out in the October 28th issue ofOctober 28th issue of The News Advertiser.The News Advertiser.

See if you’reSee if you’re a winnera winner Dozens in Durham ready to help out in a natural disaster, other emergencies By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — To his friends, Farncomb Le Gresley is known as Farny. He’s also been known to go by “VE3BHQ.” It’s a little less catchy, but for the 81-year-old Newcastle resi- dent, his radio call sign is as much a part of his identity as his name. Mr. Le Gresley has been a member of Durham’s North Shore Amateur Radio Club (NSARC) for years and his love for radios goes back to his teens. “When I was younger I was al- ways interested in science,” he says. “Radios were in their juvenile state at that time and I was very curious about how they worked.” He got his amateur radio li- cence in 1946 and since then has used radios as a hobby and a handy aid in the event of an emergency. Before cellphones were com- monplace, he can remember pull- ing over on an American highway and using a radio in his car to summon help for a stranded mo- torist. Closer to home, he put the call out the time Hwy. 401 was over- run with escaped llamas. He also transmitted messages between Florida and Alaska after the southern state was hit by a hurricane. “We’re here whenever we’re needed,” he says. In Durham Region, there are dozens of amateur radio volun- teers standing by to help in the event of a natural disaster, black- out or other emergency. They are part of the Region of Durham’s Emergency Manage- ment Program and are trained to relay messages to police, fire, paramedics and anyone else in- volved in handling an emergen- cy. And, as of this week, emergen- cy communications in Durham will be even more efficient. The NSARC recently used a $26,900 Trillium Foundation grant and funds from the club and its donors to build a new radio repeater site at Purple Woods Conservation Area in rural north Oshawa. According to project manager Ken Koronovich, the new site will allow for better communication throughout north and south Dur- ham. “Before, you could barely com- municate with some parts of Os- hawa, even with a high-powered radio,” he said. “Now, you can communicate with a low-powered radio, which is good if there’s no power, be- cause the battery will last longer.” The new site also features an emergency generator that can keep the repeater up and running for 16 days. While amateur radio enthusi- asts play a vital role in emergen- cies, Mr. Koronovich says there is a lot of fun to be had too. In the four years since he joined the NSARC, he has talked to peo- ple around the world, most re- cently chatting with a Nova Scotia native on Canada Day. “You meet interesting people, you share ideas, it’s just a great hobby,” he says. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 34 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 19, 2007 Pay in 24 equal monthly installments, interest free.

Modelling is strictly a hobby for this 20-year-old, who entered the Miss Canada Globe pageant series this spring just for the experience. She won her regional competi- tion in March to be named Miss Central Ontario and spent the next five months preparing to compete nationally. In August, Ms. Wilson fin- ished ahead of 65 other competitors to be named Miss Canada Globe. With it comes the chance to rep- resent Canada at the Miss Globe In- ternational pageant being held in Australia Sept. 15 to Oct. 1. Ms. Wilson also received a $3,000 cash prize, her evening gowns from the event, and a chance to tour the country promoting and aiding vari- ous charity organizations. Since taking reign, Ms. Wilson has appeared at such events as the AIDS Walk for Life, Terry Fox Run and the Run for a Cure, said pageant execu- tive officer Mias Santa Ana Pilar. “It’s the same concept as the tra- ditional Miss Canada but instead of them being a beauty title holder, our winners are humanitarian title hold- ers,” she added. Miss Wilson, who has spent this month visiting the Toronto, Mon- treal and Vancouver Fashion Weeks, recommends the experience to oth- ers as a way to improve communica- tion skills and self-esteem. “It was a lot of fun. I got to experi- ence it with my family,” she said. “My sister had been in pageants be- fore and my mom made my evening gown.” Miss Wilson said she’s also enjoy- ing the chance to see Canada. Born in Jamaica, she and her family emi- grated to Canada when she was six. A former student of All Saints Catholic Secondary School, Miss Wilson has danced with Club Carib in Oshawa and is currently a mem- ber of the Caribbean Dance Theatre in Toronto. She volunteers with John Dryden Public School, where her sister teaches, and has spoken to stu- dents at Sinclair Secondary School about her pageant experience. Kim Robertson exhibiting work at Ajax Creative Arts Show and Sale this weekend By Fariha Naqvi-Mohamed Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — Enjoying life’s sim- ple pleasures and painting the animals she loves is what helps artist Kim Robertson excel as a painter. “S o m e b o d y once told me I should paint something I love, so I started painting my dogs, and the paint- ings sell,” says the Uxbridge resi- dent and mother of three. Robertson is this year’s fea- tured artist for the Ajax Creative Arts (ACA) show and sale that began today and continues this weekend. Describing herself as some- one who is able to capture the emotional component of a sub- ject, and bring it out through her work, Robertson thrives on the emotional euphoria her paint- ings bring to some of her clients. From the twinkle in the eye of a child, to the love and compas- sion in the expression on a dog’s face, Ms. Robertson says “every- one who sees my work gets a warm feeling from it.” Her experience working as a professional graphic designer for the Yellow Pages helped culti- vate her artistic tendencies and enabled her to better express herself on the canvas. “Being an artist can be a very lonely occupation,” she says, adding that’s why she joined Ajax Creative Arts (ACA). She loves the company of fellow art- ists, who regularly work on their paintings at the Village Com- munity Centre, as well as the feedback and support the club offers. “Very talented,” is how Dawn Hammond, publicity co-ordina- tor for ACA, describes Ms. Rob- ertson. “Her work is very soft and detailed.” It’s one of the reasons Ms. Hammond has purchased many of her art cards in the past. Ms. Robertson prides herself on being able to display her art- work at local venues such as Port Perry and Uxbridge coffee shops, a dentist’s office in Pickering and a chiropractor’s office. “It’s really important to us (artists); there aren’t too many venues available for people to see artwork,” she says. She shares that it’s comforting and important to see local art in everyday settings, for the artist as well as the public. Ms. Robertson’s piece ‘Home Alone’, of a lonely dog waiting beside a brick wall, has been chosen for the event door prize. This year marks the 41st anni- versary of ACA’s Fall Art Show. The show is at the Village Com- munity Centre, 22 Sherwood Rd. (at Linton Avenue, near Kings- ton Road and Church Street), in Pickering Village, Ajax. It’s open to the public tonight until 9 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free and all are welcome.

Special expires end of 2007 season Perdita pays a visit to alma mater Return to Pine Ridge shot by CBC for Beijing coverage By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Returning to your hometown and checking out your alma mater instantly rekindles memories of special times, places and people. When Perdita Felicien, reigning world silver medallist in the 100- metre hurdles, returned to her for- mer high school, Pine Ridge Second- ary School, on Wednesday morning reminiscing took on a whole new meaning. Driving up to the parking lot with her mother, Cathy Moe, along for the morning, the two-time Olym- pian and two-time world champi- on hurdler found out quickly that it wouldn’t be just a normal walk- about at her old stomping grounds. Waiting for her in the parking lot with cameras and boom mikes at the ready was a camera crew and producer from CBC Sports, which would be filming a segment on her visit back to Pine Ridge as one of the many vignettes surrounding the network’s Olympic coverage in Bei- jing next year. Along with several technicians and a cameraman was producer Karen Sebesta who, upon learning that there would be other media covering the event (that would be us, the Ajax-Pickering News Adver- tiser, as well as a camera crew from the media program at Pine Ridge), requested the entourage keep a re- spectful distance behind the cam- eraman and, of course, be as quiet as possible. Upon exchanging greetings in the parking lot, Felicien intimated that although she’s used the track from time to time for individual training, she had not been inside her old school for some time. “It’s nostalgic being back here,” she commented. The school “seems big to me after so many years.” The media throng, it seems, doesn’t seem to faze the easygo- ing and talkative Olympian; she’s comfortable in her own skin, willing to go along with whatever’s on the itinerary for the morning. Upon walking with her mother, with cameras rolling, into the main foyer of the school, she was asked by Sebesta if she knew where her old school locker was located. The ques- tion brings a momentary perplexed look to the face of the seven-time Canadian hurdling champ, who noted she couldn’t quite remember. Then, as if it suddenly became clear, she recalled the location. Upon entering the school, Fel- icien was overcome with joy by the appearance at the bottom of the steps of her former phys. ed teacher Pam Masales, who’s since retired, and Mark Blanchfield, who’s still on staff at Pine Ridge. Masales and Blanchfield were on hand for sepa- rate interviews with the CBC crew about high school life for Felicien. After the trio engaged in a brief chat, Felicien and her mother continued their stroll through the halls of Pine Ridge, stopping at the school’s Hall of Fame, just outside of the gymnasium, to glance up at the photos on the wall, some of which contained the Olympic hurdler, who attended the school between 1995 and 1999 before heading off to the University of Illinois on a full track and field scholarship. At Pine Ridge, she represented the school at nu- merous LOSSA and OFSAA track meets, not only winning medals in her specialty, but also in the 100- metre and 200-metre events. But, there was one particular photo she was unaware had been added to the sizeable collection. Overlooking the entrance to the sports hall was one of her follow- ing her gold-medal triumph at the 2003 world championships in Ste. Denis, France. A picture of joy, she’s proudly draped in the Canadian flag that flutters behind her. “When was that done?” she asked. Moving down to the gymnasi- um area, Felicien held court with a number of well-wishers on the school’s staff, including Cam Nek- kers, Andrew Lue, and current track coach Amanda Miles-Berry, who introduced the world champion hurdler to the newest crop of fe- male track athletes at the school. The small group of girls appeared awestruck, relishing the chance to chat informally with Felicien. Watching the proceedings from a distance was Moe, who’s been with her daughter through thick and thin in her track career. She beamed with pride when discussing her daugh- ter. “She’s a wonderful daughter; she takes good care of her family; she loves her family,” explained Moe. “Put it this way, I’m blessed, blessed to have her in my life. She makes us proud. I’m blessed with all my chil- dren.” With that, the film crew and Fe- licien, still chatting to the group of Pine Ridge athletes, moved out the side doors of the school and out on to the track that’s been newly resur- faced. The track and field athletes gather around Felicien in a semicircle and, with cameras on, she gives them some advice. What’s most impor- tant, she said, is simply having fun with the sport. “As a professional, there’s so much psychology involved in it. Enjoy it, just enjoy this time when you’re training.” She’s asked if she remembers when the 80-metre hurdles events in her midget and junior years turned into the 100-metre events by her senior seasons. “I was scared,” she said of her initial introduction to the 100-metre hurdles event. “But, once you get the rhythm, it’s no problem.” Did she attempt the 400-metre hurdles event in high school? “I would die,” she noted with a laugh. “I’m much too short for that.” Does she remember competing at OFSAA? “The OFSAA experience was great. There is so much I learned then that I apply now.” When asked to see her silver medal from the worlds at Osaka, her mother produces it from her purse. The medal comes engraved with her name, done mere hours after the event. The track girls were suitably im- pressed with the medal, but some- thing else impressed them every bit as much. “Where did you get your boots?” one of the girls inquired. “I got them at the Nike store in Toronto. I really like them,” Felicien replied with a laugh.

She makes us proud.’ CATHY MOE, FELICIEN’S MOTHER Sports briefs OCTOBER 19, 2007 [ Swimming ] Pickering club hosts first meet PICKERING — The Pickering Swim Club hosts its first home meet of the swim calendar this weekend.

[ Hockey ] Big week earns Small big award PICKERING — A St. Mary Catholic Secondary School gradu- ate and former senior hockey player is the toast of Canadian uni- versity sports this week. Erin Small, a rookie with the University of Guelph Gryphons women’s hockey team, was named female ath- lete of the week for Canadian In- teruniversity Sport for the week ending Oct. 14. Small, 18, a forward with the Gry- phons, tallied six points in two outings to lead the No. 7 Gryphons to a pair of wins over nationally-ranked op- ponents. She scored her first career hat trick last Wednesday in a 4-1 victory over reigning OUA champion and No. 5-ranked Wilfrid Laurier Uni- versity Golden Hawks and assisted on all three Gryphon goals in a 3-2 overtime win over No. 6 University of Toronto Varsity Blues on Sunday. Guelph (4-1-0-0) is tied for the OUA lead with the Windsor Lancers (4-1-0-0) and the York Lions (4-1-0-0) after five games. Small, of Pickering, is studying arts at the U. of Guelph.
