Conservation
authority now
involved in
site selection
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — It’s now partly
up to Toronto and Region Conser-
vation to determine if Pickering
will get a leash-free dog park.
Pickering Animal Services and
the dog park working group have
been working on plans for a leash-
free park for years.
In July, after the executive com-
mittee approved the park, to be
located at the hydro corridor on
the east side of Valley Farm Road,
north of Finch Avenue, Council
subsequently asked it to review
different sites.
The group specifically consid-
ered one behind Don Beer Arena
and another at Rotary Park West,
which is at the foot of West Shore
Boulevard.
Now, four months later, there’s
been some progress. Nicole Scar-
lett, of the dog park working group,
said in a mass e-mail that the
area behind the Don Beer Arena,
which is controlled by Hydro One,
does not fit the definition of a park
by the working group since it’s
remote, industrial and close to a
strip bar.
Rotary Park West is owned by
the TRCA, which is now working
with staff to decide if the dog park
is suitable.
“We’re waiting to hear back
from them and we’re waiting to
get the go-ahead,” said Lindsey
Brenner, supervisor of animal ser-
vices.
Laura Stephenson, TRCA wa-
terfront specialty projects and
project manager, said the idea of a
leash-free park was in the forecast
when the TRCA master plan was
originally drawn up, and Pickering
was involved in the plans.
“It actually identified a future
leash-free area in the park,” she
said.
So now TRCA staff is updating
its site-selection criteria, which
will hopefully be approved by
Christmas, Ms. Stephenson said.
Ms. Brenner said the specific lo-
cation is ideal since it’s flat, there
are not many homes close by, it’s
easily accessible and sufficient
parking already exists.
“I think this spot is the best lo-
cation so far,” she said.

PICKERING — Two more cases
of cold medicine inside Smarties
boxes have been confirmed by the
Durham Regional Police.
Investigators from the Ajax-
Pickering office confirmed the
cases, which were in the same area
of Pickering as previous cases. It
brings to seven the number of re-
ported incidents.
All the instances involved sealed
Smarties boxes that have been
tampered with.
The previous cases were in
the Shay Drive and Beaton Way
neighbourhood and all involved
the small Halloween versions of
the candy boxes.
Durham police began investi-
gating on Nov. 5, when a Grade
5 student at Valley Farm Public
School found a DayQuil capsule
inside a sealed box. She showed it
to school officials, who contacted
the police.
Officers from 19 Division (Ajax-
Pickering) canvassed the neigh-
bourhood and four other cases
of the cold and flu medicine were
found in boxes.
The police are reminding par-
ents and caregivers to check re-
maining candy.

Ms. Stephenson said it’s a natural park
and there’s an open grassy area on
the west side that TRCA staff thought
would be appropriate for a dog park.
Besides, if it is designated, “it creates
some more presence in the park.”
Once the site selection criteria is
updated, the TRCA will determine if
Rotary Park West is suitable, and then
it would come back to Council.
Regional councillors will
decide where cash goes
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — It’ll be up to Regional council
to decide whether the recently-announced
provincial uploading of services will mean a
reduction in property taxes.
The idea of the upload was to give munici-
palities room to improve infrastructure, said
Durham finance commissioner Jim Clapp.
This could include roads, bridges, sewer and
water treatment facilities and more.
“So it’ll be up to council, really, as to what
they do with the savings.
“Reducing taxes or putting the funding
into the infrastructure, that’s what it boils
down to,” he said.
Although the Province announced Dur-
ham stands to save $56.2 million as a result
of the upload, Mr. Clapp said that figure
seems to include previously announced up-
loads which the municipalities are already
accounting for in their budgets and over-
states how much the Region stands to save.
His calculations show the Region would
save $35.8 million between 2009 and 2018
when the upload is complete.
“If they put this fund-
ing into infrastructure,
there’s really no room
to reduce the property
taxes,” he said.
In 1998, the down-
load of a slew of ser-
vices in exchange for
the upload of part of the
cost of education, did
not turn out to be rev-
enue neutral as prom-
ised, said Mr. Clapp. In
Durham, it led to $15 to
$20 million in extra costs per year. As a result
of that gap, many municipalities deferred
funding infrastructure projects, including
roads and bridges.
While Durham isn’t as far behind as some
other municipalities, Mr. Clapp said even
the savings coming from the upload will
not cover all of the Region’s infrastructure
needs.
However, it will help. For example, as it
stands, a portion of each year’s property tax
increase is directed towards roads and the
upload will reduce that portion or perhaps
eliminate it.
Mr. Clapp agrees with Regional Chairman
Roger Anderson, who said that the upload
may not mean property tax cuts, but rather
smaller increases.
“There’s always the police and the EMS
and other growth-related expenses that will
always dictate some kind of increase.”
Not all of the services downloaded to mu-
nicipalities in 1998 have been uploaded.
“The biggest one is social housing. That’s
roughly a $35-million ticket at the Region,”
said Mr. Clapp.
In addition to that annual cost, the Re-
gion’s housing stock needs between $127
and $149 million in repairs.
But, given that the Province is facing
tough economic times as well, Mr. Clapp
welcomed the upload, especially in the so-
cial services area.
“It’s off the backs of municipalities once
and for all and we can deal with our own
infrastructure problems.”

Uploading benefits
Pickering: Treasurer
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Although Pickering resi-
dents will see some relief on their property
tax bill from the Province’s decision to upload
some social services, it will only be a gradual
savings, says Pickering’s director of corporate
services and treasurer.
“While this is a very significant first step,
it’s unfortunate that it’s going to take 10 years
because previous governments downloaded
these costs over a much
shorter time frame,” Gil
Paterson said.
When the uploads
are complete in 2018,
the Ontario government
says municipalities will
see a $1.5-billion bene-
fit. Locally, Durham will
save $56 million.
Mr. Paterson said
while the uploading
mostly relieves regional
costs, and it appears to have very little direct
financial relevance to the City, indirectly, any
costs taken off the property tax bill will ben-
efit Pickering taxpayers.
“It’s good news for property taxpayers be-
cause expenditures are going to revert back,”
Mr. Paterson said. This isn’t the first time the
Province has uploaded services downloaded
under the Harris government. The Ontario
Drug Benefits program, which provides free
medication to social assistance recipients,
was uploaded earlier this year. “I hope the
Province continues in these efforts to up-
load province-wide costs from the municipal
property tax base,” Mr. Paterson said.

But little relief
for Ajax: Mayor
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX — The local portion of the property
tax bill probably won’t be shrinking due to
the uploading of some costs to the Prov-
ince.
“It’s mainly a Regional thing. The Prov-
ince basically downloaded welfare and so-
cial services costs,” Ajax Mayor Steve Parish
said. The announcement by the Province it
will reassume some of
those costs won’t have
much effect on local
municipalities, he said.
“They’re taking it
back over 10 years. A
lot of it’s end-loaded,”
Mayor Parish said. “It
was downloaded in a
day and taken back in
a decade.” The Prov-
ince announced it will
assume the full cost of
Ontario Works (OW),
benefits and court security and prisoner
transportation costs. But, municipalities
will still be responsible for social housing.
“The space given up will immediately be
occupied by police, transit, you name it,
roads,” Mayor Parish said.
As the uploading will be done over 10
years, “I don’t think people will see that,” he
said, adding people won’t see a decrease in
taxes.

Key witness in biker
trial takes stand
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
WHITBY — A key Crown witness in the trial of
two bikers has testified he was working as a police
informant all the while as he rose through the
ranks to become an officer of the Hells Angels.
Steven Gault testified he began working as a po-
lice snitch in his home town of North Bay in 1990
and continued to provide information on drug
dealing and other activity within the Hells Angels
organization after joining the club in early 2000.
Mr. Gault, 35, who took the stand Tuesday,
said he informed police when he was approached
about joining the Oshawa chapter of the Hells
Angels. He said he was well aware of the dangers
of trying to infiltrate the club but was lured by the
potential for a big-time payoff.
“If I could make my way into the club it would
be worth more money,” he said in response to
questions from assistant Crown Attorney Mitch-
ell Flagg. “I told (police) if I could make my way
into the Hells Angels and make my way up to full
(membership) I would take down any drug dealers
that I could.”
In the end, Mr. Gault wound up providing police
with information that would lead to the arrest of
numerous bikers on a variety of drug and weapons
charges. And he would also tell authorities that two
high-ranking Angels -- Oshawa chapter president
Mark Stephenson and Nomads member Remond
Akleh -- had enlisted him in a plot to murder a rival
biker.
Mr. Akleh and Mr. Stephenson, now on trial in
Superior Court in Whitby, have pleaded not guilty
to conspiring to commit murder and counselling
to commit murder. Their trial got under way two
weeks ago but Tuesday was the first time jurors
caught a glimpse of Mr. Gault, the prosecution’s
star witness. Jurors heard about the peculiar crimi-
nal record amassed by Mr. Gault -- he’s been
convicted in incidents like biting off a man’s ear in
a bar fight and threatening a Durham police officer
-- and his quick rise in the ranks of the Hells An-
gels, a club founded on principles of loyalty among
members and strict security aimed at thwarting
law enforcement officials and rival gangs.
Mr. Gault, introduced to the club by a friend,
was accepted as a “hang-around” but was soon a
member of the inner circle in the Oshawa chapter,
gaining his “full patch” in the spring of 2002 and
becoming treasurer soon thereafter.
But even upon his induction there were ques-
tions about his dependability, court heard: Mr.
Gault’s ex-wife was spreading word he’d been co-
operating with police, news that reached the ears
of Mr. Stephenson, the president.
Mr. Gault said that on the day he received his full
membership at the Angels’ clubhouse on Ortono
Avenue in Oshawa, “Mr. Stephenson put his arm
around me and told me I got the patch, but if he
ever had any (proof) on me, he would kill me.”
The trial, presided over by Superior Court Justice
Bruce Glass, continues.

Wrong people
targeted in home
invasions: police
DURHAM — Two home invasion-style inci-
dents earlier this week may have targeted the
wrong people, police say.
Weapons were used and victims sustained
injuries in both events, one Monday in Ajax and
the second Tuesday in Oshawa, Durham police
said. In both cases men forced their way into
homes and assaulted residents before fleeing.
On Monday just before 2 a.m. two men forced
their way through the door of a residence on
Chalmers Crescent in the vicinity of Harwood
Avenue and Hwy. 2, police said. During a strug-
gle with the intruders the homeowner was shot
in the leg.
The homeowner was treated at hospital and
released. The assailants fled the scene. Inves-
tigators believe the incident may have been a
case of mistaken identity.
And in what police are saying was another
incident of mistaken identity, three men barged
into a home in the Adelaide Avenue - Ritson
Road neighbourhood in Oshawa Tuesday after-
noon, confronting three people inside. During
the fight one of the victims was struck with a jolt
from a stun gun while another was bashed over
the head with a bat, police said.

Short list of routes
for pilot program
in Pickering and Courtice
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — It was trash talk at works com-
mittee when the issue of a pilot project on
clear garbage bags came up on Wednesday.
Starting in January, Durham will test the
use of clear garbage bags along two garbage
routes, one in Pickering and one in Courtice.
The goal is to see whether using the clear
bags prompts people to participate more in
recycling or composting. The Region is aiming
to divert 70 per cent of its waste from landfill by
2010.
The works committee has identified five po-
tential routes for the project, two in Pickering
and three in Courtice. One route will be picked
in each community, with a total of about 1,500
households participating.
Pickering Councillor Bill McLean took ex-
ception to the choice of routes in Pickering,
both of which are in the Amberlea neighbour-
hood, south of Finch between Whites Road
and Spruce Hill Road.
Although he said he supported the pilot,
Coun. McLean said his concern was resi-
dents in the area would be seeing three major
changes: a garbage day change, the clear plas-
tic bag program and a decrease in the number
of bulky items which can be left at the curb
(though that last issue will remain as it is now
after subsequent discussion at the commit-
tee).
“They’re getting three whacks with the same
hammer.”
He also raised concerns about whether City
of Pickering staff had been adequately con-
sulted. Years ago, Pickering piloted the green
bin program in the Amberlea neighbourhood.
Since then, garbage has become a Regional
responsibility.
“I think it would have been important for
the City of Pickering to participate because we
are the ones who are going to be getting the
phone calls,” said Coun. McLean.
He wanted to know how the routes were
chosen and suggested that the Region con-
sider a route in Coun. Rick Johnson’s ward
instead.
Region staff said they have been in contact
with their counterparts in Pickering. Works
commissioner Cliff Curtis said the area was
picked because it’s close to the transfer station
and because the homes in the neighbourhood
are homogenous, all single-family detached
homes.
As well, Coun. Johnson said he spoke to
Coun. Bonnie Littley, who represents the ward
regionally, before the meeting and she said
she supported the pilot project in her ward.
“The only concern she had was the notice to
the residents be adequate,” said Coun. John-
son, who later added he wouldn’t mind if the
program was piloted in his ward.
Coun. Johnson also called his colleague out
on whether he really supported the pilot proj-
ect.
“If you don’t support it there, don’t support
it at all and don’t do the project with clear
bags,” he said.
The debate between the two councillors got
so heated that Coun. McLean apologized for
getting emotional.
In addition to the Pickering routes, the
works department has identified three pos-
sible routes for the pilot program in Courtice.
All of them are south of Hwy. 2 and north of
Bloor Street. Clarington Coun. Charlie Trim
is the chairman of the works committee and
he raised no concerns about the Clarington
routes.
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson asked
staff for a report on the marketing and com-
munications strategy before the program is
launched. There will be a public meeting for
residents and staff will hand deliver notices in
the affected area.
“So that if works committee or Coun.
McLean or any councillor from the City of
Pickering wants to join staff and walk with
them when they deliver the notice to residents,
they can,” he said.
Mr. Curtis said the Region will meet with
Pickering and Clarington staff before selecting
the final route. He said he wasn’t surprised
that the issue got heated.
“Garbage is always a very political issue,
particularly with changes in levels of service,
particularly with whose ward gets to be a
Guinea pig.”

E very November, our country joins
together to remember those who
fought for us.
I may not have lived through the ter-
rible wars that our nation faced, but
I am aware of the sacrifice that thou-
sands of Canadians made. They gave
up their lives for us, for Canada. They
fought to protect us and their families.
They fought to preserve our traditions
and future. They fought and died for
our country.
While walking down the street in
November, I look for red poppies
decorating peoples’ clothing. I know
that they remember the lives that were
taken so we could live with the freedom
we have today. We must acknowledge
the courage and sacrifice of those who
served our country for freedom and
peace. They deserve to be remembered.
Poppies are one simple way to show
that we remember. It is a simple gesture
that lets everybody acknowledge your
patriotism and your pride for our war
heroes. It is a time to be grateful for
those who defended Canada.
I take great pride in being Canadian
and Remembrance Day holds a special
place in my heart. I am grateful for all
that our military personnel did dur-
ing past wars. They were the ones who
made the lives we lead today possible.
Who knows what may have happened
to our country if the outcome of the
wars had been different, or if there
were no wars at all. Would we be living
with the freedom that we have today?
I am honoured to be a part of a coun-
try that helped shape the present.
Every day that the wars went on, our
soldiers faced conditions that we can’t
even imagine. They lived and died in
ways that we shudder to think about.
Yet still they fought to preserve a way
of life. We need to take time to remem-
ber their beliefs and to keep them in
mind in our everyday lives. The mean-
ing of their sacrifice rests in our efforts
to keep their dreams of freedom and
peace alive.
We must also take note of the war
going on right now that has taken many
Canadian lives.
Our soldiers put their lives in danger
every day and we must praise them.
They are sacrificing their lives trying to
make the world a better place. Remem-
brance Day not only remembers the
sacrifices of the past, it praises the sac-
rifices of the present.
On Nov. 11, ceremonies took place
across Canada to commemorate our
military men and women, past and
present. Many residents of the com-
munity gathered in Ajax and Pickering
to take part in ceremonies. This year
marked the 90th anniversary of the
end of the First World War. Our nation
joined together in a moment of silence
and, if only for that moment, we were
all connected.
I wear a poppy over my heart every
day in November to show that I
remember.
Danielle Bergeron is a Pine Ridge Sec-
ondary School co-operative education stu-
dent at the News Advertiser.
Remembering not only those
who fell, but why they fought
U nless you have a medical reason
why you shouldn’t, Ajax and
Pickering residents need a shot in
the arm this fall.
Flu season is upon us, and before long
people young and old will be sneezing,
coughing and generally feeling awful- for
no reason. Ontario offers a free flu shot
to its citizens, and the Durham Region
Health Department recently released its
schedule of flu shot clinics.
Influenza is nothing to sneeze at. As the
health department states on the Region’s
website, “Even healthy individuals can
become seriously ill with the flu. Getting
the flu shot reduces your risk of becom-
ing sick and the vaccine protects you
against complications of influenza such
as pneumonia.”
Seniors are well aware of the dangers
posed by contracting influenza. Wisely,
they are often first in line at clinics or
make appointments with their doctors
early in the season or just before it starts
to ensure they are protected. But, while
seniors are at high risk for getting sick,
so are young kids, and pregnant women
are encouraged to get the shot to protect
mom and baby.
Many of us, however, brush off the
flu shot as something we don’t need.
Or, we have misguided notions of what
it means to get the shot. As the health
department’s release states, you will not
get the flu from the flu shot. And, while
getting the shot doesn’t mean you won’t
get influenza, if you do, “it is usually a
much milder case than it would have
been without the shot.”
Still, we put it off or don’t bother and,
wham, we wake up one morning feeling
like our head weighs 50 pounds. When
one person in a family gets the flu, it
generally travels through the household.
So, by not getting the shot, you’re putting
your spouse and the kids in danger of
getting it.
As for those who soldier on and go
to work, sometimes innocently as they
might just be getting it and not feeling so
bad yet, re-think this. In addition to being
bad for other’s health, bringing the flu to
work is bad for business, as with others
contracting the disease and choosing to
stay home, productivity can fall. Finally,
many flu sufferers go to hospital emer-
gency departments, clogging them up
needlessly while the more seriously ill
have to wait in line.
So, there are no excuses. As the old say-
ing goes, an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. Do yourself, your family
members and your co-workers a favour
and get the shot.

Police plan too expensive
for taxpayers
To the editor:
In tough times everyone has to tighten
their belts and spend less. Regional
chairman Roger Anderson made a deci-
sion that we cannot afford to raise taxes
to support the police services 20-20-20
initiative in times like this.
I, and many others, probably feel this
is the wrong time for raising taxes to
support increased spending. Thirty-five
per cent of the regional budget goes to
the Durham Regional Police. I hope that
the DRP can finally see the full picture
of what’s happening in Durham Region
economically and accept this decision.
We cannot force more hardship on peo-
ple by increasing taxes that are already
too high and which they cannot afford. In
the future we can work together to grow
the region economically and then we can
realize this initiative when times turn for
the better.

Wages not issue
in current negotiations
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Elementary school teachers
want to Close the Gap in its current round of
contract negotiations.
The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of
Ontario (ETFO) says there’s a $711 per stu-
dent difference in the amount of money
received for elementary pupils and high
school students.
Closing that gap over the next four years is
the union’s aim in current contract talks.
The four-year contract for the 73,000 el-
ementary teachers expired at end of August.
“The government is unable or incapable
of seeing this issue,” David Clegg, the presi-
dent of the ETFO, said in an interview.
Mr. Clegg was at Deer Creek conference
centre in Ajax Tuesday to speak to ETFO
members about the contract situation.
Patricia MacNeil, a spokeswoman for the
education ministry, said an agreement was
reached earlier this year with school boards,
teachers’ unions and others involved in ne-
gotiations that the ministry would act as a
facilitator. Through this process, common
items would be negotiated, including sal-
ary.
Those school boards that signed onto the
provincial framework would see salary in-
creases of three per cent a year for four years.
Those that haven’t agreed to the framework
by Nov. 30 will only receive two per cent a
year.
There’s money involved in the framework
that would address issues such as class sizes,
and more teachers in Grades 7 and 8, Ms.
MacNeil said.
“We’ve made it very clear if there’s any
chance for a long term-agreement, a four-
year agreement, they have to commit to
eliminate the gap in funding. They’re not
prepared to do that,” Mr. Clegg said. “Unfor-
tunately, they’ve suggested we work to an
artificial deadline.”
On wages, three per cent a year for four
years is “a very reasonable offer,” Mr. Clegg
said. “Salary isn’t the issue. It’s not standing
in the way of resolving this round of bargain-
ing.”
The union recognizes the tough economic
times, he said. “There are short-term chal-
lenges.
“We’re not asking for something not pro-
vided at the secondary level,” Mr. Clegg said.
The Close the Gap campaign is a province-
wide initiative. At the local level, Rachel
Gencey, the president of the Durham ETFO
local, said issues “aren’t hot button issues,
but they need to be resolved.”
Among those issues are transfer pro-
cedures when a teacher moves from one
school to the next, and staffing levels.

Checking out Ajax trails
AJAX — Allan Williams, left, a certified hike leader, leads a group on a hike through the Greenwood Conservation Area
last Saturday. The hile was put on by the Ajax Trails Advocacy Committee.
DURHAM — He may have passed
away, but Stan Kolesnik is still help-
ing students.
A bursary is being set up in hon-
our of Mr. Kolesnik, an Eastdale
Collegiate Vocational Institute
teacher who died Sept. 11 after a
short battle with cancer.
The much-loved educator spent
more than 40 years with the Dur-
ham District School Board.
“He left quite a hole in the school
here, that’s for sure,” said Don
French, a friend of Mr. Kolesnik’s
and head of business studies at the
school.
The bursary will be presented at
the school’s upcoming convoca-
tion to a college-bound student
who has overcome personal chal-
lenges.
“We tried to set a parameter...
something that would match the
man himself,” said Mr. French. “He
had a soft spot for the underdog
and students who had difficulty in
their lives and didn’t have all the
advantages.”
Funding for the award has come
from support throughout the re-
gion. This year’s award will likely
be for about $500, but a fund is
being set up to keep it going in
future years.
Those interested in supporting
the bursary can direct cheques to
the Stan Kolesnik memorial fund at
Eastdale CVI, care of April Clark.
Bursary honours late teacher
Angels to be

Grandparents distraught
after funding cut
By Jillian Follert
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Retirement is nothing like
Dorothy and Bill Taylor expected.
The Oshawa couple always pictured their
60s and 70s as years filled with travel and
hobbies, a relaxing reprieve after years of
hard work.
But for the past nine years, they have been
consumed by the challenges of raising their
child’s child, grandson Chad, now 14.
The boy came into their care as a with-
drawn and neglected five-year-old. His par-
ents -- the couple’s son and daughter-in-
law -- struggled with addiction and mental
health issues and Chad’s grandparents wor-
ried about his well-being from the moment
he was born.
“There were times he was left in his crib
for days soaking wet. He even had a 105-
degree fever one time and it was ignored
until it was almost too late,” Mrs. Taylor
sighs. “For a long time, I cried on the phone
with CAS, but they said I worried too much.”
Finally, just after Chad started kindergar-
ten, CAS intervened and suggested he be
placed in foster care. The Taylors begged to
take him instead, terrified of what could hap-
pen if their grandson was subjected to even
more instability.
After a six-month court battle that cost
more than $8,000 and put a major dent in the
couple’s savings, they were awarded custody
of Chad.
It was a bittersweet victory for the Tay-
lors, who were at once relieved to have their
grandson under their roof and worried about
the future. Could they afford to provide for
him? And at their age, could they keep up
with a growing boy and eventually, a teen-
ager?
One of the small supports that emerged
was the Temporary Care Assistance ben-
efit from the provincial government. Mrs.
Taylor said the monthly cheque of about
$230 helped cover incidentals for Chad --
class trips, pizza day at school, clothes -- as
well as providing modest benefits for dental,
eyeglasses and prescriptions, a vital perk
considering the couple don’t have their own
insurance.
But this month the Taylors received their
last assistance cheque.
Community and Social Services Minis-
ter Madeleine Meilleur has announced the
funds will be cut off where evidence points
to a temporary living arrangement becoming
permanent.
That means thousands of grandparents
across Ontario, who are raising their grand-
children, many of them already living on
modest pensions or Old Age Security ben-
efits stand to see their incomes drop.
Ms. Meilleur defended the move, saying
the rules were tightened because the pro-
gram was intended for temporary aid only.
“In some municipalities, grandparents
were receiving it not on a temporary basis
(but for) 10 years, 15 years,” she told report-
ers on Oct. 16. “The rules were not applied as
they should be.”
Ms. Meilleur added grandparents experi-
encing financial strain are free to apply for
Ontario Works -- welfare -- as any other resi-
dents are.
CanGrands is hosting a rally in front of
Madeleine Meilleur’s Ottawa office on Nov.
20. To learn more about support for grand-
parent headed or kinship families, visit www.

Change
in Ajax
garbage
collection
dates
13,000 homes
affected by move
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Starting next month,
garbage and recycling collection for
some areas of Ajax will change.
The change starts the week of Dec.
1 and affects about 13,000 homes,
said Craig Bartlett, the manager of
waste operations for Durham Re-
gion.
“There’s been substantial growth
in north Ajax,” he said, and that has
taxed the ability of the collector to
handle the volume.
Changes include:
• The area south of Hwy. 401 to Lake
Ontario, between Harwood Avenue
and Salem Road, the collection will
be moved to Wednesday from Tues-
day.
• The area between Hwys. 2 and 401,
and west of Harwood Avenue to the
Pickering border, will be moved to
Tuesday from Wednesday;
• The area between Church Street
and the Pickering border, between
Hwy. 2 and Rossland Road, changes
to Tuesday from Thursday ;
• The area north of Rossland Road
and west of Westney Road moves to
Friday from Thursday collection;
• The area between Westney Road
and Harwood Avenue, between
Hwy. 2 and Rossland Road moves to
Thursday from Friday.
Notices are to be distributed to
all affected homes in the middle of
the November and door hangers will
be left at homes “one to two weeks
before the change,” Mr. Bartlett told
Ajax council last week.
There will be a one-week grace pe-
riod, to give homeowners the chance
to get use to the changes, Mr. Bartlett
said.

children and youth with special
needs. The cards are $10 for a pack-
age of eight and can be purchased by

police
investigation
DURHAM — Police are looking for
a man whose unwanted advances
toward a young woman escalated to
inappropriate touching last month.
The 25-year-old victim told Dur-
ham police she and a friend were
riding the bus in Oshawa on the
evening of Oct. 8 when the stranger
struck up a conversation, asking in-
appropriate questions.
The intrusion turned physi-
cal when the man twice kissed the
woman on the mouth -- once while
on the bus and again when she and
her friend arrived at their destination
on Victoria Street in Whitby, police
said.
When the man followed the
woman into a store staff intervened,
asking him to leave.
He waited outside until the female
store manager confronted him, po-
lice said. The man fled on foot.
He’s described as a man of East In-
dian descent with a light complexion
and a shaved head, with a medium
build.
The man, believed to be in his late
20s or early 30s, spoke with an accent
and wore a dark brown jacket with
a light blue sweater under it, dark
jeans and white running shoes and
carried a small black bag.
Anyone who can assist the inves-
tigation is asked to call police at 905-
579-1520, ext. 5325 or Crime Stop-
pers at 1-800-222-8477.
Committee wants
rapid transit line
extended through
Seaton to Hwy. 407
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — It’s apparent
through Metrolinx plans that once
again Durham Region is the “poor-
er cousin” across the GTA, says a
Pickering councillor.
Ward 3 City Councillor David
Pickles was one member of Council
that expressed distaste with the re-
cent Metrolinx massive transit draft
plan at Monday’s executive commit-
tee meeting. The $50 billion regional
transportation plan, The Big Move:
Transforming Transportation in the
Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area,
was unveiled in September. The plan
addresses all forms of transportation,
implementation and requirements
of sustainable, long-term funding.
Coun. Pickles and Ward 2 City
Councillor Doug Dickerson agreed
that if transit is not in place be-
fore more people move in (espe-
cially with the anticipated growth
in Pickering due to Duffin Heights
and Seaton) they’ll be forced to use
vehicles for transportation.
“Metrolinx, I think, by and large,
forgot Pickering,” Coun. Dickerson
said. Not having reliable transit first
would fail in encouraging new resi-
dents of Pickering to use mass tran-
sit, rather than rely on a car, he said.
City staff found critical transpor-
tation and transit infrastructure in-
vestment in Pickering was lacking in
the first 15 years of the plans (up to
2024), especially when it comes to
supporting Seaton as a “transit first”
community.
Although the committee agreed
changes had to be made to the
plans, Ward 1 Regional Councillor
Bonnie Littley was pleased to see
walking and cycling routes identified
as infrastructure in the plans.
The executive committee re-
ceived the Metrolinx draft plan, but
also supported staff’s recommenda-
tions for changes to the plans for
Pickering. It will come to Council
next week for final approval and the
request will be subsequently sent off
to Metrolinx.

Pickering unhappy with Metrolinx plans
Pickering’s wants
Staff suggested doing the follow-
ing in the first 15 years of the plan
(by 2024) in order to prepare
for Seaton, which is expected
to bring 70,000 residents to
Pickering by 2021:
* Identifying a new east-west
rapid transit connection on the
Steeles-Taunton Corridor to
Brock Road.
* Extending the Brock Road rapid
transit line through Seaton to
Hwy. 407.
* Planning for a resolution to the
Steeles-Taunton traffic bottleneck
as a priority.
* Widening Hwy. 7 west of Brock
Road to four lanes through
Seaton to support development
and transit service.
Staff also suggested asking
Metrolinx to support an Eastern
GTA anchor mobility hub in Pick-
ering’s downtown, which should
involve planning for:
* The City’s long-awaited pedes-
trian bridge over Hwy. 401 at
Liverpool Road
* A full Hwy. 401 interchange at
Liverpool Road
* A parking structure for com-
muters and downtown visitors.

DURHAM — Talks between fed-
eral government officials and au-
tomakers are ongoing, in the wake
of even more local auto industry
lay-offs.
“It’s clear that the Detroit Three
are having a lot of challenges, short-
term challenges certainly, but the
discussions that are taking place
are aimed at looking at long-term
survive-ability,” Minister of Finance
Jim Flaherty said. “It’s a situation
that’s changing day by day and our
government’s watching with a care-
ful eye.”
There have been talks between
Minister of Industry Tony Clement
and the CEOs of the three North
American automakers, Mr. Flaherty
said.
The federal government is “moni-
toring the situation” Mr. Flaherty
said in pointing out that the U.S. has
not committed to a bailout situation
for industry there either.
“In terms of protecting Canadian
interests obviously any support that
might be considered by the gov-
ernment of Canada would be for
the purpose of preserving jobs and
helping the economy in Canada.”
On Friday General Motors an-
nounced layoffs at 10 North Ameri-
can plants, including 500 layoffs at
Oshawa’s car plant.
Calling it a dark day for Oshawa,
Chris Buckley, president of Local
222 of the Canadian Auto Workers,
said this is the worst time in the his-
tory of the auto industry.
“I am absolutely scared on behalf
of my members,” he said.
GM lost $2.5 billion in the third
quarter, the company’s financial re-
port revealed Friday morning. The
report also warns that the automak-
er’s liquidity in 2008 “will approach
the minimum amount necessary to
operate its business.”
As a result, 10 plants in North
America will slow production. One
of those plants will be the Oshawa
car plant and the other nine will be
in the U.S.
The local car plant produces
the Impala and the Buick Allure/
LaCrosse. The plant will produce
fewer Impalas per hour, which will
result in 500 layoffs as of Jan. 1,
2009. These layoffs are temporary
and based on market conditions,
said GM Canada spokesman Stew
Low.
Production of the LaCrosse/Al-
lure was previously scheduled to
end Dec. 23. This was announced
earlier in the year and will result in
400 fewer jobs in the plant. Those
jobs have been accommodated
through retirement incentives and
buyouts, Mr. Low said.
In all, the plant, which produces
66 vehicles per hour, will soon pro-
duce 45 per hour, resulting in the
need for fewer workers.
The job reductions are scary, Mr.
Buckley said.
Liquidity is now GM’S top pri-
ority, GM CEO Rick Wagoner said
Friday.
The union wants the federal gov-
ernment to react to the situation, to
look at trade policies and consider
helping the industry, Mr. Buckley
said.
“It makes me absolutely sick to
my stomach,” he said. “It makes no
sense that they’re funnelling billions
of dollars into financial institutions
when the biggest part of our econo-
my here in Canada is bleeding funds
and bleeding good-paying jobs.”
In calling for help from the federal
government, Mr. Buckley said it’s
not just an issue for Ottawa but the
U.S. government as well.
“They have to pay attention to
the decline in the auto industry or
it’s going to evaporate from North
America.”
Mr. Flaherty said the government
is watching the “fluid” situation with
the auto industry and it will be on
the automakers to prove they have a
solid plan for surviving long term.

PICKERING — When Anna DiDuca’s name
was called as business person of the year her
response was total shock.
“Anna that’s you,” one of her friends whis-
pered to her when her name was called as
the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade’s business
person of 2008, she said.
Ms. DiDuca opened a Petro-Canada six
years ago after she realized she was tired of
the corporate world. She decided to become
a fuel station franchisee because the parent
company’s “culture was a good fit for me,” she
said.
No matter
what kind of
business you
are in, it’s not
about the product you are selling, Ms. DiDuca
said.
“It’s all about people at the end of the day.”
Learning her first business wasn’t easy. There
were days Ms. DiDuca said she would wonder
what she had gotten herself into. But overall
the past six years have been amazing, she said.
After the success of her gas bar, Petro-Canada
approached her to open a Neighbours in 2006.
Neighbours was a new concept store the com-
pany was trying and they asked her to open
one of the first locations in the GTA.
Taking on the challenge was a great oppor-
tunity, Ms. DiDuca said.
“You’ve got to be willing to take a risk.”
Ms. DiDuca believes the greatest asset she
has as a business owner is her employees.
Her team has taken on community projects,
including a charity toy drive they run each
Christmas.
“It speaks volumes about my team.”
And Ms. DiDuca’s employees think great
things about her too, said award judge Bonnie
Fraser.
“Her employees think the world of her.”
Ms. DiDuca supports many community
causes including Sick Kids Hospital. She has
also been recognized with a YWCA Women
of Distinction award. It is her involvement
that made her the perfect choice for business
woman of the year, Ms. Fraser said.
“(Anna DiDuca’s) contributions to the com-
munity were second to none.”

Anna DiDuca was named the Ajax-Pickering
Board of Trade business person of the year.
She is the owner of the Petro-Canada station
at Brock and Kingston roads in Pickering. She
has won the company’s President’s Award
two years in a row and was the first to open
a Neighbours food service location in her
Pickering station.

Pickering
bicycle retailer
saw spike
in electric bike
sales in
past year
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Andrew
Kum’s 15-kilometre ride to
work has become a 20-min-
ute, quiet, traffic-free excur-
sion he truly enjoys.
“You get some fresh air,
you get to go down the path
and you see a lot more,” he
said in an interview.
The electric-assisted bike
the Bay Cycle and Sports
employee has been riding to
work in Pickering from his
home in Scarborough since
June has also decreased his
carbon footprint as well as
his gas consumption.
“I save about $500 a
month,” he said.
The part-time employee
and student took a specific
interest in the electric bike
that’s been hot on the mar-
ket for the past year and
chose to see how it would fit
his lifestyle.
So, since June, he’s been
riding it to work along the
Waterfront Trail and he
plans to continue to do so
until weather conditions
make him stop.
“I’m going to ride it until
I can’t ride it any more,” he
said, adding people do ride
their electric bikes in all
conditions, but he just pre-
fers not to.
Bay Cycle has sold be-
tween 40 and 50 electric
bikes in the past year, said
co-owner Tim Vector.
He said the store has been
selling them for the past 10
years, but back then, it was
more for novelty purposes
that people would purchase
them.
Now, he said, people are
taking the environment into
consideration when trading
in their car for a bike, or at
least trying to save at the
pump.
Also, many people with
physical disabilities and se-
niors are able to ride certain
models since they can liter-
ally ride it without peddling
if they choose.
“They’ve really, really
come alive,” he said. “It’s re-
ally come a long way.”
An electric bike’s speed
limit is 32 kilometres per
hour and Mr. Vector said
the average cyclist pedals
around 15 kilometres per
hour.
Mr. Kum said the bike is
great for people going to
work because, if they want,
they can ride the bike to
work solely using the motor
if they don’t want to sweat,
and they can peddle home
if they want some exercise.
The bike gets regular servic-
ing but just needs it twice as
frequently as regular bikes.
The average battery only has
to be recharged about every
35 to 40 kilometres and they
last about five years. There
are batteries available that
can last about 80 kilome-
tres before needing to be re-
charged.
“You just charge the bat-
tery and go,” Mr. Kum said.
Electric bikes range be-
tween $1,000 and $2,000 and
are available at Bay Cycle.

QUICKNESS TRAINING
Quickness training is taught on ice by skating sprint intervals. It’s very important
that when you train for quickness, that you avoid the player becoming tired
or fatigued. If the player becomes tired he/she will not be able to move their
legs at top speed. You must skate short sprints followed by long rest periods for
recovery. My guideline is a 5:1 skate and rest period. Skate at maximum speed
for 10 seconds; rest for 50 seconds. Off ice running sprint intervals is excellent
in quickness training and does not effect skating technique at all.

A recipe for business success,
said business owner
By Melissa Mancini
mmancini@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Running a business is like
gardening.
Well, maybe not exactly, but the hobby
does provide a good metaphor for CEOs.
Both require design, planting, weeding and
fertilizing, Bowmanville Foundry owner
Deborah Patrick said.
“Make sure your garden is
nice all year,” Ms. Patrick said
as she spoke to a crowd of local
business people at the Bridges
to Better Business conference held in Bow-
manville on Oct. 29. The conference was
presented by the Business Advisory Centre
Durham (BACD) and Clarington Board of
Trade.
A lot of times in the garden you end up
replanting to get the most out of colour-
ful plants. Don’t be afraid to replant in the
business world as well and move employees
around to find the positions that suit them
best. Grow, but grow with caution. Ask your-
self whether you should grow the customers
you have or grow your customer base, Ms.
Patrick said. Weed out customers. Ms. Patrick
said she knows that might sound like a crazy
idea but having too many customers can be a
problem. It’s important to analyze time spent
on each customer.
Trim and prune your activities. Look at the
things you do every day that keep you busy
but don’t allow you to get anything done
and cut those activities out. The purpose of
pruning shrubs is to cut them back so they
can grow and flourish later. Similarly in busi-
ness, owners should keep pro-
cedures lean and relevant, Ms.
Patrick said.
Remember to fertilize. Put
time and resources into employees. Provide
ongoing training and ensure the key people
in your business aren’t getting burnt out by
working too much overtime, Ms. Patrick said
“If they have to be in there all the time you
need to get them help.” To do such a tuneup
Ms. Walker suggests accessing services avail-
able at the BACD, including consultations
with experts. To learn more about the BACD
call 905-438-4008 or visit www.bacd.ca.

Mandy Budan’s wonderful, abstract landscapes
By Mike Ruta
mruta@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Landscapes are a staple of
Canadian painting, generally associated with
the Group of Seven, who captured Canada’s
varied geography in bold colours.
But, while many landscape painters do their
utmost to realistically depict a scene, Pickering
painter Mandy Budan has taken a different
route. Her abstract landscapes indeed feature
bold colours, but she uses abstract shapes to
depict a tree, a forest, or a flower, for example.
The result in each case is a stunning, cohesive
painting that is unmistakably her own.
Budan’s ‘Toward Autumn’ was recently
named Best in Show in the 2008 PineRidge
Arts Council’s Juried Art Exhibition.
“I started painting sort of more traditional
landscapes, but, I don’t know why, I started
superimposing shapes on top of them,” she
said in an interview.
She said to a great degree, the object or
scene she’s painting determines the shape or
shapes she uses.
“If I’m doing a maple tree, the shapes can
be sort of triangular,” Budan said, resembling
the shape of the tree’s leaves.
She likes driving around the countryside
with camera in tow, shooting scenes that cap-
ture her eye. Most recently, Budan spent some
time shooting in the Rouge Valley, returning
to her home with a number of ideas for paint-
ings. Her process is to make a rough sketch of
a scene, then use primary colours to slowly
build the scene into what she’s aiming for.
Budan says while she works on several proj-
ects at once, “I only actually paint one at a
time.”
Budan was born in Toronto and has lived
in Pickering for about 15 years. While she
started painting in high school, she entered
the graphic design field and has only been
painting seriously for the last eight or nine
years. Budan said she has had an online pres-
ence and been selling work for roughly five
years, with impressive results.
“I seem to sell almost every original I offer
up, which is very gratifying,” she said.
Budan said the show is a “great experience”
in that she enjoyed looking at the work of
other artists in the exhibition. It’s her third
time entering the show. Budan won the On-
tario Power Generation Award in 2006 and
was featured in the 2007 exhibit.
Visit www.abstractlandscapepainting.com
to see more of her work.
The PineRidge Arts Council’s exhibition
continues at the McLean Community Centre,
95 Magill Dr. (at Westney Road) in Ajax until
Nov. 30. The works are in the atrium and can
be viewed during regular centre hours.

Event to showcase
young performers
Singers, dancers, bands
ready to show their stuff
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Young talent will be on stage in
Ajax this weekend.
The Ajax on Stage youth talent showcase
is on Saturday, Nov. 15, with performances
by 23 acts, including singers, dancers and
bands.
One band performing is Devine Purpose,
a quartet that does “gospel kind of stuff.
Church related,” said Matthew Burnett, 17.
Matthew plays the drums, and joining
him are Marc Munhertz on bass, Clayton
Connell on keyboards and Tim Chase on
guitar.
The Grade 12 student found out about
the event when he saw a flyer at the McLean
Community Centre.
“I saw it and thought it would be a good
opportunity to go out and try out for it,” he
said.
Devine Purpose has been together for two
years, he said.
Stephanie Davis, 16, will be singing,
something she’s been doing since she was
eight.
“Three years ago, I was on the Ajax web-
site and I saw Ajax on Stage. It’s a great
venue and I’ve been doing it since the be-
ginning,” Stephanie said. “I like performing
and this is a great way to do it.”
She’ll perform with the a cappella group
The Femtones and do a solo number.
Cindy Girdhari, 15, Natalia DeSouza, 15,
and Marissa Shaw, 13, are dancing togeth-
er as Geetika Indian Dancers, something
they’ve been doing for three years.
“Our dance teacher told us,” said Cindy
on how the girls found out about the event.
They’re dancing “to get experience and to
have fun doing it,” Cindy said.
The event is from 6 to 9:30 p.m. in the J.
Clarke Richardson/Notre Dame Commu-
nity Theatre, 1355 Harwood Ave. N.
Tickets are $3 each and available at the
Ajax and McLean community centres.

Lady Cougars gut out repeat
LOSSA girls’ basketball crown
Ajax’s Notre Dame
ekes out 52-46 victory
over Pickering’s
Dunbarton Spartans
in senior final
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
UXBRIDGE — It was gut-check
time for the Notre Dame Lady
Cougars, pulling together through
adversity to repeat as Durham
Region senior girls’ basketball
champs in Uxbridge on Wednes-
day night.
The Lake Ontario Secondary
School Athletics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’
senior girls’ basketball final pro-
vided plenty of entertainment and
intrigue before a packed house at
Uxbridge Secondary School, as
Notre Dame hung on for a 52-46
victory over the Dunbarton High
School Spartans.
With the win, the Lady Cougars
stayed perfect in LOSSA play this
season with a 13-0 record. More-
over, it constituted their second
consecutive LOSSA title.
But, the win wasn’t a corona-
tion for the defending champs,
who summoned up all of their
resolve to hold off a hard-charg-
ing Dunbarton squad. The Lady
Cougars simply found a way to
win.
Momentum had clearly swung
in favour of the surprising Spar-
tans late in the third quarter after
Lady Cougars’ floor leader Nich-
olle McKenzie fouled out with
1:56 remaining and Dunbarton
leading 30-29.
Following the contest, Lady
Cougars’ coach Rose Booker con-
firmed the loss of McKenzie, as
well as that of starting forward
Monique Johnson to an elbow
injury in Monday’s semifinal,
may have been too much for her
charges to overcome.
“I don’t want to say it, but I
thought we were done,” said
Booker. “With Monique out and
now with Nicholle on the bench,
our whole thing is we were trying
to match up with their height.”
The Lady Cougars, however, re-
grouped, with other starters step-
ping up in the crucial late stages
of the contest.
“When we got into foul trou-
ble we saw that we needed other
people to pick it up. Lindsay (Pan-
chan) saw that, Catherine (Bou-
goulias) saw that and Shanika
(Baker) saw that. We had to re-
group because (McKenzie’s) been
our leader and she was now on
the bench. That seemed to el-
evate everyone else’s game,” said
Booker.
Panchan led the charge, scor-
ing 12 of her 18 points in the
final half. She noted she and her
teammates were unwilling to let
their hard work this season go for
naught.
“We dug down deep in our
hearts because we wanted to win
for each other. We could have gave
up, but we chose to persevere and
play hard.”
In the final minute of the third
quarter, Panchan went 2-for-2
from the free throw line and, with
12 seconds remaining, Baker hit a
three to lift the Lady Cougars into
a four-point lead at 34-30.
Back-to-back three-pointers
by Panchan and Bougoulias gave
the Lady Cougars a six-point edge
early in the fourth. Bougoulias
then found Baker in the paint for
an eight-point 42-34 lead. The
Spartans later cut the lead to two
Banner night for the Cougars
AJAX — It was definitely the night of the Cougars in Uxbridge on
Wednesday night.
The Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School girls’ basketball teams
completed a rare double, winning the LOSSA junior and senior ‘AAAA’
crowns at Uxbridge Secondary School.
“We put two winning seasons together, so we’re thrilled,” said Lady
Cougars’ senior coach Rose Booker.
For emphasis, both teams posted undefeated 13-0 records in LOSSA
play this year.
The Notre Dame junior and senior teams almost pulled off the sweep
a year ago at the 2007 LOSSA championships, but only the senior team
won as the juniors were bested by the Pickering High School Trojans.

Ajax’s Trojans
take on top
U.S. teams
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
AJAX — The Pickering High
School Trojans senior boys’ basket-
ball team will play two top American
teams during a sojourn to Michigan
this weekend.
The Trojans are slated to play two
U.S. teams, one of which contains
a player who’s very familiar to the
players and coaching staff at the Ajax
school, notes Pickering High coach
Mike Gordensky.
On Saturday in Fowler, Mich., the
Trojans play Findlay College Prep
school from Las Vegas, where former
Trojans’ guard Corey Joseph is now
playing.
“It’s going to be great for the kids
to see Corey again. He’s friends with
everyone on the team. He made a
personal decision to go down there,
so I’m sure he’ll be glad to see his
old friends again. No doubt, our guys
want bragging rights from the game,”
said Gordensky.
The Trojans open their Michi-
gan tour against the New Creations
school of Indiana tonight, Friday,
Nov. 14 in Fowler, Mich..
Gordensky says the trip will serve
to bring the team closer together,
while also taking the court against
some top-quality teams.
“It’s all about team bonding and
the chance to play two very good
teams from the U.S.,” he said, adding
Joseph’s coach at Findlay College
Prep was instrumental in arranging
the games.
On the return trip to Ajax, the Tro-
jans will stop in Windsor on Sunday
to play Catholic Central at 1 p.m.
The Trojans sent only eight play-
ers to compete at the Huron Heights
tournament in Newmarket recently,
returning home with the champi-
onship. Pickering High defeated
Huron Heights 53-37, West Humber
Collegiate 68-47 and, in the final,
trounced McNabb from Hamilton
85-48.
The senior Trojans also captured
the championship at the Henry Carr
Early Bird Tournament in Toronto
recently. Facing the host Henry Carr
Crusaders in the final, Pickering
High pulled off an impressive 76-65
victory.
In the semifinal, the Trojans side-
lined Mother Teresa school 59-48.
They defeated Loyola of Missis-
sauga 81-65 and Milliken Mills of
Markham 71-50 in opening games.
Guard Jonathan Tull and forward
Kevin Thomas were named to the
tourney’s all-star team. Guard Rob-
ert Gagliardi was named most valu-
able player.

UXBRIDGE — The Notre Dame
Lady Cougars were singular in their
mission this basketball season: Erase
the sting of losing the LOSSA junior
title to the Pickering High School
Trojans a year ago.
Mission accomplished.
The same teams met again for
the Lake Ontario Secondary School
Athletics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ junior girls’
championship at Uxbridge Second-
ary School on Wednesday night, but
this time the Lady Cougars emerged
victorious. Notre Dame led from start
to finish to record a 31-24 win in the
low-scoring affair.
In addition to their LOSSA cham-
pionship victory, the Lady Cougars
juniors completed a perfect LOSSA
season, compiling a 13-0 record.
They finished 25-2 overall this sea-
son (including tournaments).
Lady Cougars’ coach Mark Van
Rhee notes a trip back to the LOSSA
final was “all they wanted” and to win
it over their cross-town rivals from
Pickering High was special.
“Because of the loss (in the final)
last year, they didn’t want to go
through that feeling again. That was
the motivation from Day 1, from the
first tryout to the last practice,” said
Van Rhee.
And, while the Trojans made the
Cougars work hard on the offensive
end, Van Rhee noted the key was his
team’s spirited defensive effort.
“Defence was key. We didn’t ex-
ecute our offence as perfectly as we
wanted to, but with our defence, they
couldn’t get inside,” he said.
Notre Dame went on a 10-0 run to
open the first quarter keyed by two
short jumpers by centre Becky Nash.
Pickering bounced back to score the
final four points of the quarter.
The Lady Cougars regained their
10-point cushion in the second quar-
ter, helped along by a long jumper by
Nash as well as a steal and a layup
by Safiya Antrobus for a 14-4 lead.
The Trojans, however, recovered to
finish the quarter trailing 16-9. Notre
Dame maintained their seven-point
cushion in the third, leading 20-13,
and then held off the Trojans the rest
of the way.
Trojans’ coach David Jackson said
his players worked hard throughout,
but their shots weren’t falling.
“We should have made more
shots, but our girls worked hard. They
played very hard defensively and
that’s what Pickering High School
basketball teams take pride in. It was
a shame to come up flat today. It was
just not our night,” he said.
Nash led the way for the Lady
Cougars with 10 points, followed by
Jenna Bennett with six.
Tekima Millington-Rowe replied
with 13 for the Trojans.

at the three-minute mark as Spar-
tans’ centre Michelle Spiers fin-
ished a rebound after two previous
attempts.
The backbreaker for the Spar-
tans came out of a timeout with
1:39 remaining and the Lady
Cougars up 46-44. Panchan went
coast-to-coast to give Notre Dame
a four-point edge. Notre Dame
went 3-for-4 from the line in the
final minute to lock up the win and
the title.
Dunbarton coach Jan Heyes was
proud of the effort exhibited by his
Spartans, noting it was a complete
effort.
“They’ve played hard all season.
They’re just a great group of girls.
They left it all on the floor, but fell
short,” said Heyes. “I give Notre
Dame a lot of credit. They stuck
with it and didn’t give us any easy
baskets and that began to wear on
us.”
Panchan and Baker each record-
ed 18-point efforts for the Lady
Cougars. Bougoulias chipped in
with six and Brianna Thomas had
five.
Simone Thomas led the Spar-
tans with 19 points, followed by
Wumi Agunbiade with 16 and Spi-
ers with 11.

Michael Randal MacIntosh
July 21, 1987 - November 15, 2007
In all that life has given me,
And all that's left to do,
I never had a greater gift
Than the years I spent with you.
The moment that you passed away,
My heart was torn in two,
One side fi lled with memories,
the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory
lane, with tears upon my cheeks.
Michael, remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
But missing you is heartache
That will never go away.
I hold you tight within my heart,
And there you will remain,
Life's gone on without you,
But it will never be the same.
If I could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart,
For yesterday and you.
Miss you Buddy, love you forever,
Mom and Beckster.
DOUGLAS FERGUSON
July 29, 1916 ~ November 14, 2007
O ye whose cheek the tear of pity stains,
Draw near with pious rev'rence, and attend!
Here lie the loving husband's dear remains,
The tender father, and the gen'rous friend;
The pitying heart that felt for human woe,
The dauntless heart
that fear'd no human pride;
The friend of man - to vice alone a foe;
For ev'n his failings leaned to virtue's side.
Robbie Burns
Dearly missed and
never forgotten
by family and friends.
JOSEPH HODDER
July 23, 1924 - November 15, 2006
We miss you more than words can express
But the wonderful memories keep us going
Always and forever in our minds
and hearts
Forever and Ever Amen

DURHAM — For the fifth con-
secutive year, Team Ontario ‘Red’
captured gold at the 2008 Na-
tional Women’s Under-18 Hockey
Championships, hosted in Napa-
nee recently.
And, the two Durham Junior
Lightning players on the team -
- forward Danielle Skirrow and
defenceman Kailey Chappell --
were solid contributors to Ontario
‘Red’s’ gold-medal victory.
Playing Quebec in the gold-
medal final last Sunday, the teams
proceeded to double overtime be-
fore Ontario ‘Red’ captain Bri-
anne Jenner ended it in Ontario’s
favour with a goal on a breakaway
for a 2-1 victory.
Skirrow earned her goals in dif-
ferent games, one in 2-1 victory
over Atlantic, where she was also
named Player of the Game, and
the other coming during a 6-2 vic-
tory over Saskatchewan.
Meanwhile, the Durham Ju-
nior Lightning placed five play-
ers -- forwards Jessica Vella, Lisa
Stathopulos, Nicole Gifford and
Jamie Hatheway and defender
Shannon Stoneburgh -- onto the
Ontario ‘Blue’ developmental
squad.
Ontario ‘Blue’ posted its best-
ever result at the national U18s,
finishing fourth after a 3-1 loss
to Team Manitoba in the bronze-
medal final.
Gifford scored twice for Ontario
‘Blue’ in its 3-1 victory over Sas-
katchewan in pool play. She was
also named as the Player of the
Game.
Vella also notched a goal that
helped Ontario ‘Blue’ get past
Team Atlantic 3-2.
All seven Durham Junior Light-
ning players will suit up in Pro-
vincial Women’s Hockey League
games this weekend, as Durham
is in Windsor to play the South-
west Wildcats on Saturday. On
Sunday, the Junior Lightning are
in Sarnia to play Bluewater on
Sunday. PICKERINGADVERTISING FEATURECrawford & Sons: Fixing Basement Leaks Right the First Time
A leaking
basement is
frustrating and
expensive –
and it’s not
something you
want to have to
fix repeatedly.
That’s why it’s
best to bring in
a professional,
someone who
can pinpoint
the problem
and repair it
right the first
time.
Gordon Crawford of Crawford &
Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the
business for more than
30 years and has been in
close to 15,000 homes in
Durham region.
“I’ve seen
virtually every possible
leaking situation you can
imagine,” he says, “and
I’m still learning.”
Crawford’s
extensive experience
has taught him to be
innovative and try
different techniques
to solve problems.
He takes pride in his
troubleshooting ability.
“I like to
professionally solve
problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost
to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that
may involve excavating the entire perimeter
of the house and replacing the weeping tiles,
but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.”
Crawford adds that if he can try
something else first, he will.
“An interior
weeping tile system with
drainage board can be
extremely efficient and
cost effective by saving
costly damages to exterior
landscaping,” he says.
Crawford warns
that it’s important not to
ignore the problem. He says
homeowners who invest in
their foundations will save
money in the long term.
“Water corrodes
and people tend to live
with the problem until it
escalates into a bigger
one,” he says. “You have
to get in quickly.”
Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat,
efficient service and a free professional
evaluation. For more information, call Gordon
Crawford at (905) 686-6880.
