Stop the Stink is opposed to the location of an odour control facility for the York-Durham sewer facility.Pickering councillors raise a stink BUT DURHAM WON’T HALT PROCESS ON ODOUR CONTROL FACILITY BY KEITH GILLIGAN AND KRISTEN CALIS kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Less than a week after regional council turned its nose up at a request for a time- out in dealing with an odour control facility for the ‘Big Pipe’ expansion, Pickering council put its foot down. Durham councillors last Wednesday voted down a request from its Pickering members to stop the environmental assessment process so completed studies can be reviewed. York Region has completed an EA for the project and submit- ted it to the provincial environment ministry in late August. Pickering residents and politicians are upset the EA was filed without first being con- sidered by Durham council and requested the EA process be put on hold for about four months so opponents of the expansion can review all the information. Despite the Region’s refusal, Pickering coun- cil agreed Monday to petition the Minister of the Environment to reject the EA, and if he doesn’t, launch a judicial review.

Waiting list tops 4,000 names BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- “Indefinite.” That’s the answer someone would receive if they went to the Ajax Municipal Housing Corporation and asked how long they would have to wait for a place to live. Klaus Heuse, the general manager of the Ajax Municipal Housing Corporation, says subsidized housing is “next to impossible. “We used to tell people the wait was three to five years. Now we tell them it’s indefinite,” Mr. Heuse says. The waiting list has more than 4,000 names, including seniors, couples and singles, says Mary Menzies, the director of housing ser- vices for Durham. “We still have people walk- ing into our office and are surprised a subsi- dy isn’t available,” she says. “People are sur- prised to walk in the door and find there’s a wait and that’s frustrating.” Debbie McCord, the manager of Durham’s social housing operations, says people could be on the waiting list anywhere from three to 10 years. People are desperate for housing help, she says. “Every day we hear stories of families being uprooted, or they’re doubling up in housing. Children are being uprooted,” Ms. McCord says. “They’re losing the security of a roof over their head.” “We haven’t really seen a large change from last year,” Ms. Menzies says. “It’s remained fairly consistent. We haven’t detected more people applying.” It could rise, she notes, “as people start using (up) their assets.” People have been doubling up with fam- ily “say for six months, until they get back on their feet.” For a single person, it’s an “extremely long wait, even if they’re living in an abusive situa- tion,” Ms. Menzies states. The three-year wait, “that’s if somebody is flexible about where they want to live,” Ms. Menzies says. “If they want to live in Ajax or Pickering, the wait is longer. A lot of people want to live there.” Mr. Heuse agrees that people are “moving back with family more so than before. Any given week, I’m getting phone calls from peo- ple who say they’ve been laid off. We work with them. “They move in with family and friends. They’ve never been in this fix, this shortage, in quite a few years,” he says. About 15 years ago, shortly after the Mike Harris govern- ment was elected, there was a cessation of social housing projects, he notes. Some proj- ects that had been in the planning stages for years weren’t built, while others were mothballed completely. “It all came to an abrupt halt,” Mr. Heuse says. “In 2000, we started the process of ‘what can we build’?” It took the better part of a decade to get approval for an 82-unit project on Station Street in Ajax, he says. They are part of 160 affordable housing units announced by the Province late last month. The other projects include three in Oshawa, a 32-unit building, 29 units and 12 units. There’s also a five-unit project in Uxbridge for seniors. “This is the first time social housing will be built in 15 years,” Ms. McCord notes. “There’s a good chance, in my position, I’m not going to see this happen again,” Mr. Heuse says of new housing being built. Getting housing built “requires all levels of government, including the Region,” he notes. ••• Wayne and Ellen live in a semi-detached house in Oshawa with their seven-year-old daughter and two-year-old son. They’ve lived in the house for two years, having previously lived in a two-bedroom apartment. Wayne, (not his real name), says the fam- ily was thinking “‘What are we going to do? There’s no room here. We had the foresight to put in an application.” Ellen is a stay-at-home mother, while Wayne had worked at a fibreglass company, but had to leave for medical reasons. Their unit is ‘rent-geared-to-income’ and they pay less than $500 a month. “It’s a great thing, I tell ya, when money is a little tight,” Wayne says. “The timing was perfect, that’s for sure,” says Ellen, not- ing they moved in shortly after their son was born. “We were living in a cramped two bedroom.” “The provincial and federal govern- ments need to be work- ing together to do more,” Wayne says. During the economic downturn “people are hurting,” says Ellen. “We had the foresight to put an application in in advance. We didn’t need it at the time.” They’ll stay in the house “probably until he (their son) is at least school age. We’re happy here.” Wayne is receiving Employment Insurance and he also has to pay child support for two other children. Rent on their home would probably run about $1,200 a month at mar- ket rates, he says. “No, we could never afford that.” He has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, having worked in a steel mill and a fibreglass plant. “I’ve got to get into an entire- ly new line of work,” Wayne says. ••• Units that go for market rent are still plenti- ful, Mr. Heuse says. “It’s still possible to have your name on the list and have a house in a few months.” The Region has about 6,800 total units, with about 4,300 offering some level of subsidy. “Thirty units a month become available anywhere in Durham,” Ms. Menzies says, adding “a lot” are in buildings for seniors. The department gets about 175 new appli- cations each month for subsidized housing, she adds. Mr. Heuse says the organization tries to keep market rents “a little below” what the market charges. A two-bedroom rents for $900, with the market charging about $1,000. “The big problem in the last couple of years, people can’t afford to pay rent. ‘What do I do?’” he says. “We work with them,” he says.

DURHAM’S LARGEST PRE-OWNED CAR DEALERSHIP STARTING FROM STARTING FROM STARTING FROM STARTING FROM CORRECTION NOTICE Local agency trying desperately to avoid service cuts BY JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Durham Children’s Aid Society is staring down a $3.9 million bud- get shortfall for 2009/2010, but officials hope to make it to the end of the fiscal year without making service cuts. Wanda Secord, executive director of Dur- ham CAS, said the situation is part of a province-wide “funding crisis” in the child welfare system, pointing to a government decision to reduce annual funding alloca- tions and eliminate end-of-year funding top-ups that cover what agencies spend beyond their budgets. “The thing that is important to under- stand is that there is no opportunity for us to start waiting lists or not provide servic- es,” she said, stressing that everything Dur- ham CAS does is mandated by the govern- ment. “The (provincial) government is saying you have to do all these things, and do it with less.” Forty-nine out of 53 children’s aid societ- ies in Ontario are facing budget shortfalls this year and 37 of those -- including Dur- ham CAS -- are requesting a ministerial review of their funding. The Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies raised the alarm this week, saying some societies are expecting to run out of money by November, others in January. The association said some could face dif- ficulty responding to high-risk child abuse allegations within the mandated timelines, and that case workers may not be able to assess the well-being of children as fre- quently. Ms. Secord called the situation in Dur- ham “worrisome,” but said she does not expect services to be compromised. “We are probably going to get to the end of our fiscal year with very careful manage- ment of our budget, but some agencies are in a totally different spot, they’re in very dire straits,” she said. “We are looking everywhere possible in our budget before we even consider reduc- ing services...that would be something that would be the very last resort.” Durham MPP John O’Toole said the end- of-year funding top-ups are vital, because it is difficult for the children’s aid societies to predict their funding needs. “Especially with this economy, demand for services will go up; there isn’t an accurate way to forecast that so there needs to be flexibil- ity.” He noted MPPs from across Durham plan to meet with Durham CAS officials next month. Kevin Spafford, a spokesman for the Min- istry of Child and Youth Services, said prov- ince-wide funding for children’s aid societ- ies increased $30 million over last year and $385 million since the Liberals took office in 2003. He said the ministry couldn’t come through with end-of-year funding, because of “fiscal circumstances”. “The growth is not sustainable,” he said, referring to the increased funding needs for child welfare services. Two major reforms -- the Child Wel- fare Reform and the Child Welfare Trans- formation -- both resulted in the need for increased government funding, because they either increased the number of chil- dren brought into care, or required more children’s aid staff resources. Mr. Spafford said a commission is being established to work with Ontario children’s aid societies and the government on a long- term funding strategy.

The suspect opened the cash register, took some cash and headed south. He’s described as male, 5’9”, 180 lbs., with a medium build and a dark com- plexion with brown eyes. He was dressed in black with a bandana covering his face and spoke in a deep voice. In the second incident, , two young men entered the Cash Store on Harwood Ave- nue South on Oct. 19 around 9:20 a.m. and demanded money.

Durham Regional Police report a 20-year- old Pickering man and a 16-year-old friend were walking through the parking lot of the Amberlea Shopping Centre around 9:20 p.m. when they were approached by three men. About 40 minutes later, the same two men were approached by the same three males on Whites Road. The suspects ordered the victims to turn over their property. The vic- tims refused and the younger one tried to flee but was caught by one of the suspects. The other two suspects began punch- ing the 20-year-old and then struck him in the face several times with a handgun. The 20-year-old victim’s wallet, keys and a cell phone were stolen. Police were called and officers searched the area but no arrests were made. The first suspect is described as male, black, about six-feet one-inch tall, 20 to 25 years old, medium build, 180 pounds. He was brandishing a handgun. The second suspect is described as male, black, with a heavy build, about 20 to 25 years old, about five-feet eight-inches tall, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants. The third suspect is described as male, white, 18 to 22 years old, six-feet tall, 190 pounds, medium build, wearing a white- hooded sweatshirt. All three spoke English and were seen driving a older model, four-door dark vehi- cle with a white front bumper.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions News Advertiser • October 22, 20096 P Pickering residents, businesses have critical role in flu fight The annual flu season has arrived in unusual fashion this year, thanks to the additional H1N1 strain. Along with increased fear, this flu sea- son’s return has brought with it a whole lot of uncertainty for ordinary Durham residents who are wondering when, or even if, they’ll be eligible for vaccination. Durham Region officials provided some clarity this week with the announcement of local influenza vaccination clinics for seniors to inoculate them against the sea- sonal flu. As a higher-risk group, seniors are among the first to be vaccinated. The H1N1 vaccine, however, isn’t expected to be rolled out to the larger Durham community until later this year. Much of the confusion that exists today is rooted in a recent debate in the medi- cal community over the effectiveness of the seasonal vaccine while H1N1 circu- lates. While that debate clouded the issue for those awaiting annual vaccinations, Durham medical officials deserve credit for moving ahead as quickly as possible with the seasonal vaccine while waiting for the federal government to approve the new H1N1 for release, a decision expect- ed this week. But confronting influenza and mitigat- ing its spread won’t be achieved through vaccination programs alone. Each one of us must take responsible preventive measures to reduce infection. That can be done through regular and vigorous hand-washing throughout the day, the use of hand sanitizers, coughing and sneezing into a sleeve or tissue, and reducing physical contact when neces- sary. Businesses, too, have an obligation to acknowledge that this flu season is dif- ferent and could result in higher than average work absences. To that end, we encourage employers to ease traditional restrictions and employees to stay home if they are ill. Durham Chairman Roger Anderson made the point quite succinctly last week before a Whitby business audience, not- ing that employers can cross-train staff for critical roles and make other prepara- tions to deal with a greater incidence of illness. In the simplest terms, common sense and a bit of compassion will go a long way in reducing the effects of both sea- sonal flu and the H1N1 strain. Individual and collective efforts will see us through, whether at home or at work. DEVELOPMENT Proposed Seaton development will be anything but sustainable To the editor: Don’t be fooled by the provincial central development plan for Seaton in Pickering. The provincial government is giving away huge amounts of provincially owned land to developers in Pickering. They say it’s to save the Oak Ridges Moraine. Don’t be fooled by the spin doc- tors. Seaton land is more environmental- ly sensitive that any land in the greenbelt area. The Province conducted a non-com- prehensive “class” Environmental Assess- ment that did not fully examine the effects of urban development on the 111 wetlands, 38 species of fish, three cold-water streams, Duffin creek, 38-per cent woodlots, wildlife habitat and three aquifers in Seaton. The Province’s resulting Central Pickering Development Plan will fragment Seaton into 13 neighbourhoods surrounded by natural corridors. But 42 roads, bridges and utilities will cross the natural corridors to connect those neighbourhoods. Dr. Ken Howard, a hydro-geologist in a review of the provincial plan, says the pro- vincial plan ignores the complex hydro- geological systems, the sensitive aquifers and the potential long-term impacts of urbanization on the quantity and quality of water in local wells and river systems. From a hydro-geological standpoint, the pro- vincial plan as it currently exists, is unac- ceptable. A full individual environmental assessment would have included a com- plete sub-watershed study and the validity of the provincial plan for Seaton. The City of Pickering has not demanded a complete sub-watershed study. The City of Pickering does not have any development sustainability laws to this day. Dalai Lama once said people know how to solve problems like hunger and environmental degradation but they don’t act. Therefore the biggest challenge of our time is making bystanders take action. Is our natural environment not worth our best effort? David Steele, Pickering TAXES Durham Region property tax bandits hard at work To the editor: Once again, the Region is proposing to continue mismanaging and wasting our tax dollars by considering an increase to our property tax by an additional 3.5 per cent on top of the already high tax rate during a period of zero inflation/no growth record- ed by Ottawa. Durham residents deserve tax fairness consistent with similar GTA communities. Status quo and business as usual is not a viable option to our future. Ramzi Odeh Oshawa WASTE Pickering environment event fundamentally flawed To the editor: I recently attended Durham Region’s environment days in Pickering after read- ing about it in the News Advertiser. It was my intention to drop off a dozen small batteries and a litre of paint for a friend who lives nearby. As I attempted to walk our modest offering in for drop-off, I was told that I would have to join a line of idling vehicles that stretched to the end of the road, then snaked itself north as far as the eye could see without the benefit of any movement. Incredulous, I simply left the area shak- ing my head at the tremendous waste of time, energy and unnecessary pollution at what had effectively become the world’s biggest drive-through. It is an absolute travesty that this event was promoted as an environment day. I have seldom encountered an event that was so fundamentally flawed in its execu- tion. Where is the common sense?

Member- ships have more than doubled. The organi- zation has been able to hire additional staff and the Board has launched initiatives like the Eco-Business program for members. “We’ve provided more value, more events,” she said. The results she’s managed to get at the helm earned Ms. McKay the title of Execu- tive of the Year by her peers in the Chamber of Commerce Executives of Canada. It’s fairly well known that the board was going through a tumultuous period and there were financial difficulties when Ms. McKay started, said Dave Stell, the board’s communications specialist. The board of directors was looking for someone who would could rebuild and turn things around and they got even more than they bargained for. “She’s exceeded expectations,” he said. “(The board) has grown in leaps and bounds.” Besides the letter Mr. Terry wrote as part of the application for the award, Ms. McKay also received unanimous support from her four-member staff and from the board’s president John G. Smith. “It is very flattering to have their confi- dence.” But it’s more than trust. Ms. McKay is capable of doing her job; she’s the per- fect person for the role, said Mr. Stell, who describes his boss as wonderful, knowl- edgeable and a cheerleader for her employ- ees. “Kathy’s an amazing boss,” he said. “She’s by far one of the best people I’ve ever worked with.” And it seems like the feeling is mutual. “It’s such a great, cohesive, thoughtful unit,” Ms. McKay said. “I just love coming here.” newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 22, 20097 AP A L’S WEST INDIAN FOOD MART 1660 KINGSTON RD.

A parent recently took issue with Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird and wanted the Toronto Dis- trict School Board to drop it from the cur- riculum. Why is it so many of us need to have a goad to kick against? What is it that drives normally happy people to seek things to struggle with? To draw unwanted things into their lives to complain about? Is it boredom? Does it provide them with a sense of meaning? Purpose? If so, surely there must be a better way to go about it. And the other route has to be more pleasurable. There is an immutable polarity in this life. For everything you dis- like, there must be something you adore. For everything you want excluded, there must be something you wish to embrace. For every Captain there must be a Tennille. The question is, which do you choose to look at? Where and how are you using your energies? These are vital questions, well worth ask- ing. Happiness hangs in the balance. A big tip-off, I think, is do you feel like your life is getting smaller or larger? Do you smile more than you frown? Are you aware of the bigger, better picture? If not, look up from your life. Why focus on your difficul- ties with one particular novel, for instance, when you might instead be filled with the delight of knowing that you live in a part of the world that is overflowing with books? Why decry someone else’s opinion or viewpoint when you are blessed to live in a society that encourages us all to have one? Why be angry or upset at all when you don’t need to be? I’m not advocating a life devoid of conflict or contrast. That’s a slow death by bore- dom. And contrast is essential for growth. How do you know what you like until you butt heads with what you don’t like? The problem seems to be that once we’ve delineated what we don’t like, so many of us seem to want to wallow in it. The bril- liant philosopher/essayist Joseph Camp- bell encouraged us to ‘Follow your bliss’. In other words, turn and keep turning towards what feels good, what delights you, what ignites you. Not what angers you or gets your hackles up. Even a newborn will pull his hand away from a hot stove. Bless the irritant that made clearer your joy and move in the direction of fun. The operative word there, by the by, is ‘move’. A healthy life needs to be in motion. Dwelling on something, stewing over something, is stagnation ... the opposite of growth. Which, incidentally, I believe is defined as ‘death’ ... or daytime television. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Of course, Campbell also said ‘The adventure you’re ready for is the one you get’. Which is probably why I haven’t won the lottery yet. But also nicely lets most of us off the hook in terms of where we’re at in all of this. Ultimately, there’s no right or wrong. Only variations on a theme. Happy or sad, joyful or grumpy, loving or embittered, we are all exactly where we need to be on this ride. Learning what lessons we are ready to learn and responding to our ‘adventures’ in the best way we know how. And for some folks, I suppose, that includes ban- ning books. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. What are you doing to save energy?

Though I had a few shots of kids doing stunts, flips and jumps, it was the shadows that were cast by a skateboarder that caught my eye. The symmetry of a skater comfortable on his board, the balance of light and shadow and my choice of timing to get the shot, along with a bit of an angle, all added up to a dynamic photo.

CELIA KLEMENZ / BEHIND THE LENS It’s not often a press release comes in from the Durham Regional Police Service which leaves us in the newsroom scratching our heads. But a release last Friday had us doing just that and asking ourselves if it was a mistake. It dealt with charges against the owners of an Oshawa convenience store including pos- session of a controlled substance. The release also stated the couple was “allegedly selling illegal drugs over the counter.” The release went on to say officers locat- ed a candy bucket containing individually wrapped plastic bags of oxycodon tablets and other illegal drugs. It didn’t provide names of the accused or the name of the store but added it was located on Ritson Road in Oshawa near a local public school. A release like this required more than just a quick rewrite so crime reporter Jeff Mitch- ell threw on his coat and headed over to the store, which wasn’t hard to find. The own- ers, who refused to give their names, were shocked at the details provided by police but admitted there was a bag of marijuana and other drugs at the back of the store. They also noted they had not been held for a bail hear- ing and the store was open for business the same day they had been charged. When contacted for comment, a police spokeswoman admitted there was no “con- crete evidence” drugs had been sold at the store and the couple were never charged with trafficking. The release contained a lot of con- tradictions but of even more concern to us was the fact the police did not name the cou- ple. The spokeswoman said the names were withheld to protect the identity of the cou- ple’s three children. That argument could apply to any person charged and I have a feeling one of the offi- cers made a personal call in this case, some- thing they should never do. We debated a long time how to write this for our readers and in the end we decided to give the couple and police their say and leave the final decision where it usually rests, with the courts.

Release had fishy smell MIKE JOHNSTON newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 21, 20098 P Official estimates 500,000 gallons would have to be used BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- An Ajax family received a shock recently when its water bill from Durham Region arrived in the mail. The DeBique family’s bill for the three months from Jan. 9 to April 9, 2009 totalled $3,529.14. Jim Clapp, the Region’s finance com- missioner, estimated between 400,000 to 500,000 gallons of water would have to be used to get a bill that high. Speaking to Regional Council’s finance committee recently, Jacqueline DeBique asked that the bill be reconsidered. “We’re modest water users,” she said. Two adults and one child live in the house, Ms. DeBique noted, adding there’s no pool or sprinkler system, no pipes have burst. “Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing unusual has happened since.” Regional officials visited and deter- mined the water meter was operating properly, she said. “Even someone with a pool wouldn’t use that much water,” Ms. DeBique stat- ed. The huge bill is “contrary to the usage pattern,” she stated. “The bill is unjusti- fied. The bill is a cost our household sim- ply cannot afford.” In a letter to the finance department’s billing section, she wrote, “Nothing out of the ordinary has occurred on our prop- erty or in our home during this time or in the period prior. “In these tough economic times, it is an added burden to our household to accommodate this exorbitant, unexpect- ed and unwarranted expense,” she stat- ed. The DeBiques are reluctant to enter into a payment plan, saying “we believe that doing so is an admission of wrong- doing”. For a three-month billing period, the family typically used about 45 cubic metres of water. The bill was for 1,900 cubic metres. After meeting with Regional staff, the bill was reduced to $2,600, she said. “That’s a great first step, but it’s still too high.” “It certainly does seem to be an unusual bill of this sort,” committee chairwoman and Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce said. “Let’s take one more look at this,” Ms. Pearce added. It was referred back to staff for further investigation. REGION Huge water bill floods Ajax family JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Jacqueline DeBique got a water bill recently for $3,529.14.

Hockey, curling, volleyball on tap for winter event BY JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- After years of offering spring events -- everything from badminton to bocce ball -- the Durham Region Senior Games is branching out into winter fare. Organizers are hoping to start small, with hockey, curling and indoor volley- ball as this year’s winter offerings. “We want to expand the games and get more people involved,” said Bob Taylor, co-chairman of the games. “You would be surprised how many seniors haven’t heard of us. The more events we have, the more people we’re going to have partici- pating.” Mr. Taylor noted the Ontario Senior Games is hosting Actifest 2010 in Oshawa next summer. He added it would be great to raise the profile of all senior sports in advance of that event. Organizers have already scheduled a winter volleyball tournament for Nov. 14 at Lakeside Public School in Ajax and are looking for players to compete in the men’s, women’s and co-ed divisions. The entry deadline is Nov. 7. A hockey tournament and curling bon- spiel are tentatively being planned for late November, if there are enough interested participants. Both individuals and teams are welcome. Players must be 55 or older and residents of Durham Region. If the winter events prove to be a suc- cess, Mr. Taylor said organizers will look at adding more winter sports and games next year. Every spring, the Durham Region Senior Games take place at locations throughout the region. Last year saw nearly 500 local residents age 55 and over compete in 19 events. The local games are run under the aus- pices of the Ontario Senior Games Asso- ciation, with the aim of helping older adults improve their physical and men- tal well-being and increase social inter- action. Sanctioned events include physi- cal games like swimming, skiing, golf and tennis, and non-physical activities such as card games.

Namely, playing in a prestigious internation- al tournament and securing a scholarship. Beginning next month both of those desires can come off the list. The first opportunity will come during the week of Nov. 1-8 when the Pickering resident will represent Canada East at the 2008 World Junior A Challenge in Sum- merside, PEI. The second milestone will come later in the month when he signs a letter of intent to join the Lake Superior State hockey program on a scholarship beginning in the fall of 2010. Campbell was notified late last week about his inclusion on Canada East for the interna- tional tournament that will include Canada West, Belarus, the United States, Russia and Sweden. “I’ve had it in my head right from the sum- mer training,” he says of playing for the team that will be coached by former Toronto Maple Leaf defenceman Todd Gill. “This was one of my goals that I set from the beginning of the season to be a part of this team. “I knew I had a good shot as long as I had a pretty good start to the season.” His start to the season has been better than the ‘pretty good’ he was aiming for. The 18- year-old leads the Vaughan Vipers of the Ontario Jr. A Hockey League in scoring, post- ing 12-11-23 totals in the 14 games he has played in. Those numbers follow the 24-42-66 totals he posted last season as a rookie with the hockey club. While he impressed at a Canada East evalua- tion camp held in Richmond Hill, one of three such camps that attracted 157 hopefuls, he was aware that the coaching staff would be out scouting games in the early going of the regu- lar season. “There’s always pressure,” he says of playing under a microscope. “The last few games it’s been in my mind that someone’s watching and if you put it into your routine, then you’re able to stick with your game and not try to do too much on the ice.” Canada East has won a medal at all three pre- vious World Junior A Challenges, settling for silver in 2006 (Saskatchewan) and 2007 (Brit- ish Columbia) and bronze last year in Alberta. When he returns from the east coast, he expects to put pen to paper with Lake Superior State, honouring a verbal commitment he has already made to the school. “I like the fact that they are a small school,” he says of his decision to attend the Sault Ste. Marie school over the six or seven others that showed interest in him. “They showed a lot of interest and I feel I’m going to fit best into their program compared to others. He plans to study general arts, but is unde- cided on a major. For now, he is attending Dur- ham College part time, studying marketing and sociology.newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 22, 200913 APSportsBrad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.com HOCKEY Campbell makes impression PHOTO BY LAURA STANLEY PICKERING -- Colin Campbell has been added to the Canada East junior hockey roster and will compete in the 2009 World Junior A Challenge in Summerside, PEI. Campbell has also verbally committed to a full scholarship to Lake Superior State. This was one of my goals that I set from the beginning of the season to be a part of this team. Colin Campbell FOOTBALL Andrews leads Bishops to football win over St. Francis ANTIGONISH, N.S. -- A pair of touchdown runs by fourth-year quar- terback Jesse Andrews of Pickering led the Bishop’s Gaiters to a 33-12 victory over the No. 6-ranked St. Francis Xavier X-Men in CIS football action Saturday. The crowd of 1,700 at Oland Sta- dium saw the Gaiters take the Bigg Bowl for the first time and remain in the QUFL playoff race. Andrews, a St. Mary Catholic Secondary School grad, threw for the Gaiters’ two other touchdowns, and finished with 128 rushing yards and 148 passing yards. Andrews scored his first major on a 20-yard scamper with 11:39 left to put the Gaiters up 16-3. Four plays later, after a sack caused a St. Francis fum- ble, Andrews threw to Duraney White for a 16-yard score, giving the Gaiters a 23-3 lead with 10:19 left in the half. Andrews’s second rushing touch- down came on a 72-yard run down the sidelines on the last play of the third quarter, putting the Gaiters up 30-12. Andrews iced the game in the fourth quarter, as he led the Gaiters on a clock-chewing 11-play drive that con- sumed 5:07, culminating in a 23-yard field goal. Andrews finished 8-for-13 for 148 yards passing, and was 9-for-128 on the ground. The Gaiters (2-4) return home to face the Montreal Carabins (4-2) Satur- day at Coulter Field. SOCCER Henry chips in on win for Newberry SOUTH CAROLINA -- Meagan Henry of Ajax picked up an assist to help New- berry College claim a 2-1 come-from- behind overtime victory over Lenoir- Rhyne in South Atlantic Conference women’s soccer play. After falling behind within the 10- minute mark, Henry sent a pass in to freshman Laura Mottel, who put a solid shot into the right side of the net to tie the match with just under eight minutes remaining in the game. Newberry need- ed just one shot in overtime to kick the game winner at the 97:38 mark for the victory. The win improved Newberry to 11- 3-1 on the season. Henry, a graduate of Dennis O’Connor, is in her sophomore season with the South Carolina school. The 19- year-old played in 18 games last sea- son for Newberry, and is majoring in biology. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 21, 200914 AP DURHAM -- Eating healthy in Durham Region is easy, thanks to the efforts of 60 restaurants, school and workplace cafete- rias. The Region recognized the eateries with a 2009 Eat Smart! Award at the Durham Council meeting on Wednesday. The award goes to establish- ments that offer more healthy options, such as vegetables, fruit, grain products and entrees and desserts with less fat. Custom- ers can also ask for healthy sub- stitutions such as salad instead of fries, or order milk or 100- per cent fruit juice with a child’s meal instead of a soft drink. “All recipients of this award have demonstrated their com- mitment to meeting exceptional standards in nutrition and food safety,” Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham Region medical officer of health, said in a press release. “Local REGION Durham establishments recognized for providing healthy food options establishments should be proud of their contri- bution to the commu- nity in providing healthy alternatives and we hope that they will continue these efforts.” Chartwells School Dining Services was honoured for its menu offerings at several high schools across the Region. Other local recipients were OLG Slots at Ajax Downs, Burb’s Bistro and Bar and Herongate Barn Theatre (Pickering).

York Region needs to expand the sewer system leading to the York-Durham Sewage Treatment facility in south Pickering, next to the nuclear station. One aspect of the expan- sion is an odour control facility York had wanted to put in Pickering, on Altona Road near the hamlet of Cherrywood West. Resi- dents living nearby opposed the site, fearing odours would come from the facility. York officials have since moved the facil- ity site to the west side of the York-Durham Townline, north of Taunton Road. Pickering resident Devi Gopalan said at the Region she didn’t want the process to be stopped, but was simply asking for a review. After the plans were rejected, she attended Pickering council Monday. “Pickering council did today what our MPPs and Durham Region failed to do, which is to look out for the residents of Pickering,” she said. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley proposed the time-out, saying it would give Regional and City officials a chance to review matters. “We’re not asking to stop the EA or the plant expansion. With a time-out we’ll get an EA we can all live with.” Cliff Curtis, the Region’s works commission- er, said the MOE has released its preliminary review of the EA material and didn’t have a problem with it. Ninety-nine per cent of the time residents won’t notice an odour, he said, and in that other one per cent, the odours will be minimal. At Pickering council, Mayor Dave Ryan assured the more than 200 residents in atten- dance “based on legal opinions you should feel comfortable your Council is representing you vigorously,” against York’s proposal. A four-month time-out, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said, would have been “worth a try to see if we can get this together. “The last thing we at the Region and the City want to do is get into a legal fight over this,” he said. “What is four months to ensure this pro- cess is done right?” But since that plan was rejected, Pickering chose to launch a legal challenge. Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell accused York of breaching its obligations under the memorandum of understanding it signed with Pickering in 2005 upon origi- nal plans to expand the ‘Big Pipe.’ It included clauses that York would treat residents fairly and provide full and timely communication with them on all project issues. But she said it wasn’t just York’s fault Pickering chose to take legal action. “Had (Durham) Region as a whole protected us like they were supposed to, we would not be in this position.” A letter from York Region’s chief adminis- trative officer stated York’s disappointment with Pickering’s legal plans, calling many of the allegations incorrect. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 21, 200916 P Wednesday October 21, 2009 Ajax & Pickering Locations 255 Salem Rd.

If you have the answer, drop head coach Bill Brady a line. Brady and the rest of the staff on the Central Canadian Hockey League team are scratching their collective heads trying to come up with an answer after the Pan- thers dropped a pair of weekend games, 5-3 to Lindsay on home ice Friday and 10-2 in Toronto Sunday. This two-game losing streak follows a five-game winning streak which was preceded by an eight-game winless streak... and you begin to see the roller coaster ride this team is going through. “I think we’re still fragile,” said Brady of the club’s confidence level. “It comes back to search- ing for that identity. They don’t understand whether they can be a good hockey team or are they a team that’s not that good. They haven’t sorted that out yet and gained the confidence in their mind that on most nights we can be a decent hockey team and play with anybody.” Brady summed up the two weekend performances in short order, noting that in the loss to Lindsay, it was a bit of a mixed bag as his club played well enough to win and bad enough to lose. Saturday in Toronto, they just didn’t show up. Friday’s loss was a winnable game, as Kyle Ramsay’s goal with 1:31 remaining pulled the Pan- thers to within one at 4-3, but Lindsay tallied the final goal of the night with just 20 sec- ond remaining. While the Pan- thers were outshot in the major- ity of wins during their six-game streak, on this night, they held a 35-30 advantage. The following night, a hit cross- bar in the second period while down 3-1 was the team’s demise, as Toronto marched down the ice and scored just after for a 4- 1 lead and that was the end of the night, according to Brady. Toronto poured it on for a 7-1 lead after the second period and made it 8-1 in the third before the Panthers could score anoth- er. The weekend leaves the Pan- thers in eighth place in the 10- team East Division with a 5-8-2 record. Throughout his years behind the bench, this losing, then win- ning, then losing trend is some- thing Brady hasn’t experienced. “Not off the top of my head that I can recall going through the emotions that this team goes through,” he said. “When things are good for them, it’s good, and when it’s bad, it’s bad. There doesn’t seem to be a happy medium of consistency.” Pickering gets back at it Thurs- day in Whitby (7:30 p.m.) and host Bowmanville on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex. THE SCOOP -- In addition to Kyle Ramsay’s goal in Friday’s loss, Josh Dadic scored his first two as a member of Pickering after joining the team in a trade from Hamilton. Blair Falotico had two assists ... Saturday in Toronto, Ramsay scored on the power play while Mike Lucifo- ra added the other ... Tyler von Engelbrechten still leads the team offensively, with 11-14-25 totals, and despite collecting just one assist on the weekend, has nine points in his last five games ... Anthony Kimlin played in net Friday, while Charlie Millen got his first start of the season on Saturday. He is the son of former NHL’er Greg Millen ... The Pan- thers were missing four regulars from Saturday’s lineup -- Cole Watkins, Brayden Rose, Jesse Hebscher and Hayden Perroni. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND Loose ball PICKERING -- Pickering High School’s Komica Reeves (4) was in the right spot as Dunbarton’s Amanda Joudrey lost possession of the ball in senior Quad-A basketball action at Dunbarton on Monday. Pickering won both ends of a doubleheader, as the seniors posted a 45-36 victory, and the juniors fol- lowed with a 49-27 decision. BASEBALL Trio of baseball players make the grade as OUA all stars DURHAM -- Three players from Durham Region were honoured by being named to OUA baseball all-star teams at the conclusion of their respective seasons. Checking in on the first team were a couple of players with local roots, as Ajax’s Chris Dahiroc, a third baseman with the Univer- sity of Toronto, and second base- man Bruce Craine of Whitby, who attends Western, were named first-team all stars. Dahiroc batted .403 this season, collecting 27 hits in 20 games, while driving in 12 runs. Craine finished the year with a .366 aver- age on 26 hits in 22 games played. He also showed a keen eye at the plate, drawing 19 walks. Making the grade on the sec- ond team was Matt Marinelli of Pickering, who patrols the outfield for Brock. Marinelli appeared in just eight games this season, but batted .438 on seven hits and four walks. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 22, 200918 AP Come & Worship Directory Publishing Friday's Ajax & Pickering News Advertiser For more information on our Worship Directory please call Erin Jackson at 905-683-5110 Fax: 905-683-7363 Email: ejackson@durhamregion.com Deadline: Wednesday @ 10:00 a.m. Apartments & Flats for RentA OSHAWA 658 Simcoe North at Rossland. 1 & 2-bdrm apt in 12-plex, 1-bdrm $750, 2- bdrm $850.

Born in Toronto, Bill joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1942 and served as a member of the ground crew in Vancouver for the remainder of the WWII. Bill mar- ried his teenage sweetheart, Doris in Vancouver and their ﬁ rst-born, Douglas was born there. When the war ended, the family of three returned to Toronto where Bill worked as an auto mechanic at vari- ous GM shops such as City Buick and Robertson Motors before opening his own auto repair shop. Bill and Doris raised 5 children and tragically lost their second born son, David, in 1969 at the age of 20. In 1982, fortunately for Pickering, Bill & Doris moved to Bicroft Court. They loved their house, their neighbours, and their community here. Bill was owner of Bill Penny's Auto Service at 1755 Plummer St., just off Brock Rd and Bayly Avenue. Many of Bill's customers followed him to Pickering, and many more friends were made while in his new hometown. In his late 60's Bill was forced to retire from his shop due to his heart condition, but the shop was kept going and eventually changed names to M.M. Motors Inc. under my proprietorship, and Bill became my good friend and faithful advocate. Until only weeks before his death, Bill was a ﬁ xture at M.M. Motors, providing advice and assistance to me, and greeting customers. I valued his friendship and greatly miss him. Bill had a passion for helping people. His past and cur- rent neighbours will remember him with fondness. He dearly loved his family & friends, and they loved him. Bill was an avid model airplane builder and won many prizes for his handywork. He loved ﬂ ying, both small planes and model planes. He taught Air Cadets ground school for many years; he was heartbroken when his heart condition prevented him from renewing his ﬂ y- ing license. His presence was constant at Remembrance Day ceremonies in Pickering. He served a term as Presi- dent of the South Pickering Senior's Club. He died sur- rounded by his family in the ICU unit of Ajax - Pick- ering Hospital. Bill will be remembered by all on Sunday October 25th, 2009 at the wake to be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 606 at 1555 Bayly Ave., starting at 1p.m. The Simple Alternative on Brock Rd were wonderful in ensuring Bill's ashes could be ﬁ t into a model airplane built for Doris many years ago. It will be on display at the October 25th wake, then buried in his burial plot beside Doris and his son David at Highland Memory Gardens in North York. Bill was very proud of his family and of his own accomplishments. A few years ago the Ajax - Pickering News Advertiser featured an article on Bill and his model airplanes. Bill had many stories to tell about his life and his many interests. He could be the life of any party and shone as the centre of attention. Bill always had a good word to say and a joke to tell. I hope his friends will feel free to drop by M.M Motors on Plummer Street to remember Bill and trade their stories with me. I know Bill's family will continue to be valuable customers and friends to me. With thanks to the ICU staff for their gentle care of Bill at the end, and in tribute to a good Pickering citizen and a valued and faithful friend. Mihir Mistry, M.M. Motors Inc.

"Your mother is always with you...She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street; She's the smell of bleach in your freshly laun- dered socks; She's the cool hand on your brow when you are not well. Your mother lives inside your laughter, and she's crystal- lized in every tear drop. She's the place you came from, your ﬁ rst home; and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your ﬁ rst love and your ﬁ rst heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate you, not time, not space... not even death. Cremation has taken place.
