Anji Dimitriou and Jane Currie say they were assault- ed by another student’s father on Nov. 3 just as classes let out for the day at Gordon B. Attersley elementary school. “In shock” over what happened, Ms. Dimitriou, 30, looked to the Internet networking website Facebook to tell their story. “In the beginning we felt alone,” Ms. Dimitriou said. “Now, we have a support system.” The group Ms. Dimitriou set up, “Gay women get battered at children’s school,” has more than 2,250 members and Ms. Dimitriou said the number keeps getting bigger. “People are just disgusted with what happened. I have had so many people contact me of- fering a lot of support,” Ms. Dimitriou said a week after the attack happened. “That’s what is getting us through this. We don’t know any of these people and for a com- munity to come together, it’s amazing.” The exclusive news story and video report by news- durhamregion.com was posted on Facebook, and the response was immediate. Classes had just let out Monday at Gordon B. Atters- ley elementary school on Attersley Drive, according to the couple. Ms. Dimitriou said she was helping her son put his backpack into the car when another student’s father came toward her and began yelling. He referred to her and Ms. Currie as men, she said, as she recounted what happened. Ms. Dimitriou said the man swore at her, called her a slang word for lesbian in an aggressive and deroga- tory way, then “out of nowhere” spit in her face and punched her. To spread the word even further Ms. Currie, 37, and Ms. Dimitriou are working with P-FLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) to plan a rally to bring awareness to the community. They are still in the planning stages but Ms. Dimitriou said they hope to march around Oshawa City Hall on Friday. Mark Scott, 43, of Oshawa, faces two charges of as- sault causing bodily harm in connection with the inci- dent. Mr. Scott will make his first court appearance on Dec. 16.

The comments came as Picker- ing’s planning and development committee supported a regional growth scenario and policy direc- tions report Monday night. It’s the fifth phase of Durham Region’s Growth Plan Implemen- tation Study, a requirement of the Province’s Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The Re- gion is required to plan for 960,000 people living and 350,000 work- ing in the region by 2031. Nearly 140,000 of those people are expect- ed to move into Pickering by that time and plans include increased living and employment areas to accommodate that growth. The total increase in units by 2031 is expected to be nearly 49,000. Land proposed for new urban develop- ment is about 1,700 hectares, 1,400 hectares of which should be built up by 2031, according to Catherine Rose, the City’s project manager. All of these numbers include the development of Seaton. Although the Province has asked Durham to reach a target ratio of three people to every job, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson wants two people for every job. “Durham doesn’t want to be a bedroom community,” Ms. Rose said. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson said the document, like most planning documents, will evolve “but I think we’re going in the right direction.” He was annoyed, along with other councillors, that a Pickering airport is included in the plans, although a final decision hasn’t been made and Council is against the idea. It is included, however, in the Region’s official plan. Brian Buckles of the Green Door Alliance at the meeting said plan- ning for 2031 for population and employment is too far in the fu- ture. He said forecasts on anything that far ahead are fanciful and not based on reality. “We are entering a fundamental- ly new era,” he said. “Now is not the time to limit long-term options.” Resident Terry Nuspl compared planning this far in advance to de- ciding the future for children. “I don’t plan their marriage,” she said. “I assume you don’t. Why are we planning their legacy?” Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bon- nie Littley said the process was too fast (the Region released the report on Sept. 23), with little public con- sultation, and not enough effort has been put into a proper fiscal study. Coun. Littley is concerned with plans to place the Carruthers Creek headwaters (which include prime farmland) into an urban designation. Although a watershed study has been completed in the past, it was done on the basis that the headwaters would remain in their natural state, she said. She was also displeased with plans to expand the urban bound- aries into the whitebelt lands (undeveloped lands in north Pickering). Planning and development di- rector Neil Carroll said although the map shows whitebelt devel- opment taking place, that doesn’t mean the entire area is going to be totally built out. For example, ravines, parks and wildlife areas and a full neighbourhood plan- ning process will follow, where staff and Council can fine-tune how Pickering wants the plan to unfold. Among Pickering’s suggestion to the Region are expanding the extent of land for future living area around Kinsale in north Pickering to create room for growth for a complete neighbourhood.

Monica Tierra, 44, of Wilcroft Court, has not been seen or heard from since Nov. 1 and family mem- bers are becoming increasingly anxious, Durham police said. Relatives have been circulat- ing posters in the community in hopes of obtaining information and police have canvassed area hotels and motels in search of the woman. A tip that the woman had been seen at a bus terminal Nov. 1 turned out to be unfounded, police said. Anyone with information on the missing woman is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, ext. 2529.

TH Energy proposes to construct an anemometer platform to conduct the wind testing. An anemometer is a miniature weather station that tests for wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity etc. An anemometer platform is a stand-alone structure with two small wind generators and a solar photovoltaic (PV) panel to power the instruments that would be affi xed to the lake-bottom. It is a temporary structure and will be removed after it has served its purpose. The proposed structure has the following general dimensions/ characteristics: • A structural steel platform located in approximately 15 m of water extending from lake bottom to approximately 4 m above lake water level; • A width of approximately 5 m; and • An anemometer instrument, auxiliary power system and navigation lights located atop this platform.

Ms. Harkness takes over on Dec. 15, re- placing Edna Klazek, who is retiring after 10 years as the executive director. Ms. Harkness is currently the executive director of the Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax-Pickering, a position she’s held for the past two years. “It’s tough leaving the Big Brothers. I came from a place where I worked with homeless youth. Since I came to the Big Brothers, I see where they get off track,” Ms. Harkness said. Prior to joining the Big Brothers, Ms. Harkness had been with Pathways for Chil- dren, Youth and Family of York Region for 10 years. She lives in Ajax and “that was another motivation to come to Big Brothers. I worked in the field, but never close to home. “I’m very excited about social services. I have quite a passion for it. I’ve been in it for 20 years,” Ms. Harkness said. “Positions at the United Way don’t come around very often.” Having worked in the field and with agencies that receive funding, I know of the need for the United Way.” The difficulty for agencies is they have to spend so much time fundraising and it’s “taking away from the tremendous effort and that’s to run programs.” Her hope is to “relieve the strain on chari- ties,” she said, adding when the United Way doesn’t meet its goal, charities are affected. “I want to work on growing the campaign and doing advocacy work on behalf of social services,” Ms. Harkness said. She said the United Way offers a leader- ship program for charities, which charities wouldn’t be able to pay for normally. There’s upgrading and training provided. “I’ve gone to that and I like to see that grow. “The exciting part for me is knowing the community. There’s so many wonderful vol- unteers,” she said. Ms. Harkness doesn’t assume her new role until mid-December. “I really wanted to give the Big Brothers time to at least get the hiring underway. The last thing the United Way wants to do is leave one of its charities vulnerable,” she said.

I must have screamed as my puppies ran off across the street as I laid there in shock. I had fallen in front of a house where I saw a lady watching me from behind her front door but doing nothing to help. I slowly turned myself over and saw two kids down the street also watching but doing nothing. As I scanned to the right I saw a News Advertiser paper carrier begin to run quickly to my aid from a block away. I was unable to move at first due to the burning in my knees, wrists, hands and elbow. When the News Advertiser carrier arrived at my side he introduced him- self (Nicholas), assessed the situation, gained control of my puppies and assisted me to my feet while giving me moral support. He offered to help me get home but I was more mobile at this time and declined. I am so grateful to Nicholas for taking action. We had never spoken before this day so he truly was helping a stranger. He was very mature, respectful, empa- thetic and supportive. In a world where so few people are willing to look out for their fellow man, it is very inspirational for me to have someone like Nicholas living in my neighbourhood. I want the News Advertiser to acknowledge Nicholas for his quickness and selfless action while on his route. He should be honoured for his kindness and compassion. I am truly thankful for him. Lee Boss Ajax Police plan too expensive for taxpayers To the editor: In tough times everyone has to tighten their belts and spend less. Regional chairman Roger Anderson made a deci- sion that we cannot afford to raise taxes to support the police services 20-20-20 initiative in times like this. I, and many others, probably feel this is the wrong time for raising taxes to support increased spending. Thirty-five per cent of the regional budget goes to the Durham Regional Police. I hope that the DRP can finally see the full picture of what’s happening in Durham Region economically and accept this decision. We cannot force more hardship on people by increasing taxes that are already too high and which they can- not afford. In the future we can work together to grow the region economi- cally and then we can realize this initia- tive when times turn for the better. Paul Morgan Bowmanville Rider fed up with parking issues at Ajax GO station To the editor: Today I gave up on Ajax- Ajax GO sta- tion, that is. For months I’ve watched reserved park- ing spaces take over the main parking lot, creating two-tier parking in our provin- cial government’s commuter railway. I’ve watched people park illegally, perhaps at first because they had nowhere else to park, but eventually because they were getting away with it (I think I’ve seen tick- ets issued once in the last year). GO Transit should be administering public parking for the benefit of all, and that includes enforcement. Instead, GO whimpers about lack of resources (which oddly doesn’t impair the revenue-gener- ating train patrols) and the decay contin- ues. So now I’m driving out of town to a station with slower decay. Perhaps even- tually I’ll be forced into a choice between “creative” parking or getting a reserved space of my own. Either approach makes things better for me at the expense of my neighbours. Maybe I’ll just drive. I think this is what economists refer to as “the tragedy of the commons,” where people conclude that to get their fair share of a common ser- vice, they must break the rules others are breaking. It’s truly a tragedy and, sadly, becoming so much more common.

After all, international governments everywhere, given the global credit finan- cial crisis, are lining up to offer the once powerful auto giants billions of dollars and euros in handouts so they can stay viable. In the United States, a package totalling $25 billion is set to be given out to what was formerly the Big Three so they can stay afloat amid signs General Motors is on the verge of bankruptcy. One stock analyst predicted its market price would drop to zero by next year after it hit a 62- year low on Monday. The European Union is offering $40 billion euros in relief for its ailing manu- facturing industries. Even China, where growth is an unheard of 10 per cent per year, has a $600 billion bailout plan in place. So, if only to keep pace with the rest of the world, Canada will need to do some- thing or watch our manufacturing base fall farther behind, if not eventually evaporate. The question is, what do we do and how much do we provide? Clearly, a bailout of some kind is required and what will be needed will be in the billions of dollars, not millions. Pre- mier Dalton McGuinty is reported to be seeking something on the order of around $4 billion, in proportion to what was pro- vided in the United States, but that will be up to the federal government to decide. What’s critical is that the feds don’t just throw good money after bad. The Big Three -- General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler -- have been sliding downhill for a long time now. Their leaders have talked a good game about restructuring, about turnarounds, about comebacks, but little progress has been made. When this bailout is provided, the feds must sit down with the Canadian presi- dents of the Big Three and receive assur- ances that things will be different this time. Job guarantees must be attached to the taxpayer funds. New strategies to make sure the automakers build cars people want must be provided. The feds need to know the industry will not sputter and fail and that the billions provided won’t go down a sinkhole. It’s a gamble but one the feds will have to take.

He was only in Grade 3 when his family left the country. Now in Grade 5, he’s spent just more than a year in Canada. “When he came, he was frightened,” said his mother, Rakhshanda Ambreen, in the little English she knows. “But after a few months... they wanted to live in the school forever.” His family came to Canada because of the lack of jobs and good education in Pakistan, said Shaffan’s mom. At first, he worried about leaving his cousins and friends in Pakistan. “Because I missed them,” Shaffan said in his quiet, shy voice. Sitting on the couch inside his family’s modest Whitby apartment, the Grade 5 student shares the few memories he does have of the Pakistan education system. “I had seven books and one notebook,” he said. His subjects included English, Urdu, Is- lamic, geography, math, art, gym, science, and social studies. “Really hard,” he said, while his younger brother and sister sat near him on the couch. “Had a lot of things to learn.” In Canada, school was a big change. The work was easy and the teachers were really nice, he said. Inside his new school, Sir William Ste- phenson Public School in Whitby, he was impressed by how many windows there were. “We could see outside, the grounds,” he said. “It was really different than my other school, they had big grounds in Pakistan,” Shaffan said. His Pakistani school housed 10 grades and had three different playgrounds for the various age groups. But, the teachers there weren’t polite, he said. “A lot of them weren’t nice,” Shaffan said. “It wasn’t good and the teachers were bad, but the friends were nice,” he said. “They would punish everyone even if you didn’t do anything. Once I didn’t do something, someone else did, and I got punished. I didn’t get lunch. “School was really hard, that’s why we came here,” Shaffan said. He prefers the system in Durham Re- gion. “The teachers are nice and some friends are nice,” he said. In school, he is in the English-as-a-Sec- ond-Language program. Before coming to Canada, he knew some English, but not that much, he said. The program is helpful and he works on some paper stuff, sentences and words. “Easy stuff, it gets harder and harder,” Shaffan said. He doesn’t find it hard to learn his school work and a language at the same time. He did well last year, he said. The hardest thing for him was being shy and not having many friends, but within a month, he made some. He met another student from Pakistan and they became friends. “Everything went so smooth, we could have never imagined,” said his dad, Riaz Din. “The first day he was feeling a bit shy, but nothing else,” Mr. Din said. At first, he was afraid of coming here because he didn’t know English properly, but it only took him a few weeks to start learning. Shaffan loves his school so much, he doesn’t want to go to another one here, or in Pakistan, said Mr. Din. Top tongue is Urdu followed by Arabic By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Newcomers to Canada will find a warm welcome from the Durham District School Board. The board supports students from more than 55 language backgrounds, the biggest one being Urdu, an official language of Pak- istan and also spoken in India, said Anne Sidnell, its education officer and co-ordina- tor of its English as a Second Language and English Literacy Development programs. “Globalization means languages aren’t tied to an area any more,” she said. “In Canada, we welcome immigrants, so certainly this is a trend, not just a Durham trend, but all across Ontario.” When people are new to the board, they are provided with welcome folders offered in nine different languages. The folders contain information about the education system, contact numbers for families – such as where to get OHIP – and other things needed to settle into a community. School registration forms are also offered in the nine different languages. If necessary, the board can arrange for interpreters, Ms. Sidnell said. In Durham, Ajax has the highest popula- tion of school-age newcomers, she said. The board supports variations of English as well, such as Creole, because some forms of English have significant differences in their grammatical structure. It generally takes five-to-seven years to acquire academic fluency in English, Ms. Sidnell said. The students’ first language is supported by allowing its use in the classroom where appropriate, such as through essay plan- ning. “Our role is to adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of all students,” she said. When kids are trying to learn a language, they use visuals, such as key words and strategies to pick out what’s being taught in classrooms. Dual language books are available in 35 different languages, with English first, then Urdu or another language alongside to help parents understand as well. “We have lots of dual-language resourc- es,” she said. Extracurricular activities can help sup- port friend making. “It also helps them develop social lan- guage,” she said. Making friends allows them to feel more comfortable and suc- ceed. Ms. Sidnell’s advice for students and par- ents is to become involved with the school community as much as possible and to talk to staff about anything they need clarified. “My No. 1 tip would be maintaining that first language,” she said. All studies point to having literacy skills in one language transferring to those in another, Ms. Sidnell said. “Maintaining and developing the first language is a very important piece,” she said. “And if you have a question, don’t hesitate to ask, we have lots of people here to answer them,” she said.

Ajax parents want activities for kids with special needs By Danielle Bergeron Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — An Ajax couple is seeking parents of special needs kids to set up programs and activities for the children. Dane Joseph and his wife, Siromi, have been raising their 13-year-old daughter, Shenei- ka, who has Pervasive Devel- opment Disorder, resulting in her poor social skills. She has a delay in language process- ing and her vocabulary is very limited. Since her diagnosis, Dane has worked with her to help improve her situation. “She attends a regular Cath- olic school and is in a regular class and as years go by I have seen an immense improve- ment in her,” he said. Dane realized there are a lot of children like her daughter in Durham Region who need interaction and communica- tion skills in order to improve their life skills. He has tried enrolling her in programs, but there is a long waiting list to get into them. “I feel that the earlier these children get the needed ther- apy, the faster they will im- prove,” he said. Dane wants parents of special needs children to get together and create activities and programs that will help the kids improve their social and life skills. By creating programs, he reasoned, the children won’t have to be on waiting lists and they will be able to make friends and gain confidence. “We can have classes to teach them cooking, danc- ing, music, crafts, and take them grocery shopping or to the mall to shop or to the movies and teach them basic life skills, like how to handle money, time, planning, safety and basic life requirements,” he said. It doesn’t have to be just kids with special needs. There are kids who lack confidence and are afraid to go out in public or other kids who would love to help kids in need. If any parents are interested, call Dane at 905-428-1341.

Negotiations broke down again Friday when the Durham Regional Police Association rejected the board’s final contract offer, accord- ing to a statement issued by Roger Anderson, the lead negotiator for the region. The offer included a 9.6 per cent salary increase for the asso- ciation’s 1,100 uniform and civil- ian members over three years and enhanced benefits, the statement said. Association members, who have been without a contract since Jan. 1, 2008, are calling on management to increase the number of uniform officers patrolling Durham by at least 20 cops in each year of the three-year contract framework. Police contract talks break down By Charles McGregor, Special to The News Advertiser newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM — There’s a medal out there waiting to be presented to the members of its owner’s family -- if they can be found. The medal was awarded to First World War veteran Frank Leslie Tucker, a Bowmanville resident who fought at Passchendaele in Belgium in 1917 where he was among many soldiers who were victims of an enemy mustard gas attack. It’s the British Victory Medal and was awarded, along with the British War Medal, to all soldiers from Britain and the Common- wealth countries who served in what was called the Great War as well as “The War to End all Wars.” The medal surfaced in Califor- nia recently for sale on eBay. It was bought by collector Dave Thom- son, who is making an effort to repatriate war medals which are available for sale, either to return them to the recipient’s family, if they wish to have them or to do- nate them to local museums. It was then bought by Durham Region Metroland Media Group, owners of the News Advertiser, in the hopes that, during the days sur- rounding Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, when attention is focused on Canadians who went to war in the service of their country, someone might know whether Pvt. Tucker has any relatives still living in the region. If so, the medal is theirs. Born in Bowmanville in 1895, Pvt. Tucker went to Port Hope in September, 1915, to enlist in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The attestation papers he signed indicate he was a blond, blue-eyed unmarried man of 20. Like many other young Canadians of the time he was doubtless excited to be in uniform and anxious to get into action. He got his wish. The Canadian Corps began its attack on Oct. 26, 1917, and Pvt. Tucker was gassed five days later. The movie Passchendaele current- ly showing in local theatres vividly depicts what 20,000 members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force went through in what was called the Third Battle of Ypres. A total of 16,000 of them were ei- ther killed, wounded or were miss- ing in action at battle’s end. Nine Victoria Crosses were awarded to Canadians for bravery in the bat- tle. It is regarded as one of the First World War’s most brutal strug- gles, where fighting occurred in extremely harsh and treacherous conditions. Any readers who know anything about the family of Private Tucker are asked to contact the newspaper at 905-579-4400 ext. 2248 or by e- mail at newsroom@durhamregion. com.

AJAX — He might claim it’s a bum rap, but an Ajax man is facing several charges after Durham drug cops busted him Thursday. As a result of a traffic stop and a subse- quent search of an Ajax home, officers found a loaded handgun, cash and drug parapher- nalia -- and a little more than two grams of crack cocaine concealed in a suspect’s rectum, Durham police said. The bust came Thursday when Drug En- forcement Unit (DEU) cops investigating a man for trafficking stopped a car at Westney Road and Hwy. 2. A man in the car was arrested and found to have more than $1,000 in cash in his pos- session. A search of the man revealed a plastic bag containing crack sticking out of his rectum, police said. When the man refused to remove the bag he was transported to hospital. Medical staff convinced the man to remove the bag, which police said was found to contain more than two grams of crack. Police obtained a search warrant for a home on McSweeney Crescent, where they recovered a loaded .357 Magnum handgun and ammunition, almost 38 grams of crack cocaine, cash and digital scales. O’Neil Grant, 24, of McSweeney Crescent in Ajax is charged with eight drug and weap- ons offences. NO DIPLOMA?

Durham recently won the gold recycling systems excellence award for its new Material Recovery Facility (MRF) from the Solid Waste Management Association of North America. The facility, which opened in 2007, can pro- cess up to 115,000 tonnes of recyclables every year. “It is a significant accomplishment that the Region was chosen for this award over major international cities in North America,” said works committee chairman and Clarington Councillor Charlie Trim. The Region also recently picked up some hardware from the Recycling Council of On- tario. Again for the MRF, Durham received the silver award in the waste diversion operator category. “It is interesting to note here that the gold award went to Metro Municipal Recycling, the company that operates the facility. So the Re- gion was technically honoured twice for the same building,” said Coun. Trim. Durham also won the bronze award in the sustainable municipality category for its work on partnering with grocery stores to recycle plastic grocery bags. As to why the MRF is so successful, Durham’s manager of waste management Craig Bartlett said it’s because it uses the latest technology, dual-functioning optical sorters. The Region was the first to use the technology in Canada. “It uses technology that can detect the kinds of plastics that are coming across,” said Mr. Bartlett. The sorters can tell the difference be- tween plastic water bottles and margarine tubs, two plastics that have to be sorted and sepa- rated for the Region to get the maximum value for the material. “It’s not hands that are sorting this, it’s elec- tronic equipment and state-of-the-art technol- ogy,” said Mr. Bartlett. But, overall, Mr. Bartlett doesn’t attribute the win to the machines, but to the dedication residents of the Region have for recycling. “It’s not the Region that’s winning these awards, it’s the residents of Durham,” said Mr. Bartlett.

Ajax celebrates storytelling at Nov. 22 library event She’s Pickering’s brightest star By Danielle Bergeron Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — Kelly Bain isn’t your average high school teenager. She is well-rounded in academics, sports and extracurricular activi- ties. It was the final area that she ex- celled in on Nov. 1 at the Pickering Starz 2008 Finals, where she was crowned the winner. It was Bain’s third time in the competition, and she placed third both pre- vious times. “I love sing- ing,” Bain said. “It’s a lot of fun and I like being able to express myself through different songs.” The Grade 11 Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School student started sing- ing in Grade 3. She was a part of her school’s choir in the talent show, but when her teacher heard her voice, she suggested Bain sing solo. Bain sang ‘Annie’ and has been singing ever since. Being a part of three different choirs at school is no easy feat. She sings in the jazz and concert choirs and in the women’s ensemble. “During the school year, I balance my grades, sing- ing, and soccer,” Bain said. Her dream career would be to become a famous singer. “I think it would be amazing to be living my dream doing some- thing that I love,” she said. “It would be really cool to be famous. Every- body knows you and your music is listened to by tons of people.” Canadian Idol is the next step for Bain. Last year, she was just one month shy of the audition age cut-off. “All my friends keep telling me I should try out for Canadian Idol and I’ve thought about it a lot. I might go with some friends this year and try out just to see what happens,” Bain said. Aside from singing, Bain is ob- sessed with soccer. She loves play- ing and, when not singing, she is most likely playing the sport.

Boldly going into the abstract with Karen Sloan By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com PORT PERRY — Walking into the new exhibit at the Kent Farndale Gallery made me think I’d stepped through the looking glass again. Gracing the walls of the gallery were bright, bold and colourful paintings which instantly made me think of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, both the book by Lewis Carroll and the play based on that book. Karen Sloan has created paint- ings that could have come from the other side of the mirror, with a little Salvador Dali thrown in, as pho- tographer Celia Klemenz noted. Or perhaps, Picasso. In many paintings, there’s a green chair that looks like it could have been Alice’s throne. The floors are diamond-patterned and aren’t quite level. There are martini glasses that looked like they were melted and then flash frozen. In most paintings, there are curtains blowing in the breeze, but the win- dows are shut while the lamp pull- chains are blowing in the other di- rection. And the watermelon looks distinctly out of whack. Sloan, who grew up in Toronto but now lives in the Haliburton area, was pleased to hear my reac- tion. Alice in Wonderland, it turns out, is one of her favourites and an influence, as are artists like Dali and Picasso who bent the rules in the art world, in more ways than one. Oh and, Dr. Seuss, too. “It’s a sense of humour,” Sloan said in describing her work. “Al- though I take my painting seriously, I paint with a sense of humour.” She said she has many influ- ences including music and colour. You’ll find jazz details throughout her paintings, not surprising since Sloan listens to jazz and the Rat Pack music while she works. “I do like colour,” she said. “A lot of people are afraid of it but I like to paint with it. But I find music is the biggest influence. Jazz itself is abstract so that’s part of how it evolves.” Once a floral designer, interior designer and horticulturist, Sloan includes her past in her works. Flow- ers, interiors, furniture, landscapes are common in her paintings. Most of the furniture has an antique fla- vour, reflecting her uncle’s farm- house, which was packed with an- tiques. And that green chair? “This chair is from my childhood, at least, from my past. I can’t seem to purge the chair,” Sloan said. She usually paints rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, which she sees as sanctuary, a place of peace and comfort, she said. She sketches the ideas that come into her head, getting them just right before painting them. She noted children generally like her work, attracted by the co- lour and fantasy aspect. She’d like to someday illustrate children’s books. As to how she developed her jazzy, edgy style, she said she just knew she wanted to do something different, something fun. Her works can be found in private and corporate collections across Canada, the US, Britain, Australia, Holland, Mexico and South Africa. Singer Prince has purchased her work. Her exhibit, titled, appropriately, Inside and Out, continues at the gallery, located in Scugog Memorial Public Library, until Nov. 27. Durham author launches book AJAX — ‘It’s a dog’s life’. That’s the title of Corinna Boll- mann’s new book on empowering pet owners to make confident deci- sions. The book includes informa- tion on holistic pet care, pet foods and natural remedies for all your furry loved ones. A true dog lover, Corinna Boll- mann opened her own Doggie Minder daycare and boarding facil- ity in Whitby, providing a no-crating environment where pets are able to interact socially while getting their exercise. She also teaches a First Aid for Pets course at her Doggie Minder facility. Her book launch is on Nov. 15 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Chapters in the Durham Centre, 90 Kingston Rd., Ajax.

Lady Cougars squeak into final Pickering High Trojans battle hard to dethrone Notre Dame in senior girls’ hoops semis By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — The underdog Pickering High School Trojans put the undefeated and reigning Durham Region champion Notre Dame Lady Cougars on notice they wouldn’t go down without a battle. In a physical, high-intensity, high-tempo affair, played in front of a large crowd at the north Ajax school, the Trojans gave the 12-0 Cougars all they could handle and nearly pulled off an improbable senior girls’ basket- ball semifinal upset on Monday afternoon. Almost. To use football vernacular, the Lady Cougars bent but didn’t break under the relentless de- fensive pressure supplied by a fired-up Trojans squad. In the end, Notre Dame hung on for a 40-37 victory to send the Lady Cougars to their fourth consecu- tive appearance in the Lake On- tario Secondary School Athlet- ics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ senior girls’ final. The Trojans had their chances late to dethrone the champs, in- cluding an open three-pointer as time wound down. Pickering point guard Teanna Rowe tossed up a desperation trey, but the ball hit back iron and fell off to the side of the basket, gathered in by a Notre Dame defender, who held on until time ran out. Following the contest, Trojans’ coach Mike Gordensky could only admire the determined effort put forth by his squad. He correctly noted a few breaks and it might have been Pickering High headed to Uxbridge on Wednesday night to play for a LOSSA title. “I’m proud of our girls. They worked hard. This is tough gym to play in. We knew that they had all the pressure because they were the favourites. I couldn’t ask for us to play any better or any tougher. All we needed was two missed layups and we win by one. They capitalized on our turnovers and we didn’t capital- ize on theirs.” Lady Cougars’ coach Rose Booker said it was a battle from the opening tip to the final Pickering possession. She noted her charges succumbed to a bout of nerves, which nearly cost them Sports briefs NOVEMBER 12, 2008 Ajax school quarter-finalists AJAX — The Pickering High School Trojans girls’ field hockey squad earned their way to the quar- ter-finals of the provincial champion- ships in Peterborough last weekend. The unseeded Trojans’ girls faced second-seeded Forest Heights in the quarter-final, losing 2-0 on Friday at the 16-team Ontario Federation of School Athletic As- sociations (OFSAA) championships. Pickering High finished second in Pool ‘A’, posting a 1-1-1 record. In Game 1, the Trojans dropped a 2-0 decision to top seed and eventual OFSAA champion St. John’s-Kilmar- nock of Breslau, near Kitchener-Wa- terloo. In Game 2, they played to a 1-1 draw with Michael Power-St. Joseph of Toronto. Emmy Emerson scored the Pickering goal. In their final pool game, the Tro- jans downed Frontenac from Kingston 3-0. Samantha Gray scored twice; Alana Raymond added one. Blue crew scores close hoops win A J A X — Team Blue was anything but blue after scoring a victory over St. Louis Bar and Grill in Ajax Ladies’ Recreation Basketball League action last week. Team Blue defeated the grillers 29-25 in a competitive contest. Lar- issa Karimwabo paced ‘Blue’ with a 12-point effort. Melanie Wilson scored 12 for St. Louis, followed by Louise Da Re with five. In the other contest of the night, Tom’s No Frills posted a 40-31 victory over Team Green. Samantha McCon- nell popped in 14 for Tom’s. Hannah Van de kemp scored in double figures for ‘Green’ with 10.

Notre Dame juniors also to play for LOSSA ‘AAAA’ basketball title AJAX — The Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Lady Cougars’ junior girls’ team has virtually mirrored the senior team’s court perfor- mance this year. The Lady Cougars junior are also undefeated in LOSSA ‘AAAA’ bas- ketball this season, and have also advanced to the final in Uxbridge on Wednesday night. The Notre Dame juniors defeated the Uxbridge Secondary School Tigers 46-30 in semifinal action at Notre Dame on Monday. Jenna Bennett paced the Lady Cougars with 16 points. The Lady Cougars play the Pickering High School Trojans in the junior final at Uxbridge at 5:30 p.m. The Trojans earned their way to the final after defeating the Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas 31-27. ✦ See Notre, Page 18 PASSION.

She did, however, credit her charges with executing on the floor when it mattered most. “I think it was a case of ner- vousness,” said Booker of the team’s low shooting percentage in the semifinal. “They shot bet- ter from the floor than we did today.” The game plan, said Booker, was to keep Pickering’s wunder- kind guard Adriana Allen from being a one-woman wrecking crew. In fact, the Lady Cougars worked on defensive schemes the night before Monday’s semi- final to keep Allen in check. As expected, Allen connected for a game-high 22 points, with Lady Cougars’ Brianna Thomas doing a solid job of guarding the talented offensive threat. The Trojans, however, weren’t able to muster enough secondary scor- ing. “We were great defensively, but the offence was a bit of a problem,” said Gordensky. “Obviously, Adriana is a superstar, but we needed one or two girls to step up and give us some bas- kets and they did, but not enough.” An elated Booker gave kudos to her players for an undefeated LOSSA season to date and a shot at a second straight title. “It’s a pretty good accomplish- ment for our girls; we’re excited. We wanted to get back to the LOSSA championship game, es- pecially for our graduating play- ers, who’ve put so much into our program.” Lady Cougars’ centre Nicholle McKenzie netted 14 in the semi- final. Monique Johnson added nine points. Notre Dame meets Pickering’s Dunbarton High School Spartans in the LOSSA ‘AAAA’ final at Ux- bridge Secondary School tonight, Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m. The Spartans earned their way to the title game with a 46-34 vic- tory over Whitby’s Sinclair Sec- ondary School Celtics in Whitby, also on Monday.

University of Western Ontario midfielder Scott Cameron was named an OUA West Division first- team all-star. Cameron completed his fourth season with the UWO Mustangs men’s soccer team. Meanwhile, Craig Deebank, a third-year striker with the Carleton University Ravens of Ottawa, was named as an OUA East Division second team all-star. Deebank was one of six players from the Ravens to earn all-star nods. Pickering soccer players named OUA all-stars Education Advertising Feature FROM SIZZLE TO FIZZLE Every school year begins with students, par- ents and teachers who are full of optimism and committed to making this the best year ever. Unfortunately, for some, it doesn’t take long for the sizzle to fi zzle and for students to fall be- hind, leading to anxiety, stress and frustration for students, their parents and even for some teachers. Too often parents expect miracles Chances are that if your child had trouble with a subject last year and didn’t work on it over the summer, the challenges could be even more overwhelming and demoralizing in the new school year. If you wait until the fi rst report card, it’s often too late. Let’s help our children avoid falling behind this year then trying to play catch-up all year by quickly recognizing the symptoms of academic challenges. Parents often allow six to eight weeks for a “settling in” period but doing so can be detrimental to a student’s learning momentum. By the time October rolls around, some students are already be- coming frustrated and the learning curve is too steep. All of a sudden, minor problems become major obstacles to success, and very stressful situations develop for ev- eryone involved. Make goal setting a family affair It’s critical to set goals early to en- sure your child is happy and has the confi dence and know-how to thrive and enjoy school. Setting goals helps motivate students, give purpose to their work, and better plan their time. Oxford recom- mends that parents and children set goals for success together because “we decisions” are better than “me decisions”. By collaborating during goal setting, parents and kids can open the lines of communication. To begin, simply sit down with your child, review last year, let him tell you about his goals for the new school year. Listen carefully to what your child would like to strive for and achieve. Be supportive, respectful and encouraging. Achievable, Measurable, Believable Goals Work with your child to develop and set goals that are relevant, but most importantly the goals must be achievable, measurable and be- lievable. This is critical and the underlying key to setting successful goals. Once the goals are set, the time is right to build a reasonable, re- alistic plan to achieve them and measure suc- cess. Periodic reviews between you and your child about how he/ she is doing will keep the positive momentum going.
