The excitement began growing as soon as the first results rolled in at 9:30 p.m., show- ing Ms. MacCharles slightly ahead of Pro- gressive Conservative candidate Kevin Gaudet. As her lead continued to grow, the atmosphere heightened and the excitement was palpable when Ms. MacCharles arrived to greet supporters around 10:30 p.m. to the sound of the crowd chanting “Tracy! Tracy!” Preceding her was PC candidate Kevin Gaudet, who graciously introduced Ms. MacCharles to the room as “your new MPP”. “It’s my pleasure to introduce you to a lady who ran a good campaign, a strong cam- paign and a clean campaign, a lady I think will do a great job for this riding,” he said, leaving her with one final piece of advice.

Family RestaurantFamily Restaurant “If you take one piece of advice from me, let it be to clean up the Rouge Valley.” Ms. MacCharles thanked supporters, noting that she wasn’t even sure if she had won until she got a call from cam- paign manager David Phillips, since she hadn’t yet seen results for the riding on the television broadcast she was watch- ing. “I’m going by David’s call that we won, so that’s good news,” she said to laughs from the crowd of supporters, family, friends and campaign volunteers. “The residents of Pickering-Scarbor- ough East have spoken and they want the Ontario Liberals to continue under the leadership of Dalton McGuinty and I’m just thrilled about it. They want us to continue providing world-class health care and education, continue on with our green energy program and build a stronger Ontario.” She assured supporters that she would work hard for the community and always be accessible to residents. “As a neighbour and a friend I will always be accessible to you,” she said, expressing her gratitude for a well-run campaign. “It has been an incredible journey, starting with discussions around my din- ing room table a year ago. Somehow we fought it out and created our own way. The campaign was a learning process for all of us but we had a lot of support.” One of those supporters, former Lib- eral MP Mark Holland, was on hand to congratulate Ms. MacCharles. “Tracy didn’t just win, she absolutely shone,” Mr. Holland said. “She received an enormous mandate in a tough elec- tion.” Ms. MacCharles credited Mr. Holland with her decision to run for MPP, when he told her “someone’s got to stick their neck out in Pickering-Scarborough East, and you should do it.” This is Ms. MacCharles first foray into politics, where she is taking over the Lib- eral mantle after former Liberal MPP Wayne Arthurs decided to retire earlier in the year. Despite being exhausted, Ms. MacCharles was excited at the victory. “I’m in a very good place,” she said. NEWCOMER from page 1 Pickering-Scarborough eaSt Newcomer MacCharles keeps riding in Liberal hands election 2011 Voters go with Joe in Ajax-Pickering riding reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX-PICKERING -- Ajax-Pickering resi- dents are sending local political veteran Joe Dickson to Queen’s Park for a second term. With all but two polls reporting, the incum- bent Liberal MPP nabbed roughly 47 per cent of the votes in the riding and was up by 4,500 votes over Progressive Conservative chal- lenger Todd McCarthy. Mr. Dickson grabbed the lead early on elec- tion night and held it. By the time he arrived at his victory party at his campaign office on Harwood Avenue in Ajax, Mr. McCarthy was waiting to congratulate him. The two spent a few minutes talking and Mr. Dickson expressed his best wishes for Mr. McCarthy’s son, who is battling cancer. With his wife Donna by his side, as she was during the campaign, Mr. Dickson made his entrance to cheers from dozens of supporters brandishing Liberal red Joe Dickson signs. Mr. Dickson started by acknowledging his opponents. “This is absolutely the toughest fight I have ever been in; we had real professional people running against us and I’d like to commend each and every one of them, their spouses, their families and their entire teams.” Although this was his second victory as a provincial Liberal, Mr. Dickson served for years as an Ajax local and regional councillor and is well known in the community. “I’m honoured and privileged because of the wonderful people of Ajax and Pickering. I think they’ve elected me now 12 times out of 13 and I just want to expand how much I can do for them,” he said. Among the list, he said he’d like to work on a 10-year plan for the Ajax-Pickering hospital and also said he wants to work with the may- ors of Ajax and Pickering towards better eco- nomic times, particularly more jobs. As the results continued to come in, Mr. Dickson said he was hoping for a majority Liberal government but acknowledged there were lessons to be learned from his party’s diminished numbers. “One of the opposition parties tended to sling a lot of mud and some of it stuck and that’s lesson No. 1, don’t let them get away with that again,” he said. “The real lessons are jobs, the economy, health care and educa- tion and that’s where I have to do more work and that’s a message.” Mr. Dickson said people seem pleased with health care and education locally, so a great deal of focus will be on jobs in the upcoming term. Following his entrance, Mr. Dickson thanked all his supporters, who ranged in age from 13 to 97. The NDP’s Evan Wiseman, the Green Par- ty’s Steven Toman and the Libertarian Party’s Andrew Delis also ran in Ajax-Pickering. faSt factS how Durham ridings were won Here is a list of winners in Durham ridings: Whitby-Oshawa PC Christine Elliott Durham PC John O’Toole Oshawa PC Jerry Ouellette Ajax-Pickering Liberal Joe Dickson Pickering-Scarborough East Liberal Tracy MacCharles Brock PC Laurie Scott ryan Pfeiffer / metrolanD AJAX -- An exuberant Joe Dickson celebrated after being re-elected as MPP for Ajax-Pickering riding on election night, Oct. 6. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 7, 20114 AP WHITBY SHOWROOM905-576-7600 310-HEAT (310-4328) DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE C A L L $49 *reg.$99 limited t i m e o f f e r with t h i s a d OrDo Not Pay Till2012* OAC *Call for details while quantities last. .COM G Government Rebates Are Back Up To $199000 Central AirConditioner orFurnace From $100* per day turn to the experts ® T he Ta s t e of F re sh!|| OCTOBER 11th & OCTOBER 18TH GET YOUR FREE reUSable pickering town centre fa shion bag with e ve ry $2 donation to the food drive.

At the Oct. 3 Standing Committee meet- ing, Durham Continuing Education princi- pal Vicky Pidgeon reported summer school numbers in the Durham District School Board grew for the third straight year. In total, 6,870 students registered for the elementary and secondary summer school programs, a 19-per cent increase from 2010 and the highest number in eight years. A total of 5,666 students registered for sec- ondary summer school programs at either O’Neill Collegiate and Vocational Institute, Sinclair Secondary School or Dunbarton High School. Students unable to attend took home corre- spondence courses. A total of 115 students from the north upgraded or made up courses, and 116 peo- ple took Adult English As A Second Language classes, its largest enrolment thus far. In elementary summer school programs, 1,204 students registered to either upgrade or to take the Getting Ready for High School pro- gram. Ms. Pidgeon reported student surveys provided positive feedback, with many stat- ing they’d look at taking accelerated courses next summer. eDucAtion Summer school enrolment up in 2011 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 7, 20115 P Dental Care for Adults,Kids and Great Big Babies. •A Full Range of Dental Treatments - Bring the whole family. •Saturday &Evening Appointments - To serve you better. •Flexible Payment Options - Helping you get the treatment you want. •A Relaxing Atmosphere - Virtual vision glasses,stereo headphones to help ensure you have a pleasant visit.

The plan, which has been on the books since 1992, was recent- ly changed from a traditional con- dominium development to larg- er detached homes with two-car garages. A public planning infor- mation meeting was held on Oct. 3 for Pickering councillors and mem- bers of the public to learn more about the development and the zoning bylaw amendment being sought. “The company’s view is that it would be more desirable to have two-car garages and slightly larger dwellings, which are more in keep- ing with the tone of the neighbour- hood,” said Allan Windrem, a land use planner who was representing applicant Michael Delli Benedet- ti, of Maddy Developments, at the meeting. Mr. Delli Benedetti purchased the lot, with approvals already in place, one year ago and then set about amending the proposed develop- ment to make the homes larger. The final proposal would see 16 two-storey homes built off of a pri- vate drive, with visitor parking and an outdoor common area. “I think it’s important for every- one here tonight to remember this application has been in existence for a very long time,” Mr. Windrem continued. The zoning amendment applica- tion seeks an exemption to the min- imum building setbacks in order to allow for smaller side yards on the property. Residents took the opportunity to express their displeasure, detailing concerns including privacy issues surrounding two-storey homes backing onto bungalows and increased traffic and parking issues on their already crowded streets. “Our biggest concern is privacy,” said Piyali Correya, whose Haller Avenue home backs onto the devel- opment. “We live in a single-storey bunga- low, and the units being proposed are two-storey, which inevitably means we will have people look- ing down into our backyard and our bedrooms. Being a family with a small child, this is a great concern for us.” Resident Pat Norwood expressed her displeasure at the possibility of parking problems. “We have a pub and tavern nearby so we already have overflow from that.” Mr. Windrem assured her that the developer did not expect parking to be an issue, since each home would have four private spaces between the two-car garages and driveway parking. Other residents said they were not against the development in principle, noting it was much better than having a condo development or apartment building. “I think the development is going to be very pretty,” said Sharyn Near- ing, a resident of Old Orchard Ave- nue. “I do have some concerns regarding our property line. Right now there’s a small forest there with beautiful, tall trees and I’d like to see that preserved as much as pos- sible.” Ross Pym, principal planner, development review for the City of Pickering, assured residents their concerns would be taken into account and said staff are also wait- ing on comments from technical agencies such as the Durham Dis- trict School Board and the Toronto and Region Conservation Author- ity. “The former site plan was fully approved so we’re not anticipat- ing anything new in terms of con- cerns, but we have circulated the application to a number of agen- cies and are waiting to hear back,” he explained. “Staff will review all comments submitted tonight and all received from technical agen- cies and from that we will create a recommendation report to come back to council.” Despite efforts by city staff and Mr. Windrem to address residents’ concerns during the meeting, Ms. Correya said she felt little relief. “I’m still very, very concerned. I feel like most of my questions were not answered,” she said. The recommendation report will be considered at a future planning and development meeting before being forwarded to council.

I can totally can relate to the letter writ- er’s story regarding the sandwich genera- tion. My father passed away earlier this year and the last few years has been a real chal- lenge for all, including me and my family. There is no easy answer. Your parents did so much for you and you have to help them when you’re need- ed for doctors’ appointments, etc. You have to speak up at the appoint- ments and emergency visits because they do not. The care continues with my mother because she was married for 53 years and my father did all the paper work, etc. Hopefully, our kids will see this care and help us out when needed. Bill Zolis Ajax 9/11 anniversary Several studies have debunked WTC asbestos theory To the editor: Re: ‘World Trade Center towers needed asbestos spray’ letter to the editor, dur- hamregion.com, Sept. 12, 2011. Shame on your for publishing such rub- bish. The letter writer should stop regurgi- tating 10-year-old Fox News “stories”, and you people need to print a correction. The asbestos fireproofing “theory” (or conspiracy theory) with regard to the WTC towers’ subsequent collapse has since been debunked and really isn’t much of a debate anymore and seems to resurface from time to time, generally as modern myth. This resolved issue has been all but put to rest by several intensive and exhaus- tive governmental and independent stud- ies, which have concluded with several important key points implicating causa- tion of the WTC 1 and 2 building’s col- lapses. Many experts have officially investigated and examined the WTC towers’ destruc- tion, using extensive test assembly rec- reations of WTC construction materials, computer simulation models, analyses of physical evidence, evaluation of relevant historical records, in-depth inspection of photographic and videographic docu- mentation; there are volumes of informa- tion which provide detailed explanations of how and why these buildings failed the way they did, from a cumulative combi- nation of correlated factors, some that are unique to the WTC towers themselves. However, as it applies to the fireproofing issue, regardless of fireproofing content, the type of spray-applied fire-resistant coatings in the WTC 1 and 2 buildings wouldn’t have mattered anyway because these crumbly, fluffy materials were blown off at the jets’ impact locations from the tremendous amount of forces and subse- quent explosive energy exerted. J.A. Campbell Courtice courts Neutral perspective needed on dog’s behaviour To the editor: Re: ‘Whitby woman spent $15,000 fight- ing dog’s death penalty/Nine-year-old lab not dangerous, says expert’, durhamregion. com, Sept. 28, 2011. In response to your article ‘Whitby woman spent $1,000 fighting dog’s death penalty’, I wish to challenge the headline that read ‘nine-year-old lab not danger- ous, says expert.’ It is worth pointing out that the expert opinion provided in this case comes from a consultant under contract to the dog- owner. The owner’s assertion that there needs to be “some room for a neutral assess- ment” may have validity, however, an expert paid by the dog-owner hardly counts as a neutral perspective.

With a reduction of nearly two dozen seats, Ontario voters delivered a mild rebuke to Mr. McGuinty and eight years of higher taxes, government waste and bulging defi- cits. Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives, which remained primarily on message throughout, save for minor missteps and marginal controversies, gained 12 seats and took 37 provincial ridings, while Andrea Horwath’s NDP party also saw gains, from 10 seats at dissolution, to 17. Now, the Premier must make a decision. Being so close to majority territory, he may opt to govern as such, with the risk of politi- cal gridlock, to his peril. Another unpleas- ant consequence could be another trip to the polls. Alternatively, as has happened in the past, the NDP could move to prop up a minority Liberal government, the long-term consequences of which could be costly to Ontario taxpayers. With this result -- the Liberals teetered on a majority for most of the night -- Mr. McGuinty must now demonstrate strong fiscal stewardship while remaining flexible and willing to adapt to political develop- ments, yet also be prepared to act should global economic conditions deteriorate. The combined power of the NDP and Pro- gressive Conservatives, meanwhile, could serve the province well if they can set aside partisan allegiances, find common ground with the government of the day, and work on behalf of all Ontarians. An effective and organized opposition at Queen’s Park will keep the government accountable, fight for fiscal responsibility, encourage flexibility when circumstances demand it, and pro- vide a contrary, informed voice in the pro- vincial legislature. In the meantime, we acknowledge the effort of every single voter in Durham Region who cast a ballot in yesterday’s elec- tion and in the advance polls leading up to Oct. 6. They lived up to their civic obliga- tions in doing so. Decisions made in the coming months and years will shape Ontario far beyond the term of this government. Remain engaged, inform yourself and speak out to your MPP, whether in government or opposition, to ensure that your views are heard and to ensure that we all have a hand in creating the Ontario -- and Durham Region -- of tomorrow. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 7, 20117 AP We’re Thanking you this Thanksgiving...WITH A GREAT DEAL!

Durham police have announced 32 arrests on a variety of charg- es including drug and weapons offences and the seizure of an esti- mated $10 million worth of pot from outdoor grow ops. Project Mosquito 2 was the con- tinuation of a strategy launched last year aimed at not only detect- ing marijuana crops, but catching those responsible for them, police said. “A lot of (police) services will eradicate (crops) immediately, but the problem is often times you never find out who’s connected to them,” said Durham police spokes- man Dave Selby. “Our strategy is to try and figure out who is behind the outdoor plants.” Investigators employing the same strategy last year arrested 22 peo- ple and seized $14 million worth of dope, as well as two handguns. The 2011 campaign has seen 32 people charged with 135 offences and 11 firearms seized in addition to the marijuana crops, Mr. Selby said. A total of 8,853 plants and 38 pounds of dried marijuana were seized, along with more than $18,000 in cash. Among the outdoor plots detect- ed this year have been: • A grow consisting of 51 plants on Trulls Road in Courtice. Another 118 plants were discovered indoors and cops seized seven litres of cannabis resin. Three improperly stored firearms were seized. • More than 470 plants in a wood- ed area near Salem and Rossland roads in Ajax. • An address at Roosevelt Avenue in Ajax where police found four plants, but also seized two illegal .38 calibre handguns, one under a mat- tress. The crops were found in a vari- ety of fashions, including tips from the public, observations made by officers in the Air 1 helicopter, and discoveries by farmers whose fields were being used to grow pot. police said. poLICE Operation Mosquito stings Durham marijuana growers 250 Bayly St.W., Ajax (Between McDonald’s and Dairy Queen)905-683-3535Hours: Open Daily 6am - 3pm EggsCrepes THANKSGIVING BREAKFAST SPECIAL 3 EGGS •CHOICE OF MEAT HOMEFRIES •TOAST FRUIT •COFFEE *FOR $6.95 (BUY 1 GET 1 HALF PRICE!)

Both elementary and sec- ondary schools across the region are encouraged to participate in the second annual Random Acts Of Kindness chal- lenge. This challenge is in celebration of Week Without Violence, running Oct. 17-21. The goal for this event is to promote kindness among students and focus on positive effects that students can have on their peers and their environment. During the Week Without Violence, students are encouraged to carry out random acts of kindness. These acts could simply be picking up a dropped book, inviting someone who is sitting alone to sit with you or send- ing a thank you to someone you take for granted. These are all random acts of kindness that are worthy of a nomination. To register your school simply RSVP by Oct. 15 to Lesley Ellis, project co- ordinator by phone at 905-576-6356 or via e-mail at lesley.e@ywcadurham.org. During the week of Oct. 17-21, record all kindness acts and submit your school’s total on Monday, Oct. 24. The winning school will be announced and featured as the Kindest School in Durham Region, and will receive prizes.

At an Oct. 3 planning and development meeting, discussions surrounding a pro- posal to expand the Pickering Ridge Shop- ping Centre at Brock Road and Hwy. 401 focused overwhelmingly on a restriction calling for 40-metre setbacks for buildings with drive-thrus. “We need more information from staff as to why that 40m restriction is there, we need to see what can be accommodated,” said Harry Froussios, a representative for applicant Zelinka Priamo Ltd. “We think there is an opportunity to have drive-thrus here, maybe not of a restaurant type, but certainly banks and things like that. We would like staff to reconsider the terms of that restriction.” Neil Carroll, director of planning and development for the City of Pickering, said staff sought the restrictions to protect near- by residential areas. “We felt the property was so large that there wasn’t a need to have drive-thrus so close to the street,” he explained. “Our main concern was for the buildings along Pickering Parkway. We suggested that setback to protect the residential areas along Pickering Parkway to the north.” The applicant is proposing an expansion of 9,230 square metres over the vacant portion of the shopping centre. The exist- ing 26,590-square metre shop- ping centre consists of four mul- tiple-tenant commercial build- ings which include retailers such as Staples and Cora’s restaurant. Under the proposed plan, the expanded centre would consist of 10 stand-alone, multiple-ten- ant buildings with a gross floor area of 35,820 square metres. When pressed by councillors as to what types of drive-thrus his client might pursue, Mr. Froussios could not say, explaining that his clients cannot seek ten- ants for the new buildings until the plan is approved and therefore have no way of knowing what type of retail outlet may be interested. “There could be potential locations for bank drive-thrus,” he explained. “We don’t have any tenants yet so I can’t say for certain but that is the type of tenant my client would pursue.” Councillor David Pickles noted that the different uses of drive-thrus should be taken into account, although he agreed with protecting residential streets. “Just visualizing it, I would have less con- cerns with a bank, as long as it wasn’t front- ing onto residential property,” he said. “However, I would have a significant problem, and would not support, any fast-food fran- chise. I wonder if the restrictions are something that need to be fleshed out a bit depending on use.” The concerns are becom- ing more common, according to Mr. Carroll, who noted many municipalities have been under- taking reviews looking at placing controls or restrictions on drive- thrus in the face of complaints regarding noise, traffic issues and pollution caused by idling. Pickering is undertaking its own review to look at where drive-thrus may or may not be appropriate in the city and what types of restrictions might be appropriate. “The main concern expressed by council- lors is within the downtown,” he said. “If we’re trying to make the downtown very walkable, then we’re introducing more drive-thrus, those things are contradictory in their objectives. Like other municipalities we’ll be following along the lines of looking at where in the municipality drive-thrus may be appropriate, as well as what types and where restrictions might be appropri- ate. The main reason drive-thrus are being looked at is the impact on residential prop- erties.” Although the report is still in the works and is not expected to come back to coun- cil for some time, Councillor Jennifer O’Connell cautioned against generalizing drive-thrus as negative. “I do not support an exclusive ban of drive-thrus,” she said. “I don’t like that generalization. I think drive-thrus have a place when it comes to accessibility. To outright ban them I think is doing a disservice and is only looking at one side of the coin. I think there are good drive-thrus and poorly designed drive- thrus.” Councillors voted to support the recom- mendation to approve the application, but amended the drive-thru restriction to have appropriate drive-thru restrictions decided on through further discussion between staff and the applicant. Staff will report back to council at the next council meeting on Oct. 17, where the application will be eligible for final approval. city Drive-thru issue heats up in Pickering davId PICKlEs durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 7, 201111 AP Westney Rd Kingston Rd (Hwy. 2)Harwood Ave Archilles Rd Hwy. 401 Salem Rd N 18 HARWOOD AVENUE SOUTH,AJAX (SOUTH-WEST CORNER BESIDE STAPLES)905-683-0400 MON.–FRI. 10AM –9PM, SAT. 9AM –6PM., SUN. 11AM –5PM WWW.SOURCEAJAX.COM AJAX ALL THE LATEST GEAR FROM ALL THE GREATEST NAMES!

Fire Prevention Week kicks off on Sunday, Oct. 9, which marks the anniversary of the tragic Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The blaze, which killed more than 250 people, left more than 100,000 homeless and destroyed more than 17,000 structures, began on Oct. 8 but continued and did most of its damage on Oct. 9. The National Fire Protection Association is reminding people that when it comes to pro- tecting yourself against fire, the best defence is a good offence. This year’s campaign focus- es on cooking, candles, smoking materials, heating and electrical equipment, which are all among the leading causes of home fires. Pickering Fire Services is offering several tips to keep you and your family safe from fires, which include staying in the kitchen while frying, grilling or broiling food, turning off the stove if you leave the kitchen for even a short time, keeping anything that can burn at least three feet away from heating equip- ment, having a three-foot ‘kid-free zone’ around open flames or space heaters, replac- ing or repairing damaged or loose electrical cords, smoking outside, blowing out all can- dles when leaving a room or going to bed and avoiding the use of candles in bedrooms or other areas where people may fall asleep. “While preventing home fires in the City of Pickering is always our number one priority, it is not always possible,” said Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas. “Pickering’s residents need to provide the best protection to keep their homes and fam- ilies safe in the event of a fire.” Mr. Douglas reminds residents that they are required by law to have working smoke alarms on every storey of a home and outside all sleeping areas. Other tips include testing smoke alarms every month, changing bat- teries at least once a year, interconnecting all smoke alarms in a home and replacing alarms that are 10 years old or older. Pickering Fire Services is hosting educa- tional, family-oriented activities during Fire Prevention Week so residents can learn more about fire prevention and available technolo- gies to protect their homes from fire. Repre- sentatives from fire services will be on hand at the Pickering Town Centre from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 11 through Oct. 13. On Satur- day, Oct. 15 they will also be at the Pickering Recreation Complex from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Petticoat Creek Community Centre from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. and at the Central Library from 2 to 3 p.m. emergency services Pickering marks Fire Prevention Week with focused safety campaign durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 7, 201114 AP 52 Ravenscroft Rd.

While I enjoy the hus- tle and bustle of Durham’s vibrant down- towns, our rural areas are simply gor- geous at this time of year. The colours of the leaves are getting more beautiful every day. From waterfront trails to the rolling hills of the Oak Ridges Moraine, Durham Region abounds with excellent recreational activi- ties. This season, enjoy the scenic beauty with a walk, jog, cycle or in-line skate along one of Durham’s Region’s trails. Many of Durham Region’s trails are also open for horseback riding, a unique expe- rience for horse enthusiasts. These include the Trans Canada Trail, which runs through Uxbridge, Pickering and north Ajax; the many trails that wind through the Ganaraska Forest and Orono Crown Lands in Clarington; the Beaver River Wet- land Conservation Area and Trail in Brock; the Durham East Cross Forest Conser- vation Area trails, also in Brock; and sev- eral Uxbridge trails including Glen Major, Walker Woods, Durham Regional Forest and Uxbridge Countryside Preserve. At Kendal Hills, located in Orono, you can saddle up, hit the trails of the Ganaras- ka Forest and experience the beauty of the Oak Ridges Moraine on horseback. This facility offers unique farm-style overnight stays in an 1800s-era farm house -- a love- ly, unique vacation idea for a horse enthu- siast. For more information on this facility, please visit www.kendalhills.ca. The Region of Durham has produced a comprehensive trails guide highlighting the more than 350 kilometres of trails that are available to explore.

Photos by Walter Passarella and armando VillaVona The News Advertiser partnered with the Ajax Public Library to sponsor the 2011 Splash! Short Story Contest. The winners were recognized at an Ajax Council meeting. Here are their stories. A light breeze was blowing and the sun was high in the sum- mer sky – it was the perfect day for an aquatic adventure. At least that’s what I thought at first. I was dragged along the dirty deck of the large pirate galleon which stood tall above a small village on the coast of a strange small island, covered with tropical palm trees. The ship’s large sails billowed in the warm summer breeze. I coughed as I was pulled through layers of dust that flew into my eyes and mouth as though attract- ed by me. “Be quiet!” A large burly fig- ure shouted at me, kicking my ribcage with his large weatherworn boot. I fell down on myself, the skin around my rib- cage badly bruised from suffering several hard kicks. By now you must be wondering how I ended up like this in the first place. Well, to make a long story short my plane crashed near a strange small island, the one the ship was docked to now. I wandered the island, capturing the stares of the locals until I was captured by this nasty bunch of pirates. A large thump resounded in the air as the burly figure kicked me again, shouting inaudible words. I continued to crawl across the floor, following a thin man who shackled my foot and dragged me to the dungeon at the bot- tom of the ship. Once we arrived at the dun- geon he took the end of the chain and attached it to another shackle which was attached to the wooden floor. He then locked the shack- le with a brass key which he put back into a pocket of his tattered pants. I lay there, on the cold wooden floor for several hours, moaning in pain and wondering why such unfortu- nate things happened to me. After going through several emotional breakthroughs I came to one con- clusion – I had to escape this place before I’d end up like my buddy, Mr. Skeleton, in the corner of the room. After some hours that felt like an eternity my captor came down to the dungeon carrying some stale bread, hard enough to bust someone’s head open. The man dropped the food on the floor and began to turn away from me. I quickly grabbed his foot and used a karate move I once learned in a class I took as a kid. The man fell on the floor in nano- seconds, unconscious. I searched his pockets and found the key that opened the lock of the shackle. “Yes, I’m free!” I almost cried too loudly. Well, not exactly free, but at least I wasn’t chained to anything. I slowly sneaked up the small wooden steps, trying to avoid making any noise. When I reached the top of the deck I knocked out a night guard, hitting pressure points extremely hard. I then took his lantern and stole food and water from the pantry, placing it into one of the large sturdy rowboats. I then jumped into the boat, cut the lines and rowed away from the ship. As the morning sun rose above the hori- zon I heard the humming sound of a search plane in the sky above. I was saved. Pirates By Vincent Arff Winner: Best of Competition VINCeNT ARff durham’s Culture days included magic, body painting and a tour The stories continue on the next two pages. “A light breeze was blowing and the sun was high in the summer sky – it was the perfect day for an aquatic adventure.” Out of nowhere a glass bottle landed at my feet. There was nobody around. I opened the bottle. The note in it said “HELP! We need you to save the King Merman. Read on if you accept this chal- lenge... Yes, I accept I thought. I read out loud “Now don’t gloat there is the key to the boat.” As soon as I said that everything around me transformed. My backyard turned into a beach, the grass underneath my feet turned into golden sand, instead of my house there was the big beautiful ocean. I was amazed! On the shore was a boat with another bottle inside. The note inside said “The boat will lead you to the king, just make sure you wear this ring.” In the bottle there was a beauti- ful ring with mermaids around it, and a red ruby in the middle. It fit me like it was made just for me. I got in the boat and away it sailed. In the boat I saw a key. I took it just in case it was impor- tant. The boat stopped near another glass bottle floating in the sea. It said “You have reached where you should be, in the middle of the deep blue sea. Press the ruby on the ring and you will turn into a mermaid to save the king. Swim to the bottom of the sea and there you’ll find me! I pressed the ruby, the boat disappeared and instead of legs I got a big green fin. It looked so pretty, and made swimming so easy, plus I could breathe underwater! I swam to the bottom and there I saw a pink mermaid. She looked at me and start- ed speaking frantically about the king in trouble. She held my hand and swam real fast; everything I passed was just a blur. She slowed down in front of a cage with a weary and tired man inside. It’s probably the king, I thought. She told me that only a human could unlock the king because mermaids become too weak when they come close to the cage. She told me that the bottle attached to the cage holds the instructions on how to open it. I swam to the cage and opened the bot- tle. The note inside said “Open the lock with what you found in the boat.” I tried hard to remember what I found, and then it hit me, the key! I put the key in the lock, it worked! Yes! Everyone cheered; I hadn’t noticed all the beautiful fishes around me. The sky above us got darker. I said I should be getting home. The little mermaid led me back. Thank you for helping us she said. Press the red ruby on the ring to get home. “Bye, hope I could visit again” I said and then pressed the ruby. In a flash I was back home and my mom was calling me for dinner.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 7, 201118 AP learn how you can turn income tax into income * Enrolment restrictions may apply.

A light breeze was blowing and the sun was high in the summer sky -- it was the perfect day for an aquatic adventure. Eighteen year old Natalie was on a boat in the Atlantic get- ting ready to go scuba diving. She pulled on her flippers and rebreather, rolled backward into the water, gave a quick wave and disappeared. It was dark below the surface but light still penetrated. Natalie wore a headlight. It flashed on a manta ray. She stayed still hoping to take a picture. Natalie had a summer job as an underwater photogra- pher. She kept descending, looking for the elegant jellyfish she hoped to find at 300 feet down. Soon, she was rely- ing on her headlight. Suddenly, it flashed on a gate and then some walls. Atlantis! She could see a city and a gold castle beyond the wall. She swam over the wall. Inside, the buildings were mostly ruins but the gold castle was whole. Her heart beat faster. She had to control her breathing. She went in the open door and started to look around. Suddenly, Natalie heard a slam. The gold door had shut! She pushed and shoved but the door would not move. Natalie turned around and began searching for another way to get out. She swam down gold hallways and through gold doorways, into room after room after room. Something strange was on the floor of one room, a dark green bodysuit. Beside it were matching dark green flippers. She took a picture of it and swam on. A rustling sound made her spin around. A young girl, in a suit like the one Natalie had seen earlier, floated in front of her. Water in the castle started being sucked out through pipes in the wall. After a few minutes, the water was gone. The girl asked “What is your name?” “Natalie. What’s your?” “My name is Metaneira. How did you get into Atlantis?” “I swam over the wall and in the golden door” said Natalie. “Then it shut and I swam around looking for a way to get out.” “I can show you the way” said Metaneira. “As long as you don’t tell anyone you found Atlantis.” “I won’t” said Natalie. As Metaneira led Natalie down the pas- sages, she explained: “A long time ago, dur- ing the ice Age, this was above the water. My ancestors built the city. When everything warmed up, the water rose, covering Atlan- tis. The people made suits and additions to the city so they could live underwater. They had been living secretly until Natalie found them.” Metaneir took Natalie to an air lock. The wall opened, revealing the ocean floor. Nata- lie swam out and Metaneira followed. Meta- neira swam halfway up and then stopped. “Aren’t you coming?” asked Natalie. “Someone might see me” said Metaneira. Natalie swam up, wondering how she would keep Atlantis a secret. Linnea Moras Trapped in Atlantis The Key By Tanushree Sharma Winner: Grades 7 and 8 By Linnea Moras Winner: JK to Grade 3 Tanushree sharMa A light breeze was blowing and the sun was high in the summer sky – it was the perfect day for an aquatic adventure. This beach is awesome, thought Kayla. She was vacationing on the island of Puerto Novo. Her mom was sun-tanning while her dad and sisters were getting ice cream. Kayla tossed her braids and announced “I’m going swimming.” Kayla loves swimming and diving. She tries to see how long she can stay under- water while holding her breath. On her second try, she saw a beautiful shell and as she reached for it she cut her hand on something sharp. “Ouch!” she yelped or tried to because only bubbles came out, and then she got out of the water. The cut wasn’t bleeding very badly, and not want- ing to bother her mom, she collected her goggles and snorkel and returned to the water. A few minutes later something smooth brushed past her, but Kayla didn’t see what it was. She spun around, adjusted her goggles, and she saw it. She froze. She realized her cut was still bleeding. Not good. It came closer and stopped – a huge shadow of shark! She tried to scream. Again, nothing but bubbles. She swam back to the surface, her heart pounding fast. Kayla scrambled out of the water and raced to her mom. Kayla shouted to her, “OMG, mom! I just saw a shark!” Kay- la’s mother looked at her skeptically for a moment and then looked over to the ocean. Sure enough, people were franti- cally waving their arms and screaming, “Help! A shark!” Kayla glanced at the lifeguard’s chair but it was empty. She saw some boys laughing and running behind a cabin and noticed that one had something like a remote control. “Oh!” Kayla’s mom noticed Kay- la’s bleeding cut. “Kayla, sharks like blood and your hand’s bleeding.” “I know, but it was just sitting there,” said Kayla. “So weird!” Kayla dashed to the suspicious boys behind the cabin. “Hey!” she shouted. “Do you know anything about the shark?” She glared at each one, and then her eyes flickered down to the remote control. The teen with the device laughed. “Fine, fine, the shark is mechanical. We made it in school. Pretty cool, huh?” He held up the remote. Kayla stared at the buttons: move right, move left, sit still, and show teeth. “You guys are crazy! That’s not funny,” she snarled, sounding way older than her twelve years. “Stop this right now and apologize to everyone.” “Ok, ok,” said a boy she recognized from their hotel. Just then Kayla saw the lifeguard approaching and true to their word, the boys told everyone about the “shark”. Kayla returned to her family and told them what happened and so did the lifeguard. Of course her parents were very proud. “I was very glad to help”, said Kayla. “Last one in the water is a rotten egg,” she yelled and raced her sisters back to the water...

This season, three more teams from the Ajax FC can now cele- brate proudly after their crowning moments last month. And the club came close to adding even more to that as the U15 boys’ team, coached by Alex Bianchi, along with a pair of U16 teams, the Strikers led by Bob Langford and Tom Croft’s Gunners team, were all Ontario Cup finalists during play at the Ontario Soccer Centre in Vaughan. The following is a capsule of each of the other three teams and their championship run. Ajax FC U17 boys Strikers Facing the defending champi- ons, Mississauga Dixie Lions, Ajax FC allowed the opening goal of the match in the 30th minute and were behind 1-0 heading into halftime. Following the break, the Strikers pressed for the equalizer and final- ly capitalized by tieing the game in the 89th minute on a goal from Keishon Alcindor. In extra time, the 91st minute, Bruce Cullen took a pass in front and scored the winning goal to clinch the 2-1 victory and back-to- back Ontario Cup’s for the team. As provincial champions, Ajax FC Strikers are currently representing Ontario at the U18 boys National Club Championships in Frederic- ton, New Brunswick. Team members are Keishon Alcindo, Nicholas Axhorn, Peter Boylan, Ryan Boylan, Benjamin Cowman, Kyle Crichton, Niko Giantsopoulos, Bruce Cullen, Jordan Dover, Mark Eydelman, Shawn Claud Lawson, William Lay, Alexander Lodu, Nicholas Palm- er, Joseph Roccasalva, Le-Shaun Young. The team is coached by Dario Gasparotto with assistant Michael Stanley, manager Dwight Crichton and Michelle Gasparotto. Ajax FC U12 boys Madrid: Madrid also fell behind early in the final against the Brampton Blast, surrendering a breakaway goal in the third minute of action. Brampton extended their lead in the 35th minute as the result of a scramble in front of the net. Things turned around for Ajax FC early in the second half, how- ever, as they put pressure on at the beginning and were reward- ed with a goal in the 45th minute when Tre Skene made a great run down the right side and passed off to Reshaun Walkes who finished off the play with a goal. Ajax FC scored the equalizer in the 56th minute when Isaiah Pren- tice-Whyte headed in a corner- kick. Running out of time, the game went into penalty kicks where Madrid won 5-4 following goal- keeper Devin Smith’s clinching save. Team members are Caleb Wash- ington, Stefan Smith, Drew Nichol- son, Kyle Humby, Cameron Purdy, Jean-Paul Lyons, Troy Pugh, Isaiah Prentice-Whyte, Andrew Doma, Reshaun Walkes, Devin Smith, Ipariko Emojong, Noah Jensen, Matthew Minchella, Carver Grenon and Christian Bond-Flasza. The team is coached by Mark Purdy along with assistants Logan Purdy and Randy Pugh, and man- ager Verona Smith. Ajax FC U21 Admirals First time in the club’s history one of their senior teams won the Ontario Cup. Ajax FC boys took on Sault Fresco Premiere and after a scoreless first half, blew the game wide open with a handful of goals to take the game by a final score of 5-0.

Football Dolphins win at all levels over York-Simcoe ajax-Pickering atoms, peewees, bantams record victories PICKERING -- It was another successful weekend for the Ajax-Pickering Dolphins as the Phins defended their territory against the visiting York-Simcoe Bucs. All three Dolphins teams were victorious. The Dolphins atoms, led by their quar- terback Riley McBride and running back Darius Brown, combined for a total of three touchdowns against the Bucs. Izzy O’Brien added the extra points from the convert. The defence was in great form as they put together a shutout game. Myles Hylton, Keadon Morales-Hamilton, Quintin Phillips, Jonathan Weider, Aama- rii Notice and Tyler Brooks all put forth a great performance. The Dolphins won 21-0. The talented Dolphins peewees were very strong offensively. Running back Craig Gonsalves was on top of his game, rushing for four touchdowns and more than 100 yards. Fullback Jaiden Cruz powered his way for two touchdowns, pulling some Bucs along with him. Add- ing to the score with one touchdown each were Bailey Grimes and Treavon Grant, who rushed for a 50-yard touch- down. The relentless Dolphins defence continued to impress. Included in this elite squad are linebacker Shandy Noel, corner Rasheed Tucker, linemen Quityn Pettiford, Cameron Tabatabael, Brandon Romain, Christopher Sabat, Shaheem Purdon, Shiomare Peters, Nathaniel Chung, Keneth Souttier, Khalid Duncan, Jordan Wright, Tyus Hibbert and David Richards. This was a high-scoring game with the Dolphins taking the win 50-26. The Dolphins bantam team gave a great performance. Quarterback Jaylen La Tou- che, who had his best game of the season, combining with wide receiver Justice Johnson, threw for 55-yard and 35-yard touchdowns. Justice Johnson juked and jived his way to three touchdowns. He also kicked in a 35-yard field goal. Jor- dan Grimes rushed in a touchdown and had a 60-yard TD denied, due to penal- ty. There were some big defensive plays. Sean Foreman and Dylan Colthirst both forced fumble recoveries. Nathaniel Ben- jamin, Kasean Bennett, Shareef Tuck- er, Jorin Grant, Alex Doucette, Matthew Romain, Mark Cruciano, George Goudo- gianis and Julian Ward-Williams all had a stalwart performance. It was a total team effort that resulted in a 30-8 win for the Dolphins. The Dolphins kicked off their breast cancer awareness campaign at Sun- day’s COMFL games. Pink balloons were sold and released into the air by play- ers from both teams and their parents/ siblings during halftime ceremonies at each game. The players also showed their support by wearing pink laces, tape and socks. The club donated $5 for each TD scored by the Dolphins during the day. The event was a great success. PICKERINGPICKERINGADVERTISING FEATURE Winter is just around the corner and the last thing you want to do is spend the cold months shivering from the drafts coming in from your windows and doors. It’s not too late to have new windows and doors installed! It may be tempting to pick up some windows and install them yourself, but you may find that you’re not getting the highest quality windows and the installation is trickier than it seems. Even if you buy the best windows on the market, if they are not installed and sealed properly, they essentially become worthless. “If a window or door is not installed properly, you can get drafts coming into the house,” explains Wayne Hutchinson, owner of Durham Windows and Doors. “I often get calls from people who have tried to install windows themselves or have used a friend or family member to come out and fix the installation.” Homeowners can save themselves the cost and trouble by having their windows and doors done properly the first time. Specializing only in windows and doors, Wayne and his staff have earned a reputation for their great work. Wayne will come to your house to measure and will bring with him samples of the windows that he has available. Not only can you shop from the comfort of your own home, but you can also see exactly how the windows will look. “After being in this business for 34 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Homeowners may also be tempted to hire a company that is willing to work under the table. The problem is that while they may save money short-term, it could cost them everything in the long run. If a worker is not insured and gets injured in your home, you are liable. Fly by night companies also won’t be around to honour warranties or help with any issues that come up. All of the installers at Durham Windows and Doors are staff, not subcontractors, are fully insured and have their WSIB certificates. Beat the Fall rush and call for your appointment today! Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King Street West in Oshawa. For more information, please call Wayne at (905) 579-2222 or 1-888-576-8575.

After some close, hard-fought battles took place on the opening day against Barrie, Milton and Mooredale, Pickering ended up in third place to move on to the consola- tion semifinals. The Sunday semifinal game was against King City and was very close, with Pickering winning 1-0, with Alexis Sgovio scoring the winning goal in the second half with 10 minutes to go. This advanced the team to the consolation finals where a rematch between Milton and Pickering took place. Milton came out strong and finished the first half one up over Pickering. However, the All-Stars never gave up all season and played often with their backs against the wall, always working together to start a comeback. A few minutes into the second half Pickering tied it 1-1 with a goal scored by Gillian McLaren just outside the 18-yard box. With the momentum in their favour they kept looking ahead and ended up scoring once again with 12 minutes left in the game by a great goal from Brittney Yiu. With minutes left, Charlize Theodoru kept her brick wall not allowing any more goals and the team won the final match to end the season as consolation champions. Coach Gino Sgovio said, “The girls played great all year and over the last few seasons have grown into a success story. They never gave up even when everything was against us and many times proved how hard work pays off. Their positive team spirit allowed them to always pick themselves up and keep working on a common goal togeth- er, and I am very proud of all their accom- plishments and am honoured to have been part of this team.” The team is made up of coach Chris Ford, coach Gino Sgovio, Charlize The- odoru, Kyra Jackson, Heather Knight, Gil- lian McLaren, Brittney Yiu, Devyn Ford, Marissa Efthimiaoes, Brianna Bush, Nata- lie Andrews, Danielle DesVignes, Sophie Reid, Erin Leung, Olivia Henry, Hillary VanBerkum, Claudia Zelko, Alexis Sgov- io, Maria Victoria Kavanagh, Felicia Chin King, Natasha Uhrig. SOCCER Pickering All-Star team wins consolation final PICKERING -- The Pickering All-Star U12 soccer team won the consolation champion- ship of a tournament in Aurora, beating Milton in the final. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 7, 201123 AP DURHAM -- The second week of high school football signalled the begin- ning of the Tier One senior and junior leagues. Tier One Senior Wilson 42, St. Mary 0 Chivon Gallagher put on a clinic in the Tier One senior season open- er. Gallagher, who plays on both offence and defence, contributed two key interceptions, a fumble recovery, a fake punt which he ran for a first down, a touchdown, five converts and an Earl Anderson-type leap as the Gators exploded for five touchdowns in just over one quarter of football. Pickering 28, Holy Trinity 13 The defending league and Metro Bowl champions tasted defeat in their opening game of the 2011 season as they fell to the Pickering Trojans 28-13. The Trojans relied on the ground attack of Tristan Clough and Rae- kwon Grant as well as the arm of quarterback Jesse St. John, who connect- ed for several long pass completions with his favourite target being the fleet-footed Evan Joynes. Clough, on short runs from the two- and one- yard line, posted both first-half touchdowns. Both touchdowns were con- verted by Mike Stobbart, who finished the day with a four-for-four effort. The Titans struck in the third quarter when Nik Shymko found the end zone from 15 yards out, however, St. John immediately connected with Joynes for a 75-yard pass and run. The teams exchanged fourth-quarter touchdowns as Nathaniel Allen (from the one) and Raekwon Grant (two- yard carry) closed out the scoring. Tier Two Senior Sinclair 22, Richardson 0 The Celtics evened their record at 1-1 as they shut out the Richardson Storm 22-0. The Storm fell to 0-2 with the loss. Pine Ridge 27, Denis O’Connor 14 Pine Ridge has opened with two wins as they turned back the 0-2 Denis O’Connor Chargers 27-14. Complete scoring details were not available. Uxbridge 8, Notre Dame 7 Chris Gladney’s punt single in the opening quarter proved to be the dif- ference as the Uxbridge Tigers edged by the Notre Dame Cougars 8-7. The win lifted the Tigers record to 2-0. Notre Dame were playing their season opener. Kouvhan Dakin opened the game with an electrifying kickoff return to give the Cougars the early lead. Brandon Dixon upped the margin to seven with the convert. Gladney’s punt single reduced the lead to 7-1 later in the opening quarter. In the second quarter, Jacob Wil- son (from one yard out) knotted the game at seven. Lee Cowie added the point after to close out the scoring in this tight defensively played game. Tier One Junior Wilson 48, St. Mary 6 The junior Gators tallied seven touchdowns before the half as they won their Tier One season opener 48-6 over the St. Mary Monarchs. The Mon- archs had the only scoring play of the second half as quarterback Provo Raishaun scored from four yards out to avoid the shutout. Friday, September 30 Holy Trinity 25, Pickering 0 The Holy Trinity junior team parlayed a long opening drive march for a touchdown along with two successful onside kicks into 24 minutes of ball possession to open the game. Finding themselves in a 12-0 deficit, the Trojans immediately turned the ball over on a fumble on their open- ing snap and the Titans struck for a third touchdown less than a minute later to up the margin to 18. With just over two minutes remaining, the Titans added a fourth touchdown on a 17-yard run by Derek Cyr. The first three Titan touchdowns were by Nathan Jones (12 yards) and quar- terback Chris Waldinsperger with two one-yard keepers. Jon Codrington added a convert on the final touchdown. Tier Two Junior Bowmanville 28, Dunbarton 12 The Bowmanville Talons recorded their second consecutive victory to start the season. In each of the two games to date, Kyler Woodburn has contributed 20 scoring points with three touchdowns and a two-point convert. Also scoring for the Talons were Kyle Kelly with a touchdown and Jake Gagnoc with a two-point convert. Adonis Martin posted both touchdowns for the Spartans who were playing their first game of the sea- son. Eastdale 21, Pine Ridge 6 The Eagles have opened the season with back-to-back victories as they downed the Pumas 21-6. With two touchdowns, Riley Palmer has now tallied seven majors for the season. Tyler Simpson also picked up a touch- down for the defending champions while Ben Donnelly was successful on all three convert attempts. Replying for the Pumas, who are winless after two games, was Khoysa Henderson.
