PICKERING -- Durham residents may not have
to drive all the way to Point Pelee or Georgian
Bay to enjoy a national park in the future.
In February, a consultant’s report found
making Rouge Park, which partly rests in
Pickering, Canada’s first near-urban national
park is the best way to preserve and enhance
the environmentally significant area. A recent
Nanos poll also found 88 per cent of residents
surveyed in the Greater Toronto Area sup-
port the national park status, and noted key
reasons were support for national parks near
urban areas, the need for more and better
greenspaces, it would be a beneficial asset for
the community and would enhance opportu-
nities to enjoy the park.
Rouge Park may get national status

Donald A. Wilson
science classes
get a feel for farming
MELISSA MANCINI
mmancini@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- A 3D plastic map sits on a
table with seven teenagers standing around
it, sprinkling drink crystals on it and spray-
ing it with water.
The crystals represent fertilizer, pesticide
and waste. The water is raindrops. And the
students making Kool-Aid on the represen-
tation of a city are learning about water-
sheds.
It’s part of the first Farm Connections
agriculture science day at Donald A. Wilson
high school. The watershed display is one
of nine that Grade 12, Grade 11 and Grade
9 science and biology classes took turns
learning about.
“I hope they go home with three things
they didn’t know before,” organizer and sci-
ence teacher Nicole Swain said.
She’s hoping the day will give students a
better understanding of the way crops are
grown and where their food comes from.
Less than two per cent of the population
lives on a farm, so this is a chance for those
without farming in their lives to learn more
about it, she said.
For the exercise, the gym at Donald A.
Wilson was turned into an agri-classroom
for the day. Two classes came to the gym
at a time, split into small groups and cycled
through the presentations, which lasted
six minutes each. About 350 students took
part.
The quick time frame and large number
of students there to see the presentations
meant that Allison Nesbitt of Cedardale
Farms in Nestleton had to repeat her show
and tell about genetically modified organ-
isms 36 times.
But she said she didn’t mind. Like Ms.
Swain, she is hoping the kids learn some-
thing new about food production. And she’s
hoping she can help clear up some things
about genetically modified plants, she said.
“The biggest thing is (people think) is that
GMOs have less nutritional value (than
foods from regular seeds),” said Ms. Nes-
bitt, whose husband and father-in-law run
Cedardale full-time.
She works at a bank handling loans for
agricultural businesses.
GMOs are a management tool farmers
use if a particular crop is susceptible to cer-
tain pests, she said.
Janet Moore, an inspector with the Cana-
dian Food Inspection Agency, was also
there to shed some light on what she does
for a living.
A lot of people think the agency is respon-
sible for inspecting restaurants, when the
role is more to insure food safety at a higher
level, starting with the growth and manu-
facturing of food products, she said.
The diversity of careers in agriculture-
related fields, everything from finance to
research, is something Rick Lea, director of
the Durham Region Local Training Board,
hoped the day would highlight.
“Many urbanites don’t have an opportu-
nity to see what goes on in agriculture,” Mr.
Lea said.

Local agency fields
18,000 calls a year, but
many still don’t report
suspected abuse
JILLIAN FOLLERT
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The Durham Children’s Aid
Society handles about 18,000 calls a year, but
there are still incidents of child abuse that go
unreported.
October is Child Abuse Prevention Month
and the local agency is reminding the com-
munity to be its eyes and ears when it comes
to spotting kids in trouble.
“What we know from local and provincial
surveys is, the main reason people don’t call
is fear that they may be wrong or a feeling
that it’s none of their business,” said Durham
CAS spokesman Shane Vieira. “We certain-
ly understand that making the call to a Chil-
dren’s Aid Society can be extremely difficult,
but not calling may mean a child continues to
be a victim of child abuse.”
Everyone has a legal duty to report known
incidents of abuse and cases of suspected abuse
and calls to a CAS can be made anonymously.
Last year, 4,439 of the 18,000 calls that came
into Durham CAS resulted in child protection
investigations and there were 889 children in
care.
About 21 per cent of abuse cases stemmed
from a caregiver with a problem, while 19 per
cent related to physical abuse, 17 per cent
related to domestic violence and 15 per cent
were as the result of neglect.
Other less common types of abuse investi-
gated by Durham CAS included sexual abuse,
emotional abuse and abandonment.
As part of Child Abuse Prevention Month,
the local CAS is partnering with agencies
across Ontario to help people learn what to
look for and how to report suspected abuse.
A provincial website called www.usey-
ourvoice.ca has information about types of
abuse, the subtle and not-so-subtle signs of
abuse, when to call CAS and what happens
when you call.
For example, a child who is being neglected
may be frequently absent from school, often
forget to bring a lunch or come to school in
clothes inappropriate for the weather.
A child who is being physically abused may
be wary of adults or become extremely aggres-
sive or withdrawn.
Signs of emotional abuse could include bed
wetting without a medical reason or frequent
psychosomatic complaints like headache or
nausea. “When in doubt, call,” Mr. Vieira said.
“Don’t wait until you’re absolutely sure that
abuse has taken place, by then it might be too
late.”
The purple ribbon used to symbolize Child
Abuse Prevention Month has its roots in Dur-
ham Region. In 1992, Durham CAS intro-
duced the concept, which has now become
an integral part of the province-wide cam-
paign.
In keeping with this year’s theme of I Am
Your Children’s Aid, societies across the prov-
ince are telling the stories of youth, families,
workers, volunteers, community partners and
foster and adoptive parents.

WHITBY -- Panelists, including Durham Regional Police Chief Mike Ewles and televi-
sion personality Ken Shaw, listened to an essay presentation from Christina Antoine
from Alexander Graham Bell Public School in Ajax for the Chief of the Day contest
at the Durham Regional Headquarters on Oct. 1. Joshua Fitzpatrick, from Oshawa,
(photo below) presented his Chief for a Day essay to panelists.
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- He may only be in Grade 5, but young
Joshua Fitzpatrick has no doubts about where his
career path will take him.
“I knew from a very young age I wanted to be a police
officer,” Joshua told a panel of judges, including Dur-
ham Regional Police Chief Mike Ewles, Oct. 1. “I want
to be part of a group that shares the same ideas I do.”
He’s had some great role models: Joshua’s dad,
granddad, uncle and stepdad are all cops. And some
of those relatives were looking proudly on when Josh-
ua joined nine other students from schools across the
region for the annual Chief for a Day essay contest,
held at Durham police headquarters in Whitby.
Judges listened as youngsters aspiring for the prize --
the Chief for a Day is outfitted with a uniform, spends
a day touring police facilities and riding in the helicop-
ter, then reads the winning essay at the annual Police
Appreciation Dinner and Awards Night later this
month -- outlined varying visions of policing and the
role officers play in the community.
The winner, announced Monday, is Brittani Borque,
of St. Bernadette Catholic School in Ajax.
All the contestants, chosen after essay competitions
in their schools, were treated to a special day last Fri-
day. They were picked up at their schools by officers
in cruisers and escorted to HQ, where each youngster
had their moment in the spotlight.
For contestant Quinton Armstrong, that was
enough.
“Whether you win or lose, you wrote a good speech,”
he said.
Quinton spent hours on his contribution, re-writing
and rehearsing until his mom and dad had learned
the essay by heart, too.
When he addressed the judges, Quinton announced
that if he ever becomes chief of police he’d establish a
routine for everyday, beginning with what he called “a
police officer breakfast.”
What’s that, you ask?
“A large double double and a jelly-filled doughnut,”
Quinton announced.

REKA SZEKELY
rszekely@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Employees are back to
work in the Ajax-Pickering hos-
pital’s basement after a diesel
spill forced an evacuation on
Monday.
David Brazeau, a spokes-
man for the hospital, said the
spill occurred on the property,
but not inside the building. He
didn’t have details on whether
it was relat-
ed to con-
struction at
the site.
The
Ajax fire
depart-
ment
respond-
ed to the
spill and
the base-
ment was
evacuated
at roughly
3 p.m.
Mr. Brazeau said none of the
other areas of the hospital was
affected.
“None of the patients in their
beds were affected,” he said.
Clean-up crews were called in
and most of the spill has been
vacuumed up, said Mr. Brazeau.
Staff was able to return to the
basement by about 6:43 p.m.
“The clean-up of the spill con-
tinues today,” he said on Tues-
day. “All of our basement staff
are back at work, that includes
diagnostic staff, lab and admin-
istrative areas.”
Departments located in the
basement include human
resources and nuclear medi-
cine.
In terms of the evacuation, Mr.
Brazeau said everything went
by the book and praised staff.
“Staff performed terrifically,
if nothing else, it was a terrific
real-life test of evacuation pro-
cedure, luckily on a very small
scale.”

Reader would welcome
better green bin
To the editor:
Many of us in Durham Region have now
received the new, larger blue recycling
bins. I am questioning if the substantial
cost to purchase and distribute these was
money well spent. I don’t think so.
Speaking for myself, I already have two of
the smaller ones, both quite beat up now,
but they are adequate. I didn’t need a third
bin, and especially a larger one.
What I would really appreciate and bene-
fit from is a replacement green bin, but one
that is raccoon-proof. I have tried wedging
it between other containers and laying it
down on the latch, but the critters still get
into it. The root of the problem is the latch
system used on these boxes is simply inad-
equate. That’s where the Region should be
spending some money.

FEEDBACK
‘No substitute for
the real thing’
To the editor:
Re: ‘Facebook a poor substitute for real
friendship,’ Reka Szekely column, Oct. 1.
How tragic for Reka Szekely to find out
about her friend’s death via Facebook.
Certainly, in the age of social networking
staying in touch is easier than ever. In such
a sad circumstance, I congratulate Ms. Sze-
kely on discovering the drastic limitation
of relying on social networking: you’re not
really as in touch as you think you are. A
“friend” on Facebook is a poor substitute
for time spent with the real person.
The fact this newspaper devotes some
of its resources to a commentary on social
networking speaks to how ingrained it has
become in our society (though I would
hazard to guess people who read the news-
paper are less likely to use social network-
ing sites).
Perhaps through such enlightened com-
mentary as Ms. Szekely’s, we will all realize
there is no substitute for the real thing, and
rather than tapping away on the keyboard,
we will pick up the phone and say ‘It’s been
too long, let’s get together’.

Navy League

community support
To the editor:
The Ajax Pickering Navy League cadets
of NLCC Exeter and Sea Cadets of RCSCC
Harwood wish to thank Ajax and Pickering
for their support.
The cadets spent the weekend of Sept.
23-26 hard at work tagging.
The cadets get out into their communities
of Ajax and Pickering hoping the members
of their community support their fundrais-
ing efforts.
Tagging is a critical component of the
Navy League and Sea Cadet fundraising for
the year.
As a result of the cadets tagging in their
communities they feel a strong sense of
accomplishment and pride in supporting
the program that provides them with so
many opportunities such as a band, trips,
competitive teams and more.

What else is in store
with mayoral candidate?
To the editor:
Re: “Consequences of immorality evident,”
says Ajax mayoral candidate, Sept. 24
Now that we know Sherry Clymer would
not support any Town event (such as rais-
ing the gay pride flag) that promotes an
“illicit and immoral lifestyle,” I wonder
what other measures she would have in
store for Ajax residents under her theocra-
cy.
The same book she uses to support her
condemnation of same-sex relations also
requires parents of disobedient children
to stone them to death, bans people from
consuming pork and warns of the scourge
associated with wearing socks made from
two types of fabric. I look forward to hear-
ing about how these other dictates would
influence her decision-making process if
she is elected mayor.

The Durham Children’s Aid Society
opens, on average, 50 new files every day
to confront issues of child abuse, neglect
or abandonment. That’s 18,000 annually.
Chances are someone in your neigh-
bourhood, at your child’s school, or in the
local playground is silently facing some
form of neglect or abuse from a parent,
guardian or other authority figure. It’s
tragic. It’s an affront to those of us living in
a progressive, caring society.
As Durham CAS officials mark Child
Abuse Prevention Month in October,
they’re asking for the public’s help to
help identify victims and provide extra
eyes and ears in communities across the
region when it comes to spotting children
who might be in trouble.
Society has come a long way from the
days when child abuse was something not
talked about publicly, and families were
left to deal with such issues behind closed
doors, often where the bulk of the abuse
would take place.
Today’s child protection system is much
more robust and responsive; police and
medical officials are far more aware and
knowledgeable about the signs and symp-
toms of abuse and neglect. Indeed, it is
now a legal requirement for those who
know of child abuse to report it to authori-
ties.
But the CAS can’t be everywhere, nor
can it do the job it is responsible for with-
out the active participation and support of
the larger community.
If you suspect child abuse or neglect, if
you witness a troubling incident, or if you
simply know, you could be saving a child
from further abuse with one simple, anon-
ymous phone call.
The child who appears frequently in
class without a lunch or appropriate cloth-
ing may be a victim of neglect. Surpris-
ing behaviour such as extreme shyness or
extreme aggression could be symptoms of
physical abuse. Psychosomatic medical
complaints could be an indicator of emo-
tional abuse.We owe it to the small minor-
ity of children in Durham Region who face
daily terrors due to abuse and neglect.
Visit the provincial www.useyourvoice.ca
website and inform yourself of the subtle
and not-so-subtle signs of abuse, learn
when to call the CAS and what happens
when you do.
And, as Durham CAS official Shane Vie-
ira noted this week, doubt is common
among whistle blowers, but it shouldn’t
prevent you from making an inquiry that
could literally save a child’s life.
When in doubt, make the call to the
appropriate authorities.
Otherwise, it might be too late.
Durham residents can help confront, reduce child abuse
What do you do when someone’s really
hurting? In physical or emotional pain?
Dying?
Most of us, unless we’re performance
artists or divorce lawyers, want to do
something to help. We want to ease their
pain somehow. But what do you do? How
many times have you been in a situation
where you’re with somebody who has
been given some very grim news and you
just haven’t a clue what to say? Everything
you can think of sounds absolutely lame,
clichéd or worse, offensive.
“Hey, chin up, look at the bright side!”
“Soooo ....how’re you doing?”
“You gonna finish your pudding?”
The best most of us can come up with at
times like these is “I’m so sorry.” Because
we are. We are terribly sorry that this is
happening to someone we care for. But
still, we feel completely impotent as we
utter those words. “I’m sorry.” We might
as well be saying “You have such nice
feet” or “Wow, this bed is electric” or “I
like chips.”
There are, of course, a million things
we’d like to do. We’d like to be able to hug
them or touch them or bake them a cake
or even take their place if they’re really
dear to us. But most of the time, very few if
any of those options are either available or
even appropriate, and we are left feeling
sad and powerless.
We are not powerless, however. Most of
us have no idea of just how immensely
powerful we actually are. Human beings
are generating stations of pure energy.
We’re white-hot spirit wrapped in flesh
and bone. And one of the things we do
best is transmit.
Sound too ‘woo-woo’ for you? Think I’ve
flipped my New Age lid? Listened to one
too many Yanni albums? You’re entitled,
but think about the last time you walked
into a room where two people were in the
middle of a fight.
Remember sensing, even before a word
had been spoken, that something was
very, very wrong? Feeling that dull ache in
your solar plexus as though the space had
suddenly dropped atmospheric pressure?
That’s energy.
Ever share a silent car ride home with
your spouse or partner after a disagree-
ment? There’s so much energy in that
vehicle, you have to roll the window down
to let it out.
Or perhaps you’ve felt that wave of joy
pulse over you the first time your infant
child smiles at you. Or experienced the
pure bliss of falling head over heels with
someone ... that too, is energy.
We have it in spades. It’s what we’re
made of.
And the coolest thing is, we can throw it
around. We can share it. For good or evil.
We can think daggers at somebody or we
can hold them in our hearts, imagining
them healthy, happy and joyous.
And that’s what we can do for those we
love who are hurting. Beam your goodness
at them. Don’t fret, don’t worry, don’t feel
guilty. Simply turn on your transmitter,
quietly picture the object of your devo-
tion, hold them in a joyous, positive place.
I mean literally imagine them happy,
healthy and laughing ... and let her rip.
That love is real. It’s as real as the pain
you feel when you picture them gone. It’s
as tangible as a bouquet of flowers or a
box of chocolates. But it’s worth so much
more.

Nothing boring
about this election
MIKE JOHNSTONSABRINA BYRNES/
BEHIND THE LENS
This photo was taken at Tra-
falgar Castle School as local
families waited for exchange
students from Japan to arrive.
Billet families waited outside
the school carrying signs for
the students to identify them.
This particular student was
overwhelmed when she was
introduced to the woman
she would be staying with.
She insisted they were tears
of happiness. The woman
welcomed her with open
arms and seemed to be quite
nurturing. I thought the
encounter was very moving
and I’m sure she was in good
hands with her homestay.
Well, no one can say this municipal elec-
tion campaign has been dull.
At the start of the campaign, which
seems to drag on forever, we had thought
Oshawa would be the best municipality
for coverage given all the craziness that
has gone on in that city in the past.
But then Sherry Clymer appeared in Ajax
and during a mayoral debate said if Ajax
was going to fly the Gay Pride flag it should
also fly the Nazi flag.
In Whitby, Mayoral candidate Marcel
Brunelle, who really shouldn’t be saying
re-elect Marcel on his signs since he hasn’t
been mayor for four years, made a refer-
ence to Hitler during a TV talk show.
Candidate Rocky Varcoe demanded an
apology but after watching the tape, Mr.
Brunelle really had nothing to apologize
for.
Then an anonymous letter arrived stat-
ing Mr. Varcoe had made a soft-porn
movie called Dead End. He denied it and
the story seems to have fallen by the way-
side.
Couple those three with all the calls we
have been getting from candidates com-
plaining we are going to cost them the
election for lack of coverage, complaints
about signs being stolen or vandalized
and letters from readers who seem to real-
ly be taking notice of the candidates this
election, and the word boring has rarely
popped up in the newsroom.
We are currently finalizing our plans
for election night coverage. It’s still in
the planning stages, although we know
our photographers with their fancy new
iphones will be heavily involved.
We will be in every municipality, with
the most up-to-date coverage on our web-
site at durhamregion.com.
I’m still not sure what is going to hap-
pen in some of the municipalities but my
guess in Oshawa is that the new council
will move as quickly as possible to abol-
ish this silly at-large election and go back
to a ward system which makes a lot more
sense in a city the size of Oshawa.

P
Garth Atkinson
Three issues I feel strongly about:
1. Citizens feel that their concerns
are being ignored. I intend on inviting
citizens to express their opinions well
before decisions are made. Citizens
offer insite and valuable information that
can enhance projects. 2. Tax increases
threaten home ownership for many
including fixed income seniors. I will
ensure careful and prudent spending of
public money. Only the non-essentials
that are supported by the residents will
get my vote. 3. Traffic congestion and
parking shortage. The park at bottom of
Liverpool Rd is offlimits to may citizens
because of the shortage of parking.
Planning department need to approves
any ideas that will relieve the situation.
Possibly a shuttle service from parking
to the lake to the mall. New develop-
ments must be built in locations with
existing roads.
My philosophy on ethics and trans-
parency in government: All decisions
must be based on the long term ben-
efit to all or parts of our community. No
decisions should be made until the pub-
lic has provided their insite on the effect
of the project to residents. Decisions
must be clear and justifiable not based
on personal ajendas.
What are the biggest problems that
have to be addressed in the ward
you are running in?: Taxes threaten
affordability of homes. Citizens feel
their opinion on developments is being
ignored by council.
How do you plan to bring a strong
voice to the council table on Pick-
ering’s behalf?: As a Toastmaster I
chaired many business meetings and
am aware of how business meetings
procedures work which I intend to use
to promote Ward 2 citizens interests.
Ian Cumming
Three issues I feel strongly about: 1.
The running of a City is a business. To
this day, Pickering has done a poor job
of managing our growth and planning
for our future. The City has been rely-
ing too heavily on its income from resi-
dential property taxes- if it were not for
taxpayers the City would be out of busi-
ness. That’s not good enough. 2. Why
can’t the City attract jobs, private indus-
try and growth? Other North American
municipalities have done this. Are we
just accepting that they are better than
us or that we are just a bedroom com-
munity for the GTA? I won’t accept this.
You shouldn’t either. 3. Some friends,
long time Pickering residents, are talk-
ing about moving because of high
taxes, crime, and an apparent apathetic
attitude at City Hall. They are correct to
complain. They are wrong to move.
My philosophy on ethics and trans-
parency in government: My own phi-
losophy is very much a ‘do unto others’
credo. I can’t please everybody, and I
probably won’t agree with everyone but
I can be honest with everyone. I have
not found that to be the case in my deal-
ings with every member of City Council
in the past. The cash register honesty
should be a given, the honesty of intent
must be, if the citizens of Pickering are
going to have their faith restored. As for
transparency, I hate being treated as if
I should be protected from, or are too
stupid to understand, what my Govern-
ment is doing for me. I trust you do too.
What are the biggest problems that
have to be addressed in the ward
you are running in?: I’m a resident in
ward 2, and my issues are taxes, crime,
road safety, and planning. Taxes are
growing along with crime and road safe-
ty and services are not keeping pace.
I’m for addressing the tax base and
adopting what other municipalities have
done to improve theirs. I want to see the
City run like a business. I’m pro police
and want to see more effort on crime
and road safety. This city needs to find
its identity, its heart, and that’s going to
take a lot of work but its worth it
How do you plan to bring a strong
voice to the council table on Picker-
ing’s behalf?: Encouraged by friends
who candidly said “either shut up, or
do something about it” I decided to run
in my ward. I want your vote and I will
promise to tackle the issues that we feel
are important to us. I can’t promise to
do this quietly.
Doug Dickerson
Three issues I feel strongly about: a)
The medical health of our residents. I am
committed to the Ajax/Pickering Hospital
expansion. I fully support and participate
in the campaign for a $5 million MRI unit.
b) The financial health of our community.
I devote much time to seeking out new
companies and extolling the virtues of
locating in Pickering. Our efforts have
created 4,000 new jobs during this term.
The challenge is to do better and attract
even more. c) The sustainable health of
Pickering. This is a journey without end.
We will continue to tackle new means of
energy efficiency; we are moving aggres-
sively into District Energy, Heating and
Cooling in Seaton planning; we continue
to retro-fit municipal buildings to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. We can, and
will, do more moving forward.
My philosophy on ethics and trans-
parency in government: My word is
my bond. I do not make promises lightly
and work very hard to keep them. Ethi-
cal matters are like a compass -- point-
ing the way if you’re seasoned enough to
see it. Unless a matter concerns a land
acquisition or disposal, an individual or
a legal matter, all actions of Council are
made public beforehand. As the other
matters are settled, they are also made
public. I know I am open, honest, trans-
parent and accountable.
What are the biggest problems that
have to be addressed in the ward you
are running in?: Traffic is nearing grid-
lock at some intersections and is increas-
ing on every major roadway. Controlling
that flow is vital. Speeding cars on resi-
dential streets, petty mischief, graffiti and
loud parties continue to annoy residents;
but with by-law and police assistance,
we are making progress. I fully support
connecting all sidewalks along Kingston
Rd to promote walkability and a sense of
community. I am committed to maintain-
ing a close watch on City expenses and
assisting seniors.
How do you plan to bring a strong
voice to the council table on Pick-
ering’s behalf?: Experience, having
a sound plan and respecting dissent
are the skill sets I employ. My voice is
strengthened through an intimate knowl-
edge of Ward 2, its residents, its past and
its vision for the future. My knowledge of
business and council proceedings serve
residents well. I bring a passion which
is deeply rooted in the community I am
deeply committed to. I take the trust resi-
dents have placed in me very seriously
and deliver results!
Pasquale Malandrino
Three issues I feel strongly about:
Traffic and Parking Issue: All future
developments have to be carefully
assessed so problems are not encoun-
tered after the fact. Residence that are
affected currently should have options.
Tax Issue: Take the tax burden off the
residence by drawing in industry which
in turn creates jobs and helps the local
economy. High Density Housing: Allow-
ing a progression which suits the area
that is being proposed for development.
As to fit nicely into the surrounding com-
munity and not adversely affect it.
My philosophy on ethics and trans-
parency in government: Ethics and
Transparency in Government: Govern-
ment should have principles of right
conduct for the people that it serves.
Transparency in government should
open to everyone and posted some-
where so the public can access infor-
mation readily.
What are the biggest problems that
have to be addressed in the ward
you are running in?: York Region Big
Pipe coming to Pickering (SEWAGE)!
The city of Pickering has dropped the
law suit against York Region, because
of the funding it would take in the courts.
Just maybe this could have been han-
dled better.
How do you plan to bring a strong
voice to the council table on Picker-
ing’s behalf?: By having the people of
the community listened to not just heard.
Taking the majority vote of the people
who turn out or participate in certain
issues into serious consideration. By
doing this and being an advocate for
the people that you serve there would
be a greater chance of the community’s
wishes being carried out.

Accessible voting
The City of Pickering is determined
to make voting accessible to all resi-

will prepare a report to the new council
regarding the identification, removal and
prevention of barriers that affect electors
and candidates with disabilities. Citizens
may provide feedback either to the clerk’s

enough so that those with assistants can
cast their ballot secretively. Guide dogs
may also accompany those who use
them.
Large print will help those with low
vision and special electronic devices will
also be available for voters who need to
use them.

Rouge Park Alliance chairman and
Uxbridge resident Alan Wells point-
ed out many of the GTA’s seven
million residents are new Canadi-
ans, and their first experience with
a national park could be in Rouge
Park.
“Having a near-urban national
park in the GTA would expose the
national park system and they’d get
to use it more,” he said, adding it
would also be a tourist attraction.
Georgian Bay Islands and Point
Pelee national parks are the clos-
est national parks to Durham now.
Rouge National Park would be
unique, considering its close prox-
imity to urban life and wilderness.
The Rouge Park Alliance, a vol-
untary partnership consisting of 12
organizations, including the City
of Pickering, hopes it will happen.
The Rouge National Park has been
endorsed by the Province of Ontario,
the Cities of Pickering and Toronto,
the Towns of Markham, Richmond
Hill and Whitchurch-Stouffville, and
the Regions of Durham and York.
“We want to protect the integrity
of the park,” said Mr. Wells.
Rouge Park spans 10,000 acres
and combines nature, trails and
farms throughout the GTA. It was
created by the Ontario Government
in the early 1990s when the public
was concerned about the protection
of the Rouge River valley. Mr. Wells
explained it was only a couple thou-
sand acres at the time and rested
solely in Toronto.
A small portion of the park, about
100 acres, now sits in Pickering.
“But it’s an important part because
it’s environmentally sensitive land,”
Mr. Wells said.
Rouge Park protects Pickering’s
sensitive wetlands: the Petticoat
Creek and Duffins Creek water-
sheds.
To fully realize the vision of the
park, the consultant felt Rouge Park
needs new funding commitments
and a new structure to give it stron-
ger leadership.
“It’s time for us to find a better
organizational structure and finan-
cial structure,” Mr. Wells agreed,
adding making Rouge Park a nation-
al one, and getting the federal gov-
ernment on board, is the best way to
do so.
The Rouge Park Alliance is also
calling on the federal government
to dedicate 5,000 acres of federal
land in Markham to the park as an
agricultural preserve, which would
make the total park 15,000 acres.
Mr. Wells explained the additional
land would allow the park to con-
nect from Lake Ontario to the Oak
Ridges Moraine. Also, the nation-
al park status will mean more trail
heads, entrances and connections.
“Our goal is to connect not only
from the north and south, but from
the east and west,” he said.
Mr. Wells said a meeting with
members of the federal government
in the near future is the next step.

DURHAM -- An upcoming Durham public school
board conference for parents will feature one wom-
an’s story of facing a young man who devastated her
family.
Katy Hutchison of Victoria, B.C., presents Walk-
ing After Midnight: The Story of Bob, Saturday, Nov.
6 at Sinclair Secondary School, 380 Taunton Rd. E.,
Whitby.
The story describes how bullying, peer pressure
and misguided choices in an unchaperoned setting
caused devastation to her family. Her story has been
featured in several national magazines, including
Chatelaine, Canadian Living and Homemakers. Ms.
Hutchison has told The Story of Bob to many school
parents’ groups.
The presentation was created so that parents can
help their children discuss risk taking behaviour,
boundary setting, consequences, communication
with other parents and host liability issues.
The presentation is part of a Parents as Partners
conference. The registration deadline is Oct. 22 and
tickets are $25. The event begins at 8:30 a.m. and Ms.
Hutchison’s presentation begins at 9 a.m. The morn-
ing event also includes workshops on Restorative
Practice in the Home, a guide to fostering positive
discussion with children. The event concludes with
a book signing from 11:30 a.m. to noon.
The ticket price includes daycare. Parents are asked
to register children for daycare in advance, with regis-
trations accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

School Board’s website:

DURHAM -- Standing water in six Durham Catholic
schools has tested over the Ontario standard for lead,
but were under the maximum after the systems were
flushed.
“All schools are flushed every day and it’s recorded,”
said Tim Robins, assistant superintendant of facilities
services.
The flushing happens before students and staff arrive
at school.
“The 2010 test results have confirmed the importance
of daily flushing procedures undertaken at all locations
prior to the beginning of the school day,” the report
said.
The Ontario standard for drinking water is 10 micro-
grams per litre. All samples in the school board taken
after the water systems at the schools were flushed com-
plied with this standard.
Father J. Venini in Oshawa, Immaculate Conception
in Port Perry, Sir Albert Love in Oshawa, St. Isaac Jogues
in Pickering, St. John Bosco in Oshawa and the Continu-
ing Education Centre on King Street in Oshawa all had
between 11 and 23 micrograms of lead per litre when the
water was tested in June, according to a recently released
report from the Durham Catholic School Board’s Facili-
ties Services.
The samples collected after those school’s systems
were flushed were between 2 and 8.5.
Testing happens every year according to government
standards. The tester takes a sample first thing in the
morning before the water system is used, then again after
the system is flushed. Both samples are taken before stu-
dents and staff arrive at school, Mr. Robins said.
Parents can check the lead results of their child’s school
on the board’s website: www.dcdsb.ca. Results can be
found under the “About DCDSB” tab with the heading
“Water Sampling and Testing”.

Choose the Right Restaurant for Your Next Party
DINING OUT ADVERTISING FEATURE
In Ajax & Pickering
Hosting a party can be a wonderful opportunity to
share a few laughs and good times with family and
friends. However, hosting duties come with an array
of responsibilities, often making the day of the party
a hectic one for even the best of hosts.
Avoiding such responsibilities is one popular rea-
son for choosing a restaurant to host your next party.
Restaurants take care of the cleaning and preparation,
allowing hosts to enjoy the party as much as their
guests. Those thinking of using a restaurant to host
their next party should consider the following tips.
• Comparison shop. While you might have a favorite
restaurant in mind, it pays to comparison shop when
looking for a restaurant to host your next party. Prices
can vary greatly when it comes to private parties, and
some might not even be capable of accommodating
larger parties. To be certain you’re getting the best
deal, use the time you have to comparison shop.
• Choose a central location. When hosting a party
at home, there’s always the potential to allow guests
to stay overnight should the party run late. However,
when having a private party at a restaurant, all guests
will eventually be driving home. To make it easy on
everyone, choose a centrally
located restaurant that’s with-
in a short driving distance for
most. If possible, choose a
restaurant that’s near public
transportation as well. This
can provide a safe fallback
option should a guest have
too much to drink and not be
able to drive home.
• Negotiate with the restau-
rant manager. The restaurant
manager should be open to
negotiation regarding the
menu, both food and bever-
ages. Flexibility is a must,
as your guests will no doubt
have varying diets. Be sure
to ask about the availability
of vegetarian meals and other
diet-specifi c foods that guests
with health ailments might
need. Restaurants might
not be as fl exible for larger
parties, but smaller parties
should expect fl exibility with
respect to the menu.
• Arrive early. Hosts should
arrive at the restaurant early
to ensure that everything is
going smoothly. The host should always arrive be-
fore the guests and put up decorations if that’s part
of the party.

Fifth year senior
named tournament
MVP for Notre Dame
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- The Notre Dame Lady
Cougars senior girls’ basketball
team got what it wanted.
Not only did the Cougars pre-
serve their number one ranking
in the GTA by winning the News
Advertiser Classic on their home
court this weekend, they were
forced to earn it, with a tough
championship game against third
ranked Campion from Brampton.
In control from much of the sec-
ond quarter on, Notre Dame had
a commanding 14 point lead early
in the third quarter whittled down
to four with just under seven min-
utes to go in the game. But a surge
by Notre Dame, particularly elec-
tric point guard Dakota Whyte
who accounted for the final 10
points for her team, allowed the
Lady Cougars to prevail 49-40,
winning their fifth tournament
championship in a row.
“Our game plan was to use our
speed because our main offence
is our fast break. I think we were
effective in that,” said head coach
Rose Booker of her team’s strategy
to overcome a height advantage
held by Campion. “I wish all of our
games were like this. This is what
it’s all about.
“We were excited to play in this
game. We had to battle. They are
an excellent team and big inside.
They didn’t give us anything
inside. We had to work for every-
thing that we got, so we are quite
satisfied to take the win.”
With the score 39-35 with just
6:55 left to play, Whyte took the
game into her own hands, hitting
a running jump shot and convert-
ing a foul shot for a three-point
play, running the length of the
floor for a layup and completing
the three-point play by sinking
another foul shot, hitting two free
throws in the bonus situation, and
adding a jump shot at the buzzer
to complete her 10-point run. She
finished the game with 17 points.
The high scorer of the game for
Notre Dame was Lindsay Pan-
chan, who poured in 22 in total.
She also led the way offensively in
a couple of other games leading
up to the final, earning Tourna-
ment MVP honours.
“I definitely think this team is
special,” she said after Saturday
night’s final. “We are quicker than
last year and we all trained through
the summer. Even our team flow
and team chemistry. We just know
where each other are.”
Panchan returned for a fifth year
at Notre Dame, hoping to catch
the eye of a university recruiter
south of the border and earn a
scholarship. She takes her role as
a fifth year senior seriously, and is
a little sentimental about her high
school basketball career coming
closer to an end with each passing
game.
“On the court my role is to lead
us,” she said. “A lot of our energy
can come from how I’m playing or
how we are talking to each other.
Off the court, it’s treating people
with respect. It’s not just basket-
ball.
“I didn’t know for sure that I was
coming back, so I thought last
year was my last News Advertis-
er tournament. Definitely wining
this and having a hard game it will
be the best memory of any of the
tournaments.”
In addition to the contributions
from Panchan and Whyte, Booker
praised the efforts of Safiya Antro-
bus, Rona Tamayo and Kadeja
Hughes off the bench, especially
late in games.
“What I like in the dying minutes
is that I can put other people on
our bench in. They didn’t give up
and they didn’t get intimidated,”
she said.
Notre Dame breezed through
pool play on Friday, beating Port
Perry 69-19, with Tisha Brathwaite
scoring 12, and Aurora 62-37
behind Panchan’s 17 points. In the
semifinals Saturday afternoon, it
was Panchan stepping up with 20
points in a 60-30 doubling of Holy
Name.

ONTARIO JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE
Promising start ends in disappointment for Panthers
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- A promising start to
the weekend ended in disappoint-
ing fashion for the Pickering Pan-
thers.
A six-goal outburst in the first
period of Friday’s home game
against Peterborough was enough
in a 6-3 victory, but the momentum
wasn’t sustained, as the team lost
5-2 in Whitby Sunday afternoon
and 7-1 in Cobourg on Monday.
The weekend leaves the Panthers
with a 2-9 record and in last place
in the East Division of the Ontario
Junior Hockey League.
“We played really well the first
period Friday night. It’s tough
with a 6-1 lead because we’re not
used to that,” said head coach John
Goodwin in recapping the week-
end. “Sunday in Whitby it was a
pretty close game. We didn’t capi-
talize on our chances, they did. We
were missing a few guys and we’re
just not deep enough right now to
be missing two forwards.”
The Cobourg game on Monday
was a bit of a reversal from Friday,
with the Panthers giving up four,
first-period goals on just four shots
before netminder Adam Stein was
pulled.
“We go into that rink and it’s a
tough rink to play in to begin with,”
said Goodwin. “We only give up the
four shots in the first 15 minutes
and we’re behind 4-0. It’s not what
you want. Sometimes your goalie
has to steal you a point or keep you
in it early. Once they got that lead,
it’s a tough rink to come back in.”
The Panthers did make some ros-
ter moves last week, trading Jordan
Ramsay to Toronto for Jason Boag,
a 17 year old who adds toughness
and grit. They also acquired broth-
ers Paul and Joe Ramieri in a deal
with Orangeville. The older of the
two, Joe, 20, is a solid defenceman,
while Paul, a winger, goes to the net
hard.
Other moves may be pending.
“I would hope so,” said Goodwin
with a laugh. “We talk about it. But
the situation when you’re a last-
place club and the team hasn’t had
a lot of success, it’s difficult. I know
(GM) Rob Toffoli is on the phone
every day.”
Goodwin added the team is look-
ing to add skill and depth to the for-
ward lines.

OSHAWA -- If it wasn’t obvious then,
it’s sure known now that the Oshawa
Generals maximized the return they got
when they made the difficult decision to
trade away John Tavares and Michael Del
Zotto.
Nearly two years later, with both Tava-
res and Del Zotto gainfully employed in
the National Hockey League, the Gener-
als are at the top of the Ontario Hockey
League standings in large part due to the
assets GM/coach Chris DePiero managed
to pry away from the London Knights at
the deadline two seasons back.
Not only did he land three players cur-
rently making huge contributions --
Christian Thomas, Scott Valentine and
Michael Zador -- but he also turned the
draft picks he acquired into other trades
that have helped bring Lucas Lessio and
Nick Quinn to town.
Tyler Biggs, taken with London’s sec-
ond round pick in 2009 but still part of
the United States development program,
may add to the mix next season, when the
team is expected to really hit its stride.
Mind you, it’s difficult to imagine the
Generals playing much better than they
are right now.
On the strength of a fourth straight
solid effort in goal from Zador and two
power-play goals from Thomas, the Gen-
erals improved to 4-0-0-0 with a 3-1 win
over the Kingston Frontenacs Sunday at
the General Motors Centre.
It was Zador’s play, in particular, that
had DePiero beaming with pride after-
ward, knowing full well how important
a season it is for the 19-year-old Tampa
Bay Lightning prospect.
“It was one of those games where he
picked his team up early when we were
down,” DePiero said of Zador, who
weathered an early Kingston storm and
stopped 32 of 33 shots in game. “That
speaks to confidence, that speaks to him
being in that zone right now and I’m very
proud of him.
“I think this year’s club can find ways to
score goals,” added DePiero, who didn’t
have the same luxury last season. “When
you have goaltending like that and when
guys can make plays, it’s a good recipe.”
After cracking the honourable mention
list in the first Canadian Hockey League
rankings of the season last week, the
Generals are sure to vault into the top-
10 this week as the lone team in the OHL
not to have suffered a loss.
Friday, the Generals and Frontenacs
meet again, this time in Kingston. The
Ottawa 67’s will be in Oshawa for a 2 p.m.
matinee on Thanksgiving Monday at the
General Motors Centre.
