incident in which
body was discovered
in gravel drive on
Fairport Road
PICKERING — Durham police
have identified the man whose body
was found sprawled in a driveway in
north Pickering earlier this week.
Ramesh Partap, 32, was found on
a property on Fairport Road around
6:30 a.m. Tuesday. An autopsy was
conducted Thursday, but police are
withholding the cause of death and
other details of the investigation.
Mr. Partap is Durham’s fifth homi-
cide victim this year.
A man who was stabbed outside
an Ajax nightclub early Friday be-
came the sixth.
Investigators have yet to locate the
dead man’s vehicle, a white 1999
Caravan with the licence plate ACVA
820. Residents are warned not to
approach the vehicle, but to call po-
lice.
Police were called to the property
early Tuesday after the man’s body
was discovered and spent the next
couple of days gathering evidence at
the site. Mr. Partap was found lying
on the ground shirtless; a shirt and
undershirt were located close to his
body.
Homicide detectives want to hear
from anyone who has information
on Mr. Partap’s movements prior to
his death.
They also want to speak with any-
one who noticed unusual activity
in the vicinity of Fairport Road and
Finch Avenue earlier this week.
Anyone with information is asked
to call 905-579-1520, ext. 5400. Or
Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

homicide victim
identified as
Mississauga man

DURHAM — Police have laid several
charges against the driver of a Jeep in-
volved in a crash that killed an Oshawa
woman and her son and await results of
blood tests to see if further counts are war-
ranted.
Syed Zaeshan Naqvi surrendered to OPP
in Whitby Wednesday morning, Constable
David Woodford said during a media brief-
ing at the detachment. The 25-year-old
Scarborough resident is charged with three
counts of dangerous driving causing death,
a single count of dangerous driving causing
bodily harm and one count of driving while
under suspension. He was held for a bail
hearing.
Mr. Naqvi was the driver of a Jeep
Cherokee that crossed the centre line to
pass another vehicle on Hwy. 12 north of
Brooklin Saturday night. His southbound
vehicle slammed head-on into a north-
bound Grand Am being driven by 34-year-
old Dorothy Sauve of Oshawa. Ms. Sauve
and her 17-month-old son Matthew were
killed, as was Salman Javed, 24, of Scarbor-
ough, a passenger in the Jeep.
Mr. Naqvi, who sustained a broken arm
in the crash, was originally arrested for
impaired driving and provided blood and
breath samples before being released. Po-
lice have sent the blood sample to the
Centre of Forensic Sciences so it can be de-
termined what his blood-alcohol level was
at the time of the crash, Const. Woodford
said.
“We don’t know how much alcohol was
in his blood at the time of the collision,”
Const. Woodford said.
“There was alcohol on his breath,” he
added. “There were empty beer (contain-
ers) in the vehicle.”
Const. Woodford stressed that the inves-
tigation remains open.
Police laid the dangerous driving charg-
es because of the nature of the accident, he
said. The Jeep was passing another vehicle
on a curve marked by a solid line when
the crash occurred. The dangerous driv-
ing causing bodily harm charge relates to
injuries sustained by another person in Mr.
Naqvi’s Jeep; that person remains in critical
condition in hospital.
A conviction for dangerous driving caus-
ing death carries a maximum sentence of
14 years in prison, Const. Woodford said.
The Jeep full of friends was returning
from a casino when the crash occurred,
he said. Const. Woodford, who was at the
scene of the collision, said it was a horrific
scene.
“Devastating. Just devastating,” he said.
“The laws are clear: You’re not supposed
to pass on a curve.”
A funeral for Ms. Sauve and her son was
to have been held Saturday.

Plan in place to stop Durham garbage
from crossing border to Michigan
Durham Chairman
Roger Anderson says
Region will be ready
By Erin Hatfield
Staff Writer
DURHAM — The Region intends to
deal with its waste locally, and they
just received a push to do so.
Greater Toronto Area municipali-
ties, including Durham Region, that
export more than 1 million tonnes of
garbage to Michigan each year have
four years to stop the flow of Ontario
garbage to Michigan.
A clear plan to curb the flow of On-
tario trash into the United States was
announced Thursday, and Regional
Chairman Roger Anderson welcomed
it since it removes the threat of a sud-
den border closure that has hung
over the Region’s head.
“I think we have a very good plan
of action for dealing with Durham’s
waste in Durham,” said Mr. Anderson.
“We have clear direction from council
and we have government support.”
The solution is an energy-from-
waste facility, which would see Dur-
ham and York Regions’ garbage in-
cinerated. Regional Council endorsed
the plan in June.
“It certainly allows us more time to
work on our environmental assess-
ment and concentrate on the job at
hand,” Mr. Anderson said. “It gives us
some stability and opportunity.”
Currently, the Region of Durham
transports 143,000 tonnes of garbage
to Michigan at a cost of around $10
million a year, according to Mr. An-
derson.
In the agreement between Ontario
and Michigan, there will be a 20 per
cent reduction of Canadian trash
within the first year, a 40 percent re-
duction within two years and a com-
plete end to the shipments within
four years.
The Region shouldn’t have any
trouble meeting the 2010 deadline,
according to Mr. Anderson. In fact, he
said Durham is ahead of other areas
that are affected by the change.
“We have started our environmen-
tal assessment process for our so-
lution to Durham’s waste,” he said.
“So for us it shouldn’t be a problem
as long as the process isn’t delayed
any.”
Furthermore, the more immediate
20 per cent reduction shouldn’t be a
problem for Durham.
“With our green bin program we
are doing very well,” Mr. Anderson
said. “The public is very supportive
and I don’t think we will have any
problem meeting that target.”
Providing there are no delays, Mr.
Anderson said he is optimistic Dur-
ham and York’s incinerator will be up
and running by 2010.
As long as Ontario meets the terms
of the agreement, US senators have
agreed not to pursue the passage of
amendments in this year’s Homeland
Security appropriations bill which
could have stopped trash from cross-
ing the border.

Welcome to a new school year
PICKERING — Lorraine Moir, a Grade 2 teacher at Westney Heights Public School, prepares for returning
students next week.
H onorarium may rise
to more than $16,000
By Crystal Crimi
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Public school board
trustees could soon be getting a 200 per
cent raise.
Under new provincial regulations for
school board members, Durham District
School Board trustees could receive a
maximum of $16,451 a year, while the
chairperson could get $24,767 and the
vice chairperson $20,609.
“That compares with the current hon-
orarium under the regulation of $5,000
a year,” said board treasurer Ed Hodgins
during the Aug. 30 school board meeting.
“So, an increase of $11,400 per year is the
maximum that can be recommended by
the citizens’ committee and the maxi-
mum amount that can be approved by
the board.”
Under the regulation, approved by the
minister of education in late July, the
board has to approve a policy on hono-
rarium by Oct. 31 for the next term of
trustees, but can’t until a citizens’ advi-
sory committee has submitted recom-
mendations on how much they should
receive. The group also has to suggest
an amount of retroactive pay covering
the Sept. 1, 2005 to Nov. 30, 2006 time
period for current trustees. A report from
Mr. Hodgins said the new, annual hono-
rarium limit for that period is $16,436 or
$1,369 a month.
The citizens’ committee has to include
three parent and three community repre-
sentatives from school councils.
According to the regulation’s formula,
a base of $5,900 and enrolment amount
of $10,551 is the maximum increase al-
lowed for Durham District School Board
trustees. A $50 attendance fee could also
be added for trustees who attend each
legislated committee meeting, which in-
cludes the Special Education Advisory
Committee and the Supervised Alterna-
tive Learning for Excused Pupils.
Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford rec-
ommended giving staff direction to es-
tablish a committee and have them make
a decision and recommendation.
“And at that time, we can have a de-
bate,” said Trustee Crawford.
Whitby Trustee Liz Roy asked about
the criteria for organizing the citizens’
committee.
“How will we be seeking people to
participate in this?” asked Trustee Roy.
Director of education Craig Burch said
he’ll invite people over the phone to be
on the committee and send a confir-
mation letter afterwards. He added he
doesn’t want to send out a general letter
looking for participants because of the
short timeline.
“I would make every effort that the six
people are from the various municipali-
ties of the region,” said Mr. Burch.
“I think that’s essentially what I was
looking for,” said Trustee Roy.
According to a memorandum from
the Ontario Public School Board’s As-
sociation, student trustee honoraria will
be outlined in a regulation expected to be
finalized before the end of summer.
Trustees passed a recommendation to
have Mr. Burch establish a citizen’s com-
mittee to report back to the board with
recommendations in conjunction with
the honorarium regulation.
Public trustee salaries could
triple under regulation

EDITORIAL
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Make sure you
think before
you drive
The tragic car accident which claimed the life of moth-
er and baby last weekend should cause all drivers to
pause and reflect.
Any traffic fatality is a devastating occurrence but when
it takes the life of a child it can’t help but bring a tear to
one’s eye. We reflect on a life that was just starting and
inevitably it leads to the question, “Why?”
Dorothy Sauve and her 17-month-old son Matthew were
killed on Hwy. 12 when a Jeep driving in the opposite direc-
tion pulled out to pass and slammed into Mrs. Sauve’s car.
Just more than a week before a young boy’s life was also
taken when a truck crashed into the back of the family car
on Hwy. 401 in Ajax.
Dangerous driving causing death charges were laid in
the Sauve case on Wednesday while the 401 accident is still
under investigation. Regardless of charges, these and other
accidents could have been prevented.
There are many factors that can lead to accidents: alco-
hol, faulty vehicles, lack of driver focus and road condi-
tions. The common denominator in all is the driver. It’s
the driver’s responsibility to not drink and drive, ensure
his vehicle is serviced regularly, give total focus to the road
when driving and drive according to the conditions of the
road.
Another issue is age. Not all, but many young drivers
don’t have a true sense of mortality and often take stupid
risks behind the wheel. On the other side of the age spec-
trum, many elderly drivers who have diminished reaction
time can put other motorists at risk.
The provincial government needs to step up testing and
the OPP needs to continue to clamp down on dangerous
drivers.
A local family told the News Advertiser a harrowing story
about an impaired driver they trailed on Hwy 35/115 from
Lindsay to Oshawa on Hwy. 401. Four phone calls to OPP
and promises that he would be stopped at Courtice Road
proved fruitless. The family did everything they could to
warn oncoming traffic as the suspect vehicle swerved and
came to abrupt stops along the highway. That lack of police
response could have been fatal.
Drivers also need to remember these tragedies when
they are out on the road and contemplating a dangerous
pass or are following other vehicles too closely.
A few minutes here and there seem pretty irrelevant
when lives are at stake.
Is the green bin for everyone, reader asks
To the editor:
With all the fuss over having households in Durham
Region get into the whole green bin program, why is there
absolutely nothing in place for industrial green bin use?
I don’t see recycling bins in malls, stores or parking lots.
I don’t see the food courts in malls using green bins.
I don’t see restaurants using green bins.
The biggest difference would be made if all the commercial
locations were forced to ‘go green’ too.

disappointed by a grade, they’re coming
from teachers.
The latest proposal that one of the
Province’s mega unions is throwing it-
self behind is to reduce the amount of
report cards for elementary students
from three to two a year.
“It’s a significant workload issue,” said
Rachel Gencey, president of the Dur-
ham local of the Elementary Teachers’
Federation of Ontario in a recent inter-
view.
She said prior to writing reports, there
is lots of pressure to do assessments
and tests to evaluate students. She said
teachers also have to do report prepara-
tion in addition to their regular classes,
and the reports cause a lot of stress.
But report cards are no secret to aspir-
ing teachers and if they’re not prepared
to handle them or put the extra time
in required to do them, they shouldn’t
pursue that career. Teachers get paid a
lot of money to do their jobs, they also
get a lot of benefits and two months off
in the summer, as well as other vacation
time throughout the year.
By eliminating a report card, it would
only cause more stress in the lives of
teachers. The tension that already ex-
ists between some parents and teachers
would grow, since many parents look
forward to written reports and would
likely be disgruntled about losing one.
As a parent said, grades are also a
goal for students to work toward. For
an elementary student, there’s noth-
ing better than running home with a
good report card flapping in their hand,
and bursting through the front door to
show a parent their proud accomplish-
ments. On the flip side, if it’s a bad
report, it gives students an opportunity
to tell their side of the story before par-
ent/teacher interviews. It also allows
parents to be better prepared for the
interview with questions.
There are a lot of good teachers out
there, and sure, they probably work
hard, but so does everyone.
Be it a sandwich shop employee or
an executive director, everyone puts in
extra hours and experiences stress. The
difference is how they handle each situ-
ation. Maybe teachers should be asking
for more stress management courses
instead.
When teacher groups so frequently
complain about their jobs and ask for
more all the time, it doesn’t set a good
example for the youth they’re teaching,
or have a positive influence on their fu-
ture work ethic.

By R. N. Whitehead
It’s back to school time again! Certainly, we
have enjoyed the company of our children for
the summer. We have enjoyed our progeny for 9
1/2 weeks or 63 days or 1,512 hours or 90,720
minutes or – if you are really a masochist –
5,443,200 seconds!
As happy as we may be to have them back at
their studies, our fondest wishes are reserved for
their feelings. We want them to want to return to
school. To want to succeed. To enjoy the quest.
To work hard – perhaps even harder – this year.
But, how to accomplish this. What can we
do to help? A quick review of the two rules of
motivation will help.
1. We cannot motivate children. We can
create lots of stress for them (and us); we can
complicate their lives but motivation comes from
within. Children motivate themselves when they
A New Attitude for School This Year
discover we are offering them something they
want.
2. Your child is already motivated to do those
things that they feel are important or of value
to them. They lose motivation when they are
expected to do things they do not understand
and that do not appear to be important to them.
So what happens when our kids start back to
school seemingly motivated and then lose that
momentum? Where does their motivation go?
No matter how hard it is to believe, our kids
are capable of logical and rational thought.
How they are acting is a direct result of some
conclusion or feeling they have – usually not
consciously held – about themselves. If they
don’t appear motivated, it’s because, deep
down, they have concluded that giving the
appearance of trying is not in their best interest.
The trick for us, as parents, is to make sure that
our expectations are properly understood at our
child’s level, not just at ours. Visualization
exercises can often help. Have your child
visualize success in school. Make the picture
complete. See the classroom. See completed
homework being handed in. See a report card.
See him/herself studying without distractions.
See the fi nal result – happiness and so on.
And fi nally, here is the last, true secret.
Motivation is a result of the action you take to
achieve your values and goals! Action comes
fi rst; motivation follows. For the fi rst few
months of every new school year, help your
kids devise a study time, help them get and
stay organized and make sure they know how
to start every assignment or homework piece.
Enrolling in a good study program will help.
Help them get started! That’s the key
– starting – action! Action fi rst, feelings later.
Don’t expect deep feelings of motivation to
arrive before action. Start the engines fi rst.
The celebration comes later!
Oxford Learning Centres have been
helping students for years build their skills,
confi dence and motivation, and develop
more active minds for learning. You can

New website offers one-
stop access to seniors’
services in 22 Ontario
communities
Th e McGuinty government, with its fed-
eral and municipal partners, has launched
SeniorsInfo.ca making it easier for older
adults to access information, programs and
services from all levels of government On-
tario Minister Responsible for Seniors, Jim
Bradley announced today.
“SeniorsInfo.ca is a terrifi c website for
seniors who want a convenient way to ac-
cess information about all the programs
and services available in their home town,”
said Bradley. “SeniorsInfo.ca was designed
with input from seniors. I encourage se-
niors and their families and caregivers to
log on to www.seniorsinfo.ca to get an-
swers to their questions.”
Need to fi nd out whether you may be
eligible to receive the Guaranteed Income
Supplement? Want information about
OHIP coverage, or a special seniors’ pro-
gram at your local library? Th is innova-
tive website will eliminate the need to run
around from one place to another in search
of information.
Saugeen Shores is just one of 22 On-
tario communities which have developed a
unique website for their seniors.
“Th is initiative will serve to assist
seniors in our communities in Saugeen
Shores. It will also recognize the fact that
seniors are the fastest growing users of the
internet,” said Mayor Mark Kraemer. “We
are pleased to see various levels of govern-
ment working together to serve our resi-
dents.”
Ontario’s seniors population is expect-
ed to more than double to 3.2 million by
2028. Th e McGuinty government has been
investing to help meet the challenges and
opportunities posed by the province’s ag-
ing population, including:
- Increasing the number of cataract sur-
geries by 16 per cent and increasing
the number of hip and knee replace-
ments by 28 per cent by December
2006.
- Par tnering with the Federal Govern-
ment and local municipalities to in-
vest more than $600 million for up to
15,000 new units of aff ordable hous-
ing, and provide rent subsidies for up
to 5,000 lower income households.
Ontario seniors will be among those
who benefi t from more aff ordable
housing, and new housing projects
targeted to seniors are already under-
way. Th e fi rst wave of new funding was
allocated to municipalities in August
2005.

DURHAM — Two Durham
officers were slightly injured
and their cruisers damaged
when a pursuit ended with
a crash early Thursday.
The incident began
around 2 a.m. when cops
attempted to stop a stolen
Chrysler at Gibb Street and
Stevenson Road in Oshawa,
police said. When the driver
of the Chrysler fled, officers
called for backup and pur-
sued the vehicle onto the
401 at the Park Road ramp.
The Chrysler continued
on after a tire blew, the rim
throwing sparks, police
said. The stolen car exited
at Thickson Road in Whitby,
then proceeded north be-
fore slamming into a tractor
trailer at Champlain Drive.
Two cruisers attempting to
block the car in were dam-
aged when they hit the
Chrysler.
Two men leapt from the
car and took off on foot. The
driver was quickly arrested
by police, while another
suspect was cornered at a
nearby plaza by construc-
tion workers. The suspect
held the workers at bay with
a screwdriver until cops ar-
rived and arrested him.
Two Durham officers sus-
tained minor injuries when
their cruisers ran into the
Chrysler, police said.
Ken West, 26, of Wel-
lington Street in London,
faces numerous charges,
including theft, possession
of stolen property, danger-
ous driving and flight from
police. Jonathan Loveday,
32, of no fixed address,
was charged with theft and
weapons charges, among
other counts.

The Mindful Eating Program is a comprehensive treatment
approach for people wanting to break the cycle of dieting and out-
of-control eating. It consists of 8 weekly, 2-hour meetings. The
therapeutic modalities offered in our program are useful in making
shifts in the mental and emotional patterning that lead to using food
as a coping strategy.
Using the principles of mindfulness and cognitive behaviour
therapy, individuals learn to recognize what triggers their eating, the
difference between physical and non-physical hungers, and how to
cope with both in a healthy way.
Diets Don’t Work!
Before you begin yet another weight loss regime, consider that 90%
of dieters who lose weight regain all or part of it within 5 years. Isn’t
it time for a new approach?

DURHAM — Except for the echoes
of electric saws coming from class-
rooms under construction, O’Neill
Collegiate Vocational Institute is
nearly empty in the days leading up
to Sept. 5.
But upstairs in the big Oshawa
high school, about 50 students who
couldn’t wait have already started
classes by taking a Getting Ready for
High School program offered by the
Durham District School Board from
Aug. 21-25.
“I’m nervous, but excited,” said
Laura Simpson, one of the program’s
participants.
Laura went to elementary school in
Ajax at Eagle Ridge Public School, but
will be attending O’Neill CVI for its
performing arts program.
“I get to start over again because no
one knows me, it’s kind of cool,” said
Laura, standing near a row of lockers
that lines the upstairs hallway outside
her class.
Inside the room, teacher Sherry
Bernard gets students to solve math
problems on the chalk board. Through
the program, the soon-to-be Grade 9
students also learn English and study
skills during the half-day, one week
course. Most of the students involved
are going to O’Neill CVI, but some are
also going to Eastdale CVI, McLaugh-
lin CVI and Central CI.
Ms. Bernard said learning how to
study is a big part of the program
because it’s not really something stu-
dents learn in elementary school or
are taught in high school. They’re also
taught to plan for projects.
Ms. Bernard, a math teacher of 17
years, has been involved in the Get-
ting Ready for High School program
for three years and said it’s funny how
scared new students are about mak-
ing the transition.
“A lot of it is the anxiety of coming
to high school, so a lot of them come
(to the program) to meet new people,”
said Ms. Bernard. “Grade 8, they’re
king of the castle, Grade 9, they’re
bottom of the pile.”
Laura said the thought of older kids
makes her nervous.
“I came from a school where I was
the oldest and now I’m going to be
the youngest,” said Laura.
Hayden Joy, who is attending East-
dale this year, is also nervous. De-
scribing himself as shorter, Hayden
said he’s worried about getting bul-
lied.
“They can be really big and push
you in lockers, at least that’s what you
see in movies, but I don’t know if that
happens here,” said Hayden, dressed
in shorts and T-shirt, a combo he
plans to continue when he starts high
school, right up until it gets cold.
He said some of his worry has been
relieved through the high school
ready program; the teacher assured
them Grade 9 initiation no longer oc-
curs.
“I feel a lot better,” said Hayden.
Hayden also hopes the pre-high-
school course will help him start sec-
ondary school off on the right foot.
“I need to know more about orga-
nizing myself,” said Hayden, who was
late for school 13 times last year. He
said he hopes to decrease the number
by 10 for Grade 9.
He also plans on taking advantage
of the study tips he’s learned in the
program throughout the school year.
DURHAM — For high school students,
you have to give to get.
Before graduating from high school,
students have to complete at least 40
hours of community service on their
own time. According to the Durham Dis-
trict School Board, the requirement is to
help youths understand civic responsi-
bility, get involved in their community
and help them feel a sense of worth.
Eligible activities include: fundrais-
ing; coaching or organizing community
events; helping with food drives; partici-
pating in visiting and reading programs;
serving on advisory boards; providing
Sunday school assistance; volunteering
for a local zoo, art gallery or production;
helping someone who requires assis-
tance with snow removal, shopping or
tutoring, and more.
Those who need help finding a volun-
teer opportunity can visit the Volunteer
Resource Centre for Durham Region at
www.volunteerdurham.org/ or click on
the Student Corner link on the Durham
District School Board’s website at www.
durham.edu.on.ca.
This is the second of a three-part series in which education reporter Crystal
Crimi looks at how Durham students are getting ready for the school year.

Make homework a habit
Getting into a study routine
can make a big difference
DURHAM — Making a habit of homework can be es-
sential for student success.
When it comes to homework and studying, the right
time and place can make a big difference, said Debra
Moore, a psychometrist for the Durham District School
Board and author of the booklet, ‘Parent’s Guide to
Helping Your Child With Homework and Study’.
“We’re sort of creatures of habit so it’s important to
establish a routine,” said Ms. Moore.
She encourages students to experiment with times to
find out what works best for them and for everyone in
the house so they won’t be distracted by other occur-
rences. When it’s time to study, students should ensure
they have their homework materials ready so they won’t
be interrupted by having to search for a pencil or com-
pass.
It’s also important to take a five-to-10-minute break
for every 30 minutes of studying.
“Research has shown the information is more likely to
stay in your head if you take a break,” said Ms. Moore.
When sitting down to study, students should do it by
assignment instead of allotting a time slot for comple-
tion, she added. Ms. Moore said if students do it by time,
they may not fully understand what they’re working on
before they’re done.
“Good students know when they know something,
good students know when they don’t know something,”
said Ms. Moore.
She said students need to self-test by writing down
phrases or key words while studying and seeing if they
can remember them afterwards. Paraphrasing and turn-
ing information into something easier to understand
is also recommended, as is group and phone studying,
through which students can test each other.
Listening to the radio while studying may be good for
some students as well, while others may prefer silence.
To prepare for test day, students should get a good
night’s sleep and not arrive at school too early, stressing
out during the wait, she said.
Ms. Moore said Grade 9 and 10 students should spend
one to two hours a night, four-to-five times a week,
studying and doing homework, and
Grade 11 and 12 students should
spend one-and-a-half-to-three
hours a night studying.

The Pickering Panthers’ final junior ‘A’ hockey pre-season game
is against the Capital District (CD) Selects from Troy, New York
at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Sept. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
Ajax trio look to lead Attack
McDonald, Kennedy
and MacLennan
add veteran presence
to junior team
By Al Rivett
Sports Editor
AJAX — Three new Ajax mem-
bers of the Ajax Attack simply got
sick and tired of seeing junior
hockey teams in the town struggle
season after season.
That’s why Craig McDonald,
Jamie Kennedy and Chuck Ma-
cLennan vowed to make a differ-
ence upon their return to their
hometown OHA Ontario Provincial
Junior ‘A’ Hockey League team this
season.
“We wanted to make Ajax re-
spectable again,” says forward Craig
McDonald following the team’s 4-2
pre-season victory over the Brama-
lea Blues at the Ajax Community
Centre Thursday night.
“Hopefully, we can make Ajax a
team that’s known this year, instead
of being known as losers,” inter-
jects teammate Jamie Kennedy, a
defenceman who didn’t dress for
Thursday’s exhibition tilt.
All three acknowledge the words
‘respectable’ and ‘Ajax junior hock-
ey’ have been oxymorons in the
recent past. Last season, under the
new ownership of Toronto car deal-
er Robert Stein, the newly named
Attack nonetheless struggled to a
five-win season, finishing last in
the league’s South Conference
standings. The season previous,
the then-Ajax Axemen won a paltry
three games and were mired at the
bottom of the conference stand-
ings.
McDonald is adamant that if he
and his Ajax cohorts have anything
to say about it, the culture of losing
that has surrounded previous Ajax
junior teams will be a thing of the
past.
“We’ve got places to go next year,
so we came here to not only put
Ajax on the map, but we came here
with a purpose -- to win,” says Mc-
Donald.
All three played with the Hunts-
ville-Muskoka Otters last season,
with MacLennan being dealt at
last season’s trade deadline to the
Hamilton Red Wings for the bal-
ance of the regular season and the
playoffs.
McDonald was the second lead-
ing point getter on the Otters last
season, amassing 40 points (14
goals, 26 assists) in 47 games. Ma-
cLennan was third in team scoring
with the Otters with 19 goals and
17 assists in 36 games. He added a
goal and five assists in nine games
with Hamilton. Meanwhile, Ken-
nedy had a goal and eight assists
with Huntsville-Muskoka.
At the start of the summer, how-
ever, all three were brought to the
Attack after GM John Tugnutt ne-
gotiated cash deals with the Otters
and Red Wings.
And, all three longtime friends --
who also played their minor hockey
in Ajax, having won an all-Ontario
title in the past -- are anxious to get
their junior careers in Ajax under-
way.
“We won a championship in Ajax
when we were 15, so we wanted
to come here and see if we could
come here and win another one,”
says McDonald.
All three see themselves as vet-
eran leaders on an Attack squad,
with Attack head coach Carey Du-
rant already anointing MacLennan
and Kennedy as assistant captains.
All see it as part of their leadership
mantra to assimilate all the new
players into the team concept.
“There are a lot of new guys who
are not necessarily from Ajax,” says
Kennedy. “We’re trying to make ev-
eryone fit in. We’re trying to get ev-
eryone out in public, getting them
known in Ajax.”
MacLennan says so far playing
junior hockey with the new-look
Attack has been great. He and Mc-
Donald are playing alongside team
captain Michael Aiello as a forward
unit, as well as seeing plenty of time
on the power play during the pre-
season.
“It’s been a lot of fun,” says Ma-
cLennan. “I’ve been playing a lot
on the power play and getting a lot
of ice time. They’re counting on me
more for offence, putting pucks in
the net. We expect a lot from our-
selves.”
All three are ready and willing to
push this year’s Attack to unchart-
ed territory. The trio’s confident
that, with their leadership abilities,
a solid season is in the offing.
“It’s been a good experience so
far,” says Kennedy. “There’s a lot
of team building in training camp.
It looks like we’re going to have a
good team. Things are shaping up
really fast.”

AJAX — The Ajax Attack gave
Bramalea a case of the blues during
junior ‘A’ hockey pre-season action
this week.
The OHA Ontario Provincial
Junior ‘A’ Hockey League teams
finished a home-and-home set of
exhibition game on Thursday night
in Ajax, with the Attack earning a
4-2 victory in a penalty-filled affair.
A night earlier in Bramalea, the
Attack skated past the Blues 6-1.
Mark Schiraldi paced the Attack
in Thursday’s contest, netting a
pair of goals. Michael Aiello and
Craig McDonald had the others.
The Attack played in George-
town Friday against the Raiders,
with the result unavailable at press
time.

Felicien second
at Croatian meet
PICKERING — Perdita
Felicien’s European trek continued
to pick up steam as the two-time
Olympian captured a medal at the
meet in Croatia this week.
Felicien, on the comeback trail
after missing
the indoor
season and
some of the
outdoor cam-
paign with
a hamstring
injury, flew
to a second-
place finish in
the women’s
100-metre
hurdles at
the 56th Han-
zekovic Memorial meet in Zagreb.
The Pickering hurdler, who
turned 26 on Tuesday, finished sec-
ond behind Anay Tajada of Cuba in
a time of 12.78 seconds. Tajada won
the race in 12.75. Finishing third was
Athens Olympics gold medallist Jo-
anna Hayes of the U.S.
The second-place finish in Za-
greb was more success for Felicien,
who captured first place at the
Intersport Gugl-Meeting in Linz, Aus-
tria last week.
[ Dragon boat ]
West Rouge crews
on fire at worlds
DURHAM — The West Rouge
Canoe Club’s junior dragon boat
team paddled its way to eight med-
als at the recent World Club Crew
Championships in Toronto.
Three crews were put forward
from the WRCC, which involves
members from Ajax and Pickering,
and earned a gold, three silver and
four bronze medals in the following
categories: Open 200-metre, open
500m, open 2000m, mixed 200m,
mixed 500m, mixed 2000m, wom-
en’s 200m, and women’s 500m.
The dragon boat crews have
been practising since last year at
an indoor pool and were on the
water as soon as the ice cleared
from Frenchman’s Bay.
The mixed and open crews
also raced at the Canadian National
Trials and earned a berth to com-
pete as a Canadian Junior Team at
the 2007 International Dragon Boat
Federation World Championships in
Sydney, Australia.
Dan and Angela Evelyn
coached the various WRCC crews
to victory.

cerning the WRCC, visit the club’s

PAVING
LTD.

www.northlandpaving.com
Authorized Contractor (416)286-4292
(Offer Expires Sept. 30/06)
Northland has recently
celebrated the opening of their
new and larger facility in east
Scarborough, 70 Minuk Acres in
the Meadowvale/Lawrence area
and is now pleased to service the
Pickering/Ajax community.
Northland Paving has been
a trusted paving contractor for
nearly 20 years. They have been
proudly recognized for contribu-
tions to the community and com-
mitment to quality as recipient of
20 Readers' Choice Awards.
In keeping consistent with their
longstanding reputation as an indus-
try pioneer, Northland Paving is the
f irst to introduce a new industry-
shaping concept designed to ease the
home-owners process of selecting a
driveway contractor.
Paving Depot, a Northland
Paving initiative, was unveiled at
the grand opening. Northland now
offers customers a “one stop shop-
ping experience” by providing their
clients the opportunity to visit onsite
to select stone colours and interact
with their friendly office staff.
Northland has designed a beau-
tiful outdoor showroom showcasing
the perfect backyard. Customers
are invited to come in and view the
display for ideas as well as see the
colours and type of stones used in
person rather than relying on pictures
in a brochure.
For paving customers who are
handy with a measuring tape, they
can bring their measurements in and
get a quotation right on the spot.
This is in an effort to bring cred-
ibility to the industry, as many
contractors operate using only a
cell phone and a P.O. box. The
image of the paving industry has
suffered greatly due to an abundant
supply of such “fly-by-nighters”;
Having been a Unilock
Authorized Contractor for close to
20 years, Northland has now become
a a Unilock Dealer and have been
working with Unilock to offer semi-
nars for the do-it-yourself customer
as well as for those who just want
to educate themselves prior to the
installation process.
For a free estimate call (416)
286-4292.
Northland Paving Now Has New
And Larger Facility In Scarborough
Bruce, President of North-
land Paving along with
Scarborough City Councillor
Gay Cowbourne conduct-
ed the Offi cial Ribbon Cut-
ting ceremony at the grand
opening of Northland's new
location.
