Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 15, 2008 By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The message of the 2008 federal election is that Canadians want par- liament to work, says re-elected Pickering- Scarborough East Liberal MP Dan Mc- Teague. One of six candidates in the riding, Mr. McTeague won with 19,415 votes with Con- servative candidate George Khouri finishing second with 13,215 at press time with 211 of 230 polls reporting. Although Mr. McTeague was the favourite to win, he said he was still nervous as the final numbers started coming in. “It’s never a given,” he said to the media after he was announced the winner at the Jukebox Live Resto Lounge in Pickering. Mr. McTeague said after spending $400 million in taxpayers money, the Conser- vatives won’t get a majority after all, and are pretty much in the same position they were in before Conservative Leader Stephen Harper called the election. Pickering-Scar- borough East MPP Wayne Arthurs shared similar thoughts when he came to congratu- late his fellow Liberal. “It looks like a big waste of time and taxpayers money,” he said before the final numbers were announced, adding he wasn’t surprised in the least that Mr. McTeague won. Dorsey James, a local sculptor, volun- teered on Mr. McTeague’s campaign and has been doing so for a number of years. “He’s always been a supporter of the arts,” he said. Mr. James was a scrutineer and could see Mr. McTeague winning as the polls came to a close. “He won in all his ridings that I was cover- ing anyway,” he said. Shirley Gawman was the campaign’s can- vas chairwoman and has been helping with Mr. McTeague’s campaigns sine he first ran in the former Ontario riding in 1993. “I knew he was going to win,” she said after giving Mr. McTeague a big hug. “He’s a great guy.” Mr. McTeague plans to continue standing up for wounded soldiers upon returning from Afghanistan and hammering away on the issue of energy prices and helping to ensure that gas prices are fair. For Durham in particular, he said there have to be more job opportunities, more affordable educa- tion and transit issues have to be tackled, which is something he continuously heard throughout the campaign. He said there should be a train running from the Scar- borough Town Centre to the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. “That seems to me to be a reasonable place to put $150 million,” he said, adding it would make a lot more sense than the train running from Union Station in Toronto to Peterborough. Mr. McTeague said although he and his opponents disagreed on a number of points, he truly appreciated their hard work and they all ran great campaigns. By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Even after news media called Liberal Mark Holland the winner, supporters at Conservative Rick Johnson’s election headquarters still remained hope- ful. In the end though, their hope wasn’t enough. “I just called Mark Holland and congratu- lated him on his victory,” said Mr. Johnson, Ajax-Pickering’s Conservative candidate, around 11 p.m. Mr. Holland was re-elected with 21,607 votes and 44.3 per cent of the vote with all 212 of 212 polls reporting. Mr. Johnson was well back with 18,471 votes and 37.8 per cent of the vote. At his campaign headquarters, the stone mansion on the corner of Brock Road and Hwy. 2 in Pickering, the mood went from optimistic to quiet. “In this particular riding, I think Mark has done a good job and will continue to work hard for this community,” Mr. John- son said. Wednesday morning, he’ll resume his position as a Pickering regional councillor. He’ll also continue to work with Mr. Hol- land on federal issues that affect his riding, such as the airport. Throughout the hour in which polls were coming in, Mr. Johnson’s campaign man- ager stayed optimistic, even when he was trailing by more than 700 votes. “Yeah, but none of the advance votes are in yet,” said campaign manager Tom Simp- son, around 10:30 p.m. Upstairs, people continued to quickly walk around, bouncing the chandelier in the front hallway. In a backroom with a television, Mr. Johnson gathered with a small group of people. Mr. Johnson knew it was going to be a tight race. “Mark is a very strong opinionated man,” Mr. Johnson said. Mr. Holland’s goal in life has been federal politics, he added. ‘This was the toughest race I ever went through’ By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Mark Holland is heading back to Ottawa for a third term. The Liberal turned back five challengers in what he called “the toughest race I ever went through.” Mr. Holland led almost from the begin- ning as returns started to roll in but he never built the huge lead he did in the 2006 elec- tion. “Wow, what a night,” Mr. Holland said as he began addressing about 200 campaign workers and supporters. “When politics is hard, it’s when it needs us the most. In some ways, we can say it’s a difficult time for our party,” Mr. Holland said. “Our party needs us more than ever. “I’ll roll up my sleeves and do that work. The next time, we won’t be talking about a Conservative minority government, but a Liberal majority government,” he said. Mr. Holland finished with 21,607 votes, followed by Conservative Rick Johnson with 18,471. In third was New Democratic Party candidate Bala Thavarajasoorier with 4,472, Mike Harilaid of the Green Party with 3,605, Kevin Norng of the Christian Heritage Party with 426 and Libertarian Party candidate Stephanie Wilson with 177. The Liberal party “needs change. We have to use our power for noble purposes, not for power, but so we can do great and noble things for our country,” he told his support- ers. “Make no doubt about it. This is no blank cheque for Stephen Harper. We know we will be successful next time. “Politically, this was the toughest race I ever went through,” he said Mr. Holland “dedicated this win to my mom (Marion).” During an interview, Mr. Holland said the results left him “ecstatic. It was a tough campaign nationally and it was hard-fought locally. We put everything into this.” The results nationally mean people “expect to see change. They want renewal and change.” For now, he’ll “hold the government to ac- count. I’ll do what we’ve done in the past.” During the election, “we knew we wouldn’t form the government,” Mr. Holland said. “We knew from the beginning it would be tough. It was the toughest race I’ve been in. “People didn’t understand our leader or our message,” he said. “We have to respect the voters. We have to do a lot better communicating with voters.” “There needs to be fundamental change. We have to focus on Canadians. We have to explain our message in a simple way.” Holland wins in Ajax-Pickering Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Mark Holland is congratulated by his sister, Sommer Holland after being re-elected as MP for Ajax-Pickering. newsdurhamregion.com Watch a video at newsdurhamregion.com McTeague says $400 million wasted on election Johnson to continue serving Pickering San Francisco By the Bay developers don’t want to pay City’s request By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Two years after San Francisco By the Bay got the go-ahead, developers were back before Pickering councillors on Oct. 6. This time it wasn’t about residents upset with the Bayly Street development, but in regards to the more than $500,000 the City is requesting from SRandR Bay Ridges Ltd. in parkland pay- ment. The City requires five per cent of the market value of residential lands in lieu of parkland since the development will not include a park. There are two different ways to calculate what developers owe and staff claims the City al- ready chose the smallest amount possible since the alternative is more than $5.5 million. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley said she thinks the developers are already getting a good deal. “I think if we start doing this for everyone we are doing a disservice to the taxpayer,” she said. SRandR’s lawyer, William Friedman, argued his client should only have to pay $150,000 since he thought the City overshot its calcu- lations. And since SRandR has already paid $200,000, it’s requesting a $50,000 reimburse- ment. Mr. Friedman argued the City will get buffer and valley lands for park and public recreation purposes. He also said the City can request land, money, or a combination, but not both. “You can’t double-dip,” he said. But City staff in its report state public buffer lands are a requirement of Toronto and Region Conservation since they’re necessary to protect the natural heritage system. “The City does not accept valley lands, envi- ronmental buffer areas, or other lands unsuit- able for park development as parkland dedica- tion,” the report states. Mr. Friedman disagreed with what the City called buffer lands and felt the City was re- questing 11.3 per cent of land as opposed to five per cent. He argued SRandR will make improvements to the buffer lands for $46,000, but the City said site improvements are simply a requirement for any major development in Pickering. Staff said in conversations SRandR argued it’s providing a small park for kids, which the City said is good, but it’s on private SRandR lands. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson said his first observation when looking at the report is “in fact we are double-dipping on it.” Although he hopes the issue doesn’t go to the Ontario Municipal Board, Mayor Dave Ryan supports staff’s request and said any reduction would “be a betrayal of the taxpayers of this municipality.” The City’s lawyer, Andrew Allison, and Mr. Friedman will sit down and discuss the request before the issue comes back to Council on Oct. 20.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers in Saskatchewan aided Dur- ham cops in the case, which was launched after several shots were fired at a vehicle in late May. Police said someone opened fire on a silver BMW as it left an industrial plaza in the area of Bayly Street and Brock Road on the evening of May 28. No one was injured. On Friday Durham cops an- nounced the arrest of a man in Sas- katoon in connection with the inci- dent. Adrian Charles, 22, of Whitby, is charged with conspiracy to com- mit murder and two counts of at- tempted murder.

Durham police said a male clerk working in an Olco gas bar at Kings- ton and Fairport roads was robbed by two masked men as he counted the daily receipts shortly before 11 p.m. The suspects fled with cash and the clerk’s cellphone, Durham police said.

Durham College receives $840,000 for new equipment DURHAM — A critical care nursing program at Durham College got a pre- scription of $840,000 for new equipment. The provincial government recently announced the one-time funding to sup- port the school’s Critical Care Nursing E-Learning graduate certificate program. “This funding will allow us to strength- en our partnerships and provide more opportunities for new and experienced nurses throughout Ontario to gain train- ing in an area that is critical to our prov- ince’s future health-care needs,” said Sandra Goldsworthy, co-ordinator of the Critical Care Nursing program. On a needs basis, Durham College will distribute the funds to its 10 simulation partners across Ontario. Money will aug- ment existing simulation labs and facili- ties. Among the equipment being pur- chased are mechanical ventilators, defi- brillators and triple-channel volumetric infusion pumps. “The provincial government’s invest- ment in our critical care program will ensure students have access to the most up-to-date equipment during the simu- lation portion of their training, providing them with a significant advantage during their studies,” said Susan Sproul, dean of the Durham College School of Health and Community Services. Partner institutions receiving funds are: Cambrian, Centennial, Confederation, Fanshawe, Georgian, Northern, Sault and Seneca colleges, along with Queen’s University and the University of Wind- sor. Two new simulation partners will be added within the next 12-to-18 months. The funding announcement comes one year after the college received a $1 million contract from the health ministry to establish the program as part of an ini- tiative to improve the quality of nursing care throughout the province. The program began in September 2007 to standardize education and meet the new provincial standards for critical care, while increasing accessibility for Ontario nurses. The first graduating class will be cel- ebrated at this year’s Durham College fall convocation. Funding supports nursing program THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 15, 2008 PAGE 5 A/Pdurhamregion.com But company plans to be in Durham for next 100 years By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Will General Motors ever be a powerhouse hiring organization again? That’s what one Regional councillor want- ed to know when a GM vice-president re- cently addressed Durham council. “We are a powerhouse hiring organiza- tion, unfortunately it’s in Russia, China and Southeast Asia,” said David Paterson, vice- president of corporate and environmental affairs for GM Canada, in response to a ques- tion from Oshawa Councillor John Henry. When Coun. Henry pressed for a more local answer, Mr. Paterson said he didn’t foresee it given the changes the company is going through. “I don’t see in this community we’ll be seeing vast amounts (of new hires), but we will have ups and downs.” However, he did discuss future products coming to the Oshawa car plant, includ- ing the Camaro, three new fuel-efficient front-wheel drive cars and what will be the first Canadian hybrid. The popularity of the product will determine how much hiring is done in Durham. “The biggest factor we will face is what you as a consumer will do,” he said. And in the wake of GM’s 100th birthday, Mr. Paterson also sees a continued presence for the company in Oshawa. “I can tell you we plan to be here for the next 100 years, around the world and here in Durham Region.” Still, the company is facing the perfect storm of rising gas prices and a slumping housing market in the United States where contractors simply aren’t buying trucks any- more. A high Canadian dollar also hurt GM Can- ada’s competitiveness internationally and all of that played a role in the announced closure of the truck plant in Oshawa. “Here in Durham Region we’ve had an awful summer,” he said, but added that with many workers taking the package offered by the company, the plant will be closed with- out any long-term layoffs. Overall, Mr. Paterson said the company has a plan to keep moving forward. “We’ve been in crisis management mode and change mode for a good five years and we’re working through. We have a solid plan, we know where we’re going,” AJAX — Santa Claus is coming to town. The Ajax Santa Claus Parade is on Sat.

The first was a story about our Regional Police force bargaining a new contract and using the compensation provided in other jurisdictions as their right. Then there were the Durham outside workers unhappy with a 3.25 per cent yearly increase for three years. Lastly, our regional finance commission- er is apparently giving the green light for a 4.9 per cent tax increase. Where do these groups think they live? When so many folks are facing devastat- ing decisions each day of their lives just to survive our police want more money based on their counterparts in Peel and York regions. Where is the next comparison? New York, San Francisco? It seems to me the compensation our public sector employees get should reflect the social and financial community in which we and they live. The same guidelines should apply to our Regional and City staff who need to learn to say ‘No’ to unreasonable and ill-timed demands and projects. Even the premier is recognizing it is time to stop the spiralling increases in taxes at all levels because the base taxpayer just can’t afford to keep coughing up the four to five per cent increases when incomes in the private and pension sector are seeing zero to two per cent improvements. From what I hear and read it will be some years before our economic system recov- ers and growth resumes. So it’s time our politicians and public sector employees act responsibly for the sake of all of us. Maurice Webster Oshawa Candidates could have spent money more wisely To the editor: Re: ‘The 10,000,000 Dollar Question’, News Advertiser, Oct. 8. Recently the question was put to the local candidates running in the federal election as to how they would spend $10 million. Dan McTeague answered he would spend one million of that to sue the prime minister for plagiarism in a speech made several years ago. Rick Johnson felt this was not enough to make an impact on health or infrastructure and would allocate the entire amount to an arts and culture centre. These answers were posted in the same issue that had on its cover a story about the food bank in Pickering, its appeal for food and help paying the $2,000 per month it pays for rent. I’m sure they would benefit from even a small portion of that amount. I would also be interested to hear from administrators of the Ajax hospital if $10 million would help them. This was a very interesting question and the answers given have provided much insight to how in touch the candidates are and how they would represent us in Otta- wa. Rob Mackay Ajax Education needs to meet needs of all children To the editor: I am a concerned parent of an eight-year- old girl who has ADHD, GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and a math disability. I spent a great deal of time and effort last year working with the vice principal and the SERT teacher to have her identified so she could have an educational assistant with her during her math lessons. Recently I was informed she would not have any EA support this year due to bud- getary constraints. The education system is failing my daughter. She is going to sink due to all the cuts in the education system. Without the EA her self-confidence and self-esteem will suffer. She will crash and burn. The McGuinty government needs to wake up and smell the coffee before all the children suffer.

PAGE 6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ October 15, 2008P Online Poll Vote @ newsdurhamregion.com Election leaves us as we were Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. That old line from the Who’s classic song, Won’t Get Fooled Again, applies in national and local terms to this federal election, which saw a virtual rerun of the January 2006 race. There were a few new faces -- Stephane Dion leading the Liberals, Elizabeth May the Greens -- but otherwise most of the players were the same. And so were the results. Here in what we could dub Greater Durham Region, all seven incumbents were returned to office. Five Conser- vatives, led by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty (Whitby-Oshawa), Minister of International Co-operation Bev Oda (Durham) and backbenchers Colin Car- rie (Oshawa), Barry Devolin (Haliburton- Kawartha Lakes-Brock) and Rick Norlock (Northumberland-Quinte West), were re-elected. They’re joined by Liberal stalwarts Dan McTeague (Pickering-Scar- borough East) and Mark Holland (Ajax- Pickering). Across the nation, Prime Minister Ste- phen Harper gambled he could snatch a majority by going to the polls a year early. It was a gamble that failed, partly because the country was in no mood for an elec- tion, partly because the economy tanked mid-campaign and partly because he couldn’t convince enough Canadians he deserved majority level support. He may never get a better chance. The Liberals were led, if that is the proper word, by their weakest leader in more than a century in Stephane Dion. Mr. Dion has little support in Quebec and maybe less outside his home province. He failed to properly explain his Green Shift plan and simply has failed to con- nect over the past two years with Canadi- ans. He is even less charismatic than Mr. Harper, which is saying something. As for the NDP, the Greens and the Bloc, they finished about where predict- ed, with each making gains largely at the expense of the Liberals. The NDP and Greens had stronger than expected campaigns, perhaps, winning support across the nation and showing there is some appetite for change, espe- cially with respect to action on climate. While the Greens didn’t win seats, their popular vote was substantially higher. It’s likely we’ll be back at it within two years. Will the results be any different than this time around?

This November, 1,200 Canadian students, including 400 from Durham, are heading to Ortona, Italy to honour and remember the Canadian soldiers who fought and died there. The 1943, eight-day fight against German forces cost 1,300-plus Canadian soldiers their lives – more than on D-Day, but it often ends up being overlooked, said David Robinson, the official event co-ordinator of ‘Remember- ing Ortona’ and head of Canadian and World Studies at Port Perry High School. “It was not only house-to-house fighting, it was room to room,” Mr. Robinson said. Fighting through Christmas Day, the Cana- dian soldiers ended up victorious in the battle, and provided urban warfare lessons used dur- ing D-Day and in other battles, Mr. Robinson said. “The Italian campaign is basically called the ‘Forgotten Campaign’ because D-Day gets all the press,” Mr. Robinson said. Responsible for student trips to Vimy Ridge, Hong Kong, and other significant Second World War sites, he began working on the Or- tona project after various veterans asked him to bring it to the attention of youth. In school, there’s only a small mention of it in history class, and even in Italy, many people outside Ortona don’t know about the battle, Mr. Robinson said. But the people inside Ortona remember. “The town of Ortona has never really recov- ered,” Mr. Robinson said. During the war, the townspeople hid their valuables in Ortona’s cathedral, which was completely destroyed by the Germans, Mr. Robinson said. Ortona was a main port, so the German’s knocked buildings into the streets to stop tanks from getting through. Most of the town’s men were also killed or drafted to Africa during the battle, he said. “The town, the city, if you look at the pictures you’ll understand – total devastation,” Mr. Rob- inson said. The 1,200 Canadian students visiting Ortona will make up the biggest group of any kind that’s ever visited the town, Mr. Robinson said. Students will recreate the famous Christmas dinner, eaten by Canadians soldiers in shifts at the local church while Christmas music played, Mr. Robinson said. They’ll also participate in a memorial cer- emony at Moro Cemetery, then walk the same route into Ortona the soldiers did – for which the highway will be closed. They’ll march to the city square in front of the cathedral for a ceremony with city officials and participate in other things to honour the Canadian soldiers. Two days later, they’ll go to St. Peter’s Ba- silica in the Vatican for a mass in honour of all Canadian soldiers who have fallen in battle. The students will actively participate in the mass, performing the duties of alter boys and girls. In Italy, school groups will also tour other historic locations. “In the past, we’ve found for many of the stu- dents it’s a life-changing event, and definitely memories for a life-time,” Mr. Robinson said. “They grow overnight; they’re more mature and more experienced.” Many students work a whole year prepar- ing for the trip, completing fundraising and researching dead soldiers. By the time they get in front of their grave, it’s like they know them, he said. Through the Hands Across A Generation Remembrance Program, every student will be matched with a soldier from Afghanistan and Ortona to represent as well, he said. Pickering High gets Italian AJAX — Pickering High School students are fundraising Italian style. To help students get to Ortona, Italy, for the 65th anniversary of the Battle of Ortona, Pickering High School is having ‘An Evening in Italy’. “Our really big event, our toast of the town, is going to be our evening in Italy,” said Sarah Leaney, a geography teacher at the school. On Oct. 25, the Pickering Legion is do- nating and preparing three different types of pasta, as well as Caesar salad and garlic bread for the high school fundraiser, while the Ajax Legion Ladies Auxiliary is providing sweets. The Italian evening features a guest speaker, music and silent auction. Tickets are $20 each and available at the main office of Pickering High School. Dinner is at 5:30 p.m. in the McLean Community Centre’s Optimist’s Room. Available in the silent auction are items including two sets of Buffalo Bills tickets, Class Act Dinner Theatre tickets, CN Tower passes, a coffee machine, gift certificates and baskets and mini vacation packages. A 50/50 draw and door prizes are also part of the festivities. Money raised will help the 10 Pickering High School students going on the trip come up with its approximate $4,300 cost per per- son. It’s important for students to see the sac- rifice young Canadians made in battle, Ms. Leaney said. “It’s the forgotten battle, nobody knows about it,” she said. “It’s important to remem- ber all the battles.” Seeing the Ortona site will probably give students a sense of pride and sense of place in Canada, she said. “It’s important for them to experience his- tory first hand,” Ms. Leaney said. “You’re liv- ing education; you’re living the experience.” Students have also held bake sales, garage sales and a walk-a-thon to raise money. In November, students can buy out of class to watch hypnotist Casey St. John per- form at Pickering High School.

Durham goes to Ortona The following Durham schools are attending the ‘Remembering Ortona’ trip in Novem- ber, in honour of the 65th anniversary of the ‘Forgotten Battle’: • Port Perry High School • Ajax High School • J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate • Pickering High School • Henry Street High School • All Saints Catholic Secondary School • Anderson CVI • Sinclair Secondary School • Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School • Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School • R.S. McLaughlin CVI • Oshawa Central CI • O’Neill CVI Toronto Hydro proposes to construct an anemometer platform to conduct the wind testing. An anemometer is a miniature weather station that tests for wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity etc. An anemometer platform is a stand-alone structure with two small wind generators and a solar photovoltaic (PV) panel to power the instruments that would be affi xed to the lake-bottom. It is a temporary structure and will be removed after it has served its purpose. The proposed structure has the following general dimensions/characteristics: • A structural steel platform located in approximately 15 m of water extending from lake bottom to approximately 4 m above lake water level; • A width of approximately 5 m; and • An anemometer instrument, auxiliary power system and navigation lights located atop this platform.

Only Crown Land is being considered. The Land Use Permit and the Application of Record Status secure the right to use the Crown Land area approved for exploration, on condition that all MNR requirements, including Environmental Assessment (EA) requirements, are met. The Toronto Hydro proposal is part of a two year exploration phase to determine the potential economic viability for the development of a possible wind energy facility.

RSS UPDATESRSS UPDATES Get your local news and sports faster at newsdurhamregion.com DURHAM — The Region and its outdoor workers have reached a tentative agreement, preventing a potential strike. About 370 staff members repre- sented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1785 are affected by the agreement. They provide service in waste man- agement, roads maintenance, traffic control and sanitary sewerage and municipal water supply operations. CUPE members will vote on the tentative agreement Wednesday, Oct. 15 and Thursday, Oct. 16. If ap- proved by the workers, it goes to the committee level for approval on Oct. 22, and then to the Regional council meeting for approval on Oct. 29. Some issues addressed include job equality and shift work. “The two outstanding issues we referenced before ... we did have some movement, we took a respect- able approach to it,” said Dan Mc- Gregor, CUPE 1785 president. On Oct. 2, the Region issued a press release advising residents a new agreement hadn’t been reached and that a potential strike could occur as early as Oct. 13. “This is great news for the resi- dents of Durham Region,” said Garth Johns, commissioner of human resources. “The negotiating teams worked very hard to develop a solution that respects the taxpay- ers of Durham Region, while keep- ing in mind the important services provided by our staff.”IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR CHOICES905-697-9992 www.kingswayarms.com 65 Clarington Blvd. C OME CELEBRATE C OME CELEBRATE WITH USWITH USSaturday, October 25thSaturday, October 25th from 1:00pm to 4:00pmfrom 1:00pm to 4:00pm JOIN US AFTERNOON OF FUN! • Luncheon at 1:15pm offering• Luncheon at 1:15pm offering mouthwatering food: mouthwatering food: Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, Potato SaladPotato Salad • Oscar Kay entertains • Oscar Kay entertains at 1:30pmat 1:30pm • Door Prizes• Door Prizes RSVP: (905) 697-9992RSVP: (905) 697-9992 as space is limitedas space is limited1-866-780 MAID1-866-780 MAID 416-988-MAID416-988-MAID www.maid-mart.comwww.maid-mart.com GET SMARTGET SMART CALL MAID-MART CALL MAID-MART TODAY TO SAVE!TODAY TO SAVE! $30 OFF$30 OFF FIRST CLEAN!!FIRST CLEAN!!

Experts say children’s individual learning styles are linked to one or more of their senses and can generally be classifi ed in one of four cat- egories: visual, auditory, kinesthetic or tactile. Knowing the group in which your child falls can help him or her overcome scholastic obstacles and, in many cases, move to the head of the class. “Successful learning happens when we make a connection between what we are attempting to learn and our personal strengths,” says Dr. Mary Mokris, an education specialist for Kumon Math and Reading Centres. “When the connection is made, learning is easy. When it isn’t, diffi culty follows.” She offers these tips for identifying your child’s learning style: Seeing Is Believing Visual learners learn best when “shown” how to do something. They thrive on written direc- tions. If your child is a vi- sual learner, it could be best for him or her to write and rewrite a spell- ing list he or she is study- ing to see the letters come together on the page. All Ears Auditory learn- ers retain more information from what they hear than read. Au- ditory learners can make an audio recording of themselves spelling out words on a spelling list so they can replay them and spell along with the tape. Move On Kinesthetic learners express themselves through movement and often have trouble sit- ting still. To learn a spelling list, a kinesthetic learner can use his or her body to form the let- ters, can put the words on objects or can recite the spelling of words while jumping rope. Feeling Smart Tactile learners need to feel and manipulate objects with hands-on experience in order to learn best. They can use magnetic letters to spell out spelling words on the refrigerator or form the letters in clay or sand. “If you know your child’s strongest learning style, share this information with the teacher,” says Dr. Mokris. “That can help them adapt certain lessons appropriately.” For instance, at Kumon Math and Reading Centres, instructors offer an oral reading com- ponent to the reading program and math ma- nipulatives such as the number board in the math program. The program currently helps more than 4 million children in 45 countries. More information is available online at www. kumon.om.

And it’s been helping the housing business by supplying windows locally since it set up shop on Brock Road in Pickering in 1973. “In Durham Region, we buy a lot of things from local manufac- turers and we support local man- ufacturers,” said Craig Marshall, president of Marshall Homes. Minister of Industry Jim Pren- tice stopped off at Mason Win- dows on Friday afternoon, along with Ajax-Pickering Conserva- tive candidate Rick Johnson, to discuss Canadian manufactur- ing and said how exciting it is to see Canadians manufactur- ing products and shipping them across North America. “This is a great Canadian suc- cess story and it’s a pleasure to be here,” Mr. Prentice said, refer- ring to the Pickering company. Bob Mason, president of the company, said his business supplies windows to southern Ontario, the Ottawa region and Michigan. “We’ve been around a long time and we plan on being around a lot longer,” he said in an interview. Mr. Prentice also said the re- duction of the GST to five per cent has benefitted Canadians. Mr. Marshall said the GST has indeed been a help to the hous- ing industry during the difficult times in Canada’s building and housing market due to increased development charges. The five per cent savings ends up shaving about $8,000 off of a $400,000 home, which can help new homeowners purchase other necessities they need when starting up a new home, he said. Industry minister praises local manufacturer Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Minister of Industry Jim Prentice, along with Conservative candidate Rick Johnson, made a stop at Mason Windows in Pickering recently. The minister was speaking to local home builders about the importance of local manufacturing and his government’s plan to continue to help them. STRESS FREE!!!!! LEAVE THE CLEANING TO US!!

Lost in Yonkers runs to Oct. 25 By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Two young actors mix with stage veter- ans in the opening play of the Borelians’ new season. ‘Lost in Yonkers’, by Neil Simon, is a coming-of- age drama about two boys forced, after their mother’s death, to live with their stern grandmother and her dysfunctional family. Jay and Arty are the boys. Eric Danis, of Oshawa, is Jay, the older brother, and Devin Norman-Hurley, of Port Perry, is Arty, the younger boy. Eric is a graduate of Os- hawa Little Theatre’s youth group and had the lead in last year’s ‘Just So’ at OLT. Devin played the young Pat- rick in the Borelians’ pro- duction of ‘Auntie Mame’ a few years ago. They play the central fig- ures in this drama, set at the beginning of the Second World War in Yonkers, New York. It won several awards, including a Pulitzer Prize. “Their mother has died and their father has to go on this job to pay back this loan shark, for all her medi- cine and care,” said direc- tor Joanne Norman, a vet- eran Borelian herself (and Devin’s mom.) “Their father drops them off. They’re not happy about it. They don‘t see their grandmother very often. She’s a steely, hard-hearted German woman.” Jay notices, as he meets his aunts and uncle, that all of them have issues, from being raised by a stern, no- nonsense mother. “She thinks treating them like this ... makes them hard as steel,” Norman said. “There’s something wrong with each of them. It’s all because of her.” The play, then, is Jay and Arty’s adventures in their grandmother’s house. “Jay is older than his years. He’s kind of the pro- tector. He’s the one who is really worried the most about his dad. Arty is almost the comic relief sometimes. He’s a very empathetic character. There’s a nice relationship between him and Bella,” Norman said. “I had a hard time de- ciding whether it should go as a comedy or drama (for adjudication with the Association of Community Theatre-Central Ontario) but I decided in the end, it’s drama. Overall, there’s lots of pathos and the terrible things that have happened to people and their way through it,” Norman said, Playing the grandmoth- er is Lorraine Chiusolo, a veteran actor whose re- cent roles include Mame in ‘Auntie Mame’, Judith in ‘Hay Fever’ and Truvy in OnStage Uxbridge’s pro- duction of ‘Steel Magnolias’ last season. Bella is played by Annette Stokes-Harris, who last sea- son appeared in ‘Crimes of the Heart’ for the Borelians, picking up an Thea award from ACT-CO for her work. Eddie, the boys’ father, is played by Michael Serres, who has also designed the sound for the play. He also appeared in ‘Crimes’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland’ last season. Lee Laycoe, who acted in ‘Crimes’, is Aunt Gert. Uncle Louie is played by Bryan Mailey. The play opens Oct. 16 and runs through to Oct. 25 with 8 p.m. sharp cur- tain time at Town Hall 1873, Simcoe and Queen streets, Port Perry. There are also 2 p.m. matinees on Oct. 18 and 25. Tickets are available for all shows at the new ticket sales location, Meta4 Gal- lery, 200 Queen St., Port Perry, 905-985-2435 or 1- 888-985-2435.

Lucky seven for Durham Junior Lightning Women’s hockey team places septet on Team Ontario squads to compete at nationals By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Seven was indeed a lucky number for the Durham Ju- nior Lightning Provincial Women’s Hockey League team. That’s because a septet of Junior Lightning players were among the 40 to make the grade to compete on Ontario’s ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ squads at the 2009 Canadian Under-18 Wom- en’s Hockey Champion- ships in Napa- nee from Nov. 5 to 9. Junior Lightning forward Danielle Skir- row and defender Kailey Chappell were named to Ontario’s ‘Red’ team for the national championships; meanwhile forwards Jessica Vella, Lisa Stathopulos, Nicole Gifford and Jamie Hatheway and defender Shannon Stoneburgh earned their way onto the Ontario ‘Blue’ devel- opmental squad. As a province rich in top-notch women’s hockey programs, Ontario traditionally fields two teams at the National Under-18 Championships, which features eight teams (two from Ontario, Team Atlantic, Sas- katchewan, B.C., Manitoba, Alberta and Quebec). Durham Junior Lightning head coach Dino Caggiula noted coaches for the Ontario teams faced a gut- wrenching dilemma in paring down their tryout camp numbers as sev- eral solid Junior Lightning players were left off the final Ontario ros- ters. “Well, the ones who were chosen are all capable, but the players who didn’t get selected were just as ca- pable. The ‘OW’ (Ontario Women’s Hockey Association) had some tough decisions to make because they were all good players, the 11 who were at the camps. You could have made a case for any of them,” said Caggiula, who, only recently, was named to the coaching staff of Ontario ‘Blue’ at nationals. To have seven players make the squad from 11 team players who attended the tryout sessions was indeed special for Caggiula and the Junior Lightning. “I’m extremely proud,” said Caggi- ula. “I’ve known and coached these girls for many years. I’ve had Jessie Vella since age 7, Kailey Chappell since age 8 and Lisa Stathopulos since age 11 or 12. I knew we had a great foundation for them to suc- ceed, and that makes me proud of the association, too,” Seven players on the Ontario teams is unprecedented for the Ju- nior Lightning. Only three made the Ontario teams last season, with the previous high-water mark being Junior Lightning players, coach expect big season Despite the high numbers of Durham Junior Lightning players on the Ontario squads, head coach Dino Caggiula is cautiously optimistic about the team’s season in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League this season. “We’re off to an excellent start (1-0-1), but the league this year is very close and very competitive,” he explained. “We were fortunate to beat Hamilton (6-0 on Oct. 4) because they haven’t been beaten by that much all year. Every team in the ‘PW’ will be tough this year. There are no gimme games and you’ll have to earn every point you get.” Junior Lightning captain Kailey Chappell noted she has high expecta- tions for a solid season in the 18-team league. “Yeah, for sure, we have a really hard-working team this year. Every- one is really close and we have good coaches, so we hope to do really well.” ✦ See Lightning, Page 18 Ajax boxing duo golden at novice provincials AJAX — Two fighters with the Ajax Boxing Club donned golden gloves at the Arnie Boehm Provin- cial Novice Boxing Championships in St. Catharines recently. Victor Plaza, 14, captured the gold medal in the cadet ‘C’ class 48-50 kilo weight division, while Michael Affainie earned the gold in the novice ju- nior class 60- 64 kilo weight category at the champion- ships. Plaza won his first match over Nick Bull- ard of the Point Blank Boxing Club by deci- sion 33-22. He claimed the gold after de- feating Elham Talmal, also of the Point Blank Boxing Club, by deci- sion 22-18. Mean- while, Affainie earned a close 5-3 decision over Moham- mad Asghar of the Bramalea Box- ing Club in his first bout. In the gold-medal bout, the Ajax boxer defeated Morgan Hughes of the Bala Youth Boxing Club by a 13-10 decision. Plaza is currently in his first year of boxing at the Ajax club. He at- tends Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School in Ajax. Affainie is in his second year in the ring with the Ajax club. He also attends DO’C. The Ajax club also had two other medal winners at the novice provin- cials. Romy Dadula earned silver in the senior novice 81-91 kilo weight class. Bernard Dadula captured a bronze medal in the senior novice 91-and-over kilogram weight divi- sion.

Chappell, 17, is one of those holdovers from last year’s Ontario teams, playing at nationals with the ‘Blue’ squad last year. This year, she’s earned a berth on the ‘Red’ squad out of the two tryout camps, which started in Toronto with the final one in Vaughan that stretched over four days and involved 80 play- ers attempting to earn one of the 40 roster spots. “I was really excited, actually,” said Chappell, of Pickering. “There was pressure on me from last year to make the team, and I wanted to make the top one this year, so it’s a good feeling.” And, winning national gold -- something that’s been the sole do- main of Ontario ‘Red’ at the Cana- dian U18 championship for the past three years -- is a goal she’s shooting for. “For sure, I want to follow through and do that,” said Chappell. Skirrow, her Ontario ‘Red’ team- mate, is also excited with the pros- pect of earning a fourth gold medal for Ontario ‘Red’. “Yeah, I definitely want to win the gold medal,” said the Trenton resi- dent, a right winger on the Durham Junior Lightning. Stoneburgh, one of the younger members of Ontario ‘Blue’ at 15, noted it was easier at the tryout camps this year as she knew what to expect after attending them last year. “You knew what’s going to hap- pen and what was expected of you,” she said. Stoneburgh said she and Ontario ‘Blue’ is also gunning for gold, but she realizes the route to the medal goes directly through Ontario ‘Red’, which will play in the same pool with Ontario ‘Blue’ in preliminary play. “Yeah, we hope to win a medal and beat our ‘Red’ team,” said the Pickering resident. After what she describes as a “gru- elling” final training camp, Vella, 17, was glad to be among those play- ers to nail down a spot on Ontario ‘Blue’ for this year’s nationals. “I’m really happy and honoured pretty much,” said the Pickering res- ident. “It was hard to get here, so I’m going to show them what I have.” Al Rivett/ News Advertiser photo The Durham Junior Lightning women’s hockey team placed an unprecedented seven players on Team Ontario ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ squads that will compete at the Canadian Under-18 Women’s Hockey Championships in Napanee in November. In front row, from left, are Danielle Skirrow, Shannon Stoneburgh, Kailey Chappell and Jessie Vella. In back row are Lisa Stathopulos, Nicole Gifford and Jamie Hatheway. ✦ Lightning from page 17 Lightning juniors place seven on Ontario teamsScoreboard OCTOBER 15, 2008 PICKERING OLDTIMERS HOCKEY LEAGUE OVER-35 DIVISION Standings as of Oct. 8 TEAM GP W L T GF GA PTS Bay Dukes 4 4 0 0 29 10 8 Hawg Farmers 4 3 0 1 27 13 7 Virtual Law Flyers 3 2 1 0 21 19 4 Intrepid 4 1 2 1 12 18 3 Shagwells 4 1 2 1 24 27 3 Penguins 3 1 1 1 9 12 3 Flames 4 1 3 0 10 18 2 Re/Max 4 0 4 0 8 23 0 Results: Intrepid 4 vs. Re/Max 3; Dukes 5 vs. Flames 2; Hawg Farmers 4 vs. Shagwell’s 4.

I am following the path God has laid you see. I took His hand when I heard His call, And I turned my back and left it all. I couldn't stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found the peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh yes these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full ...I savoured much. Good friends, good times, A loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee. God wanted me now, He set me free.
