L IS 2H5 Publisher: Tim Whittaker ♦ Editorial Cracking down on drunk drivers Everybody says they're against drinking and dri- ving, but every year at this time officers on the RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) patrol find many people who don't practise what they preach. It is that time of year again, and RIDE will be out in force beginning today and continuing for the next six weeks. A team of nine Durham Regional Police officers and others from Ontario Provincial Police will be planted roadside to apprehend those who've been drinking and driving. Last year Durham police and the OPP checked more than 35,000 motorists in Durham Region, charging 64 with impaired driving and dishing out 12 -hour suspensions to another 93. That doesn't compare favourably with the 13 motorists charged with impaired driving out of 29.800 vehicles stopped during the RIDE program over the 1995-96 holiday period. But RIDE charges are just a small part of the scourge of drunk driving. According to statistics pro- vided by the Ontario Community Council on Im- paired Driving (OCCID), a public awareness group whose goal is to stamp out drunk driving in Ontario: • drinking and driving is the largest criminal cause of death and injury in Canada; • of 176 pedestrians killed in 1994, 57 per cent of them involved either the use of alcohol by the victim or the driver of the vehicle that struck them; • the Ministry of Transportation estimates the an- nual social costs of drinking/driving collisions to be at least $2 billion. Social cost estimate includes the direct costs (property damage, emergency response, medical) and indirect costs (pain and suffering, lost future income). Because drinking and driving is a menace to all, because RIDE stats indicate it is not decreasing but rather increasing and because we believe anything at all which can be done to reduce and eliminate drink- ing and driving is vital, we will be printing the names of those charged with impaired driving, or with refusing to take a breathalyser test for the dura- tion of the RIDE program. The names, to be released weekly by the OPP and Durham police, will appear in the News Advertiser for the six weeks RIDE runs. We hope the publicity will have an effect. Let's all work together to eliminate drunk driving.

I, myself, wouldn't like my name published as being a drunk driver." "As a deterrent to drunk driving the media should report the names of people convicted of impaired driving, not (those) charged" "I do believe people charged with im- paired driving should have their names put in the paper. It's a very good idea" 'Iliere are too many people seriously injured and too many people killed. To so many people, the Christmas season only means going out and getting dnmk' "It's definitely correct.. They should have their names published so we know who they arc. There's no reason for this not to be done" "By all means, report the names.- -Yes, ames" "Yes, I think the names should be printed. It may help a little bit, and if it does then that's a bonds" " hc•y should (report names), espe- cially if it's a repeat offender. If it's some- one who does it a first time, then it shouldn't necessarily be reported" "I believe names and addresses should be put in the local paper. Until the person gets their licence back, their car should be impounded for a full year and the person should be charged an im- pounding fee for that year. And, when they get their licence and their car back, a special licence plate should be put on the back of the car ..so we know they're a threat on the highway. For that whole year, they should also do volunteer work in the community." "Yes, I believe in it 100 per cent. I think we should let the neighbourhood know who these drunks are. I mean, if they're going to be a threat to society, Id's keep thein off the roads" "Dnmk driving is an offence which takes lives. And, yes, I do think the names of offenders should be published as a determent. I think that would be a real deterrent to people.

But, mostly. it's a new start, a clean slate. So, like many people on New Year's Eve, I'm making a wish — actually several — for the new council. My wish list: O Mayor Steve Parish states his opInion without using the word "notwistanding". Makes him sound like know-it-all lawyer. O Wards I and 2 Regional Council Scott Crawford gets more than o haircut over the next three years. O Wards 3 and 4 Regional Council Jim McMaster has the patience of J as he'll be sitting within an arm length of Oshawa Councillor Bri Nicholso n at regional council meeting U Ward I local Councillor Danielle Holmes won't end phone calls widt- "Bye bye". Makes her sound like to stewardess. She should say "Lager dude" or "Have a good one" or ')Get lost, you useless journalistic blight ow. society " O Ward 2 local Councillor Joe Dickso stops his outright lying when he say "I'll be brief". He's about as brief as I am tall. ❑ Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown brings even more candies to meetings. For this, she'd be my favourite council- lor of all time. Another wish 1 have is that each and every Monday night council or com- mittee meetings end at 8 p.m., or earli- er if the Leafs are on the tube. (Fat chance.) I also wish the council chambers were licensed. Then, I wouldn't care how long the meetings went. In fact, I'd be there early and stay late. (Fatter chance, says the boss). 1 wish the Boston Red Sox would win the World Series. (Outright corpu- lent chance.) Tbey'll probably win it on a Monday night, when Ajax Council decides to carry on until midnight or so. Keith Gilligan writes in our Friday rota- tion of staff colmnnists.

While staff at that school are "excit- ed" by the results. "we have to put it in context;' admits principal Geri Soloman. "We have a group of students who did very well, but it is one snapshot" in a se- ries of tests. "From year to year. the re- sults will vary." Still. "we are very proud;' adds Ms. Soloman. "Our staff believe in the kids and believe in challenging them" Among the schcx)ls with the lowest marks were Glen Street Public School in Oshawa, where 34 per cent of students passed or did better in math. At Sir John A. Macdonald in Pickering, just five per cent passed or did better in writing. The board has already begun an analvsis of schools that did very well, ac- cording to Ms. Freedman. lite percentage of students passi„g 82 per cent in reading, 81 per cent in writing and 73 per cent in math. That did- n't surprise Ms. Freedman, who says the board has concentrated on linguistics for the past few years. "Coincidentally, we're moving towards a stronger focus in math;' adds Ms. Freedman. Schools have been instructed to send home with students who wrote the exam last year an information fielder on the tests. Ms. Freedman encourages parents who want to learn more about the tests to attend school community council meet- ings, most of which should be held be- fore Christmas holidays. ATTENTION WRITERS!

Charter schools began ap- pearing in Alberta just over two years ago when Ralph Klein's provincial govern- ment amended the School Act to allow for additional choice in curriculum and education -delivery methods in the province. But, some Durham parents say the school system in Alberta opens the door to two-tiered education. Joanne Dies, a parent at Glengrove Public School in Pickering, says she doesn't like what she's been finding out in her investiga- tions of charter schools. run by a corporate body to provide a different ed- ucational environment to im- prove student learning. -I'm totally against charter schools:' she says. "It's a two- tiered system. The theory of it sounds wonderful but when you take it apart...it can't work " According to Sandra Shcp- itka-Boyle, charter school co- ordinator for Education Alber- ta, charter schools "offer a unique set of educational ser - vices that are not available within the public school sys- tem" Ms. Shepitka-Boyle says the schools are generally run by a parents' council and notes the teachers are typical- ly not members of a teachers' federation. There are now I 1 charter schools with a total of 1,900 students out of a pupil population of nearly half a million in Alberta, she says. And although the PATTY BOWMAN 'Community strengths' schools follow the Province's curricu- lum, they also offer specialized pro- grams in a variety of areas, including everything from the arts to educating street kids. Ms. Dies — says while the schools -promise" more parental in- volvement, she's discovering there's a cost to pay for the increased participation. Ms. Shcpitka-Boyle says the education funding Alberta grants per student, whether in a charter school or public school, is $3.686. However, she reports charter schools don't receive capital funds or finances for renovations, so money is often raised through charging students fees.

"It's another form of priva- tization:' says Ms. Dies, who believes it's the direction in which the Province is steering education in Ontario. "We've already seen the government demoralize the system. They're clearly trying to make us believe the system as we know it isn't working" Whitby Durham Board of Education trustee Patty Bow- man says if parents are searching for alternatives in the delivery of education, they really don't have to look any further than the public school system itself. In order for that system to work it has to build schools "from the ground up that reflect community strengths" Ms. Bowman says she's all for creating alternatives, but that can be accomplished within the confines of one publicly 'funded school sys- tem."We're trying to respond every time we open a school:' She points to the modified school year at Whitby's C.E. Broughton Public School and the "heavy emphasis" on tech- nology at Whitby's John Dry- den Public School as two ex- amples of attempts to meet the needs of area residents. Ms. Bowman, who has spoken out in favour of creat- ing alternatives within the sys- tem, says the "key is to allow the communities surrounding each school to influence what the structure and programs look like in those schools" When asked if the govern- ment's educational reforms will allow for such flexibility in the future, she says, ""[Here is no limit on the natural re- source of creativity- Ms. Bowman adds creativity and innovation will make a differ- ence as the Province reforms the education system.

Those are some of the recommenda- tions the Local Education Improve- ment Committee (LEIC) is submitting to the Education Improvement Com- mission (EIC) for the transition to the new board which comes into effect Jan. Under the Fewer School Boards Act, the provincial government is re- ducing the number of school boards in Ontario, slashing the number of trustees on each board and changing the role trustees will play in the educa- tion system. Bill Fairburn, Brock trustee and chairman of the LEIC in Durham, told the board Monday the committee is recommending the new board be named the Durham District School Board, that it have fewer permanent com- mittees, that it only hold one board meeting a month and that trustees receive a $5,000 honorarium with an addition- al $5,000 compensation for the chairman and an addition- al $4,000 for vice-chairman of the board. "Mow we await the EIC approval of our work plan;' said Mr. Fairburn, who reported the LEIC will present the ap- proved plan to members of the new board prior to year's end. sitting g time with school-age children, and ld a current St. John Ambulance ndard first-aid certificate, why' not However, Whitby trustee Doug Ross questioned whether the "work- load will be less" for new trustees and expressed concern over reduc- ing the number of board meet- ings a month. But, board director Grant Yeo said the LEIC's recom- mendations regarding trustees reflect "what is considered to be a part-time position. The message from the ministry is that the job is different" While many of the changes will come into effect in Janu- ary, Mr. Yeo said the board's name change will be a gradual process in which its "signage and logo will come into ques- tion". Mr. Yeo said estimates from boards that have previously undergone a name change indicate it could cost as much as $100,000.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1997 - PAGE 17 Tax revolt? Pickering backs GTA plan to withhold taxes from Province BY MARIANNE TAKACS STAFF REPORTER PICKERING — Town Council went out swinging at its last meeting Monday night before the inaugura- tion of a new Council next week. And the punches were aimed at the Province, as councillors endorsed plans by GTA munici- pal leaders to pro- tect taxpayers from the expected costs of provin- cial downloading in areas such as welfare and so- cial housing. Councillors endorsed a reso- lution, recently approved by GTA mayors and chair- men, directing a committee of Toronto -area mu- nicipal staff to calculate how much property tax revenue GTA members should forward to the Province in order to keep the downloading process revenue -neutral as promised by Queen's Park. The goal, explained Mayor Wayne Arthurs, is for GTA municipalities to determine "how much we're going to turn over to the Province as opposed to what the Province thinks it will get." Mayor Arthurs said GTA municipalities are "quite serious" about not handing over some of the education property tax the Province expects to get as it takes control of educa- tion spending, if that is required to make sure towns and cities will not have to raise their own property taxes to pay for the extra responsibilities in welfare and social housing. "Our job is to en- sure that at the end of the day, for the - purposes of our taxpayers, (the exchange of responsibilities) is rev- enue -neutral;" stated the WAY NE ARTHURS 'Quite serious' mayor. He said GTA members will present a common front to the Province on this issue, with a consis- tent approach among mem- hers on how taxes will be - collected and disbursed on behalf of the Province. Town Council also en- dorsed a resolution of the GTA mayors and chairmen calling for a continued freeze in the negotiations between the federal and provincial governments over social housing. The federal government is in the process of trans - (erring control over social housing to the provinces, explained Mayor Arthurs, and one of the issues that is stalling the talks be- tween Ottawa and Queen's Park is the Province's downloading of social housing to its municipali- ties. According to the mayor, many GTA leaders believe the federal government should maintain a role in social housing since the right to shelter is one of the "first principles" of the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights. Council also supported a request to the federal government from the GTA leaders for a report on what legal recourse is available to prevent the Province from download- ing the responsibility for social housing to munici- palities. Councillors noted sup- port from the federal gov- ernment on this issue would give municipalities more leverage with the Province in negotiations over downloading. 41•AGEI18- TRLNL'VIS ADWERTISDR'FRIi>olAa1 NOI'R.MBER-2& 1997 i : . . .':.: ,....', , V. , , . , . , . . , , , .

Pickering -Ajax -Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague says complaints about the strike from constituents are starting to pour in, and he wants the federal government to bring in back -to - work legislation to put an end to it. "It's an essen- tial service," says DAN Mr. McTeague, McTEAGUE noting the strike 'In everyone's by postal workers interest' is having a nega- tive impact on people who can ill afford it, such as local businesses and individuals de- pendent on government cheques. "I think it's in everyone's interest and in the interest of the common good to ask them to get back to work.- Mr. ork"Mr. McTeague says he is urging federal Minister of Public Works and Government Services Alfonso Gagliano to bring forward legisla- tion to end the strike as soon as pos- sible. "He will now begin to feel the heat from members like myself:" Among those calling Mr. McTeague's constituency office has been Alison McArthur of Pickering, who is on maternity leave following the birth of her son Brendan, now five months old. She has been told she can only get her E1 cheque at a federal human re- sources distribution centre set up in Oshawa to deal with the strike. She would have to take the baby and her other child, three-year-old Iain, with her to Oshawa to get her cheque. Calls to the federal human re- sources distribution centre went unanswered yesterday.

Durham Board of Education superinten- dent of education and programs Bev Freed- man reports the ministry recently denied a request that would have permitted the board to use $50,000 in surplus funds for the project. Ms. Freedman says the surplus funds she'd asked for were left over from a joint study conducted by school boards in the GTA with large francophone communities that were working with the federal and provincial governments to "ensure French - first language education within the GTA. "The study didn't spend all of its funds" so she had "hoped" the board would re- ceive the money as it's the only one in the GTA opening a French -first language school this year. She says the ministry turned down an initial proposal to use the money for a re- source centre at Ecole elementaire Anto- nine Maillet in Oshawa, the board's new French -first language school, and to devel- op a study project to ensure the success of students. While the Local Education Im- provement Committee had recommended the money be used to "market and publi- cize" the school, "the ministry saw other- wise. Ms. Freedman says the board received $7,5(X) which was ".sent to support the school." The students and staff of Ecole elemen- taire Antonine Maillet, based at T. R. McEwen Senior Public School, will cele- brate its official opening Dec. 12. The renowned francophone author after whom the sch(x)l is named will be the guest of honor.

Bill 109 — the Local Control of Public Li- braries Act — would also have eliminated the re- quirement for the majority of library board mem- bers to be citizen representatives rather than politicians, and allowed libraries to charge for many of the services they now provide free. The Pickering library was one of many across Ontario which sent representatives to Queen's Park to ex- press concerns about the new act. Minister of Citizenship, Culture and Recre- ation hsabcl Bassett announced the Province would scrap Bill 109 at an Ontario Library Asso- ciation policy, forum Nov. 7. "Immediately, the funding is important:' says Pickering chief librarian Sandy Cameron. "in the long run the (existing) act is imp)rtant." Among the concerns about the new act was its potential to politicize library boards and their de- cisions, since citizen representatives could lose their majority on the hoards. There was also the threat libraries would be- pushed toward charging fees to homm, items such as videotapes or obtain access to computerized databases, since under the new act libraries would only have been prohibit- ed from charging people to borrow "printed ma- terial". The elimination of provincial grants was of most concern to small libraries in northern mu- nicipalities which get as much as 50 per cent of their revenue from the Province. But it was still important to the Pickering library, which works with a budget of about $2.5 million, most of it provided by the Town. "it would have been very hard to make up:' says Mr. Cameron. Before Queen's Park with- drew the new bill, the local board's plan had been to impose a $12 annual fee for the borrowing of entertainment videos, which was expected to bring in about $50,000, while the rest of the shortfall would have been made up with internal savings such as buying fewer new hooks. Mr. Cameron believes the provincial govern- ment dropped Bill 109 because of heavy lobbying against it by libraries across Ontario, at Queen's Park and with local MPPs. "There is no question they were feeling a lot of pressure from their backbenchers" He notes the withdrawal of the new legislation is also important as it keeps the Province involved in the public library system, which he suggests will likely provide tx:tte_r protection for principles such as free and open access to it. In the area of funding. Mr. Cameron says the only information the Pickering library has heard so far from the Province is that the $90,(XX) it re- ceived for 1997 will once again be granted in 1998. The 1997 grant was already considerably reduced. having been cut by 20 per cent in each of 1990 and 1997. Pickering library board chairman Jill Foster welcomes the death of Bill 109 and also suggests its demise was essential to preserving public ac- cess to the library system. "At a time when people arc constantly trying to upgrade and access information, it's the public source of information we can always count on." She says it will be interesting to see whether the Province tries to introduce another new li- bran, hill in the future.

Aid charity, reduce taxes, feelgood a11 over BY ED OLKOVICH SPECIAL TO THE NEWS ADVERTISER Everyone does it because it is so satisfying. Giving to your favorite causes helps the charities that make a dif- ference in your life. You gain certain advan- tages when you include a charitable gift in your will. A tax credit from the gift re- duces what your estate has to pay. This can leave more for your loved ones and friends and in turn lets you be more generous support- ing a charity. Here are some ideas for charitable gifts or bequests in your will which you may never have considered: I. Cash gifts: The most common bequests in a will are flexible and relatively easy to make. You give a specific amount, a percent- age of the estate or all or a portion of the residue. The residue would be what is left over in your estate after all your obligations and specif- ic instructions are covered. 2. Specific property gifts: Stocks, real estate and art for example can be given by will. The proceeds from the sale of any such item would benefit the charity. 3. Life insurance poli- cies: Your premium can be tax deductible while you are alive. Buy a new policy and transfer it to a charity, or transfer one that you no longer require. You can des- ignate a charity as an alter- nate beneficiary on an exist- ing policy, although on its own it will not render the premiums tax deductible. 4. Residual gifts: If no one survives you or you wish to have a contingent beneficiary, then a charity can receive the gift. You must plan charitable gifts carefully. Have a lawyer and ac- countant review your will because income tax rules have changed favorably for estates. There are a few rules Ajax begins planning its future Tliesday AJAX — The first of c what promises to be one of ti many public meetings on the o Ajax official plan review is being held next week.

Oshawa battery plant officials work to make company cost-effective By BRIAN LEGREE 1)URHAM STA IT OSHAWA - Oshawa's General Mo- tors' battery plant is "either going to get cost-effective and competitive or it's going to be closed:' Canadian Auto Work- ers' officials have been told. Don Whalen. CAW Local 222 GM plant chairman, says union officials and local General Motors' management met Tuesday in Toronto with representatives of Delphi Energy and Engine Manage- ment Systems, a division of GM which operates six battery plants in Canada and the United States. "They told us all plants are under scrutiny:' says Mr. Whalen. Delphi officials indicated the Oshawa plant, which employs 297 workers. has the highest cost -per -battery and lowest battery production -per -hour among the six plants. Oshawa is the Ione Canadian plant, the other five are In t ie United States. A Delphi plant in Indiana makes $5.60 (U.S.) profit per battery, while Oshawa makes a per -battery profit of $0.97 (U.S). CAW officials were told, says Mr. Whalen. "One good thing is they're not losing money:' says Mr. Whalen, adding, "the profits are not as high as they'd like them to be" CAW, GM and Delphi officials dis- cussed ways to make the Oshawa plant more cost-efficient. -We have been working with the union to try to find ways to improve the produc- tivity of the plant:' says Greg Gibson, GM spokesman. "We still have a long way to go. We need to demonstrate we can run the plant at a reasonable profit" GM and Delphi officials are looking at different suppliers and changing some ad- ministrative work practices. says Mr. Whalen. "I've told them they can't touch wages and benefits:' says Mr. Whalen. Reports in May suggested Delphi was considering opening two super -battery plants in Mexico and the U.S. and turning existing plants into distribution centres, but that plan has been abandoned, he says. -1 feel a little more confident:' about the Oshawa plant's chances for survival, says Mr. Whalen. "I asked if we are flog- ging a dead horse and he said their prefer- ence is to build batteries in Canada to use in Canada. We have to try and do our part but there are other factors - (GM) man- agement has to do its part:' Local GM management is going "back to the drawing board" to see if further cost -efficiencies can be found at the Os- hawa plant, says Mr. Whalen. GM and Local 222 officials will meet with Delphi representatives Jan. 28 to out- line an action plan, he says. Mr. Whalen says he believes under the terms of the GM -CAW collective agree- ment, the battery plant jobs are protected through to the fall of 1999. Man accused in toddler's death back in court on new charges Breach of bail conditions cited OSHAWA -- A 30 -year-old Oshawa man accused of manslaughter in the death of a two-year-old Courtice boy ap- peared in court Wednesday facing new charges of breaching his bail conditions. Craig Schneider, of Roundelay Drive in Oshawa, was recently charged with five counts of breaching a recognizance order that included a condition he not communicate with the mother of the boy he's accused of killing. He has since been released on a $35,000 bond. Mr. Schneider, a corrections officer, is charged with causing the Oct. 6 death of Zachary Thomson Underwood. Zachary died 48 hours after he was rushed to hospital from his mother's Kintyre Street home in Courtice. He was unresponsive at the time. An autopsy concluded Zachary died of brain swelling caused by massive head trauma. Durham Regional Police contend the injuries were consistent with that of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Mr. Schneider, through his lawyer, has maintained he was carrying his girl- friend's son in his arms in the house while babysitting when he slipped on a toy and fell on top of the child. Accompanied by several family members, he made a brief appearance in Oshawa provincial court, at which a two-hour pretrial in his case was sched- uled for Jan. 21. photo by Jason Liebregts To the finish Michael Gale of Ajax competes with a smile at the Durham Region Police Disabled Games hosted last weekend at the Pickering Recreation Complex.

It has huge limey -yel- low leaves, grows 30 inch- es high and will form a mound up to six feet wide. Sum and Substance has pale lavender flowers in August. Astilbe, or false spires, is another favorite summer flowering perennial. They have a flower display that is unrivaled by any other shade -tolerant perennials. Astilbe has airy, fern -like shiny green leaves and the flowers are gorgeous, graceful plumes held on strong stems above the fo- liage. These plants will do best in a moist soil and pre- fer a site that receives morning sun. although they will do well with a few hours of afternoon sun. Astilbc are ideal in a 'woodland' garden or around a water feature. Incorporating peat moss or compost into the soil be- fore planting will help the soil retain moisture and nu- trients as astilbes are heavy feeders and soak up regular applications of fertilizer. There are over 100 dif- ferent varieties of astilbe available, by planting sev- eral different varieties you could have color in a dim corner of your garden all Christmas is a difficult time for many people. It is traditionally the season "to be jolly" and the time for family and friends to be together. When THIS Christmas is different because we have had a loss either through, death, separation, or circumstance it is all the more depressing. We often put high expectations on Christmas and most often people feel they come up short. As pan of our afternoon Dr. Bill Webster will share with participants some helpful hints on handling the holidays as well as giving some understanding of the grief process. Some practical suggestions helping people plan ahead and decide what is really important will be offered. We will also give some recommendations on helping children cope with the loss.

Look also for the Chi- nese astilbe which grows in a lower, spreading form and flowers later in the summer. The flowers of astilhe can be cut and brought indoors to add an unusual texture to flower arrangements. Or, for those interested in crafting, the flowers dry well if they are cut just as the buds are beginning to open.

This unusually -named perennial grows well in al- most every type of soil imaginable. Large thick glossy leaves are evergreen and one of the first plants apparent in the perennial border after the snow melts. Rose -pink flowers rise above the leaves early in the spring. In autumn this plant adds another color to the garden as its leaves turn reddish -bronze for winter. Don't cut Elephant Ears back in the fall as it prefers to be left alone. When the centre of the plant dies out (after about four years) the clump should be dug up and di- vided after blooming in spring. A lesser-known perenni- al that performs well in a shady garden is Monks- hood (Aconitum napellus). Monkshood is valued be- cause of its purple or blue flowers that line the tall stems of the plant from mid -summer until frost. The blooms last well as cut flowers and are used by florists in non-traditional arrangements. Monkshood can reach a height of 120 - 150 cm and so should be placed near the back of borders. However there are com- pact varieties available, so refer to the plant label be- fore placing monkshood in your garden.

The Archbishop Denis O'Connor Catholic High School Chargers' senior girls' basketball team of Ajax defeated Pickering's Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas 35-22 1n the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics champi- onship game at Whithy's Father Leo Austin Catholic Secondary School Wednesday night. Since the beginning of the season, the Chargers have worn T-shirts during pre -game warm-ups emblazoned with the slogan "DO'C Chargers on a mission to win". With the LOSSA victory, the team has partly accom- plished its goals. "Last night we accomplished the first part of our mission;' says DO'C co -coach Rose Baker. The next comes when the two teams advance to the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations regional playdowns next month. And, the Chargers did it with a strong de- fensive effort which kept the Pumas off bal- ance during the game. O'Connor's solid de- fence also compensated for a lack of shooting prowess in the final. " We didn't shoot very well from the flocs:' sans Baker. -'They shot much better than we did" The Chargers cffcctivcly neutralized Pine Ridge's big shocltcrs Danielle North and Na- talie Higgins, keeping them from taking con- trol of the game as they've done so often this season. "Defence definitely won it for us;' says Baker. "We were able to shut down their big scorers. They have two good shooters and we wanted to keep them from scoring. We put our biggest player. Ann -Marie Brissett. on North and we kind of shut her down. - Katie Simkins was the leading scorer for Denis O'Connor with II points. Candace Chapman chipped in with seven and Brissett contributed six. The LOSSA victory was the 10th consecu- tive league win for the Chargers this season. The squad won seven regular games and three playoff contests. Overall, the club has an out- standing mark of 28-4 in league and tourna- ment play. DO'C and Pine Ridge will represent LOSSA at the OFSAA regional playdowns Dec. 4 to 6. The Chargers will play at Pine Ridge in one regional tournament. while the Pumas will travel to Kingston. Members of the DO'C Chargers are Leann Samuel, Nikki Brown, Candace Chapman, Shannon Goff. Trish Montes. laymie Cabana - ton. Ann -Ma. -ie Brissett. Katie Simkins, Onic- ka Stewart and Sonia Godding.
