Locked prisoner compound to be built Escape of murder suspect prompts more calls for new Durham courthouse See AGREEMENT page 2 Johnsons, municipalities reach deal Pickering councillor required to restore Town Line, plant at least 30 trees BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —The City of Pickering and Uxbridge Township have reached an out-of-court agree- ment with Councillor Rick Johnson over roadwork he did last year at his north Pickering property. The Ward 3 Regional Council- lor has been given until Oct. 15 to restore Uxbridge-Pickering Town Line between Westney Road and the eastern limit of his 100-acre property. “Is anyone happy with the over- all situation? No,” Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs said in an interview. “We weren’t happy to find our- BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––A new security enclosure will be built at the rear of the regional headquarters and cour- thouse following the escape of an accused first-degree murderer last Friday, Sept. 27. Durham Regional council approved the construc- tion of a locked chain-link compound for the transfer of prisoners into the 605 Rossland Rd. Whitby court- house unanimously Wednesday after receiving a re- quest from Police Chief Kevin McAlpine. “We take full responsibility for what happened Fri- day. It shouldn’t have happened but putting this com- pound in place will reduce the risk” of prisoner es- cape, said the chief. Durham Regional Police Services is the middleman in the transfer of prisoners from the Whitby jail to the courthouse, the chief told council. On either end, there are employees of the jail and the courts who also han- dle the prisoners, he noted. However, he reiterated, the prisoner was in the custody of the Durham police at the time of escape so the force accepts responsibility. The incident is still under investigation. At 8:40 a.m. last Friday, Cosmo Jacobson, who was to appear in court, slipped out of handcuffs and leg irons and escaped just after arriving at the courthouse in the police wagon. The regional building is the only Durham court facility without a secure compound for prisoner transfer. The lack of appropriate courthouse facilities could be one factor contributing to the incident, suggested Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. “If the Province had done what it said 10 years ago, a courthouse would be up and operating in Oshawa selves in this situation but we thought it would better to bring it to some resolution.” A remedial plan worked out in the settlement re- quires Coun. Johnson to con- struct a 3.65- metre laneway with proper ditch- es in the road al- lowance, and all other disturbed areas to be re- stored. That includes the planting of a minimum of 30 mature trees rang- ing from one to six feet in height. The trees must be a native species and transplanted from adjoining lands to ensure root protection and growth. Coun. Johnson must also erect and maintain a locked gate across the laneway at Town Line and Westney to pre- vent vehicles from entering. Only he and his wife, Susan will have unrestricted ac- cess to the laneway. Uxbridge filed a lawsuit against Pickering and Coun. Johnson last fall after learning about the work along Town Line to reach his lot. He also cleared a portion of Sideline 8. Coun. Johnson has said he had approval for the work, which was launched during the Simcoe long weekend in 2001, but City officials maintain that was- n’t the case. Last Novem- ber, Pickering council ordered Coun. Johnson to restore the proper- ty or the City would and bill the Johnsons. The Pickering councillor launched his own countersuit against Uxbridge and Pickering, claiming the road- way was an opened road al- lowance left in disrepair. Both actions stand in limbo until a case con- ference Oct. 30, at which time all claims will be dis- missed if the Johnsons have complied with the settlement’s re- quirements. Coun. Johnson said Tuesday he was confident he could complete the work but refused to comment fur- ther on the advice of his lawyer. The settlement also amends the boundary road agreement between Uxbridge and Pickering to give Pickering exclusive responsibility for the maintenance and repair of that stretch of Town Line. It states in the future a mainte- nance agreement can be worked out between Pickering and the John- sons, but any reconstruction, im- provements or cutting of trees or re- moval of vegetation can’t take place without the approval of Pickering and Uxbridge councils.

It’s a waste of time and I’m not going,” said Ajax Mayor Steve Parish Wednesday afternoon as other members of regional council prepared to head to Gravenhurst for the retreat. In a Sept. 23 letter to Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, Mayor Parish said although he has “absolute- ly no problem with council and senior staff getting away from the normal business environment for a retreat” he has “several concerns with the timing and content” of this one. The retreat, which started Wednes- day evening at the Muskoka Sands Conference Centre and ended at noon today, was to include discussions on the amendments to drinking water protection regulations, a “vision” ses- sion with presentations from the Re- gion’s department heads, a 2003 bud- get guideline overview, and a discus- sion on the roles of committee chair- men. Reaction to the itinerary from members of council was mixed. “From time to time it behoves us to get together and discuss the issues,” Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle said, noting there was a need to “find some strategic direction” for the Region. “We are always responding to issues. Whitby is the only municipality I know of that has a strategic plan. It’s like being in a car going down a road and not knowing where you’re going.” But Oshawa Mayor Nancy Dia- mond said she didn’t believe the itin- erary set out for the retreat will ac- complish much. She noted there were no sessions on the proposed regional headquarters project or governance is- sues. “This agenda is very lacking in content,” she said. “And I don’t under- stand why we couldn’t have found some place closer.” She noted at the last retreat minutes were taken during a session even though no one was even told they were attending a formal meeting. “I’m almost at the point I am afraid not to go. If you don’t go, your community doesn’t have a voice,” she said. Clarington Mayor John Mutton said he is not convinced it will be a productive exercise but “not being there is not an option. I don’t know what deals might be made without me there.” Regional chairman Anderson says all councillors were invited to give their input into the agenda. Planning for the retreat began in July, he said. “They had the opportunity to provide us with an issue they would like to be brought up,” he said. However, he added, the Oshawa mayor’s desire to discuss governance would not be pro- ductive. “I don’t know how many times we are going to kick ourselves in the head. It’s time to move on. I’m tired of people saying we don’t know if the Region will be here (in the future). I don’t know if the lower tier (munici- palities) will be here. That’s a debate we don’t want to go into anymore. It’s time to proceed with what we have, a two-tier system and get the business done.” As to the regional headquarters, the chairman says the request for propos- al submissions will be back in 60 days and “a debate will take place then.” The chairman said the cost for the retreat works out to $235 per person, including meals and accommodation. Twenty-eight members of council were invited, along with at least seven department heads. Additional costs in- clude wine for two evening meals, a hospitality room, a bartender for the room at $15 per hour plus gratuity, glassware for the room at $2 per day per person and the cost of liquor, wine, beer, pop and miscellaneous items Durham is taking to the hospi- tality room. The chairman noted council ap- proved $20,000 in the 2002 budget for conference expenses like this and to date there were no costs allocated to that budget item.

Doug McKay, chairman of the Ajax-Pickering United Way board of directors, said the SDC was “moving into areas we don’t feel we should fund”. Speaking to Ajax coun- cil Monday, Mr. McKay also denied a suggestion the United Way plans to stop all funding to the SDC. “They’re mandated to re- search the social needs of Ajax and Pickering, finding meth- ods to solving them,” Mr. McKay said in an interview. “They’ve taken on a Durham Region mentality.” He added the Ajax-Picker- ing United Way collects funds in the two communities, but the SDC was “going into Os- hawa, Whitby and Brock. “We support them and we gave money for the Ajax-Pick- ering portion. They’re support- ing programs outside Ajax and Pickering we can’t support. It’s not that they’re running a poor program.” On Sept. 9, SDC officials appealed to Ajax council for help getting more money from the United Way. In the past, funding had reached as much as $80,000 annually, but this year it was almost $50,000. Without the extra $30,000, the SDC says it would have to stop offering its information centre services. Mr. McKay told councillors the council went through the United Way’s evaluation and appeals processes. “Yes, there’s a funding shortfall, but only after we had numerous discussions with them by myself and our execu- tive director (Edna Klazek),” Mr. McKay stated. If funding is reduced, the reasoning is explained to the organizations, he added, not- ing the agency could file a re- quest for funding again next year. “We want to fund or- ganizations that are run efficiently and effec- tively and serve the res- idents of our communi- ties,” Mr. McKay stat- ed. The United Way is moving away from funding organizations and agencies, to fund- ing “community builders” and is looking to solve “the needs of Ajax and Pickering” through one- time funding or ongoing sup- port. All funding requests go through three committees — the citizens’review, communi- ty investment and board of di- rectors. If a funding request is turned down, an agency can file an appeal, he added. Mr. McKay said donors are constantly polled on how the United Way functions. “At this point, we’re fol- lowing United Way Canada. They’re moving that way. It’s more policy driven,” he said. Bruce Boyle, head of the 2002 fund-raising campaign for the United Way, also ap- pealed for the Town to match its annual donation for next year at the $2.92 per house- hold rate it gave this year. That works out to about $70,000. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 4, 2002 PAGE 5 A/P MON. - THURS. 9 - 9 FRI. & SAT. 9 - 6 SALES HOURS Saturn Saab Isuzu of Pickering 980 KINGSTON RD., PICKERING 905-839-6159 www.saturnofpickering@saturncanada.com SATURN OF PICKERING KINGSTON RD.

This is now the second time in 12 months schools have been shut down and the citizens on high alert. We were ad- vised not to leave our homes. It is apparent the police service needs a complete review of its procedures and job competency. Is this good use of our tax levies?

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 4, 2002 Are you ready to go to the hospital yet? My first reaction was to say, “No, I’m OK,” just like I had the previous four or five times my wife, Beverly, had asked the same question. This time though, I looked at her and said, “Let’s get ready.” It was 8 p.m. Sunday, July 28, and, while I wasn’t in any pain, I couldn’t walk five feet without gasping for air like a fish out of water and having my heartbeat go through the roof. The last time I was in a hospital for something other than minor surgery was 46 years ago, but this time I had to admit some- thing might be seriously wrong when, after sitting in the waiting room for no more than two minutes, a nurse point- ed in my direction and asked me to follow her. Then the fun started. “Get undressed and put this gown on... we need to take your blood... here is some oxygen to help you breathe... we are going to do an EKG and take a lung X-ray.” Two hours later all the results were back in and, to quote the doctor, “I have good news and I have bad news.” My EKG and X-rays came back nor- mal, but the blood tests showed some- thing was not right. After saying goodbye to my wife, I was wheeled up to intensive care, hooked up to all sorts of monitoring devices and told to get a good night’s sleep. By the next morning I would have killed for a book and good cup of coffee. To make a long story short, that morning I saw a doctor who, after checking me over, told me he suspect- ed I had had a pulmonary embolism and sent me for all sorts of tests over the next two days. It turned out he was right and a blood clot in my left leg had travelled through my heart and ended up in my lung. So, after spending six days in hospital I was released and, although I will be on blood thinners for the next year or two, it could have ended a lot worse. What did I learn from this experi- ence? First, if something feels really wrong, get to a hospital fast. They are the experts so let them decide if there is a problem. If your car started to act up, you would have it into a mechanic in a heartbeat. Second, there is a special place in heaven for nurses. It’s hard and some- times very dirty work, but they do it with class and a smile on their faces. Finally, a special thank you to everyone at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Heck, even the food was great. LETTERS POLICY All letters should be typed or neatly hand-written, 150 words. Each letter must be signed with a first and last name or two initials and a last name.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com If it feels wrong a doctor can likely tell you why Don’t ignore the warning signals of pain, you may be surprised by the care you receive Six thousand phone calls. Six thousand questions answered. Six thousand important community connections made for local residents. Nobody disputes the impact the Social Development Coun- cil (SDC) of Ajax-Pickering has right here in our communi- ties, through its numerous programs, including the Informa- tion Ajax-Pickering service now in danger of being eliminat- ed due to a funding shortfall this year. Six thousand phone calls indicate it is a service used regu- larly by people in our communities, a service that has value. But it could be lost due to a reduction in local United Way funding, although blame can’t be cast in that corner. The Unit- ed Way funds a vast and growing number of services in our communities and must spend every dollar responsibly to reach as many groups as it can. The SDC does indeed provide an important service through its information Ajax-Pickering program. But the public threat to cut the program without actively and aggressively pursuing other funding sources and fund-raising strategies is prema- ture. It’s encouraging to see the group has appeared before Ajax and Pickering councils in a bid to get some one-time funding. That’s a workable idea. What of other private or corporate funding? Or, why not run a bake sale or a garage sale? There are plenty of local school community councils that can pro- vide expertise in that area. Local non-profit service and social organizations are busy working in every corner of the communities they serve. The need also grows, however, outpacing the available dollars, re- sulting in a need for innovation, creativity and perseverance. And let’s not forget the SDC already receives funding from other sources in the community, including municipal and re- gional governments, as well as the Province and from Ottawa. Is there any wiggle room on those fronts? The SDC would do well to quickly determine what’s available. In the meantime, we encourage the SDC and United Way to meet once more with a view to finding common ground while meeting common goals. Each group does important and valu- able work in the community. Each relies on the generosity of the larger community to meet its obligations. This uncommon conflict between the two can either be- come an unseemly political dispute, or an important example of how much can be achieved through compromise and a will- ingness to keep the important things in focus.

In a released statement, the chairman also pointed out some days the Region has as many as 25 courtrooms operating in seven loca- tions. “It’s inefficient and costly to the taxpayers of our Region,” he said. Just last month, Chief McAlpine, in a regular report to council, raised a concern about the inappropriate condi- tions for holding and transferring pris- oners. At that time, he said a new cour- thouse with more prisoner holding cell capacity is needed. The 30-foot by 12-foot locked com- pound is expected to cost no more than $20,000, the chief told council. When it is not being used for prisoner trans- port, the compound can remain open for public access to the building. The Region is going to forward the bill to the Province, which operates the facil- ity, for payment. However, the chief said, this is just one of many additional operating costs related to the lack of appropriate court facilities for Durham taxpayers. “Until the court facilities are put in place it will cost taxpayers each and every day,” he said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 4, 2002 PAGE 7 A/P My teacher taught me...

The 27-year-old man was recaptured last Friday eight hours after he bolted from un- armed security personnel dur- ing an appearance at Whitby court. Bound by handcuffs, leg irons and a waistbelt, he was led by a leash into the King Street West courtroom in Os- hawa Wednesday by almost a dozen heavily armed members of the Durham Regional Po- lice tactical support unit. Seven officers remained in the courtroom during the pro- ceedings. Mr. Jacobson, wearing an or- ange prison jumpsuit, stumbled as he entered the prisoner box and remained hunched over, barely visible. Alongside Mr. Jacobson sat co-ac- cused Sean Anthony Hall, 27. The con- tinuation of their preliminary hearing on charges including robbery, first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit mur- der had to be adjourned after Mr. Jacob- son, of Pickering, appeared to be suffer- ing from a medical condition. Wincing, Mr. Jacobson did not stand in the box until helped up by an officer and did not respond when addressed by Judge Ron Richards. Outside court, defence counsel Dou- glas Usher said he was having trouble communicating with his client and would not proceed until Mr. Jacobson received “proper medical attention so we can see what’s wrong.” Arrangements were made for a doctor to go to the cour- thouse to examine Mr. Jacob- son and the hearing was later adjourned to Tuesday. Saturday, the morning after he was recaptured, Mr. Jacob- son was transported to hospi- tal after suffering what ap- peared to be a “seizure,” a po- lice source said. He was cleared medically and re- turned to custody. Mr. Jacobson was scheduled to appear in the Whitby court on charges relating to a June 2000 Pick- ering home invasion when he escaped last Friday He and Mr. Hall are jointly charged with murdering Ajax resident Roy Jones, who was to testify against Mr. Jacobson in the home-invasion case. Mr. Jones, the head of security at Metro East Trade Centre, was shot to death outside his Twilley Lane home last February. COSMO JACOBSON DURHAM ––Ajax and Pickering residents should take extra caution in light of a recent wave of street swarm- ings and robberies, police warn. Durham Regional Police say street violence has been rising the past couple of months. On a recent weekend there were nine swarmings or muggings. Detective Sergeant Peter Naumienko, head of 19 Divi- sion’s criminal investigations branch, said most of the at- tacks have involved young people and the attackers have been armed with “some knives and the occasional gun.” No one has been seriously injured, with victims receiv- ing cuts and bruises, he said. Victims are usually surround- ed by a group of youths, as- saulted and robbed of cash, cellphones, clothes or other items. Det. Sgt. Naumienko said police have made several ar- rests in recent weeks, includ- ing boys aged 13 and 14. Police are urging residents to stay away from dark areas at night, travel with friends, walk in well-populated loca- tions and stay on established routes. Meanwhile, investigations are continuing and anyone with information that could assist police in solving the street robberies can call De- tective Steve Ross at 905- 579-1520, ext. 2593, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477.

BONUS GIFT WITH PURCHASE Masked duo rob gas station PICKERING ––Two masked men, one of them armed with a loaded sawed- off shotgun, pulled off a heist at a Claremont gas station Wednesday night. Durham Regional Police said a passenger in a grey car approached the kiosk at the OLCO, at 1716 Central St., about 6:10 p.m. The bandit demanded cash and pointed the weapon at the clerk, who complied. The robber re- turned to the car and drove southbound, police said. The driver and passenger wore balaclavas during the heist. Police were provided with the licence plate number of the car, believed to be a Pon- tiac Sunfire or Chev Cavalier. Fire officials here at home ready for Fire Prevention Week AJAX —While fire safety should be front and centre every day, fire de- partments across North America use a week each October to promote fur- ther awareness. Fire Prevention Week runs Oct. 6 to 12 this year and the theme is ‘team up for fire safety’. In addition to awareness, the week is used to promote ways the public can protect itself from the hazards of fire. “The 2002 theme allows our staff to concentrate on increasing the pub- lic’s awareness of the importance of teaching the public how to keep their homes safe from fire and encourages people to develop a home fire escape plan that includes working smoke alarms,” said Ajax Fire Chief Randy Wilson. Ajax Chief Fire Prevention Officer Thom Evered pointed out when a blaze breaks out in a home, firefight- ers respond quickly. But, they need the public’s help to keep communi- ties safe. “The more people know about pre- venting and surviving an unwanted fire, the better off we’ll all be,” he added. Keeping your home safe involves following common sense guidelines, such as never leaving cooking food or burning candles unattended. Other tips include keeping matches and lighters locked away and out of the reach of children, having your heat- ing system serviced once a year by a professional, having the chimney in- spected annually and cleaned if nec- essary, screening the fireplace to con- tain sparks, keeping counter-top ap- pliances, including the cords, in good repair, and ensuring the fuses or cir- cuit breakers match the loads of the electrical wiring. “The campaign focuses on safety issues that everyone can learn — in- stalling and testing smoke alarms, practising home escape plans, and hunting for home hazards,” said Mr. Evered. As always, each home should have at least one working smoke alarm on every level, including the basement and inside or near every sleeping area. Smoke alarms should be tested once a month, with batteries replaced regularly or whenever the battery power is low. Also, vacuum the alarm regularly and replace an alarm that’s more than 10 years old. Mr. Evered said everyone in the home should know the sound of the smoke alarms. All homeowners should have an escape plan and practice it regularly, he added. Family members should get to- gether and draw up a plan, showing two ways out of each room, including windows. Make sure each family member knows the escape routes and can open doors, windows and securi- ty bars. Agree on a place where everyone can meet outside once they’ve es- caped. The public is invited to the two Ajax Fire and Emergency Services stations during the week. The halls are open for organized tours Thurs- day, Oct. 10 and Friday, Oct. 11, from 6 to 9 p.m. each day. On Saturday, Oct. 12, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the public can watch firefighters in action as they perform auto extrications and perform haz- ardous material exercises. This is being done at the Monarch Avenue station, next to the Ajax Community Centre. The other station is on Westney Road, immediately north of Hwy. 2.

A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 4, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Durham politician wants proceeds for land purchases BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Money raised from the Great Blue Heron Casino could be used to preserve some of Durham’s most environmentally-sensi- tive lands, suggests Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt. The Mississaugas of Scu- gog Island First Nation oper- ates the Great Blue Heron. Under an agreement with the Ontario Casino Corporation, the band receives five per cent of gross revenues from the slot operations. Of that, it turns over 10 per cent to the Region. The Region’s take of the money, currently used to offset regional taxes, could be put to- ward land purchases, the mayor suggested at Wednes- day’s regional council meet- ing. “We (council) have done very little on acquiring envi- ronmentally-sensitive lands,” said Mayor Moffatt. Council has stated an inten- tion to do so in the past, he added. “I am hopeful all of us will look carefully down the road,” Mayor Moffatt said, noting preservation of Durham’s nat- ural habitat is important to fu- ture generations. From January to the end of July this year, the Region re- ceived $265,497 from the slot revenues. In total, since March 2000 when the agreement was made, it has received $872,035. Mayor Moffatt gave notice he will bring a motion forward for council’s consideration on the matter at a future date. He also said he hoped to talk more about it during this week’s council two-day retreat in Gravenhurst. Oshawa Mayor Nancy Dia- mond said when the matter comes before council for con- sideration, she would like in- formation on the original in- tent for the money which she believes was to offset policing, roads and works costs. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 4, 2002 PAGE 11 A/P Delivering for the Future What do you call someone who runs their own business, braves summer heat and the winter chill, is on the job in the rain, snow and sleet, is always cheerful and courteous and who brings the product right to your door every time without fail while also trying to conquer the intricacies of math, science and auditioning for the first-chair saxophone in the school band?

TRILOGY COMMUNICATIONS PRESENTS A TWO PART SEMINAR ON THE VERBALLY ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - Defining Verbal Abuse - Recognizing & Understanding It Tuesday, October 22, 2002 - Responding with Impact to Verbal Abuse Time: 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Location: Education Centre, Room 2007, Durham Board of Education, 400 Taunton Rd. E., Anderson & Taunton Rd., Whitby. Course Fee: Course 1 - $39.00, Course 2 - $39.00, Both Courses - $70.00 Although many people have heard “sticks and stones may break our bones but words will never hurt us”, those who have suffered from verbal abuse know that words do hurt and can be as damaging as physical blows to the body. The scars from verbal assaults can last for years. They are psychological scars that leave people unsure of themselves, unable to recognize their true value, their talents and sometimes unable to adapt to life’s many challenges. Many people don’t recognize verbal abuse - especially when it comes from a person they believe loves them. Many of us recognize name calling as verbal abuse, however this is just one of more than a dozen categories of verbal abuse. If you feel there is something wrong with your relationship - it seems like a constant battle ground, you may be waking up to verbal abuse. We invite you to attend this two part seminar to learn more about the verbally abusive relationship and ways in which to respond to it with impact. PLEASE REGISTER EARLY SEATING IS LIMITED.

The event is a partnership between the dairy store, Durham Regional Police Service and the Durham Chil- dren’s Aid Society. Purple ribbons help fight against child abuse, neglect DURHAM –– It’s purple and it’s important. Right up there within the rainbow of coloured ribbons that bring attention to crucial causes and issues is the purple one with gold lettering: ‘Help Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect.’ In partnership with Durham Re- gional Police and Reid’s Diary, the Durham Children’s Aid Society has launched a month-long campaign to help reduce the staggering number of suspected child abuse cases last year. Of 3,332 responses, more than 1,000 Durham children were taken into care. Introduced by the Durham CAS 10 years ago, the Purple Ribbon campaign has since been embraced by other Ontario children’s aid soci- eties. Ribbons are available at all Reid’s Dairy stores, Durham Police stations and participating business- es. The campaign raises funds from donations for the local CAS’s Chil- dren’s Fund which supports pro- grams of prevention, education and enrichment. Sales continue to motor along for GM Year-over-year September sales up by whopping 23.7 per cent DURHAM ––Septem- ber was a hot month for General Motors of Canada.

Car sales jumped 29 per cent to 24,713 while truck sales climbed 18.3 per cent to 22,036. “GM sales were on fire last month as we sold more vehicles than we have in any September ever,” said Marc Comeau, vice-presi- dent of sales, service and marketing. “At this rate, 2002 could be our strongest year in over a decade as we have already sold more ve- hicles this year than the 380,000 we did in all of 1996.” Entry level cars, such as the Cavalier and Sunfire, led the way, with sales up by 77 per cent. GM truck sales repre- sented an all-time record in September. GM car sales for the month represented GM’s best September since 1987. For the year to date, GM has sold 394,818 cars and trucks, an 11.6 per cent in- crease over the same period last year.

By Bob Grimson Winter is coming. It’s time to start those fall home improvement projects. But where to start? Is the deck on your home looking a little drea- ry? Well, that might be a good place to start. With a little time and effort that dreary deck can be looking like new again. Take some time and carefully examine your deck, checking for evidence of damage or wood rot. Damage can also occur in hard-to-see places, so be sure to check underneath the deck if at all possible. If there is evidence of rot, check to see how deep it extends into the wood. If it’s less than a half-inch deep, you may not have to replace the board. Deeper or more extensive damage calls for action. Get the pry bar out, remove the rotten board and replace it with a new one. Replace any loose nails with either decking nails or decking screws. After the repairs have been made, there is action you can take to prevent future damage. One way is to ensure your deck can dry out after it rains. A couple of ways to do this are to trim any overhanging tree branches or redirect any downspouts away from the deck. If the deck shows signs of discoloration, it may simply need a thorough cleaning. Many different kinds of commercial deck cleaning products are avail- able at most hardware and home improvement stores. For safety reasons, be sure to read the labels and fol- low the directions. Darker stains may be a sign of mildew. A simple cleaning with soap and water or bleach will take care of the problem. To keep this problem from happening again, make sure your deck can dry out. After your deck is cleaned, the wood should be sealed. To check and see if the deck needs sealed, sprinkle some water onto the wood. If the water beads up, the deck doesn’t need to be sealed. If the water soaks into the wood, the deck needs to be sealed. There are several different kinds of sealer available, so check with your hardware or home improvement store for the best product to use. It should keep out water and the sun’s ultraviolet rays. If you live in an area where wood-eating insects can be found, be sure your sealant has insecticide qualities, as well. As with the cleaning products, be sure to read the label and follow all directions and safety pre- cautions. Just a few simple little steps can ensure that your deck will be ready to endure the winter weather. Then when the first signs of spring come, all you have to do is step out, sit in the lounge chair and relax. • Snow Plowing • Salting • Snow Removal Commercial 905-427-6282 C&R SINCE 1978 PAVING INC.

Last week the News Ad- vertiser reported a group of University of Toronto re- searchers studying the health of the watersheds draining into Frenchman’s Bay found “unacceptable” and “possibly hazardous” levels of E. coli bacteria in the creek following a major storm. Both the City and re- searchers concluded more testing was needed to deter- mine the source of the cont- amination and if it was a persistent problem. The additional sampling was done at a time of re- duced creek flow and con- firmed the high results. “E. coli levels are 15 times PSWQG,” said Uni- versity of Toronto professor Nick Eyles. “This requires immediate action. We need to find out what the source is.” Additional testing also revealed high levels of E. coli in Pine Creek, another Pickering watercourse flow- ing into the bay. Mr. Eyles said the high bacteria levels at a time of low flow for the creeks sug- gest the contamination is coming from groundwater. “I suspect it’s from a leaky sewage pipe,” he said. “It’s quite normal in an urban atmosphere, it’s not at all unusual, but something needs to be done quickly.” He added the evidence clearly shows E. coli is a persistent presence in the creek and underlines the need for immediate action. Ward 2 Regional Coun- cillor Mark Holland agreed. “We take this situation very seriously and we know there is a strong need to take action on the quality and quantity of water in the wa- tersheds,” he said. “A plan to address stormwater management is- sues in the city is long over- due.” Coun. Holland said he would be eagerly awaiting the results of the University of Toronto study and plan for remediation, which Mr. Eyles said would be ready early next year. In addition, he said the City desperately needs to pour more resources into this area. “That’s what I’ll be push- ing for. I don’t think we’re spending enough. We have a serious need for additional funding for stormwater management,” he said. “With all the development, the City really has a poor storm water management system and we need help to clean this mess up.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 4, 2002 PAGE 25 A/P Come in for our Royal Flush Specials and Win!

Conservation program wants participants all wet PICKERING —Be- come an environmental watchdog this month. Toronto and Region Conservation (TRC) invites residents in its watershed to take part in a stream and waterfront watch program. Volunteers from the re- gion’s nine watersheds will be watching streams, creeks, rivers and lakes in their communities, record- ing conditions and reporting the results to the TRC. The Toronto region stretches from the borders of Mississauga and Etobi- coke, as far north as Cale- don, south to Lake Ontario and east to Ajax and Picker- ing. Water watchers note ob- servations of water colour, odour and visual features. This information, together with other scientific indica- tors, will ultimately help de- termine the health of the watercourses in the region and guide future cleanup ac- tivities. Participants are given simple instructions on how to perform the monitoring and how to fill out data sheets. Each participant can choose which site they will monitor. Survey sheets are avail- able electronically at www.trca.on.ca after Fri- day, Oct. 4 and in hard copy format.

My school bus driver is ‘terrific’ Safely guiding a bus of students more than a job for drivers DURHAM —A small city of about 29,000 is on the move every morning and afternoon in Durham Region. It encompasses local students riding school buses, public transit vehicles and vans equipped to transport those with special needs. For elementary students riding the familiar orange school bus, the person at the wheel is more than just a driver. He or she is a trained profes- sional, a potential caregiver if your child becomes ill, and, more often than not, a friend who greets your child with a smile every morning. Kathleen Pezzarello, transportation supervisor at the Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board, said it’s more than a job for drivers: they care about the stu- dents they transport. She recalled an incident in Oshawa where on an extremely cold morning, a bus wouldn’t start. The driver got into her own vehicle and hit every one of her stops to tell stu- dents to go back home and that she would soon pick them up. “We have a driver of a wheelchair ve- hicle who chauffeured one of her Grade 8 students to her graduation so the stu- dent could use her electric wheelchair,” said Ms. Pezzarello, noting the Ajax woman volunteered her time and the company offered free use of the vehicle. “Drivers are also known to decorate their buses for Halloween and Christmas. The only time you will see a clown driving a school bus will be when they are dressed for Halloween.” She said 13,902 Catholic board stu- dents ride one of 154 buses or vans to school every day, travelling 12,600 kilo- metres. That’s about the same distance as the crow flies from Durham to the south- ern tip of South America. At the Durham District School Board, transportation manager Lynda Smith said about 15,000 students travel from Durham across the Atlantic Ocean to China and back again every day, or roughly 35,000 kilometres. She said bus drivers are dedicated, noting it’s incredible the time they de- vote and the work they do with kids. “The effort that they make, it’s very gratifying,” said Ms. Smith. “They’re very good, these drivers; it’s not a part- time job.” She noted drivers as a matter of course go the extra mile, phoning kids they transport, for example, to remind them not to go out to the bus stop too early. “It’s a big responsibility and I don’t think we give them enough credit,” said Ms. Smith. “They work hard.” However, while safety is priority one for drivers and students, she said the general public could use a refresher course. Drivers often complain of inconsider- ate motorists who put students’ lives at risk when they pass a bus as students are getting on or off. “Motorists need to observe the lights when they’re on,” reminded Ms. Smith. My school bus driver is terrific because he’s smart, kind and knows how to drive. He doesn’t mind if we stand on the bus, move to another seat, and eat or drink when he’s not driving the bus. He doesn’t mind if we are late sometimes. He’s really nice, smiling and not mean. He does not let us shout and put our hands out of the window. Something I don’t like about the bus driver is that he waits for someone at one stop for five minutes. Essam Nadeem, 10 Grade 5 at Gandatsetiagon Public School. ‘A good attitude every day My school bus driver is terrific. The bus number in the morn- ing is 16 and in the afternoon it is 6. The driver lets us move seats when the bus is not driving. The bus driver waits for about five minutes when we are late and has a good attitude every day. We can’t yell whenever we like to. Our old bus driver was Mike. He gave us candies be- cause we behaved really well. Werdah Aiman, 8 Grade 3 at Gandatsetiagon Public School. ‘He’s really nice, smiling and not mean’ Pickering Gandatsetiagon Public School students Werdah Aiman (left) and Essam Nadeem (right) are cousins who share their love between their morning and afternoon bus drivers. They believe drivers Lisa Saunders and Doug Nicholls are simply the best. A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo A serious job, a moving experience...

Three years after retiring from the FBI because of a near-fatal encounter with Hannibal Lecter, who was helping him catch the ‘Chesapeake Ripper,’ only to reveal it was Hannibal him- self, Will Graham is asked by his ex-partner Jack Crawford to come solve one last case — two slaughtered families every full moon. They have three weeks until the next full moon to find the madman, but an innocent blind woman has found him first. Graham must risk his family’s securi- ty and his own safety to track down this one last murderer — the epitome of all evil — the Red Dragon. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 4, 2002 PAGE 31 P 905-426-6242 Located in Wal-Mart Ajax OPEN Mon. - Fri. 9 A.M. - 9 P.M.

It’s time to think of a special dessert that will be good enough to follow your family Thanksgiving dinner and bring that thunderous applause you so richly deserve for all your hard work. What about a frozen Dairy Queen cake? One of the most common questions asked at our store is “Who makes your cakes and where are they delivered from”. When I tell our customers that we have our own cake decorators and that we make our cakes from scratch right here in the store they always seem surprised. You will even be more surprised to know the process we use in our cake department. We have a number of staff who can either make or decorate cakes and we are training more all the time. On the Father’s Day Weekend our cake department sold over 400 cakes. About the process. We have a separate 3 spigot soft serve machine in our cake department used only for making cakes. You can see how our cakes are made on the TV monitor’s in the front of the store. First layers of our rich creamy chocolate soft serve are woven into a cake form. Then a layer of cookie crunch and fudge is added in the center. Next layers of rich creamy vanilla soft serve are spread over the top. The cake form is then removed and the finished “cake blank”, as we call it, is flash frozen in our hardening freezers. That means that your fresh creamy soft serve cake goes from the spigot to the flash freezer in a matter of minutes! Next our cake decorators go to work. First we have over 200 jell and computer generated designs for you to choose from when you come into the store. Our decorators take your design and put it into a projector and then your cake blank is placed under the projector and the design is finished in the colours you want. Then the cake borders are done in a special creamy whipped icing and your cake is finished. We also have premade edible images featuring some great designs in unbelievable colour. But the latest innovation is cake imaging or Snapshot cakes. Bring us your favourite picture and we will scan it into our computer, add copy to it and run it off on edible rice paper and place it on the cake. The results are spectacular! Or you can choose from the 80 to 100 cakes that we have on display at all times and have the cake personalized while you wait. Don’t forget our layered cakes. Half soft serve and half bakery cake.

It Takes a Village Family Resource Centre (ITAV) holds umoja African dance and drum classes for children and adults. Umoja means unity in Swahili and it’s an apt name to describe the classes. Par- ticipants learn to play various African percussion instru- ments, such as the Djembe drum and the cowbells. The dance classes teach African and Caribbean folk dances. The 10-week courses run Wednesdays from Oct. 16 to Dec. 18, at the Ajax- Pickering YMCA, 230 West- ney Rd. S., in Ajax. For more information, contact Yaa Shange at 905- 427-7511 or info@itav.org. Dance, drum to African beat BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor PICKERING —Sometimes, life does imitate art. For a local actor, that notion hit close to home. One of veteran actor Gino Marroc- co’s latest roles is as a guest star in the PAX network series ‘DOC’, starring country and western singer-turned-actor Billy Ray Cyrus, who plays a country doctor relocated to New York City. Mar- rocco plays ‘Mike’ in the episode ‘Stroke of Luck’, which — although he didn’t know it at the time of shooting — closely mirrors a traumatic occurrence in his own life. Earlier this summer, Marrocco was dealt a personal blow with the sad news of the death of his brother, Silvano Mar- rocco, in Cambridge. One day after at- tending his brother’s funeral, the Picker- ing actor was on the set of ‘DOC’to ful- fil his contractual obligations that, be- cause of the shooting schedule, couldn’t be altered. What would transpire is something he’ll always cherish, as his character held an unmistakable likeness to his brother. He dedicated his performance to Silvano. “There is no doubt in my mind that I incorporated a lot of my brother into the character I was playing,” noted Marroc- co. “I was planning to do that before my brother passed away. I wanted to thank him and say, ‘I’m going to play you in this show’.” ‘Mike’ is a gardener who owns a nursery and takes particular satisfaction in his ability to grow a fig tree that was brought over from the old country. Oddly enough, Marrocco’s brother was also an avid gardener and a grower of fig trees, having a number of the fruit-bear- ers. “I don’t ever remember doing an episode where there’s a reference to a fig tree. My brother, who retired five years ago, has six or more fig trees; they were his passion,” he said. Mike also suffers a stroke during the episode, which hospitalizes him, but he is able to recover and, after an emotion- al scene, resumes his nursery business. Sadly, his brother died of a heart attack. Marrocco was also heartened by the sensitivity from the producer and other actors to his loss while filming. He was especially impressed with Cyrus. “My whole time on the set, he was incredibly sensitive to what I had just experienced. I didn’t know him before I met him, only that I know he had a country and western hit (‘Achy Breaky Heart’). We became close friends. He was very supportive and he was a very positive reminder for me,” he said. During his time shooting ‘DOC’, he was also working on the feature film ‘Crime Spree’, starring Harvey Keitel and French actor Gerard Depardieu. It was a somewhat shocking 180-degree turn in acting for Marrocco, who went from playing a mild-mannered gardener to a hardened criminal. As for his episode of ‘DOC’, it airs on PAX Wednesday, Oct. 9 at either 8 or 9 p.m. P PAGE 32 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 4, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Join Stu Jeffries and Company.

The action begins on a moonlit night when a van of singing Veggies encounters some unexpected trouble. After a heated battle with a clothesline, a pair of boxer shorts and, yes, porcupines, Bob and the Veggie kids find themselves at an old, run- down seafood joint where nothing is quite as it seems. Here they encounter ‘The Pirates Who Don’t Do Any- thing,’ the laziest bunch of scalawags and biggest root beer consumers to never sail the Seven Seas. As Bob and the kids settle in to wait for a tow truck to help get their van back on the road, the cu- rious Pirates share a little story about a guy named Jonah. As the story begins, we are transported to another time and place, where soci- ety moves a bit slower than today’s times. Now Jonah is kind of like a mailman — except his messages came straight from God! Jonah loves his job, until the day comes when he has to deliver a message to the people of Nineveh. You see, Jonah hates the Ninevites. They lie. They steal. But worst of all, they slap people with fishes. Instead of carrying out his mission, Jonah turns and sets sail in the opposite direction onboard a pirate ship. From the hold of this vessel, where he meets Khalil, a chatty car- pet salesman who just hap- pens to be a caterpillar, to the belly of a whale where he meets — whoops! We can’t tell you who he meets there — to the heart of Nineveh for a hilarious showdown, Jonah goes on an adventure none of them (including the whale) will soon forget.

The Axemen posted another goose egg against the Legionaires with a 3-0 loss to the first-place club in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ South Conference ac- tion at the Oshawa Civic Auditori- um. It was Ajax’s second shutout loss in as many meetings with Os- hawa. In the first game, Sept. 14, the Axemen were blanked 5-0. After a scoreless first period, it was downhill for the Axemen (1- 5-1-0 for three points, tied for last place in the conference), who were missing four key players — Chad Glode, Adam Weinberg, Steve Brouwer and Jason Wyles — either to injury of suspension. The Legionaires scored two goals in the second and added an insur- ance goal in the third to improve their record to 6-1-0-0. The Axemen were victimized by another strong performance by Oshawa netminder Cory Snodden, who recorded his second shutout against Ajax. Axemen coach Larry Labelle noted it was tough to play a top- flight team like the Legionaires while missing four regulars. He was, however, disappointed with his team’s anemic play in the final 40 minutes. “The last two periods we just looked terrible. Everything just fell apart,” he noted. Inconsistent offence again reared its ugly head against Os- hawa, with numerous good chances going by the wayside. La- belle was hoping Sunday’s six- goal effort against the Huntsville Wildcats would be a breakout for his charges. “The shots were pretty even, al- though the score was not. It’s a lit- tle bit frustrating when we do get shots we just can’t score,” he said. Most frustrating for Labelle is the large amounts of practice time devoted to getting shots on the net and then crashing the net, looking for loose pucks. He noted his charges did very little to alter shots and hamper Snodden’s abili- ty to see the puck. “We have to make it as difficult as we can for their goalie,” he said. The Axemen return to action tonight (Friday) when they travel to Pickering to play the Boyer Pontiac Panthers at the recreation complex at 7:30 p.m. It’s the sec- ond of six regular-season games between the neighbouring rivals. The first meeting, in Ajax Sept. 22, resulted in a 3-3 draw. On Saturday afternoon, the Ax- emen host a junior squad from Hocksett, New Hampshire at the Ajax Community Centre at 3 p.m. Ajax returns to league action Sun- day when it hosts the North Con- ference’s first-place Aurora Tigers at the community centre at 3 p.m. RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Oshawa Legionaires’Bill Deir (9) is levelled by Ajax Axemen’s Andrew Fagan as Steve Mayor (28) moves into the play during OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action in Oshawa Tuesday.

Guerrieri finishes third overall to end rookie racing campaign Fifth place in season finale caps Pickering man’s year PICKERING — It’s been a racing season to remember for Chris Guerrieri. The 18-year-old Pickering man completed his debut campaign in the Canadian Formula Ford Championship with a third-place overall finish after the eighth and final series race at Circuit Mont-Tremblant, Que. last weekend. More importantly, Guerrieri finished the year tied for first with Ashley Taws in the rookie points race. Without any experience on the gruelling racetrack, Christopher qualified his #11 NGCL Cherry Beach Sound LM La Scuderia Vector on the front row, alongside pole sitter Louis- Philippe Dumoulin, the series points champion. Guerrieri had a good start and followed Du- moulin during the opening lap. “I felt really good. Louis-Philippe and I were running the same pace and I hoped that we would break away from the rest of the field,” Guerrieri explained. But, on Lap 2, disaster struck at 130 m.p.h. at the end of the long back straight. Guerrieri was running inches behind Dumoulin when a component of Dumoulin’s rear suspension shat- tered unexpectedly. “A cross member broke and ripped the sus- pension apart. I braked very hard to avoid hit- ting L.P. (Dumoulin). Eventually I managed to clear the chaos and stay in the lead,” Guerrieri said. One lap later, the grey Vector spun in Corner 2. “The car was handling great and I took the exact same line in Corners 1 and 2 as I did all weekend long,” Guerrieri said. “Then, on top of two the car just went off. I think that something had to be on the race track because it was slip- pery and I saw other cars going sideways there.” The nose cone of the Vector was knocked off in a contact with the guardrail and Guerrieri re- joined the race in second place. “The aerody- namics were all wrong and I had to take the tow from race leader Chris Green to be able to fol- low him along the straightaways.” On lap 10, Guerrieri fell to sixth place after a push from Marc-Antoine Camirand. “There’s just one line in that corner and I was left without enough clean road. I put all four tires in the marbles and I slid very wide al- most out of control, allowing several cars to pass me.” Guerrieri eventually moved ahead of his teammate Frederick Lelievre to cross the line in fifth place, scoring 11 championship points. Despite all the incidents and the loss of the nose cone, Christopher set the second fastest time in the race. For more information, log on to his Web site at www.chrisguerrieri.com.

They’re riding rails, barrelling over jumps, flipping out and grabbing as much air as possi- ble at skateboard parks in the two communities. “We knew skating was popular, but we didn’t know it would be this high (usage). It’s been overwhelming,” said Tracy McMurray, youth services co-ordinator with the Town of Ajax, which just opened its first skate park at the McLean Community Centre. The first skater hit the facility Sept. 4 and since then Ms. McMurray said the numbers average 60 to 70, although by 6 p.m. there’s usually 80 to 150 users and the peak was 200. “It’s already proven it’s well worth it,” said Ms. McMurray. “Kids are not on the streets anymore, not at storefronts, they’re skating where it is safe.” A short trip west along Kingston Road and it’s more of the same with Pickering teens who have been gathering at the skate park by the Pickering Recreation Complex for about four years. “It’s just continued to be popular,” said Steve Reynolds, division head of culture and recre- ation at the City of Pickering. “When it first opened it was really well utilized and it contin- ues to be well utilized.” Once school lets out and on the weekend it’s normal to find 50 to 100 kids using the facility. Mr. Reynolds pointed out there was a series of three competitions at the facility this summer as well. “The kids certainly indicated there was a need for a facility and they’ve proven it,” he added.

Step 710 Painting and Decorating 710 Painting and Decorating Pickering boy wins two titles with straight-set victories PICKERING —A city tennis teen posted a major tournament victo- ry to close out the summer season. Mike Sarangi, 13, won the Ontario Tennis Association’s under-14 Mas- ters 4 Star Tournament. The event was an invitation-only draw for the top 24 players in the province. To add even more lustre to his summer, Sarangi also won the under- 16 GTA 3 Star Fall Classic as well. In the final of the under-14 event, Sarangi faced number-one ranked Galin Nizortchev of Ottawa. Sarangi was not fazed by the powerful service combinations for which Nizortchev is known, walloping his opponent 6-2, 6-1. In the semifinals, Sarangi defeated Brandon McDonald of Toronto 6-3, 6-2. In the quarters, the victim was sixth-seeded Robbie McCallum by scores of 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Sarangi began the tournament with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over Michael Lay. Next, he outrallied fourth-seeded Aaron Chan of Richmond Hill 7-5, 3- 6, 6-3. At the under-16 tournament, Sarangi defeated South America’s Jose Frakias for the championship, 6- 4, 7-6 (7-4 in the tiebreaker). In the semifinals, Sarangi defeated top-seeded Michael Tse 6-3, 6-3. In the quarter-finals, he dispatched Paul Piotrowski 7-5, 7-5. Sarangi started out with a bye and then defeated Dawson Peare 7-5, 6-0 in the second round. In the third round, he defeated fourth-seeded Ge- offrey Lay 6-4, 7-5. Sarangi is preparing for interna- tional competition later this season. He trains at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex with coaches Dave Ochotta, Allan Care and Greg Tran- quada. Sarangi Masters tennis events AJAX —The Ajax- Pickering Royals charged back from a 9-0 deficit for a 17-10 win over the Canucks to win the Ajax Men’s Slo-Pitch League ‘A’ division playoff cham- pionship Monday.

Find out deadlines, writing and photo requirements, delivery requirements ie: email, who to contact when the editor is not available. TOOLS: Keep a program of your important events so you can plan well ahead. Keep copies of your original press releases and compare them to what is put in print in case you need to adjust your style. Keep a scrap- book of the published works and photos so you can avoid monotony of coverage, but also plan for future projects. IS IT NEWS?: Ask yourself if the story will be worthy to share with others in the community. Contact the editor and let him/her judge the worthiness of the story. SENDING A P R E S S R E L E A S E A press release should: * Contain five main points: WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY * Be brief and to the point. Almost any news release can be written within one double- spaced, type-written page. * Always give exact dates (“Oct. 10” instead of “tomorrow”) and double-check dates be- fore including them. * Be exact. Give street numbers in addresses; people new to town or visiting may not know the building or area of town. * If you are requesting a story run announc- ing an upcoming event, plan well in advance to have the information to the paper at least 10 days in advance of the event. * Include your name and telephone number on the release should we require further infor- mation. * Don’t be afraid to suggest something new. We welcome original ideas when they’re prac- tical and organized. PHOTO REQUESTS The two most important factors that deter- mine whether we will attend your special event are: 1. Newsworthiness of the event A photo opportunity is newsworthy if it will be of interest to an audience beyond your group. 2. Schedules As you can imagine, our photographers are in high demand. The sooner you let us know about your event, the better the chance we will have room in our schedule to attend. Make Your Request A Success * Call early (two weeks in advance is best) * Be prepared with details that help us deter- mine whether the photo opportunity is news- worthy. * We need to know the Who, What, When, Where and Why of the event. * If we are sending a photographer, be ready when he or she arrives. Follow the photogra- pher’s instructions on composition and make sure you provide the proper information on names and titles. Provide a telephone number in the event we are delayed (breaking news may force us to miss a scheduled photo shoot). Can we submit our own photo? Absolutely! If we can’t make it you’re wel- come to take a photo and send it to us. If you plan to do this keep these pointers in mind: * We accept colour or black & white photos, or you can email digital images to us. We do not accept photocopies. * Editors prefer ACTION photos. If you have eight people don’t line them up eight across, mix and match sitting and standing to maxi- mize interest. * Be sure to include a concise caption that covers all of the 5 Ws. * Include your name and telephone number should we have questions. * Due to space constraints, we can not guar- antee the photo will appear in the newspaper. ‘Bringing your message to our market’ World famous Snowbirds visit Whitby’s Capt.

OMEGA realty inc.$224,900 PICKERING —Hollywood could- n’t have written a better ending to the season for the Pickering Power girls’ under-14 rep soccer team and its coach, Karen Michalicka. In Michalicka’s final game as coach, Power captured the Central Girls Soccer League Premiere Division Cup last Sun- day, edging the Etobicoke Elite 3-2, at Thornhill’s St. Robert High School. It was an emotional finish for the team, with many of the players having played under Michalicka since she coached at the under-10 level. “We were always so close,” Michal- icka said. “It feels great to finally win it.” The game was an evenly played, back-and-forth battle from the start. Eto- bicoke led 1-0 midway through the first half before Pickering responded with the equalizer. Late in the first half, Jodie Hannen made a crafty move to elude her defender just beyond the centre line and sent a pass to Jennifer Michalicka, who tied the game on a breakaway. In the second half, Cristin Allen sent a wide pass to the left side of the net, where an open Michalicka converted. Etobicoke struck for the tying goal on a free kick with eight minutes left, set- ting up a tense finish. With five minutes left, Pickering was awarded a corner kick. Michalicka sent the ball into the corner of the 18-yard box, where Sarah Nelson headed it into the open net for a 3-2 win and the league title. “They themselves wanted it bad enough,” Michalicka said of her players. “They just kept working and working.” Other team members are Stephanie Boudreau, Landis Doyle, Paige Heath- cote, Savannah Heathcote, Stephanie Michalicka, Leanne Muszynski, Katie Turvill and Stephanie Taylor. Assisting Michalicka were Nick Turvill and Gail Boudreau. The manager is Judy Lang- ford. Soccer crown five years in the making Members of the Pickering Power girls’ under-14 rep soccer team celebrate with trophies after capturing their league Cup over Etobicoke recently.
