The provincial health minister was in Ajax Thursday for the ground- breaking on the expansion and renovation at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. It was the third such event Mr. Smither- man has taken part in in the past week. The ceremony attracted about 200 people, including politi- cians from all levels of government, hospital staff and administration, foundation and auxiliary members, along with donors and others inter- ested in the project. The work includes building 80,000 square feet of new space and renovating another 60,000 sq. ft. for a total of 140,000 sq. ft. Once the work is complete, the hospital will be about 330,000 sq. ft. The project includes an expanded emergency room, diagnostic imag- ing department, ambulatory care unit, complex continuing care unit, laboratory and mental health ser- vices. Mr. Smitherman said, “The best health care services you can find, you can find locally.” In the past week, he’s attended three ground-breaking ceremonies “on a similar scale. It’s the single biggest health care renewal in the province’s history.” He pointed to “important players, our regional part- ners and our federal MPs. When it comes to health care, we’re all in it togeth- er. We’re all delighted to be a partner of this project.” Tom Atkins, the chairman of Rouge Valley Health System, said to Mr. Smitherman, “George, there’s a lot of competition for your dollars. We’re grateful for your help.” The work at the Ajax site will cost about $80 million. HE DID GO ALL THE WAY !

Taxes could also increase 0.5 per cent to help pay for transit By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — If Regional depart- ments stick to guidelines laid out by finance staff, taxpayers will be looking at an increase of 4.4 per cent or $77 for a $280,000 home plus an average 0.5 per cent in- crease for transit. Regional departments make up 1.5 per cent of the 4.4 per cent increase, while police make up 1.7 per cent, and roads rehabilitation, growth and bridge work make up the remaining 1.2 per cent. It will be a challenging budget, according to Scugog Mayor Mar- ilyn Pearce, chairwoman of the finance and administration com- mittee. The challenge, she said, will be trying to keep Regional depart- ments to the level recommended. “Whether it is public health or roads or our own Regional op- erations we are under tremendous pressure to meet a 1.5 increase,” she said. If all that Durham needed to deal with was regional operations then, Mayor Pearce said, the in- crease would be a mere 1.5 per cent. She said municipal govern- ments don’t see the necessary support from other levels of gov- ernment. “The federal government had a great opportunity to invest in cities. They didn’t. They chose to give it back to people on their income tax,” Mayor Pearce said. “What good does that do to people when we have to increase prop- erty taxes.” Announcements made recently by the federal government mean that income taxes will be reduced by more than $400 for a typical two-income family. “I am so frustrated with one level giving it back and then we don’t have the money,” she said. “That lovely little bit of money you just got back you are going to have to pay for it on your municipal tax bill.” The staff recommended guide- lines for the 2008 budget were received by Regional Council on Oct. 31. “It gives you a flavour of the impact on your municipality,” said Commissioner of Finance, Jim Clapp. When setting the 2008 tax guideline, Mr. Clapp said taxpayer affordability was taken into con- sideration, as well as Regional Council priorities, economic fac- tors and risk, base budget impacts and provincial impacts. “We are always being dictated to and standardized by the provin- cial government,” Mr. Clapp said. A major priority is roads capi- tal projects, Mr. Clapp said, not- ing $28.6 million will be spent in 2008 as compared to $25 million in 2007. “A new piece is the bridge rehab levy,” he explained. “We need to ratchet the amount of dollars being dedicated to that (bridge) rehab.” The recommended police ser- vice guideline is $131.6 million or $7.6 million more than 2007. The estimated transit tax impact varies by community and ranges between $88 in Uxbridge and $204 in Oshawa. Now open in your neighbourhood!

Two men leaving the Hinsley Crescent house were busted by Drug Enforcement Unit officers who arrived around noon Monday armed with a search warrant. Inside the house police discovered $2.2 million worth of plants and dried marijuana, as well as growing equipment. Wei-Min Zhou, 39, and 52-year- old Jin Ru Xu, both of Markham are charged with production of a controlled substance, possession for the purpose of trafficking and theft of hydro. Police bust Ajax grow op ‘The federal government had a great opportunity to invest in cities. They didn’t.’ MARILYN PEARCE John Wiersma, chairman of the RVHS Foundation, said, “What a great day it is for this community. Truly, this is going to be a big improvement for this site.” Pickering-Scarborough East MPP Wayne Arthurs noted the expansion was a “long time coming. I told the minister I wanted to do this in mid-September with a red shovel, but I was told that might be a little partisan. “It really happened because it wasn’t about the political process but commit- ments, by stakeholders, the auxiliary, the foundation and the board,” Mr. Arthurs stated. “Those types of commitments allow us to get to where we are today.” He joked about new Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson, saying he can “share the accolades but also some of the pain.” Mr. Dickson said, “I’ve lived here for 60 odd years and I’ve been wanting to be here for 20 some years.” Following the ground-breaking cer- emony, Mr. Smitherman noted in an in- terview, “we have 77 million bucks in this facility.” The government has earmarked “$100 million to enhance growth funding, prin- cipally here in the 905, so people should expect the government to continue to fund resources.” The health care funding formula doesn’t just “recognize the number of people living in the area, but those un- derlying needs. A good example of the funding formula that works very, very well for the residents of Durham,” he said. “The government of Ontario is respond- ing to the desires of the local community. Over time, the LHIN (Local Health Inte- gration Network) will co-ordinate more of that.” People will still have to travel for more specialized health care needs, Mr. Smi- therman said, but noted, “That’s why we built the regional cancer centre in Oshawa. LHINs were designed to address that care. The best health care is closest to home. As for a new hospital in Whitby, Mr. Smitherman said, “I haven’t committed to a new hospital. If the people in Whitby want a new hospital, they should get the money from Jim Flaherty. He was the one who closed it.” FROZEN FOOD OUTLET Entrees • Meatballs • Soup & Chili • Cookie Dough • Crackers • Chicken • Breads • Bagels • Dessert Bars • Cheesecakes • Cakes Sundried Tomato & Basil Bread Cut out on dotted line with a minimum $10 purchase with this coupon Limit 1 per family per day.

Liberals will continue to ‘fund resources’ ✦ Liberals from page 1 By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com CLAREMONT — Parents of Claremont Pub- lic School students voted overwhelmingly to designate Uxbridge Secondary School as their high school over the current Ajax-based J. Clarke Richardson. In September, a survey was sent to each family registered at the public school. In total, 131 surveys were distributed, with 108 re- turned. Of those, 92 respondents voted to change the high school designation to Ux- bridge, 14 to stay at J. Clarke and 2 had no preference. On Thursday, a public meeting was held at the elementary school to discuss the survey results and to talk about what a re-designa- tion would mean to each of the schools. About 60 people attended. Though it was a group of parents that requested the board look at changing the boundaries, J. Clarke boundaries are set to change anyway in 2008 with the opening of a new addition to Pickering High. “When the request came from the com- munity to look at Claremont’s designation, it seemed reasonable,” said Brock/Uxbridge/ Scugog superintendent Gloria Schwabe. If the board of trustees votes for the change at its Jan. 21 meeting, following the public consultation, it would only affect students currently in public school, starting with this year’s crop of Grade 8 students. “Students in the Claremont area who cur- rently attend J. Clarke will continue to receive busing to J. Clarke until the end of their school career,” said Ms. Schwabe. Students in Grade 8 who have siblings at the Ajax high school would have the option of going to J. Clarke. Subsequent classes would be designated for Uxbridge. That means the board would run two buses in Claremont for the next four years. Students who now attend Uxbridge and are driven to school by their parents would receive busing as well. “We’re not going to be busing to both schools forever,” said Ajax superintendent John Bowyer. Even with a boundary change in Clare- mont and the Pickering addition, J. Clarke Richardson would be about 450 students over its rated capacity in 2008 whereas Uxbridge Secondary School would be about 260 stu- dents over its capacity with the additional students. Though the population at J. Clarke is ex- pected to drop in 2011 to about 175 students over capacity with the boundary change, board staff pointed out that new subdivisions in the town could change that projection. If the designation is changed and parents want their children to go to J. Clarke, they could still apply to the board for permission. “The principals will look at that in consul- tation with the superintendent and they’ll make a decision based on availability and the information you put down,” said Mr. Bowyer. Board planner Christine Nancekivell said demographic changes will mean designation changes throughout the region in coming years. “I was in front of the community seven years ago when we were doing the designa- tion for J. Clarke Richardson and saying we would be back in five years,” she said. As well as the addition to Pickering High, the board is breaking ground for a new high school in Oshawa this week. And, a high school proposed for the Seaton area will eventually change the picture as well. Ms. Nancekivell said changing the designa- tion to Uxbridge Secondary would mean the high school would require an extra portable in 2008 and a maximum of three extra por- tables by 2011. Though not a done deal, much of the dis- cussion was about the logistics of changing the designation as opposed to whether it should be changed at all. “Staff are supportive of anything we could do to alleviate pressure at J. Clarke Richard- son and we would be re-drawing it anyway with the addition at Pickering High School,” said Ms. Schwabe. Dawn Tyson, who has two children at Cla- remont Public School, said the bottom line was simple for her. “I don’t want my child going to a school that’s overcrowded. To me it’s a no-brainer.” Transportation was a big issue at the meet- ing. Currently, J. Clarke doesn’t run late buses for students participating in extracurricular activities, while Uxbridge does some days a week. “If this change is passed by the board, you would receive late buses to Claremont, just like Leaskdale, Zephyr and all those wonder- ful small communities,” said Ms. Schwabe. When parents asked why there isn’t a late bus from J. Clarke, board staff responded that it’s because the Ajax school is primarily an urban one, while Uxbridge serves a rural community. Some parents talked about their satisfac- tion with J, Clarke. “I just wanted to say our experience at J. Clarke has been wonderful and I think J. Clarke has been enriched by having a small rural community enriched their school,” said Gerry Thomson. Cellulite Body contouring for problem fat, Saddle Bags, Love Handles, Abdomen, Bra-line & Jowls.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com Performer a shining example for Abilities Centre Justin Hines shows what can be accomplished with hard work To accomplish a big dream you have to dream big. That was the message at this year’s ambitious Dream Gala for what will surely be the spectacular Abilities Cen- tre in Whitby. And, organizers pulled out all the stops to make the Nov. 1 charity event at Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility in Ajax a truly memorable night. They brought in an entertainer who showed one and all that a physical impairment is no barrier to showing the ability you’ve been blessed with. Mr. Hines, 25, was born with a rare genetic joint disorder called Larsen Syndrome. He hasn’t let his disorder limit his op- tions and has signed a record deal with a major label. He says the label, Orange Lounge Recording Company, took a big chance on him. “It’s not easy marketing a guy in a wheelchair,” he said. But, his talent and drive to succeed stands as the perfect ex- ample for what the Abilities Centre will represent. The $20-million project will see a 100,000-square-foot facility built adjacent to the Iroquois Park Sports Centre. It will serve as a beacon of hope for those seeking full accessibility for all man- ner of activities and will draw those with disabilities from across Durham Region and beyond. Last year’s fundraiser for the centre brought in $500,000 and was attended by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. This year’s event, fittingly enough, featured new Lieutenant- Governor of Ontario David Onley, the perfect symbol for what can be accomplished when a person refuses to be impeded by disabilities. The former City-TV broadcaster uses a scooter to get around after suffering from polio as a child. Still, the focus was on Mr. Hines and his performance in which he played songs from his new album, Sides. The entertainment he provided showed area people what can be done when a per- son has a dream and will stop at nothing to reach his goal. Organizers aimed to reach that $500,000 goal again this year.

Durham Region Media Group Grocery store tribute not soon forgotten To the editor: A year ago on Nov. 11 I was shopping in one of Scarborough’s large grocery stores. At 10:50 a.m. a voice on the P.A. announced “We will observe two minutes of silence at 11 o’clock to remember our Canadian men and women who have served and those who are still serv- ing in the armed forces.” At 11 o’clock the lights were dimmed and not a sound could be heard in that busy store. It was most impressive and something one would not soon forget. It is to be hoped that more places of business will take two minutes to “remember” on Sunday, Nov. 11. Elizabeth Paton, Pickering When the public school board passed on re-opening the debate on school uniforms, they made the right choice. Pickering trustee Chris Braney raised the issue last month. At Monday’s standing committee meeting, he put forward a mo- tion that would have started the consulta- tion process. Only fellow Pickering trustee Sherry Cro- teau supported Mr. Braney’s motion. The rest of the trustees didn’t waste their time debating the issue, they simply and swiftly voted it down. Good call. A consultation on uniforms in public schools would have taken a year and wast- ed a lot of time. The board’s rules make it next to impos- sible for a school to institute them. That’s because 80 per cent of the families in the school must vote in favour of it. Not 80 per cent of the voters, 80 per cent of all families. It would be difficult getting that many fami- lies to simply return their vote. Though not explicitly stated, the debate on uniforms applies to high school students only. They’re not practical for the parents of elementary school students. Pricey uni- forms for young kids who quickly outgrow and wear out clothing doesn’t make sense. I’ve heard the argument that when high school students wear uniforms, it’s a lot cheaper for parents because they don’t have to buy their kids designer brands. But these kids have an after-school life. If they’re the type to demand high-priced items, they’ll demand them regardless of what they’re forced to wear to school. They’ll also do their best to accessorize and individualize those uniforms. The kids who are fashion plates will be fashion plates in uniform. Those who like pricey sneakers will still wear them, as the Catholic kids do. And anyone who’s seen some of the kilt lengths Catholic school girls sport knows that uniforms don’t guarantee modesty. There are some arguments for uniforms that have merit, such as wealth distinctions between students are less apparent and it’s easier to identify strangers in the school. But overall, that’s not enough pros to outweigh the cons. Oshawa trustee Kathleen Hopper made a good point. The board’s policy said that if a family disagrees with the dress code, they can apply to transfer to another school. With the distances between schools being what they are in parts of the region, that could mean a fair commute for some stu- dents. And transportation would be up to the parents. Trustee Hopper said she didn’t think stu- dents should be forced to go to another school because they disagreed with school uniforms. And some parents might have serious objections. Our public schools are a blend of different faiths and it could be tough to create uniforms that meet everyone’s religious and cultural requirements. Ex- ceptions to the uniform would surely be required. So why implement them in the first place when our schools already have adequate dress codes? Besides, every social group in a high school already has an unwritten uniform. The difference is it’s created by the kids themselves. Reka Szekely’s column appears every third Sunday.

Reka Szekely staff writer Board makes the right call on school uniforms motion Donors give big to Durham’s Abilities Centre By Lesley Bovie Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — The Province’s ‘A’ list opened up its pocketbook last Thurs- day night raising close to $350,000 at the second annual Dream Gala for Durham’s Abilities Centre. It was an evening aimed at removing physical and attitudinal barriers, with such big names on the guest list as Ontario Lieutenant Governor David Onley and Philippe Delacroix, France’s Consul General. Canadian Finance Minis- ter Jim Flaherty gave up his lime green tie, worn recently during his federal tax cuts announcement, for the cause. It fetched $3,750 as a last- minute live auction item. “We’re really pleased with the con- tributions both within the community and from outside the community,” said administrative director Jennifer Ayo- tte. Organizers say they’re about halfway towards their goal of raising $20 mil- lion for the Abilities Centre, expected to break ground next spring and open approximately two years later. Mr. Onley, a former City-TV anchor who suffered polio as a child, congrat- ulated the concept of creating an inter- national centre for recreation, sports and performing arts for adolescents and adults of all abilities. “Quite frankly, I’m unashamed to admit I’ve always been a dreamer,” he told guests as a woman signed beside him. “As a child with polio I’ve never been afraid to dream big,” he added. “But the reality is dreams are not enough if there is no opportunity to realize one’s potential.” Making accessibility one of his core mandates, Mr. Onley said the Dream Gala was the first speaking engage- ment he agreed to take as Lieutenant Governor designate. “Accessibility is a civil right. Acces- sibility is right,” he added. Recognizing the need to be more inclusive, the project’s board of direc- tors have expanded the Abilities Centre beyond just a recreational facility to also include a performing arts centre, a library, lounge, cafe and other ameni- ties, said vice-chairman Leo Plue. “There’s a lot of people in our com- munity who are cognitively-delayed and may not be interested in athletics, but are more interested in comput- ers, art or music,” he explained. “We want to provide a total experience for them.” Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine El- liott, co-founder and a board director, said she likes the “seamlessness” that will exist for clients when the Abilities Centre of more than 100,000 square feet is built adjacent to the Iroquois Park Sports Centre in Whitby. “We wanted to have that physical closeness,” she said in pointing to the covered walkway connecting the two facilities. “If clients want to rent pool time or watch a hockey game they can go to Iroquois Park.” Plans call for an impressive entrance way into the fieldhouse, which includes a series of long ramps, Ms. Elliott said. They will serve as a backup to elevators but also demonstrate what the Abilities Centre is all about, she added. Designing a facility that accom- panies such a wide variety of special needs, both physical and cognitive, was challenging but a labour of love for the group, Ms. Elliott said. Among those waiting for the centre to be built is Chloe Scott, who was just one day old when she suffered a massive stroke that left her brain-damaged. Her profile on display at the sold-out event said the 17- year-old, today, loves to swim and ride her bicycle. Hisham Mohammad, 11, of Whitby was at the gala. He won a gold medal in the 100-metre wheelchair race at the Ontario Summer Paralympics. Organizers also acknowledged the contribution of corporate sponsors Scotiabank ($200,000), and Ontario Power Generation ($110,000). Engi- neering firms Sernas Group and Totten Sims Hubicki have also donated in- kind services to the project. $200 each!

In fact, the gifts are chosen in February, the workshop is secured and set up over the sum- mer and the packing of gift boxes for delivery to households begins in October. Thousands of volunteers, including Girl Guides, Scouts and service club representatives, deliver the boxes to kids in need. Fund helpers take the boxes to families having money problems, or perhaps dealing with income-earners in poor health. They often receive a heartfelt thank you or even a tearful hug, not just for the gift box, but be- cause someone is thinking of them, whether or not the family celebrates Christmas. “Taking part in the Santa Claus Fund is a very rewarding experience for our staff,” said Abe Fakhourie, distribution manager for the News Advertiser. “This is our fourth year taking part in the Santa Claus Fund and each year the rewards increase,” said Tim Whittaker, publisher of the Metroland Durham Region Media Group which includes the News Advertiser. “De- livering the gift packages across Ajax and Pickering for the past three years has re- minded our employees just how important it is to give back to the community.” Established by Toronto Star founder Jo- seph E. Atkinson, the fund celebrated 100 years last year. One of eight children in a family of modest means, a stranger bought the young Joe Atkinson a pair of ice skates after watching him observe other youngsters on a pond and asking why he wasn’t skating. Touched by the gift, he later used the Star to tell the stories of less-fortunate kids, asking readers to donate money to buy them gifts. The News Advertiser is involved for a fourth year, aiming once again to deliver 1,000 gift boxes to children in Ajax and Pickering. On- tario Works and more than 60 special ser- vice agencies in the communities submit children’s names to the Star. Every dollar raised is used to purchase the items contained in the gift boxes, which go out to kids up to 12 years of age. Each box holds a warm sweater, socks, mittens, a hat, book, toy, candy and, beginning this year, a toothbrush and toothpaste for kids four to 12. Babies receive two sleepers, candy for mom and dad and a small toy. The items are all new and bought directly from manufacturers at great cost savings. To finance last year’s Santa Claus Fund ef- fort, a record $1,509,149.20 was raised. The Star covers all administrative costs of the program, ensuring that donations go directly to gifts for children in need. The Santa Claus Fund has its origins in the young Joseph Atkinson’s own childhood deprivation. The future publisher of Canada’s largest newspaper was sitting forlornly on the edge of a skating pond watching the other kids spinning and racing about on the ice when a woman passing by asked Joe why he hadn’t joined them. Atkinson said simply that he had no skates. And this kind stranger immediately bought him a pair. It was an act of generosity that would influence Atkinson’s half-century stewardship of the Star, manifesting itself in the Atkinson Principles of social justice that guide the paper to this day, and initiatives such as the Santa Claus Fund and the Fresh Air Fund, which provides needy children with a getaway to a summer camp.

PURPOSE OF THE FUND The purpose of The Toronto Star Children’s Charities [the “Fund”] is to provide gifts at Christmas through the Santa Claus Fund and to provide the summer camp experience through the Fresh Air Fund to underprivileged children. The Fund qualifies as a charitable organization under the terms of the Income Tax Act (Canada). For fiscal 2006, the Fund has met the disbursement quota requirements to maintain its status as a charitable organization under the Income Tax Act (Canada). 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statement of the Fund has been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The Fund follows the restricted fund method of accounting. Donations, the use of which is stipulated by the fundraising appeal, are recorded as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Those amounts where the donor requires that the principal be maintained on a permanent basis are recorded as revenue in the capital fund. Contributed services are not reflected in this financial statement. Contributed materials are recognized as revenue and expensed at their estimated fair value. Cash and short-term investments consist of cash on hand and short-term investments with remaining maturities of less than 12 months at the date of acquisition. Investments in bonds are recorded at cost. Investments in stock are recorded at market. Income and disbursements are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting. Administrative expenses incurred in the operation of the Fund are absorbed by Toronto Star Newspapers Limited. Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. 3. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS A separate statement of cash flows has not been presented as the information is disclosed elsewhere in the financial statement. 4. CAPITAL FUND The Capital Fund is made up of donations that will be transferred to the operating fund and disbursed in future periods. It contains restricted donations that will be used as stipulated by the contributors, and unrestricted funds that will be used at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.

Unfortunately, study skills are rarely taught in school; therefore most students don’t know how to ef- fectively utilize their study or learning time. Studying at home is only one part of a good study routine. The best study skills begin long before opening a bookbag at home—they start in the classroom. Active learning in the classroom is the best-known way to help a student really understand the material. When a stu- dent really understands the material, then studying and review become more effective and much less stressful. The earlier kids develop an active learning approach the sooner school become easier for them. Active learning is not that complicated. Students may already be using some active learning skills in the classroom without knowing it. Active learning simply means paying attention to the teacher, taking good notes, and asking questions. Being actively engaged in the learning pro- cess – at school and at home. Asking questions is one of the best ways to help assimilate infor- mation fi rmly into the brain. A stu- dent should ask questions both of himself, • Do I understand this? • What facts do I already know that support this? • How do I feel about this lesson? Active Learning - The Oxford Difference Twenty-four years feels like a long time. Remem- bering the fi rst day of opening with 25 students and the excitement of a new undertaking, no one thought fur- ther than making that fi rst day count for the students. One young lady, whose mother would be working part-time at the school and had learned of the valid- ity of the Montessori method, confi dently transferred her 6-1/2 year-old daughter from the public school in Scarborough that she was attending, to the Montes- sori Learning Centre of Pickering. Cathy thrived in the Montessori environment. Socially confi dent she began hesitantly in her new academic setting. Within months Montessori magic captured her interest. The colourful and exciting materials, the ability to work with them independently and the interaction with staff and peers brought Montessori’s theory, philosophies and prac- tices into her daily routine. The Practical Life exercises taught her valuable lessons in independence, and the Sensorial materials gave her scope for problem solv- ing and rationalizing. The Language materials opened up the world as sounds and phonograms, parts of speech and sentence structure criss-crossed the cul- tural curriculum and all the life sciences it offered. The bank game, stamp game and bead frames, with num- bers into the tens and hundreds of thousands opened the avenues of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and all the variations with numbers they allow. Daily French, weekly music, computer, phys ed, civics, art and home economics exposed her to a comprehen- sive foundation in academics balanced with an excite- ment and love of learning. She moved on after Grade 4 – the highest grade level MLCP offered at the time. We had news of her on and off over the years from her mother. Drivers license, fi rst “real” job, marriage, fi rst house ... the baby! Our fi rst student had become a student of parenthood, and how well she seemed to do it. Calm, encouraging, supportive, brave and confi - dent. We at MLCP were thrilled when we learned that Koen — the baby —would share his beginning years with us. Many staff members have had children who have shared their educational beginnings at MLCP but this young man is our fi rst “grandchild” – our fi rst testament to generational Montessori. Now with stu- dents leaving in Grade 8, we have many visits from graduates as they drive themselves through the gates for the fi rst time or complete their community service hours or bring in their university acceptances or share their diplomas. “We are now honoured to share in the beginning of Koen’s young academic life and all the accomplish- ments he will share over time as we wait, with bated breath, for his fi rst step!” Montessori Learning Centre of Pickering is located at 401 Kingston Road.

Continued on next page • Does this lesson remind me of anything that I’ve learned in other classes? and of the teacher, • Can you give more examples? • How does this relate to other lessons? • Will you explain this part to me again? Active learning in the classroom is still only one part (a big part, mind you) of developing comprehensive study skills. The second part is review at home, which for many students can be stressful and confusing. Students often don’t know what to do when they get home and open up their books. This is not surprising, as study skills are not part of the average curriculum. For most students, studying is little more than re-read- ing their notes or textbooks. What else can they do to get the most out of study time so they study better, not longer? Here are a few active studying tips to help: • Get organized - plan out a study schedule. • Review with a pen and paper - writing makes study time active rather than passive. • Ask questions - about material that you fi nd confus- ing. • Put it in your own words - rather than trying to commit facts to memory, explaining or paraphrasing will help you to really understand. • Be effi cient - identify what you do know, study what you don’t. • Make jot notes - make notes at the end of every class of key points to review. • Test yourself - Test your memory and understanding by giving yourself mini-quizzes: actively read, cover, recite and check. Think of the opportunity for greater understanding and suc- cess in school if your children develop and practice more active learning skills early and throughout their learning careers!

Index Energy plans to de- velop a $50 million state-of-the art cogeneration/district energy facility in Ajax, which will generate elec- tricity, steam, hot water and chilled water from wood biomass, a renew- able energy source. District energy involves the utilization of one heat source to heat multiple buildings. Cogeneration involves the produc- tion of electricity and useful heat en- ergy simultaneously from a common fuel source. See the following link to David Suzuki’s Foundation in support of district energy http://www.david- suzuki.org/Climate_Change/Solu- tions/Buildings.asp. Development Potential The cogeneration/district energy facility has the potential to generate up to 50 megawatts of electricity uti- lizing wood biomass as the primary fuel source and natural gas as a back- up fuel source. The Town of Ajax has a present electricity demand of approximately 80 megawatts. There- fore, the proposed cogeneration dis- trict energy facility has the potential if fully developed to provide the Town of Ajax with a substantial por- tion of its electricity demand from a renewable energy resource. More- over, given the forecasted shortage of electricity in Ontario, which is fur- ther magnifi ed as the province phas- es out its coal generation, the Town of Ajax would benefi t signifi cantly from having such a development in its midst. Moreover, Index Energy is prepared to sell a portion of its elec- tricity to the Town of Ajax to ensure adequate electricity supply to the Town and to provide back up elec- tricity in the event of an emergency. “We anticipate that the electricity generated from our facility will be classifi ed as a green energy source (the facility needs to be eco logo certifi ed).” The Ajax Steam Plant has previously qualifi ed for carbon credits in the past and we expect that the new cogeneration/district energy facility will qualify as well. Emission Control Index Energy will be incorpo- rating the latest emission control technology to meet the most strin- gent emissions standards in Ontario today. Index Energy offered to con- duct a joint study with the Town of Ajax to determine the most suitable emission control technology. Index Energy remains hopeful that the Town will decide to participate in this study. The facility will utilize wood biomass as its primary fuel source, which is a renewable resource www.indexenergy.net AJAX’S GREEN ENERGY SOLUTION! >> see next page Front View of the New Ajax District Energy Plant Index Energy is planning to make a substantial investment in the revitalization of the existing steam plant structure.

The rea- soning is that the carbon dioxide ab- sorbed by trees is released when the tree is burned. Moreover, methane gas is released in addition to carbon dioxide if a tree is left to decom- pose in a landfi ll, which is another ‘Greenhouse Gas’ that is contribut- ing to global warming. A case can also be made that by using wood biomass as a fuel source reduces car- bon emissions as it reduces the over- all dependency on electrical energy generated from other sources, like coal, oil and fossil other fuels. On-site Cogeneration In Sweden entire towns benefi t from the operation of cogeneration/ district energy facilities both in resi- dential and commercial applications. Index Energy is committed to real- izing this objective in Ajax so that the development of the facility will benefi t both residents and businesses and result in a reliable energy supply at a reduced cost and generated from a renewable energy source. As part of realizing this objective Index En- ergy is actively engaged in develop- ing onsite cogeneration opportuni- ties in Ajax. On-site cogeneration is only possible with infrastructure in place such as a cogeneration/district energy facility (Ajax Steam Plant). The benefi t to the Town of Ajax by implementing onsite cogeneration would be enormous and change the energy market in Ajax signifi cantly for the benefi t of local businesses and residents. A royalty has been of- fered to be paid to the Town of Ajax in connection with the steam lines, which would provide the Town with another source of revenue. Since we will be generating the electricity from high pressure steam at the Ajax Steam Plant and the re- sidual low pressure steam is deliv- ered to our customers, which in the case of onsite generation results in the steam being used again to gener- ate electricity and then the exhaust thermal heat exiting the back end of the turbine can be used for heating, the resulting effect is that the steam is used three times or tri-genera- tion. This process can benefi t both industry and residents in factory and apartment type applications by insulating them against the high cost of natural gas and electricity, as a small turbine can be installed in such settings and pass on the benefi t of higher energy effi ciency directly to the consumer. Index Energy will use its engineers to manage and maintain the turbines installed at its customers’ facilities for on-site gen- eration. The cogeneration/district energy facility was designed by lead archi- tect Reg Freethy. >> from previous page Ajax Steam Plant – East View View of Canopy over Wood Storage Yard Index Energy is planning to construct a canopy over the existing wood biomass yard.

The eight- team tourna- ment con- cludes with the gold- and bronze-medal games today (Sunday) at the Kitchener Memorial Au- ditorium. The Dur- ham Junior Lightning women’s hockey team has three players spread among two provincial teams with forward Natalie Spooner and defenceman Tara Watchorn on Ontario Red, and defenceman Kailey Chappell on Ontario Blue. Ontario Red was a sterling 2-0 heading into Friday’s action, with re- sults unavailable at press time. Mean- while, Ontario Blue had yet to record a victory, going 0-2. Ontario Red defeated Alberta 3-0 to begin play on Wednesday, with Spooner recording an assist in the contest. They also played on Thurs- day, crushing Saskatchewan 5-0.

[ Basketball ] LOSSA senior semis on Monday AJAX — The court battles for Durham Region senior girls’ basket- ball supremacy continue on Monday afternoon. The Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ playoffs resume with semifinal ac- tion, including the top-seeded and undefeated Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars playing the All Saints Catholic Secondary School Titans in one semifinal at Notre Dame at 2:45 p.m. The other semi features the Pickering High School Trojans in Whitby to play the Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School Wild- cats, also on Monday afternoon. The winners meet for the LOSSA ‘AAAA’ championship at Whitby’s Sinclair Secondary School on Wednesday evening at 8 p.m. Bayview tops at Little Rock ’spiel Sixteen 12-and-under rinks compete at annual Annandale curling event By Jim Easson Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — A Bayview Curling Club rink finished atop the field at the annual Annandale Little Rock Bonspiel last Saturday. A full draw of 16 teams, includ- ing eight from host Annandale Golf and Curling Club and eight from other clubs participated in the all-day age 12-and-under event. Andrew Bradley’s foursome of James Harris, Sarah Avery and Niki Sennik from Toronto’s Bay- view Curling Club captured the bonspiel title over a Whitby Curl- ing Club rink skipped by Michael Sheppard. An Annandale entry skipped by Emily Flett, including Bran- don Moe, Sabrina Zaczek and Brooke Carroll came in third. April Risto served as the conve- ner again this year. She acknowl- edged the many volunteers who ensured the event ran smoothly and also the generous sponsor- ship of Frito Lay. All players in the Little Rock ’spiel received a prize as well as snacks and lunch. ••• An Annandale rink skipped by Tim March with Rob Bushfield, Patrick Janssen and Tyler An- derson with coach Paul Bourque competed in the 14th annual OVCA Junior SuperSpiel in Ot- tawa from Nov. 2 to 4. The March foursome qualified for the final four before bow- ing out. They did, however, win $1,000 for their efforts. The March team has qualified for the Junior Provincials two of the last three seasons and will attempt to qualify again in their last year as Juniors, to win the Provincial title. That journey starts in the Pepsi Junior Women and Junior Men’s Zone Playdowns at Annandale from Nov. 16 to 18. Annandale has two junior men’s entries: One skipped by Tim March, and the other helmed by Michael Bryson with his team of Wes- ley Forget, Sandy Martin and James McPherson with Susannah Moylan coaching. For the junior women, Lesley Pyne skips the team of Stacey Hogan, Leahanne Legrow, and Jackie Clarke with Jennifer Mc- Ghee as coach. Two teams in each event will advance from the double-knock- out playdown to the regionals in Beaverton on Nov. 24 and 25. The seniors also have zone playdowns at Annandale that Nov. 16 weekend. ••• The Day Ladies’ Bonspiel ‘The Freeze’ was slated for Nov. 7, but it was withdrawn from the calen- dar due to a shortage of entries. ••• This weekend, the reign- ing world championship Glenn Howard rink travels to Lloydmin- ister, Alberta for the Best Western Wayside Inn Curling Classic from Nov. 9 to 12. The team, consisting of Glenn at skip, Pickering resi- dent Richard Hart at vice, Brent Laing at second, and Craig Savill as lead, are the reigning champi- ons in this event. Hart confirmed he will be play- ing this year. He stayed home last year for a son’s birthday. Each member of the team is growing a mustache to raise awareness of men’s health and funds for pros- tate cancer research. Visit www. movember.com. The classic has 32 teams set to play down in a triple knock-out draw, which will result in eight teams qualifying for a share of the $75,000 purse. As winners of the 2007 Tim Hortons Brier in Hamilton, and the Ford World Men’s Curling Championship in Edmonton, the Howard rink will receive a bye into the Ontario Provincial Men’s Curling Championship in Water- loo next Feb. 4 to 10, where the team hopes to repeat. The 2008 Tim Hortons Brier is at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg from March 8 to 16, with the winner to represent Canada at the world men’s championship in Grand Forks, North Dakota, from April 5 to 13.

Panthers’ MacQueen named conference player of the month Forward continues to set torrid scoring pace for Pickering juniors PICKERING — A high-scoring Pickering Panthers forward has been recognized as the OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s South Conference play- er of the month for October. Jamie MacQueen scored eight goals during the month and is currently tied for sixth place in overall OPJAHL scoring with 15 goals in 19 games with the Pan- thers. Although the Panthers went 2- 7 in October, MacQueen’s lead- ership and commitment to dis- cipline was evident, recording only one minor penalty in nine games played. MacQueen, in his second sea- son with the Panthers after com- ing over to the team in a trade with the Au- rora Tigers midway through the 2006-07 season, has played in all situations, logging minutes on the power play and is also utilized as a penalty kill- ing. In fact, he’s amassed seven points while playing on special teams, including two power-play goals and three short-handed markers. He’s also recorded at least a point in 12 of the Panthers’ last 13 games. MacQueen is the leading scor- er on the Panthers with 28 points (15 goals and 13 assists) in 19 games.

DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins atom football team will attempt to repeat as league champs today (Sunday). The Dolphins play familiar rival Burl- ington Stampeders in the Central Ontario Minor Football League atom champion- ship at Scarborough’s Birchmount Sta- dium at noon. The Dolphins earned the right to de- fend their COMFL championships after running past the York Simcoe Young Bucs 36-8 in semifinal action at Picker- ing’s Kinsmen Park last Sunday. The atoms aren’t the only Dolphin team going for COMFL pigskin glory on Sunday. The tyke squad will join the atoms in its pigskin pursuit of a cham- pionship after winning their semifinal 28-0 over the York Simcoe Young Bucs at Pickering’s Kinsmen Park last Sunday. The Dolphins’ tykes face the Scarbor- ough Thunder in the title game at Birch- mount Stadium on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ peewees ended a strong campaign after a 17-0 semifinal loss to the Oshawa Hawkeyes at the Oshawa Civic Stadium last Sunday. Dolphins’ atom head coach Dan McIl- ravey is expecting a close contest against Burlington, as the two teams split games during the regular season. The Dolphins beat the Stampeders 24-6 in the first game, but Burlington turned the table in the second meeting, winning 16-6. In the semifinal game, the atom Dol- phins got a big boost from their defence, limiting the Young Bucs to eight points -- all scored late in the final quarter. Dolphins’ defensive ends Shakir Lewis and Carmen Scala, halfbacks Ben Pat- erson and Justin Ross and cornerbacks Michael Glibbery and Matt Boatang did a great job of shutting down the sweep. Stand-out players on defence were safety Cole Belec with an interception returned for 45 yards, and Justin Ross with an in- terception returned for 25 yards. The offence, led by quarterback Da- mien White, dominated the Young Bucs rushing for more than 350 yards on the day. Fullback Rae Grant scored four touchdowns and ran for 190 yards. Run- ning back Ben Paterson carried for 120 yards in a classic ball control offence. Quarterback White scored the fifth and final Dolphins’ major on a quarterback keeper from the three-yard line. The point-after team led by kicker Shaquan Williams, holder Carmen Scala and long snapper Hayden MacNamee were 3-for-5 on the point-after-touch- down attempts, accounting for six of the 36 points scored. Top offensive players were linemen Hasson Abbas, Nat Vaikla, Yasean Ste- itieh, McNamee and Carmen Scala. Top defensive players were linemen Shakir Lewis, Hayden McNamee, Raekwon Grant, Carmen Scala and Nathaniel Vai- kla. Steamed About High Energy Prices?

Council passed a bylaw last May to change the start to 9 a.m. from 10 a.m. The change went through without discussion, but at the next meeting Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson in- troduced a notice of motion to switch the time back. A call went out for public input, but Regional Clerk Pat Madill said she didn’t receive any correspondence re- garding the subject. The bylaw chang- ing the time back to 10 a.m. passed at the Oct. 31 meeting of Regional Coun- cil. But, according to Oshawa Regional Councillor John Henry, who intro- duced the original motion to have meetings begin at 9 a.m., the Region of Durham is the only regional council in the Province that begins its meetings at 10 a.m. “I don’t know any other business that starts at 10 a.m.,” said Coun. Henry said. “I am disappointed that we are not coming across as the business we should.” He said he is frustrated that his origi- nal motion passed unanimously and without discussion only to be recant- ed. “Imagine the time and money and cost that was wasted on this,” Mr. Henry said. “It took the clerk’s time and the time it took during the council meetings.” He maintains that starting the meet- ings at 9 a.m. is a good idea. “The last four meetings (that started at 9 a.m.) we have gotten more done and been more productive,” Coun. Henry said. “If you watch future coun- cil meetings we won’t be out until 6 p.m. in the evening.” The next council meeting, Nov. 21, will begin at 10 a.m. On again, off again, 10 a.m. Regional council meetings are back on again Start Your Christmas Shopping Early At The Country Pedlar In Whitby Believe it or not Christmas will be here before you know it. “We have lots of new stock arriving every week including lots of great gift items for Christmas,” says owner Cathy Peel. “There are lots of new candles, tea pots, tea sets and accessories, jams, gift sets and so much more.
