Speaking at an information session on Thursday, Kiloran German said a “high, high threshold” has to be cleared in order for it to be approved. Ms. German said the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives parties haven’t been pushing the issue. “If, by some fluke, the referendum is passed, it will be over a year of debate in the legislature. Plus, there will be de- bate in each political party,” she said. Held at the Ajax Town hall, the in- formation session was hosted by the Community Development Council of Durham and attended by about 30 people. MMP was recommended by the Cit- izens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform, a body appointed by the provincial government in June of 2005 to study the election process used in Ontario. Rhonda Breadner of Elections On- tario said if MMP is accepted, it would only apply provincially and not feder- ally or municipally. In order to be approved, MMP would need to be supported by at least 60 per cent of all ballots cast and 50 per cent of voters in 64 ridings. If that’s achieved, the government would have to introduce legislation by Dec. 31, 2008. MMP would then be used in the next provincial election. Under MMP, “A party’s seats would roughly equal its total share of the vote,” Ms. Breadner stated. With MMP, there would be 129 seats -- 90 ridings and 39 filled from names on lists submitted by each political party. Ms. German said groups such as women and minorities are under-rep- resented in the legislature with the current system, noting most MPs are “male, mostly middle age, white and lawyers.” There are “structural barriers” to keeping under-represented groups out, she stated. Canada is the 48th-ranked country in the world in terms of female par- ticipation in politics. All the countries ahead of Canada have some form of proportional representation, Ms. Ger- man stated. “You’ll hear all kinds of BS about how it doesn’t work,” she said.

Referendum proponent doubtful of success Food bank in need of juice, pasta and rice By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM — No child should ever go to school hungry, says an execu- tive member of a local food bank. But this has been happening more and more in Ajax and Pickering and the St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Communi- ty Food Bank’s Thanksgiving Drive, which will run until Oct. 14, hopes to help this problem. “This is to sustain us for the whole year,” said executive member Donna Cook. “This is what we rely on.” The food bank has been providing food for hungry families in Pickering and Ajax for the past 17 years. Open all year round, more than 50 volun- teers currently keep the food bank on its feet, many of whom continuously donate themselves. And although staff thanks the generous donors in Ajax and Pickering, the food bank is finding itself struggling to feed all of west Durham’s hungry stomachs. “We’re out of pasta,” said director Rae Coulter. “We haven’t been out of pasta in 17 years.” Other items the bank needs in- clude rice, canned meat and tuna, peanut butter, cereal, Kraft Dinner, flour, canned fruit and children’s snacks. Ms. Cook stressed the impor- tance of donating food that has not reached its expiry date, and hasn’t been opened. She said they want the families who use the food bank to have dignity. “If it’s not good enough for you, then the poor don’t want it,” she Feeding Pickering and Ajax’s hungry Trustee wants students in uniforms Pickering public representative says change would have lots of positives By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — With student safety on his mind, a Pickering trustee wants to investigate bringing uniforms into Durham public schools. During the Durham District School Board’s Oct. 1 standing commit- tee meeting, Pickering Trustee Chris Braney said he’d like to see uniforms implemented in some schools as early as September 2008. “There’s just a lot of positive benefits I saw when we had it on,” said Trustee ✦ See Proponent, Page A2 • Any grocery store in Pickering, both Sobey’s stores in Ajax • Pickering and Ajax fire halls • 1537 Pickering Pkwy.

Keep the present system and demand better.” MMP is “an attack on our communities,” as the number of ridings would decrease from 107 (the number of ridings in the current election) to 90, he added. Voters won’t know who they are electing when they head to the polls, he said. “In a democracy, I think citi- zens should choose their repre- sentatives. With mixed member proportional, politicians will choose,” he said. “I’m pleased we, as a province, are having a good kick at the tires. “The onus is on the Yes side. They have to prove their system is better,” Mr. Angolano stated. “If we’re going to make chang- es to a democratic system, we have got to get it right.” It’s not enough, he said, to have parties say “‘trust us. We’ll make these tweaks later’.” What isn’t known is how names would be selected for each party’s list, he said. One method that might be used is a “zipper list,” he noted, with a party picking one man, then a woman and alternating back and forth. Michael Robertson of Fair Vote also supported MMP, say- ing, “It’s my strong belief this puts more power to the people. Every vote will be counting.” Most questions dealt with the lists, including how they will be compiled. “Political parties will publish the list and they are transpar- ent,” Ms. German said. “Parties will publish the list and they will be open to scrutiny. “These 39 people won’t rep- resent any specific people,” said Ajax resident Bill Parish. “The person I elect or help to elect speaks for us.” Ray Bhatt said the item is a “rush job. The public doesn’t know enough about it.” He asked what guarantees there are that having the new system would mean more women or visible minorities in the legislature. “There’s no guarantees at all,” Ms. German said, but added, “The experience in other juris- dictions” is more women and minorities get into the legisla- ture. said. “Give what you would eat.” In September, nearly 200 families used the food bank, which fed almost 550 people. Ms. Cook explained more than 2,200 families use the food bank each year and it feeds more than 7,000 people. The food bank spends $500 each week on groceries, buying fresh food, such as eggs, but has to pay retail price like everybody else, and roughly $2,000 in rent per month at Parkway Storage. “Our client base is building and we need more food,” Ms. Cook said. The food drive is non-denominational and any family can benefit from it by providing gov- ernment papers (such as Social Assistance), income and something to prove that every family member lives at the same address. They then receive a card which allows them to pick up their food boxes twice a month. The size of the basket depends on the amount and ages of family members.

More on the Mixed Member Proportional voting system. • The system currently used is called First Past the Post. • With MMP, a voter would be given two ballots. With one, they’d vote for a local MPP, while with the other, they’d vote for a political party. The race for the MPP would be won by the person with the most votes. • The votes for each political party would then be used to deter- mine the number of ‘list members’ they would have in the legisla- ture. • Prior to an election, each party would put forward a list of names. Based on the percentage of votes a party receives, it would get that percentage of list members. To have a list member, a party must receive more than three per cent of the vote. • In the current election, there are 107 ridings. Under MMP, there would be 129 seats -- 90 ridings and 39 list members. The party with the most local MPPs and list members would form the gov- ernment. • Rhonda Breadner of Elections Ontario says when people vote in the current election, they’ll be given two ballots. One is to select an MPP while the other is the referendum ballot. People don’t have to vote in the referendum to cast a ballot for a candidate. Also, they don’t have to vote for a candidate if all they want to do is vote in the referendum. Close to 200 families used the food bank in September ✦ Close from page A1 Proponent says new system would allow more women and visible minorities to be elected ✦ Proponent from page A1 Braney, referring to the success he wit- nessed as a Scarborough trustee when it was implemented in some schools there during the mid 1990s. Proponents for school uniforms say it reduces crime, relieves parents of having to buy designer clothes for their students because of peer pressure, re- duces gang colours, and creates an en- vironment where students can better focus on academic achievement. “You identify trespassers easily, there’s less violence,” he added. In an interview following the meet- ing, he said things he’s heard in the community and through colleagues suggest that some areas could benefit from uniforms. Parents are also saying it’s something they want, especially since safety is a huge factor. As much support as Trustee Braney’s proposal raises, there’s probably a lot of people on the other side of the argu- ment, said Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper. She asked how they would decide if a school gets them - would the vote be 50 per cent of its popula- tion plus one? She also asked what will happen to families in socio-economic situations who tend to switch schools often, and to students who support wearing their own clothing and ex- pressing their individuality. Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford noted Ajax’s J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate probably came closest in the school board to receiving uniforms when it first opened. Although she couldn’t remember how much of the school’s population voted in support, the ma- jority wanted it and they were ready to go with uniforms picked out and everything. “The director at the time, it wasn’t Craig (Burch), was absolutely terrified of the five per cent or 10 per cent who said no,” said Trustee Crawford. “I, for one, would be very interested in the process you took in the neigh- bouring board,” said Trustee Crawford to Trustee Braney, especially if they can convert existing schools into going to uniforms. Trustee Braney said he doesn’t have schools picked out, but thinks if they’re successful with some, other schools will come on board. Mr. Burch, director of education, said he’ll bring back a report in November on what policy the board currently has in place and probably a recommenda- tion to form a committee of trustees and school council representatives to investigate if they want to change what currently exists. Daughter of Graf Spee captain to attend event AJAX — A street dedication cer- emony is being held this Saturday to honour Captain Hans Langsdorff who led the German pocket battleship Graf Spee in the Battle of the River Plate in September of 1939. Facing his ship were the Allied vessels the Ajax, Achil- les and Exeter. The Allied ships prevailed in the battle, the first naval engagement of the Second World War, forcing Graf Spee into Montevideo for repairs. Ger- man leader Adolph Hitler ordered Capt. Langsdorff to scuttle his ship if he could not fight his way out to open water, as a number of allied ships had converged on the area. Capt. Langs- dorff skuttled the ship and committed suicide. Cherry Sevigny, Mayor Steve Parish’s executive assistant, says Capt. Langs- dorff’s daughter, Inge Nedden, will be attending the ceremony. It’s being held on Oct. 6, starting at noon. Following the dedication, there will be a reception at the Ajax Royal Cana- dian Legion branch, 111 Hunt St. Residents of Langsdorff Drive have been invited to the ceremony. Anyone else interested is also welcome to at- tend. Langsdorff Drive is one block south of Bayly Street, running west off Pickering Beach Road. Ms. Sevigny says the Battle of the River Plate Veterans Association “wholeheartedly approved” naming the street after Capt. Langsdorff. Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown said Capt. Langsdorff was a “man of honour.” Ms. Sevigny noted he sank nine merchant ships at the start of the war, but in each case, he had the crews re- moved before sinking them. When contacted, the Ajax Legion president didn’t want to comment on naming a street after Capt. Langsdorff.

Trustees will discuss uniforms in November ✦ Trustees from page A1 Special women sought Candidates weigh in on energy issues By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Ontario Power Gen- eration is in the middle of a business case, trying to determine if refurbish- ing reactors at the Pickering nuclear station makes sense. At the same time, the Province is looking at building new reactors, at either the Darlington station in Clar- ington or next to the Bruce station near Kincardine. Both projects, if approved, would be huge, with the bills running into the billions. The caveat is ‘if approved’. Environmental assessments are re- quired for both projects and those take time. A lot of time. An EA is part of the business case for the Pickering refurbishment. Work on it began last year and should be completed by the end of this year. It’s then sent off to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for consideration. The CNSC will announce a decision sometime next year. The time it takes to get that approval should be “fast-tracked,” according to Progressive Conservative leader John Tory. Mr. Tory said last week the approval process takes “too long” and leaves the province vulnerable to not having enough power. “The people of the province need to know that when they get home at the end of a long day and turn on the lights that these lights will come on,” Mr. Tory said in a published report. “I think there’s a way we can have absolute and complete consultation and review of these projects and get it done faster if the will is there.” Kevin Ashe, the PC candidate in Ajax-Pickering Riding, “absolutely” supports Mr. Tory’s position. “I think to have a consistent power supply it’s important to Ontario’s fu- ture. It’s important to the economy of Durham Region and across the prov- ince,” Mr. Ashe says. Bringing a nuclear station on-line “does take a long time. I’ll only sup- port if it’s done in a safe fashion,” he adds. The PCs and the Liberals both sup- port using nuclear power. Liberal hopeful Joe Dickson says of fast tracking, “I don’t think you can fast track nuclear without safety. It’s critical. “It’s a great power today,” he says, noting it does take a long time to get a permit to build a new station. “Nuclear absolutely is the most log- ical power source in the market today. It’s safe and economical,” he states. Cecile Willert of the Green Party says her party wouldn’t support fast tracking approvals of nuclear sta- tions. Nuclear power, she notes, is “very expensive. It’s more expensive than economically justified for the life- time of nuclear plants. “We see this every time we see our hydro bills and we see the debt reduc- tion charge for nuclear plants,” she adds. New Democratic Party candidate Bala Thavarajasoorier says the party doesn’t support the building of more nuclear generating stations and “per- sonally, I don’t support nuclear.” New building would be “stopped as soon as possible.” He adds, however, “Can you say any party comes to power, keeps its promises. The Liberals promised so much and they couldn’t do it. Once in power, they never keep it. Maybe they don’t do it for financial reasons.” The NDP and the Greens are also strongly opposed to the continued use of coal-fired generation. Coal isn’t a consideration, Ms. Wil- lert notes. “Coal contributes to climate change and global warming. We don’t want to see more coal,” she says. “And, there’s all sorts of issues with coal mining. “We strongly support the reduc- tion of electrical use,” noting a lot can be done “so our demand goes down. That’s what we believe. It’s not hard to make substantial reductions,” she states. Other options include “wind, solar and geo-thermal. We’re only tapping these,” says Ms. Willert. “With the cold climate we have in Canada, it makes a lot of economic sense of exploring geo-thermal for purposes of heating,” she states. “There’s an initial cost. “Like many things, there are initial investments. It would pay for itself fairly quickly.” Mr. Ashe agrees with looking at “re- newables and green” power. He also points to the Liberal’s broken promise on shutting down coal-fired stations by 2007. Not closing the coal plants is a “bro- ken promise not once, not twice but three times,” Mr. Ashe states. The Tories support closing coal- fired plants, “but we also support hav- ing them until we have alternatives. We have to use them,” Mr. Ashe states, adding that until coal plants can be closed, scrubbers should be installed. In the meantime, more nuclear is “one of a couple of options,” Mr. Ashe states. “It doesn’t have to be a Candu. We’d make a decision sooner rather than later. We won’t dither. We’re not pre- disposed to any technology, but we have to make a decision. If it’s Candu or not doesn’t make a difference to me,” he adds. Mr. Dickson dismisses the idea of putting scrubbers on coal plants. “It’s parallel to an individual smoking a plain cigarette or a cigarette with a filter.” Mr. McGuinty had no choice to move away from closing coal-fired plants by 2007. “Once he took over the leadership of the province, he uncovered a lot of things,” says Mr. Dickson. “There was the $5.6 billion deficit that had virtu- ally bankrupted the province. “We had to rethink the promise of a new date, 2014.” Mr. Dickson says the “NDP says they agree with the Liberals. As soon as it’s humanly possible, do it. “We want to rid ourselves of the coal plants and we want to ensure we have sufficient capacity for our citi- zens.” 1163 Kingston Road in Pickering 905-839-5425 inviinvites you totes you to Meet the CandidatesMeet the Candidates Friday, October 5thFriday, October 5th 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm5:30 pm to 7:30 pm Come and chat with your localCome and chat with your local CanCandidates for Ajax/Pickering anddidates for Ajax/Pickering and Pickering/Scarborough East HOMEBURGERS™ & ICE CREAM Enjoy some FREE ICE CREAM served by the candidates INCOME TAX COURSE CURRICULUM – During the 12-week course, students study the basics of income tax preparation including current laws, theory and application.

Sudoku durhamregion.comNOW ONLINE 48 1 7 8 6 7 3 576 1 86 9 5 6 7 687 3 91 4 19 24 Check it out at By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The consultants who originally recommended incineration as the preferred choice for Durham Region’s residual waste and completed the human health risk assessment are members of a lobby group registered with the Province, but there is no con- flict of interest, say representatives of both the consultants and the Region. Both Genivar (formerly MacViro) and Jacques Whitford are listed as members of the Canadian Energy From Waste Coalition, a registered lobby group with a hired lobbyist on the Province’s regis- try. The group was registered in July. But the consultants say it’s not un- usual to be part of such groups. For ex- ample, Genivar is part of the Recycling Council, the Association of Municipal Recycling Coordinators and the Com- posting Council, said Dave Merriman of Genivar. “As one of the leading firms in the industry, we belong to a whole raft of different organizations,” he said. In April of 2006, MacViro recom- mended thermal treatment as the best approach for dealing with waste left over after diversion has been maxi- mized. It’s the same for Jacques Whitford, which carried out the generic risk as- sessment for the facility, said spokes- man Jim McKay, noting his company, too, is a member of a number of such groups. Being a member of the coali- tion “allows us access to information that might not be easily accessible pub- licly,” he said. It’s more a matter of gain- ing information than lobbying anyone about energy-from-waste, he said. “I can understand how people may be able to draw the perception (that there’s a conflict) ... but I don’t believe the perception is founded,” said Mr. McKay. “We see it as quite a positive thing ...and if we saw it as a conflict or saw it as something that would bias us, we would not be part of it.” But members of the public still have some concerns. “As you know, from the beginning, various alternatives to (thermal treat- ment) were hardly considered,” said Barry Bracken, a vocal opponent to incineration during a recent Regional council meeting. “Rather, the focus has been on incineration as the preferred solution. To this end, the Region re- tained the firms Genivar and Jacques Whitford as the consultants. Did you know that both these firms are mem- bers of the Canadian Energy From Waste Coalition?” he said, noting the Canadian Plastics Association is also a member of that group. “The point is that the consultants who are guiding the Region in the (En- vironmental Assessment) process have a vested interest in the incineration process,” he said. His sentiments were echoed by Courtice resident Kerry Meydam, who runs the Durham Environmental Watch website. “They are proponents of energy from waste and to hire them -- we all pretty much feel they were hired to promote the Region’s vision for thermal treat- ment,” she said. “A lot of people feel they were hired to promote the Region’s vision and that is a problem. “It makes you kind of wonder.” John Foden, the lobbyist hired by the coalition, said the two consulting companies have been “paragons of ob- jectivity. “They’re interested in getting as much information as they can, know- ing everything that’s going on in the debate, so they can provide balanced information to their clients,” said Mr. Foden, noting the coalition is “focussed on a preference for an integrated waste solution”, with diversion firmly in place first. “We’re very conscious of (Jacques Whitford’s and Genivar’s) commitment to studies they’ve been hired to do, and nothing we would do would colour that in any way,” said Mr. Foden. It’s not a conflict, contends Cliff Cur- tis, Durham’s commissioner of works. “There are a number of national or- ganizations that people belong to. But it is basically an industry group that has been formed. So they are a member of the industry group because they do consult in the energy from waste field,” said Mr. Curtis. “That group had then gone and allegedly retained a lobbyist to go and talk to whoever, the politi- cians. That doesn’t mean that Genivar or Jacques Whitford are actually partici- pating in the process. “They are just a member of the in- dustry group so they can keep in touch with what is going on in the energy from waste field and I don’t see anything par- ticularly sinister about that.” -- with files by Erin Hatfield LTD.

No conflict on incinerator: Region ‘I can understand how people may be able to draw the percep- tion (that there’s a conflict)...but I don’t believe the perception is founded.’ JIM MCKAY You’ll look better for a king’s ransom Y ears ago, a friend of mine who was doing very well financially, blurted excit- edly that he had engaged the services of a clothier. I wasn’t doing nearly so well financially, and wasn’t even sure what a clothier was. I thought it might be something vaguely sexual and so dropped the con- versation immediately. I have since been fortunate enough to go through the clothier experi- ence just three times; once be- fore my wedding, once when I was handed an obscene amount of money to buy my own ward- robe for a TV show, and once, in the last year when I simply lost my mind. In a nutshell, a clothier is someone who knows you are a sartorially challenged idiot with no sense of style and, for a fee that rivals the GNP of a small South American country, hap- pily avails you of his. Walking into a clothier is like stepping into a high-priced fabric brothel. Soft, manicured hands swiftly guide you to a place of satin pillows and leather chairs. Cigars and coffee are proffered, fingers are snapped, hands are clapped and, one by one, bolts of rare cloth and all manner of breath-taking garments are pa- raded past for your enjoyment. Succulent figs are popped into your mouth. An Armani-clad eunuch silently refills your cap- puccino, then slinks out of sight behind a rack of blazers. These men are like magicians. Dark magicians who smell really good. No words need be spoken, no choices made. They know exactly what you want, even if you don’t. Using an intoxicating blend of flattery, fawning and exquisitely timed chuckling they weave a spell so thoroughly and enjoyably narcotic that soon enough, you, like they, see noth- ing at all askance in a pair of $150 gotchies. Eyes glazed, you can only smile and nod as a crack team of tailors move, ninja-like, around your body. Chalk dust flies like cocaine at a Hollywood house- warming, tape measures cut through the air with the grace of a maestro’s baton and in less time than it takes to turn your head and cough; an inseam is discreetly measured. More cappuccino, more figs, more laughter. Everything you say today is pure genius. You’re the wittiest man alive, and at ap- proximately $50 bucks a laugh, you ought to be. Next, come shirts and ties. Secret drawers and panels are opened revealing the private stock. The stuff they don’t show to just any old fool. No, no my friend, only an imbecile with your discerning tastes can ap- preciate a tie that costs more than your last car payment. Suddenly, a ghastly faux pas. A bumbling novice’s error has left a price tag briefly but care- lessly in view. You shudder as a momentary spasm of sanity darkens the skies of your pres- ent nirvana. Luckily you’re deal- ing with professionals. In a flash they recognize your hesitancy and are on it like a button down collar. Out of nowhere, “Yes-Men,” professional sycophants ap- pear and skillfully administer the “Hind-lick” maneuver until your pulse returns to normal. There is one final moment of embarrassment as you lock up in spastic terror while signing for it all, but once again, gentle manicured hands help you press pen to paper. When you come to, you are standing in your kitchen holding a garment bag and looking very much like Jack holding a sack of worthless beans. And your wife wants to know what you did with the cow.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Reader urges a yes vote on MMP To the editor: Come election day on Oct. 10, voters have a chance to make history as they will be given a very rare opportunity to vote in a binding referendum on how MPPs are elected. There have been only five referenda in On- tario’s history – the last being in 1924 – all of which were related to the sale and/or consumption of alcohol. Not only is this an historic vote, but this referendum is also an important develop- ment for women and racial- ized groups. The proposed voting system, Mixed Member Proportional (MMP), typically results in greater representa- tion for women and marginal- ized groups in the legislature. New Zealand is a case in point. Having recently moved to an MMP system, the percentage of women and Maori in the New Zealand parliament increased from 21 per cent in 1993 (the same percentage of women MPPs at Queen’s Park) to 32 per cent today. If there is one election that you make the effort to vote, it is this one! A YES victory on the referendum promises to bring about fundamental political change and a legislature that better reflects our diverse soci- ety. Cara MacDonald Pickering Secretary-Treasurer, Durham Chapter of Fair Vote Canada Faith-based school funding a human- rights violation To the editor: Let’s be clear, public funding for faith-based school systems is a human rights violation. In November 1999, the United Nations Human Rights Commit- tee found Canada in violation of the equality provisions of that covenant by virtue of Ontario’s discriminatory school system (see Waldman v. Canada). That discrimination remains without remedy to this day, a situation that in November 2005 led the same committee to censure Canada again for fail- ing to “adopt steps in order to eliminate discrimination on the basis of religion in the funding of schools in Ontario.” The same day, an Iranian human rights envoy brushed off a Canadian-sponsored UN resolution concerning human rights violations in Iran by won- dering: “Being charged itself with human rights violations, is Ottawa competent enough to initiate a human rights resolu- tion in the UN against another country?” The incident poignantly un- derscored the importance of living up to our human rights obligations.

Mr. Long should have paid better attention to the excep- tional representation provided by Wayne Arthurs at Queen’s Park. MPP Arthurs has been wide awake, active and capably representing all of his constitu- ents since defeating Janet Ecker in the 2003 election. Examples of just a few of the issues Mr. Arthurs has delivered on for his constituents are: ap- proval for the funding of the Ajax-Pickering hospital redevel- opment; investment in the Dur- ham Strategic Energy Alliance: provincial government invest- ment in the Frenchman’s Bay water revitalization program: and, deployment of a rapid re- sponse team to tackle guns and gang violence in Durham. Wayne Arthurs and the Lib- eral party are clearly a “better way” than going back to the dark days of Mike Harris. Eric M.

EDITORIAL CLICK AND SAY IN THE COMMUNITY /4& PCs deserve your vote on Oct. 10 Dalton McGuinty made much of his very public ceremony and pledge to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation that he would not raise our taxes if elected. As we all know now, Mr. McGuinty promptly broke that promise only a few months after he was elected when he hit Ontarians with a huge, highly regressive Ontario Health Premium which hit all tax- payers with charges of $300 to $900 per year. The high end of that premium kicked in at a relatively modest annual income and did not rise proportionately to hit higher income earners. Mr. McGuinty also vowed to close the greenhouse-gas producing coal-fired Nanticoke power plants by 2007. He has twice extended that deadline and now says he will close them by 2014. Instead of act- ing very quickly on plans to refurbish and build new nuclear plants, the Liberal government has languished in spite of our dire energy situation. Mr. McGuinty also promised to fully fund care for autistic children, to fix the public education funding formula and a host of other since broken promises. It’s clearly time for a change. There is really only one serious option, other than the Liberals, for Ontarians and that’s the Progressive Con- servative Party led by John Tory. While NDP leader Howard Hampton has struggled to keep his caucus above official party status and the Greens under Frank de Jong look like long shots to elect a single member, Mr. Tory has worked hard to rebuild his party after it was tossed into opposition status four years ago. New to the provincial scene after a run for mayor of Toronto in 2003, Mr. Tory has proved a quick study. He has made a number of trips to Durham Region and has shown a deep interest in issues our way whether it be the badly needed extension of Hwy. 407 past Brock Road in Pickering, the need for a new hospital in north Whitby, or the requirement that the underfunding of the 905 region be fixed. He has a plan in his platform to fix these problems. He also has plans to cap property tax assessments which have been out of control for several years, boost health care funding beyond cur- rent spending and return the health care premium to the pockets of taxpayers. Mr. Tory can also look to local MPPs John O’Toole (Durham), Christine Elliott (Whitby-Oshawa), Jerry Ouellette (Oshawa) and Lau- rie Scott (Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock) to provide insight into the concerns of our region. Durham has the opportunity to increase that number by electing Kevin Ashe (Ajax-Pickering) and Diana Hall (Pickering-Scarborough East), providing Durham with a clean sweep and a prominent spot in Mr. Tory’s caucus as well as potential cabinet posts. Durham voters have a chance to help play a major role and to get Ontario moving in the right direction after Oct. 10. They can best do that by voting Progressive Conservative.

Panthers suffer late-period letdown in Vaughan Come-from-behind victory over Durham Fury on Friday By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Pickering Pan- thers deserved a better fate than it was dealt on the road in Vaughan on Monday night. Playing the Vipers for the first time since upending them in Game 7 in the playoffs last year, the short-staffed Panthers played Vaughan even-steven through most of two periods in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action at the Al Palladini Com- munity Centre. A late goal by Viper Tom Coukos, however, broke up a 4-4 tie, and proved to be a backbreaker for the Panthers. Vaughan scored two more in the final frame to secure a 7-4 victory over the Panthers. Panthers’ head coach Mark Joslin says Coukos’s goal was the definite turning point in the contest. Up to that point, the Pickering juniors were very much in contention to skate off with a road win. “We played smart hockey against a very well coached Vaughan team and we stuck to the game plan for two peri- ods. I thought it was our game to steal on the road, but it didn’t work out. The ef- fort was there, just a couple of bad bounces here and there,” says Joslin. Both starting goaltenders didn’t make it to the end of 60 min- utes, with Vipers’ starter Matthew Pombo lifted in the first period and Panthers’ Connor Samp- son getting the hook after two periods, with rookie netmind- er Ben Calma coming on in the third. In Pickering Friday night against the Durham Fury, the Panthers needed a minor miracle to get back in the game and eventually score a 5-4 shootout victory. With just under two minutes to go in the third period and Pickering trail- ing 4-2, the Panthers called a timeout after the Fury was called on a late penalty. Joslin says in the timeout, he im- plored his players to dump the puck into the Durham zone quickly and go to the net. The play worked to a tee. With goaltender Connor Sampson on the bench for an extra attacker and a 6-on-4 man advantage, the Pan- thers capitalized first on a power-play marker by second-year forward Bren- dan Hann with 1:22 remaining. Then, Greg Payne tied the game with 34 seconds left to send it into overtime. After the five-minute extra frame failed to yield a goal, the game went to a shootout, the first of the regular season for Pickering. In the shootout, the Panthers needed the final shot on goal by Greg Payne to complete the improbable comeback. For Joslin, the come-from-behind victory was a special one in the course Young kart racer making his mark Eight-year-old keeps up with the older kids PICKERING — Since getting behind the wheel of a kart a year ago, Michael Currie has felt increasingly at home on the track. The eight-year-old Pickering kart driver, in only his second season of com- petitive racing, has gone farther than even he thought possible this year while driving at Goodwood Kartways in the rookie/youth division, which features drivers from eight to 12 years old. Even though he’s at the young end of the age range in the category, Michael’s been more than competitive. In eight races thus far in the 2007 season, he’s attained five podium finishes. Currently, he’s in third place in the points standings and is on pace to qualify for the semi- finals, although his last couple of races will tell the tale. An ‘A’ student at Maple Ridge Public School, Michael notes he’s most proud of giving older competitors a run for their money on the Goodwood track. “There are older kids and they’ve been doing it longer than I have and I’m still ahead of them. I’m pretty happy because I’ve beaten them so far,” he says. Although other drivers are too far ahead of him in the points standing to make a serious charge for the rookie/ youth division championship this year, he believes he could vie for the title next season. “I don’t think I can win this year be- cause I have 54 points and some other kids have 70 but, next year, I hope to get first or second because some of the older kids may move up to another category. They’re really fast kids,” explains Mi- chael. Speaking of driving fast, Michael ex- plains his kart, which he rents for the season, can reach speeds of 35 to 40 km/ hour. Speed, he says, is what he enjoys ✦ See Karting, Page B2 Brendan Hann Greg Payne Panthers’ Postscript The Panthers missed front-line for- ward Greg Riggs (illness) for Monday’s game in Vaughan...In addition to their on-ice duties, Panthers’ players also had plenty of off-ice fun on the week- end. The team participated in its an- nual charity car wash on Saturday at the Pickering Boston Pizza outlet. A new wrinkle this year was a friendly competition to raise funds for cancer research with cross-town rivals, the Ajax Attack, which also held a car wash on the same day at the Ajax Boston Pizza location. That night, the Panthers also took part in a scenic Toronto harbour cruise. “It was a great weekend for the guys,” says head coach Mark Joslin... ✦ See Panthers, Page B2 [ Marathon ] Ajax runner makes it to Boston AJAX — Not only did Ajax long- distance runner Pauline Haste finish her first-ever marathon, she achieved her ultimate goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon in April. Haste com- pleted the full 42.2-kilometre marathon at the ScotiaBank Waterfront Mara- thon on Sunday, finishing with a time of 3.58.57.4. The time was well inside the official Boston qualifying time of four hours and five minutes for her age group. The double-barrelled success in Toronto came on Haste’s 54th birthday. Haste has been running for the past five years, although being diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2003. [ Cross-country ] Heron Twins lead way for Notre Dame AJAX — The Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars x-country team’s junior boys’ runners performed exceptionally well at the Mustang Invi- tational meet in Markham last week- end. Hosted at the Milne Dam Conser- vation Area, the meet attracted ath- letes from 23 GTA high schools. Twins Joseph and Daniel ‘Spitty’ Heron led the Notre Dame contingent, finishing fifth and sixth, respectively, in the junior category out of 217 competi- tors. Corbin Johnston finished 26th, Andrew Hacker 37th and Sean Roche- fort 71st. All Notre Dame cross-country athletes are training hard in advance of the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) Cross-Country Championships at Pickering’s Beverly Morgan Park on Oct. 25.

[ Soccer ] Notre Dame/DO’C junior tourney Thursday AJAX — The Notre Dame/DO’C Junior Boys’ Invitational Classic Soc- cer Tournament goes at the Ajax Com- munity Centre this Thursday, Oct. 4. The event features Durham Re- gion teams playing in four divisions during the one-day tournament. In the ‘A’ Division are the Holy Trinity Titans from Courtice, Sinclair Secondary School Celtics of Whitby, host Notre Dame Catholic Secondary Cougars and St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School Monarchs of Pickering. Competing in the ‘B’ Division are St. Jean de Brebeuf of Toronto, Father Leo J. Austin Wildcats of Whitby, and Pickering High School Trojans 1 and 2 teams. Teams in the ‘C’ Division are McLaughlin Trojans, Donevan Blue Devils and the O’Neill Redbirds of Os- hawa. One team may be added in the division prior to the tournament. In the ‘D’ Division are the Mon- signor Paul Dwyer Saints of Oshawa, the Anderson Collegiate Raiders of Whitby, J. Clarke Richardson Colle- giate Storm of Ajax and the host Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor Chargers. The final game’s at 3:30 p.m. Pauline Haste Sports briefs OCTOBER 3, 2007 Attack takes the buzz out of Beehives AJAX — For the Ajax Attack, play- ing at a .500 clip in the early stages of the regular season is a hopeful sign of things to come. The Attack, which has endured more downs than ups in the recent past, has so far beaten the teams it’s supposed to beat in the opening weeks of the 2007-08 OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League campaign (see Durham Fury) and even snuck up on some squads it perhaps wasn’t sup- posed to defeat (see Vaughan Vipers, Toronto Junior Canadians). And, on Sunday, the Ajacians clawed back to the .500 plateau with a solid 6-4 victory over the newest denizens of the South Conference, the Dixie Beehives of Toronto -- another team the Attack should beat on any given night. The Attack will attempt to land on the plus side of .500 with a victory over the North York Rangers at the Herb Carnegie Arena in Toronto to- night (Wednesday) at 7:30 p.m. According to Attack head coach John Winder, achieving a 4-4 record in the early going is a small victory for a young roster that’s seemingly on the upswing this season after several previous sub-par campaigns. “If we can maintain .500 hockey and above, we’ll have a successful season,” notes Winder. Sunday’s victory also came without three key performers in the lineup in Robert Sweeney, Chris Gelencser and Ryan Dawe, who didn’t dress due to illness. The brothers Ramsay, however, more than picked up the slack, sharing in three of the Attack’s six goals, with Kyle netting two, including a short- handed marker, and Jordan chipping in with a power-play goal. The Attack play back-to-back home games at the Ajax Community Cen- tre this weekend. The bad news is it plays two of the hotter teams in the South Conference in the Toronto Ju- nior Canadians on Saturday and the St. Michael’s Buzzers on Sunday.

Aidan Smith, 6, a Grade 1 student at St. Monica Catholic School in Pickering, captured the points race in his Novice 6 division, winning all four of his races at Track 2000 in Milton, which is Smith’s home track. To capture the provincial championship for his age group, Smith raced 32 times at various tracks throughout Ontario, fin- ishing in first or second place in most of them. This was Smith’s first season in the provincial BMX biking se- ries, which started in the spring.

The Panthers and Fury squared off in Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night. The Panthers won 5-4 in a shootout. of a long season. “To win it in a shootout was amaz- ing,” says Joslin. “It was an incredible team-building win.” Joslin singled out Hann and Payne for particular praise, noting each has earned more ice time with their strong play of late. “They’re getting more ice time and they’re certainly making the most of it,” says Joslin of the two forwards. The Panthers are back in action on Friday night in Toronto against the St. Michael’s Buzzers.

His mother, Maria, says at first she was concerned about her young son’s safety on the track, but the precautions taken by the track’s staff have alleviated most of her fears. “Yes, I was nervous at first, but I got to see how it runs and the group who runs it. They’re good about watching the kids and following the rules. They talk to them about being safe,” she says. “It does get quite exciting to watch.” Most of all, each driver is equipped with a full set of safety gear, including a fire retardant suit, gloves, neck brace and a helmet. Michael was introduced to the sport by his father, John, as the two were big race car fans, especially the ultra-popu- lar NASCAR series in the U.S. Without hesitation, Michael says Tony Stewart is his favourite driver. Upon trying out a kart at age 7, he was instantly hooked. “When I tried it, I kind of liked it. I started to get better, so I kept going,” says Michael.

Toronto show, ‘Connections’, features Shelley Beach’s most recent works DURHAM — Shelley Beach is hav- ing a solo painting exhibition, titled Connections, to showcase her new- est work. Beach is an award-winning art- ist and a popular art instructor in Durham. Her work is hung in many private corporations, including those of Veridian Corp. and former Lieu- tenant Governor Hilary Weston. The work at the exhibition has also been accepted into juried competitions, including an award from the Osha- wa Art Association in 2004 at the McLaughlin Gallery. The exhibition is at The Workshop Gallery, 1018 Coxwell Ave. (just south of O’Connor Drive), in Toronto from Oct. 11 to 24. The artist will be pres- ent for the opening reception on Oct. 11 from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. and on Oct. 14 from 1 to 3 p.m. Fun with words event also in aid of United Way of Ajax- Pickering-Uxbridge By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The power of words -- and the fun of them, too -- are what a new fundraiser is all about. On Oct. 12, the Literacy Coun- cil of Durham Region and Durham Folklore Society are presenting Once Upon a Story, an evening of tradi- tional storytelling and music to raise funds for LCDR and the United Way of Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge. The evening brings together a non- profit organization that helps func- tionally illiterate adults and a society where members specialize in the use of words for entertainment and en- lightenment. “It is a really nice match,” said Brad Cook, LCDR executive director. “It’s about literacy in all of its manifesta- tions. It shows the power of words for people.” The storytellers and musicians tak- ing part are George Blake, of Oshawa, Lucy Brennan, of Whitby, Dianne Chandler, of Port Perry, Heather Whaley, of Whitby, Doris Cherkas, of Oshawa, Enid DeCoe of Courtice, with special guest musician Anne Lane, of Port Perry. It will be an evening of Fancy- Foot Feats and Fallacies, with stories about “notably skilled and creative characters who dare to deal with de- ception, unimaginable undertakings and misleading falsehoods in life,” said Chandler, the artistic director. “This particular concert evolved from a set which we were invited to perform at the international Sto- rytellers Festival of Toronto ... with some modifications and additions. We had such fun that we decided we would like to repeat some of that performance,” she said. Cook said the emphasis for the evening is on the fun. “We can have fun and we can celebrate literacy and cel- ebrate this festival of people enjoying words.” Formed in 1980, LCDR helps about 100 functionally-literate adults a year, helping them improve their skills and their lives. About one in five adults in Durham needs help with reading and writing. People might not be able to write a list of duties at work or use e-mail to communicate with others, he said. But they might be able to write a gro- cery list at home, Cook said. Their difficulties with literacy can impact their lives in terms of employ- ment, health and family, he said. Trained volunteers work with them, often one-to-one, to help them improve their reading, writing and math skills. LCDR is always looking for more volunteers and for donations. If you can help out, contact Cook at 905-434- 5441. You can also help out by attending Once Upon A Story at the Arts Resource Centre, 45 Queen St. (at King Street), Oshawa, at 7:30 p.m. Refreshments will be provided.

Guitar Player Magazine has selected him from the thousands of musicians in Canada, the United States and abroad for an Oct. 12 competition to pick the world’s Guitar Hero. Jamie Robinson of Pickering, who won the 2007 North American Guitar Competition, is also contesting the title. Coronado was selected as one of the top 10 in 2005, the first year of the event, held in the States. He’ll be performing at the Great Ameri- can Music Hall in San Francisco, before judges who will determine the top guitar player. “To be selected once is great but twice? I feel extremely honoured,” Coronado said. He moved to Durham from his native Colom- bia close to four years ago and has been busy building his music career here. “Having a chance to play in San Francisco’s legendary Great American Music in front of a guitar legends and the entire world is a dream come true.” In Colombia, he released several albums, had a number one radio hit and played to large audiences. He recently released his first solo album, Renewal, a mixture of Latin rhythms and in- strumental rock in a genre he calls Latin Shred. He won a Durham Region Music Society award last year for the album. The judges at the Oct. 12 event include Joe Satriani, The Cars’ Elliot Easton, Toto lead guitarist Steve Lukather, Greg Howe and Mike Varney, owner of Shrapnel Records. You can listen to selections from Renewal and find out more about Coronado at www. juancoronado.com. The competition will be streamed live on www.GuitarPlayer.com.

Thingamaboob key to women’s breast health This October, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, women are encouraged to keep their breast health top of mind with a fashionable and practical accessory, the Canadian Cancer Society’s Thingamaboob, designed to raise awareness around the importance of screening in the early detection of breast cancer. The Thingamaboob is made of pink beads that show women the different lump sizes that can be detected through a variety of breast-screening methods. The beads illustrate the following: • The smallest beads represent the average size lump found by getting regular mammograms. • The third largest bead shows women the average size lump found by their fi rst mammogram. • The second largest bead shows the average size lump found by a clinical breast examination by a healthcare professional. • The largest bead shows the average size lump found by women checking their own breasts. The Thingamaboob can be used as an ornamental keychain or purse charm, so that it becomes a daily reminder for women to follow breast cancer screening guidelines for their age group. Each purchase of the Canadian Cancer Society Thingamaboob helps fund vital cancer research and cancer-related support programs. The Thingamaboob can be purchased for $5 at the Canadian Cancer Society Durham Region unit, by calling 1 800 668-7380. For more information, visit www.cancer.ca/thingamaboob.

Laurelee Stock’s Grade 5 class will be giving us the weather details every Friday throughout the month of October AJAX — Don’t like the rainy weather forecast you’ve heard from your local meteorologist? Maybe you think a 10- year-old can do a better job. Log on Friday, Oct. 5, to watch Grade 5 students from Bolton C. Falby P.S. in Ajax give you the weather details for the upcoming weekend. A new webcast will be uploaded to www.mediamash.ca every Friday after- noon. Let the students fill you in on chosen topics like, what’s P.O.P.? Or can we get a Hurricane here in Durham Region? Their answers may surprise you. In total, nine lucky Grade 5 and 6 classes in schools throughout Durham will be presenting weekly weathercasts during the school year in conjunction with Metroland Durham Region Media Group and 680 News. Each school gets to produce the web- casts for one month. Metroland’s videographer, Stefanie Swinson, and meteorologist, Jill Taylor of 680 News, will visit the chosen classes. Each webcast will include the weekend weather forecast and one other news items, such as a “streeter” in which a Ju- nior Webcaster will ask classmates about a given topic, a report on weather pat- terns for the coming month or a news report on an environmental initiative in the school. And one lucky student from each school will get the chance to visit 680 News, taking a tour with Ms. Taylor. The winning classes are: Laurelee Stock’s Grade 5 class, Bolton C. Falby Public School, Ajax Colleen (Mother Nature) Kinahan’s Grade 5/6 class, St. Theresa Catholic School, Whitby Michelle Nelson’s class at Walter E. Har- ris Public School, Oshawa Shannon Johnstone’s Grade 5 class at Central Public School, Bowmanville, with Leisa Rook, teacher/librarian Carolyn Bartlett’s Grade 6 class at St. Isaac Joques Catholic School, Pickering Brent Wragg’s Grade 5 class at Meadow- crest Public School, Brooklin Tracy Robertson’s Grade 5 class at Father Joseph Venini Catholic School, Oshawa Ellen Campbell’s Grade 5/6 class at Quaker Village Public School, Uxbridge Paula Roberts’s Grade 6 class at Vaughan Willard Public School, Pickering.
