Brenner calls for charges to be laid BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — It’s still unknown what triggered a hydro trans- former to explode Wednesday morning, causing 8,000 gallons of mineral oil to seep into Pine Creek. City officials, who visited the Cherrywood Transformer Sta- tion Thursday to survey the damage, said they noticed a containment berm around the ruptured transformer was miss- ing a section along its top edge. “It’s like the edge of a swim- ming pool,” explained Mayor Wayne Arthurs. “One side was missing what looked like a 10- inch curb around it.” When the transformer rup- tured, the oil filled the contain- ment basin but ran through the opening and into a nearby storm sewer, he said. When asked about the miss- ing edge, Hydro officials told him and others on the tour, the curb had been removed to move equipment in and out around the transformer, but hadn’t been replaced, he said. Hydro One spokesman Anne Creighton confirmed the con- crete lip wasn’t in place around the berm when the rupture oc- curred. But she pointed out the containment basin around the transformer is actually quite deep and able to handle most spills. “Normally, we wouldn’t expe- SAVE TODAY AT Carroll Home Improvements 905-686-2445 Roofing Windows Doors STOPSTOP DON’T THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY New activations only.

Coun. Ryan actually chaired Mayor Arthurs’ provincial campaign. In his victory speech, the MPP elect credited the councillor with laying the groundwork for his win by running for the Liberal party against Janet Ecker in 1999. While confident Mayor Arthurs would unseat the Minister of Finance, Coun. Ryan said he also recognized how difficult it is to predict the outcome of any election. “I entered the race for mayor knowing there would be some risk,” he added. With the provincial election now wrapped up, Coun. Ryan said his campaign for mayor officially began at 6 a.m. the next morning. “Many of the people who worked on Wayne’s campaign have graciously offered to work for me,” he said. “We’re actually using the same cam- paign office.” Mr. Dickerson was also out bright and early Friday, knocking on doors. While the race has narrowed with Mayor Arthurs’ win, Mr. Dick- erson said he’s more confi- dent than ever of his chances. “I’m getting more requests for lawn signs. Support is strong,” he said. “Nothing has changed in my campaign.” His focus in the upcoming election will be getting an- swers for the rise in taxes over the last three years in Picker- ing. Mr. Dickerson said as far as he is concerned, Coun. Ryan, is “just as guilty as Mayor Arthurs” for letting that happen. High school kids stay clear of Conservatives BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — High school stu- dents splashed red across Ontario Thursday, favouring 93 Liberals in an almost par- allel provincial election. Almost 290,000 students, in- cluding over 11,000 in Durham, were part of Kids Voting Canada, a program that encouraged students to learn about the issues, the candidates and cast ballots at school on election day. Province-wide, the New De- mocratic Party won nine and the Green Party one seat, while the governing Tories were shut out. “It shocks me that ab- solutely none of the ridings elected a PC candidate,” said Austin Joynes. He didn’t have to wait until Thursday night to find out who would lead the province - Mr. Joynes is premier of the Ontario Secondary School Students’ Association. A Grade 11 student at Pickering High School (PHS), he was also the deputy-returning offi- cer at his school on vote day. Reflecting for a moment, he says maybe it wasn’t such a surprise that the Tories lost so big in the school election. A lot of the party’s policies are tailored to big business and the wealthy, he says, and in that sense, it’s not a party that’s relevant to students. “The Progressive Conserva- tives come off as a very busi- ness, stuck up party,” said Mr. Joynes, adding students think of them as “dry.” He said the Tories were also hurt because they didn’t get their message out to stu- dents- not only during the campaign, but also in recent years. “A lot of the (education) ministry initiatives were good for students and beneficial, but they weren’t explained,” he said. Mr. Joynes said while PHS boasts great teachers, stu- dents blame the government for overcrowding and often messy conditions, noting for two years students have been involved in a clean up the school committee. At PHS, the vote was Liber- als 262, Green Party 118, Pro- gressive Conservatives 85 and New Democrats 66. It should be noted that Adam Duncan, the Green candidate in the actual election, is a graduate of PHS. He not only attended an all-candidates meeting at the school, but has spoken to individual classes as well. “It made for more interest in the Green Party, definitely,” said Mr. Joynes. “Everyone was really pro-Green at our school.” He said the party’s idealism appeals to students. At G.L. Roberts Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Oshawa, NDP candidate Sid Ryan was the choice of 60 per cent of students who voted for the six candidates. Civics teacher Elizabeth Newton said the vote break- down was: Sid Ryan (NDP), 289; Chris Topple (Liberal), 86; Jerry Ouellette (Progres- sive Conservative), 45; Paul Mc Keever (Freedom) 41; Karen Tweedle (Green) 15 and Dale Chilvers, Family Coalition, four. Ms. Newton noted that south Oshawa is typically a strong union area. “Sid Ryan is pretty popular here anyway, plus he did a lot of one-on-ones with the stu- dents,” she said. She was referring to an all- candidates meeting at the school, attended by misters Ryan, Ouellette, Topple and www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 5, 2003 PAGE 3 P • FREE 2nd Opinion Consultation • Chemiclave Sterilization • Mercury Free White Fillings EMERGENCY PAGER 905-831-6666 1735 PICKERING PKWY AT BROCK RD1735 PICKERING PKWY AT BROCK RD 905-686-2309905-686-2309 CANADIAN TIRE AUTO SERVICECANADIAN TIRE AUTO SERVICE Mon - Sat 7:30 am - 6 pm Sun 9 am - 6 pm ** Limited Time Offer purchase 1 BF Goodrich Precept touring tire & receive the 2nd at PRICE 1⁄2 GIANT TIRE SALEGIANT TIRE SALE 13 inch $39 14 inch $49 15 inch $59 13 inch $44 14 inch $54 15 inch $64 16 inch $74 13 inch $49 14 inch $59 15 inch $69 16 inch $79 AW+SE LXR ALIGNMENTALIGNMENT 11 ⁄⁄22 PRICE PRICE with 2 tire purchase LUBE, OIL & FILTERLUBE, OIL & FILTER 24249999 39399999 49499999 Conventional Oil Syntec Blend SemiSynthetic Oil Syntec Synthetic Oil $2.50 Enviro Charge Applies $2.50 Enviro Charge Applies $2.50 Enviro Charge Applies Shuttle not available HELD OVERHELD OVER “Home Harvesting Tyme!” www.theheartofcountry.com SEE YOU AT THE 13TH ANNUAL!

Tw o left in Pickering mayor’s race ✦ Tw o from page 1 News Advertiser ..Read by more people in your community than any other newspaper Metroland Durham Region Media Group ‘It was devastating to our agency’ BByy DDaanniieellllee MMiilllleeyy Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — The AIDS Committee of Durham’s major fund-raising event stumbled badly this year. The committee’s annual charity walk, held Sept. 21 in Oshawa, raised just under $3,000 for the com- munity group - nearly $10,000 less than it has in previous years. “It was devastating to our agency,” said Peter Richtig, the executive di- rector. Only 20 walkers came out for the afternoon event, compared to the 60 who normally participate. But this situation is not unique to Durham. “This is consistent across the country,” Mr. Richtig said. “Nationally there were 50 per cent fewer walkers.” Mr. Richtig believes the shift in focus to helping people with AIDS in other countries, such as Africa, as well as the competition from other walks has con- tributed to the decrease in participation. “When everybody has to do community fund-rais- ing, it gets competitive,” Mr. Richtig said. Other offices in rural areas have had problems in the past with a de- crease in money raised and participants, but Mr. Richtig said the amount raised in Durham has stayed constant in the previous eight years of the walk. The money raised through the event stays in the community and goes towards services including emergency financial assis- tance and the community kitchen. The agency serves 100 people. Mr. Richtig said there are between 500 and 600 people in the region who are infected. “Unless we can come up with funds in other ways, we’re going to have to cut direct services,” said Mr. Richtig. The Province provides $84,000 in funding for op- erations, including 1.5 staff members. The addi- tional cost for having two staff members is covered by fund-raising. “You can’t sustain an organization just on community fund- raising,” he said. “We need government funding.” He added the agency could close if it doesn’t get more money. Another possibility, he said, is amalgamating with another service orga- nization, but this could take the office out of the region and decrease the level of service it is able to provide. A growing misunder- standing surrounding HIV and AIDS in Canada might also explain why participation is on the de- cline. In a release issued by the Canadian AIDS Soci- ety, a number of youth in Canada believe there is a cure for HIV/AIDS and there is a vaccine available to prevent HIV infection. “People think it is not a crisis anymore. I talked to students and they tell me it doesn’t matter if they get infected because they can just take a pill,” Mr. Richtig said. “Kids think it’s not an issue anymore. Many people think it is a manageable disease.” He does appreciate all the volunteers and the people who did partici- pate in the walk. “I want to thank them because we obviously have a strong core of volunteers who are committed to supporting our agency,” he said. “However, we des- perately need more volun- teers.” A/P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 5, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Office & Yard 25 Langstaff Rd.

But clean up and containment continues to be Hydro One’s number one priority, she added. Hydro One brought an all spill recovery barge to Frenchman’s Bay Friday, which sits at the ready should it be discovered the oil has made it that far. “It’s just a contingency,” said Ms. Creighton “We have a 150-foot berm placed in an arc just north of Frenchman’s Bay and it’s doing a super job.” City officials said some oil has been spotted on the bay, but there is no evidence yet to link it to the spill. Located close to the 401 transportation corridor, French- man’s Bay is prone to run-off from the highway, said Joe Hunwicks, Pickering’s community emergency management co-ordinator. The clean-up is expected to take several weeks with significant costs attached. Pickering will push to recover those costs from Hydro One, said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, who pinned the damage at $1 million. The damage extended along five kilometres of Pine Creek, which over the years the City has worked hard to naturalize, he said. The creek will have to be dredged to remove oil from the soils and many of the vegetation planted destroyed. “Hydro One should face charges for this,” he said. No charges have been laid yet, said the Ministry of En- vironment, but an investiga- tion into the spill continues. Hydro One has been asked to monitor nearby ground water and the effects the oil could have on three private wells in the area, said min- istry spokesman John Steele. While his department was- n’t aware of any dead ani- mals reported near Pine Creek, the Toronto Wildlife Centre said it has rescued two oil-covered muskrats. A third has died, along with a mouse found near the creek. “We’re assessing the situa- tion and looking for ani- mals,” said director Nathalie Karvonen, who dispatched her staff and volunteers to the site after hearing about the spill through news re- ports. Should residents come across an animal in distress, Ms. Karvonen advises if it’s safe to do so, confine the critter with a blue box and keep it warm. Call the centre at 416-631- 0662 right away and don’t try to remove the oil from the animal yourself. Volunteers rescue wildlife ✦ Volunteers from page 1 Vo t ers stay aw ay from the polls Turnout sliding toward 50 per cent W hile most of Ontario jumped to the Liberals Thurs- day night, Durham Region voters expressed loyalty to the Progressive Conservatives by sending four Tories back to Queen's Park out of five ridings. Wayne Arthurs will be the only government MPP and the Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge representative will have big shoes to f ill. Under former Finance Minister Janet Ecker, who Mr. Arthurs defeated by 1,011 votes, Durham was highly respect- ed and heard at the cabinet table. Mr. Arthurs, along with opposition Tory MPPs Jim Fla- herty (Whitby-Ajax), Jerry Ouellette (Oshawa), John O'- Toole (Durham) and Laurie Scott (Haliburton-Victoria- Brock) will have to push hard to make sure premier-elect Dalton McGuinty and his cabinet keep up the projects start- ed over the last few years in Durham. The University of Ontario Institute of Technology, the Durham Region Cancer Centre and Lakeridge Health emer- gency development, Hwy. 407 extension, Hwy. 401 and tran- sit improvements: all merit close attention by the new Lib- eral government. Voting in Durham ridings reflected the provincewide trend toward a lighter turnout. That's a depressing down- ward spiral, which has been ongoing over half-a-dozen elec- tions now and shows no signs of changing. In Oshawa riding, despite a strong challenge from NDP star candidate Sid Ryan and a Liberal wave, barely 50 per cent of eligible voters bothered to cast a ballot. In Durham riding, the results were slightly better as 58 per cent went to the polls. In Whitby-Ajax and Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge where powerful Tory cabinet members faced challenges from high-profile municipal representatives carrying the Liberal standard, just under 60 per cent of the voters went to the polls. Across Ontario, with results still unofficial, only about 55 per cent of the voters marked an X. Whether it's bringing in a form of proportional representation to make every single vote count, or a move to educate students in high school be- fore they vote, or forcing people to vote by fining them if they don't, we must involve more voters. If we don't, democ- racy and our freedom will lose. Private nuclear inspection should sound alarms TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: Simmer down and check facts editorial Oct. 19: Frankly you don't get it on the issue of the Tories' secret privatization of nuclear inspection services. Bringing an impor- tant issue to the public's attention is hardly scaremongering. There was much hand-wringing after the Walkerton water tragedy and the Aylmer meat inspection scandal. But Ernie Eves and his cohorts don't seem to have learned a thing from those incidents. Surely the matter of nu- clear inspection is an important issue worthy of public disclosure and debate, especially when it came in the midst of an election? The Tories obviously had no intention of letting the hapless citizens know about this. I for one am glad that Wayne Arthurs and the Liberals brought this matter to the court of public opinion. I have absolutely no doubt that the in- spectors themselves are highly qualified and responsible professionals. But it is management that makes the rules, and the first priority of management in the private sector is profit. Here is the analo- gy to consider: for Babcock & Wilcox to own our nuclear inspection services is the equivalent of Aylmer inspecting its own butchering operations and assuring consumers that everything is swell. No thanks. I want inspections from an arms- length organization that is accountable to the people of Ontario, not some bot- tom line.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 5, 2003 www.durhamregion.com If anyone believes world 100- metre hurdles champion Perdi- ta Felicien is at her zenith of her track career right now, her former coach is quick to dispel that notion. Curtis Sahadath says the 23 year old is still in the starting blocks where her career is concerned. As an attendee of Saturday's soiree to honour the conquering hero, Sahadath soaked it all in, basking in the pride of having dis- covered her vast athletic talent as a Grade 8 student at Glengrove Pub- lic School. He turned her from a sprinter into a hurdler and then nurtured her through several years of training leading up to her athlet- ic scholarship to the University of Illinois. "It was terrific; very well done," says Sahadath of the celebration. "It's good for her. She has earned it and she has taken it all in stride." Sahadath -- whose son, Cameron, is an up-and-coming hurdles star in Canada - is a firm believer Felicien has yet to fully re- alize her potential. And, he's not shy about expressing it. As a guest speaker on Saturday, he noted she's capable of winning three Olympic titles and could be the first woman to run the 100m hur- dles under 12 seconds. But, he's comfortable in making such bold proclamations. As a long-time coach of the Durham X- Ls track and field club, Sahadath's eager to explain his theories as to why Felicien has yet to really take flight. "If they can't beat her now, they're not going to beat her in the future. This is as vulnerable as she'll ever be." His theory is based on the differ- ence between what she's running in the 100 metres (11.74 seconds) and the 100m hurdles (12.53). That translates into an eight-tenths-of- a-second difference. If she takes her 100 metres time of 11.74 and turns it into 11.20 sec- onds, she is going to improve the front end of her hurdles races sig- nificantly. She's already the fastest on the planet in the latter part of her races. A faster front end, ex- plains Sahadath, will make her vir- tually invincible in the future. "Right now, from the start to the fourth hurdle, everyone is there with her. When she gets her 100 me- tres times down and her muscle density gets higher, she'll be a more dynamic presence on the ground... They can't run with her in the back end of a race right now; no one can."

In many cases the officers are replacing those who have recently retired or been transferred to other posts,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. The following are some of the changes: • Inspector Dave Kimmerly takes over the Oshawa Community Police Office (17 Division) from Inspector Bob Chapman, who was promoted to rank of superintendent and tasked with overseeing the regional opera- tions branch. • Inspector Tom Cameron moves over to employee services and hands over the reins of the Clarington Com- munity Police Office (16 Division) to Inspector Bill Temple. • Inspector Paul Carroll leaves major crime to take command of the Whitby Community Police Office (18 Division), meanwhile former Whitby Inspector Mike Ewles will head up the intelligence unit. • Inspector Dave Wilson takes charge of major crime and Inspector John Morrison leads regional sup- port services, including tactical and air support. • Detective Rolf Kluem, promoted to rank of detective sergeant, is the new boss of the homicide unit, taking over from Detective Sergeant Steve Illing. • Detective Sergeant Peter Nau- mienko, of the Ajax-Pickering crimi- nal investigations branch (CIB), will head the force’s robbery unit and De- tective Sergeant Kevin Morash, of Whitby CIB, takes over the sexual as- sault squad. • Staff Sergeant Chris Ostler, who worked on the Green Ribbon Task Fo r ce in Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffey murders in the 1990s, has been promoted to rank of inspector.

That’s the message the Canadian Red Cross’s vio- lence and abuse prevention program, RespectED, wants to convey. Witnesses are urged to speak up when confronted with child abuse. ‘Do something,’ is the message of this year’s Child Abuse Awareness Month campaign. Throughout October, Re- spectED wants to spread the message to stop and prevent physical, emotion- al, and sexual abuse and neglect, for good. “People often turn a blind eye to child abuse, not because they don’t care, but because they feel uncomfortable with it, or unsure what to do,” says Debra Cockerton, Central Lakes / Toronto Region Coordinator for Respect- ED. Disregarding the warning signs leaves chil- dren suffering and vulner- able to a cycle of abuse and violence, she says. If you witness abuse or suspect a child is being mistreated you are asked to report what you saw or heard to the police or child welfare authorities. People should no longer stand idly by while abuse contin- ues. “If abuse is happening in a family, the family needs help. They won’t get it, and the suffering will continue if everyone pre- tends it’s not there. Do something — it’s the only way to stop the tragedy of child abuse,” Ms. Cocker- ton says.

That was the good news Thursday when a federal decision on whether to kill ITER or champion it was ex- pected but never came. Instead, the process will continue in the coming week as the federal cabinet committee continues to de- bate funding for the international energy research project. The committee, comprised of high-ranking cabinet ministers, met Thursday to make a decision on whether to recommend that Canada proceed with its bid to host the In- ternational Thermonuclear Experi- mental Reactor (ITER) in Claring- ton or to withdraw its participation in the project. A recommendation from Thursday’s meeting was to go to full cabinet Tuesday but a deci- sion could not be reached by the members, says Murray Stewart, ITER Canada president and one of the country’s lead negotiators in in- ternational talks. Canada is compet- ing against Spain, France and Japan, which also wish to host the multi-billion project, a co-operative effort between the European Union, Japan, the United States, Russian Federation, Korea and possibly, Canada. “There is no news. There is no de- cision,” said Dr. Stewart, Thursday afternoon. However, he added, the negotiating team, comprised of him- self and Natural Resources Canada officials were instructed to proceed in the coming week to Vienna to con- tinue to give this country a presence in international negotiations. “Obviously they are taking this very seriously and weighing all the benefits carefully,” he added. However, without a clear mandate from the federal government, it will be very difficult for the Canadian team to have any impact in Vienna with negotiations between the inter- national parties beginning this Wednesday, Oct. 8, concedes Dr. Stewart. Because a decision is so close as to the location of ITER, with a final choice expected by the end of November, he said without a firm mandate Canada will likely be rele- gated to observer status during this round of talks. Canada’s mandate must include a federal government commitment to match Ontario’s contribution of $1.15 billion over 30 years toward the pro- ject if it is chosen to host. If Canada participates, but does not win the bid to host, its financial commit- ment to the project would be cut in half. Regardless of whether Canada gets the ITER facility in Clarington, a large amount of its contribution would be spent in this country on re- search and development toward the initiative, aimed at creating a clean, high volume energy through fusion. The federal cabinet was initially expected to deal with the ITER question at a meeting Sept. 18 but it is believed the Ontario election was at least one reason for postpone- ment of the decision. However, MPP-elect for Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge Wayne Arthurs says his government is “very supportive” of the project and that Premier-elect Dalton McGuinty has conveyed that message to the Prime Minister. “I am very supportive of it. I will be an advocate for it,” says MPP-elect Arthurs. “We’ll be doing everything possible.” Clarington Mayor John Mutton says he believes the change to a Lib- eral government in Ontario can only help push the federal cabinet to back the project. “Both the Prime Minister and the Premier-elect have been talking about a new era of co-operation. It’s going to make it very difficult to say no to the ITER project,” he believes. Ironically, as Canada is consider- ing whether to pull out, India has re- quested to join the project but the participating countries have deter- mined India must wait until negotia- tions on the site location and other aspects of the project are complete. “Yes, its ironic. As we are consid- ering pulling out, other countries are knocking at the door trying to get in,” says Dr. Stewart. ITER’s last chance DDRR.. MMUURRRRAAYY SSTTEEWWAARRTT ‘Obviously they are taking this very seriously, and weighing all the benefits carefully.’ Durham Region marks Community Care Month BByy SShheelllleeyy JJoorrddaann Special to News Advertiser DDUURRHHAAMM — Some in town might remember the days when Albert Ovens deliv- ered bread door-to-door. Now bread is delivered to his door five nights per week by the Meals on Wheels program. Mr. Ovens, 81 and re- tired, has been on the Meals on Wheels route for 12 years, and like others, says he appreciates the comfort offered by the pro- gram, run through Durham Region Commu- nity Care. “It means someone comes to the door,” he said. “At least they know if everyone is OK.” Joan Jones volunteers time five nights a week de- livering for the program, which encompasses all of Uxbridge Township, begin- ning at Lakeridge Health Uxbridge where hot meals are prepared by hospital staff according to the needs of the client. “We might have some- one with diabetes, or someone who needs food pureed because they can’t chew,” said Ms. Jones. “The hospital takes care of these things for patients in the hospital, so they pre- pare food for our route as well.” Meals are delivered fresh at noon and at dinner, Monday to Friday, with each client receiving one meal. A frozen service is delivered every two weeks. Meals are designed with nutrition in mind, offering soup, bread, a main course and dessert. “We’ve had as many as 14 meals to deliver and as few as five,” said Ms. Jones. With two large insulated meal bags to carry, Ms. Jones stops at each resi- dence, hoists open the door of her mini-van and begins her trek to the door. Sometimes she climbs stairs to upper floor apart- ments, but her gait is steady and determined until she reaches her desti- nation. When the door opens, the client greets her with a smile. “Part of what I do is so- cial,” said Ms. Jones. “Sometimes I’m the only person a client talks to all day.” Many on the list are frail elderly, but on occasion, someone receives help be- cause they are physically challenged or living with dementia. Temporary care is often required because of an injury. Most are re- ferred to the program by family physicians, and all pay for the service accord- ing to their ability to do so. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 5, 2003 PAGE 11 A/P Ajax-Pickering Audiology Clinic 831-8311 1885 Glenanna Rd., Suite 104 Pickering, Ontario L1V 6R6 (Located in the Pickering Medical Centre) Whitby Hearing Centre 666-7726 1032 Brock St. S., Unit 4 Whitby, Ontario L1N 4L8 (Close to the 401, Brock St. exit) • Resound • Siemens • Starkey • Widex See our Audiologists and Hear the Difference.

We have an event coming up in Octo- ber.” A Harvest Bazaar at the Ux bridge Seniors’ Centre Oct. 25 will help the organization raise funds. The month of October is Durham Community Care Awareness month. Different programs will be high- lighted during the month with Meals on Wheels taking centre stage Oct. 6 to 12. Other community care services include a Respite Program, provid- ing temporary relief to caregivers of adults with special needs and frail elderly. There’s also a mental health program called COPE with individ- ual, group and educational support. The Home Support Program hous- es Meals on Wheels as well as a number of other services. Each district within Durham Re- gion will highlight programs in their own way, some with drop-in cele- brations, others with gifts for volun- teers, said Ms. Bolingbroke. “It varies, but the main idea is to show our appreciation for the hard work our people do, while drawing attention to programs.” Resting comfortably on a plush sofa in his very own apartment and able to do so because of community support, Mr. Ovens says he appreci- ates the work of Ms. Jones and the rest of the Meals on Wheels volun- teers. “I always look forward to their visit. They always look after me. It’s wonderful what they do.” The Meals on Wheels program in Ajax/Pickering urgently needs vol- unteers to pack or deliver food. The meals are delivered Monday to Fri- day between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. However, volunteers are only re- quired to deliver a meal one day of the week in either Ajax or Pickering. Training is provided for all volun- teers.

Community Care delivers the goods ✦ Community from page 11 DDUURRHHAAMM — For anyone di- agnosed in the early stages of dementia, the prognosis can be devastating. The Alzheimer Society of Durham offers a support group for those people. The support group meet- ings provide a supportive en- vironment to talk, listen and learn with others diagnosed with a form of dementia. The group will begin Nov. 4 and run on Tuesday morn- ings for six weeks for one and a half hours each week. Group discussions include an overview of dementia, dealing with emotions and relationships, telling people about the diagnosis, coping strategies, treatment op- tions, research and planning for the future. Pre-registration for the early stage support group is required and space is limit- ed.

Hurry space is limited! Art Venables joined a host of younger hopefuls to qualify for CPGA certification and now he’s ready to hit the tour links BByy SSttaavvrroouullaa MMeeddiittsskkooss Yo u’re never too old to take a swing at something new. Just ask Art Venables. The longtime Ontario resi- dent, received his Canadian Pro- fessional Golfers’ Association certification this summer, at the age of 50. A former salesman turned school community advisor, Ven- ables took up golf in 1980 but stopped to raise his children. With nearly 25 years of experi- ence in the sport – 12 of them as a serious golfer – he revisited it and even landed a job at the Humber Valley Golf Course dur- ing summers off. Following early retirement last March, he worked at the Etobicoke golf course as a full-time pro shop manager. On Aug. 22, he became a certi- fied CPGA member after two consecutive qualifying rounds of golf in Cambridge. He was the oldest in a group of 150 men competing for certification. “I didn’t see anybody to looked to be over 30 certainly. The vast majority was 18 to 25. This is a career that people start quite young,” he says. To qualify, Venables had to play 36 holes in one day. As there are no power carts, he had to walk the entire course. “I think I have the game to play with those kids, but the stamina to go 36 holes in one day was the biggest obstacle, and the fact that (the temperature) was like a thousand degrees the days I played.” The decision to become a CPGA member was one Ven- ables had considered for a few years, but said the timing was right. “I just decided it was time for me to do what I wanted to do, in- stead of what I had to do. I’m 50 years old, I should be enjoying what I do, rather than going to work every day for the sake of going to work.” He says after working with the pros, his game improved to the point where he believed he could do it. With CPGA certification, Ven- ables is eligible to qualify for tour events such as the Canadian Open, Pro-Am and the Great Lakes Tour. Although he missed this year’s deadlines, he will try to qualify next year. He is also hoping a Canadian seniors tour will also be developed so he can play that as well. But he admits there is another reason for his desire to compete. “My real goal from the beginning was I felt there was an opportu- nity for a business to be created for servicing corporate golf,” he explains. “I think corporations are spending all of their (entertain- ment) money on golf now as op- posed to dinner and booze, so there must be an opening or an opportunity for a golf profession- al to market himself to corporate Canada and say, ‘If you want to reward your good clients or best salespeople... then send me with your good clients and I’ll spend an hour on the range with them and we’ll do a playing lesson,’.” Whether his business pitch suc- ceeds or not, Venables says get- ting his CPGA certification was one of the best moments in his life. He also has advice for other older aspiring golfers. “Believe. You can do it. It’s hard work, like everything else, but the reward – well, this is ab- solutely one of the proudest of accomplishments. I’ve done a lot of things in my life but I don’t re- member being any prouder than this.” Let’s go golfingPeople▼▼FY Art Venables received his CPGA certification at the age of 50.

But sitting in a cramped seat for extended periods of times can cause blood clots to develop. These medically are known as deep vein thrornbosis (DVT). This potential problem, sometimes called “economy class syndrome”, has been in the news of last after a 28 - year - old travelling from Australia to London died. An autopsy later confirmed that she died as a result of DVT. Most of us only think of blood clots as occurring in older people, or those with pre-existing health concerns, but the death of this young lady shows that the elderly are not the only potential victims of DVT. Although the term economy class syndrome infers that the problem occurs only with air travel, individuals seated in movie theatres, cars and other vehicles and even those seated in business class may be at risk. It can also happen to patients bedridden in hospitals. Immobility, and not the environments, is the greatest factor leading to DVT. Plane travel, however does not put the passenger in very confined surroundings, especially in window or middle seats. The space between the seats has also decreased over the years making it difficult to stretch. Medical studies have not def initively found a link between air travel and DVT. One study found no correlation at all, while another said that the average healthy person would need some other underlying factors. One of the most famous individuals to develop DVT while travelling by air was American vice-president Dan Quayle, when in 1994 a leg clot travelled to his lung. Most of us need not worry about DVT, as flight related cases are very rare. Sign and symptoms of DVT are pain, warmth, and /or swelling of the legs. Shortness of breath may also be present. People who think they are at risk should consult their family physician before travelling. Medical conditions that may affect passengers are previous episodes of leg clots, previous leg or pelvic surgery, leg injury, varicosities or pregnancy. Those who smoke take birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, chemotherapy as well as those with heart disease or diabetes have increased susceptibility to long periods of immobility. Lastly, the overweight, elderly and very tall passengers will find themselves more confined by cramped seating. Any amount of immobility is not healthy. Sitting for long periods of time without contracting your leg muscles can cause the pooling of blood in the deep veins leading to DVT. Walking on the plane every hour is the best way to prevent clot, even if it means climbing over the passenger beside you. Avoid placing your carry-on bags under the seat in front of you so you can stretch your legs out more easily. While sitting, flex your ankles up and down as if you were stepping on the accelerator. Repeat this 20 times every couple of hours. Another exercise is to clinch your toes and hold for three seconds at a time. This will aid in contracting your calf muscles. Never sit cross legged. Speak to your family physician about taking aspirin before flying to help to keep blood thinner. Air on a plane has less humidity. This can lead to dehy dration, thickening the blood and making it more prone to clots. Drinking an eight - ounce glass of water every two hours will help prevent blood from stagnating. When booking seats on an airplane, always choose those with the greatest amount of leg room. Ask for the seats on an exit row, the bulkhead or on the aisle. Remember, immobility is one of the greatest causes of DVT, whether you are in a hospital bed, sitting in the theatre or flying on an airplane. Know if you are at risk and speak to your medical doctor. If you have any questions you would like answered or a topic you would like addressed, send to ASK THE PODIATRIST, C/O THE NEWS ADVERTISER. Ask The Podiatrist Ronald J. Klein B.Sc., D.P.M. Podiatrist-Foot Specialist Travelling by Air?... Work those legs and feet With the Thanksgiving weekend approaching, many of us will be driving out of town to be with family and friends. At the Durham Orthopedic and Sports Injury Clinic our physiotherapists often treat patients with neck and back strain secondary to prolonged driving or sitting. Below are some tips to follow to help avoid strain to your spine and make your trip more enjoyable and pain-free Good posture is your key to safety and driving comfort. Make certain you can see above the steering wheel; if you have to stretch up and forward to see over it, the result will be neck and back strain. Sit close to the wheel and avoid slouching. To prevent neck injury if an accident occurs, the headrest should be high enough to stop your head from being thrown backward. Angry? Anxious? Stressed out? Don’t take your anger and frustration out on other drivers and their families. Stay cool! Take some deep breaths and relax before starting the car. If you are not fit to drive - don’t. Park your car and get help. Beware! When you are sitting in the front seat of a car, reaching for an object behind you results in a twisting motion that stresses and may injure the back, neck and shoulder muscles. Salt, cat litter (which is lighter and offers better traction than sand) and a shovel in the trunk of your car may be your best “car insurance” to get out of snowdrifts and hazardous parking lots. When stopped on a highway or at a traffic light, take the time to do an exercise that relaxes your back muscles, instead of getting uptight. While looking straight ahead, put your f ingertips on your chin and gently push your head straight back into the headrest. Repeat several times. This motion straightens and stretches the muscles in the back of the neck, reducing tension and strain. If you are prone to lower back pain, support the lumbar area with a rolled towel or lumbar support. An achy back is a distraction and a hazard. Take frequent stretch breaks on long drives. Driving marathons and driving in poor weather conditions results in extra tension in the neck and back muscles. To reduce neck and shoulder strain, roll the shoulders forward and backward several times. Shoulder rolls can be done safely while driving. Stay alert. Ensure full visibility. Avoid slouching in the seat, and winter driving won’t be a pain in the neck! Happy Thanksgiving from the staff of Durham Orthopedic and Sports Injury Clinic.

When the school was built 50 years ago, a time capsule was lodged in the corner- stone - but no one can remember what it contains. Rosebank’s students and staff, past and present, mark the school’s half century next week. Principal Kelly Killoran says the capsule’s contents will largely deter- mine the next step. If there’s no room for additions, it may simply be displayed and returned. If space per- mits, current students can deposit their own future artefacts. But that raises even more questions - what would go into the time capsule to mark 2003? “There’s just so many options; it’s huge,” she says. “It’s so much fun when you have something like this. When we see what they’ve done, we’ll know. I don’t want to make a deci- sion now.” Grade 8 student Alexandra Chicoine has an opinion. “I think it’ll be what the kids 50 years ago thought about the (new) school,” she says. Students are creating handprints of themselves to be displayed in the gym as part of the fun, and on each will be their name and guess. Alexandra is a member of the school’s anniversary committee. She and other students will be greeters, masters of ceremonies and sellers of memorabilia when former staff and students visit the school Wednesday night. The assembly itself is an invi- tation-only affair, since the school’s gym is so small, however the general public is invited to drop by after 6:30 p.m. to visit the decade rooms. “We wanted to help out the princi- pal because she’s new to the school and we wanted to get to know her,” says Victoria Pantopoulos, a fellow committee member and Grade 8, of why she and her peers volunteered. Victoria says the school communi- ty is looking forward to next week and described what makes it special. “It’s really small and everyone knows each other, and everyone’s friends in the community, so I think they’re excited about the anniver- sary,” she says. Grade 8 student and committee member Melissa Gunewardena says part of their job in planning the event was to think of jobs to do when guests come to the school Wednes- day night. Ms. Killoran has been on the job for just a month, however she’s al- ready learned a lot about the school in getting ready for the anniversary. The celebration actually kicked off last year with the creation of a story- book garden, where students will gather when Ms. Anthony opens up the time capsule and shares what life at Rosebank used to be like. She was the school secretary for about 35 years. “It’s small school; it’s a small com- munity school,” says Ms. Killoran. “Our boundaries are all natural boundaries.” She notes it’s also fairly isolated, as there are only two roads, Rouge- mount Drive and Granite Court, in and out. People who move into Rose- bank generally stay, she says, noting the parents of several current stu- dents also went to the school. “It’s a wonderful parent communi- ty; they’re very involved with their children,” says Ms. Killoran. “And because it’s small everybody knows everyone and their children. It makes it a very close community be- cause everyone is respectful of one another.” Before the school was built (for $87,000), she says “the students had to walk up to Rouge Hill to a school, and the parents were very concerned about the kids having to travel so far.” Pat Rogers is the school’s current, and second secretary. Rosebank was a provincial election polling station Friday and she said she saw a lot of former students who said they would be attending next week. Ms. Rogers notes that almost all of the school’s former teachers are coming as well. “I’m really looking forward to the event,” she says.

However there is some help and support out there to guide you through your weight- loss journey. Nominated for a 2003 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Weight Loss Clinic, Herbal Magic has been helping Ajax and Pickering residents achieve their weight-loss goals the natural way. Diane Freigh, who visits the Herbal Magic Pickering location, says she has been very successful with her customized weight-loss program. “I’ve been on every imaginable diet out there and could not lose the weight,” she says. “And when I did lose some weight, I would gain it back.” Four months ago she contacted Herbal Magic and started her weight-loss program; she is now only two pounds away from her weight-loss goal of 137 pounds. “I feel great! Absolutely fantastic,” she says. Not only is she pleased with her results but also with the staff at Herbal Magic. “They’re very helpful,” she says. “They are the best.” She also enjoys the one-on-one contact with the Herbal Magic counsellor and that there is a level of discipline involved with the program. “I come in three days a week, which makes it a lot easier to stick with the program,” she adds. Vivian Bent, who visits the Ajax Herbal Magic clinic, says the clinic helped get her life back. “After finding out that I had a under-active thyroid, my struggle with my weight began. Over the years I tried every diet, weight- loss program, pills, shakes and joined various health clubs and gyms,” she says. “But that only resulted in debt, and no results. Then one day she walked into Herbal Magic and everything changed for her. “They took the time to listen to me, which was a real change from the other places I had been to,” she says. “Then they explained to me every detail of their program and how it could suit my personal needs. She too enjoyed the one-on-one contact and felt that the staff was very caring. “Every week when I went to be weighed they would always offer encouragement and never let me give up on my goal, which helped me stay motivated,” she says. It only took a week for Ms. Bent to start seeing results, and in total she has lost 40 pounds, which she has maintained for the past three months. “I recommend this program to anyone who is concerned about his or her weight and wants to lose any excess pounds because I truly believe that this program can work for anybody,” she says. Herbal Magic provides solutions to weight-loss and health through the combination of nature and science using high quality nutritional products. All of Herbal Magic’s products are of natural origin with no fillers.

Ajax/Pickering 905-420-3141 www.oxfordlearning.com READERS CHOICE TOP 3 NOMINEES Carousel Wines has one of the finest brew-your-own wine facilities in Pickering, according to the nominations for this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards. Owner-operator Jazz Austin says the key to Carousel’s success has been a basic philosophy that he strongly adheres to. “If you’re good to the people, they’ll always give back to you.” Mr. Austin considers his customers part of an extended family, since he’s befiriended many of them through organized cruises and trips to Casino Rama. No other winemaker has such a close connection with its clients, Mr. Austin claims. Aside from customer care, Carousel has a number of other factors going for it: price, for one thing. Mr. Austin says wine can be made at his store for as low as $3 a bottle, much cheaper than a typical brand at a liquor store. “People like being able to save money, while getting a half-decent bottle of wine.” Many different kits are available for the discriminating wine lover. The company uses a reverse-osmosis filtration system, resulting in very pure water, along with a fluoroscope to remove any bacteria present in the batch. This helps to maintain a high grade of wine, rivalling that of more expensive brand-name labels. Carousel has been part of the Pickering community for about eight years. Mr. Austin believes his company’s long history and location, along with the great knowledge and friendliness of his staff, add to a positive winemaking experience that customers will continually return to. The winemaker is located at 1794 Liverpool Rd., just south of Kingston Rd. For more information, call 905-831-3244. Carousel Wines nominated for Readers’ Choice Best Winemaker Offering Shoppers Good Old Fashioned Service While Constantine’s Your Independent Grocer may look like the typical grocery store from the outside, it is anything but ordinary. Inside this locally-owned and operated grocery store is a hard-working team dedicated to making your weekly shopping trip as pleasant as possible. “We try very hard to provide the best customer service,” says owner Constantine Isslamow, who runs the business with his wife Andrea. “We try to give a little extra back to the customer.” Mr. Isslamow started his career in the grocery business 20 years ago as a clean up boy in the meat department. He worked his way up the grocery retail ladder, and in December 2000 he and Andrea purchased the 32,500 sq. ft. store, located on Dixie Road. And while he is now the boss, Mr. Isslamow can often be seen working in various departments throughout the store. A full service grocery store, Constantine’s offers one-stop shopping for all your household needs. Their departments include the Farmer’s Market, where you will find a wonderful selection of fresh produce, the Bakery, where all the goods are freshly baked in-store daily, a deli, health and beauty and a Photolab for all your photo processing needs. Constantine’s is nominated for a Readers’ Choice Award in the category of Best Grocery Store. Visit Constantine’s Your Independent Grocer at 1900 Dixie Rd. in Pickering. READERS CHOICE TOP 3 NOMINEES Orchard Villa Retirement Residence would like to thank the loyal readers of the News Advertiser for nominating them for the Readers’ Choice Award for Best Retirement Living for the third consecutive year. Orchard Villa has a long history in the community of Pickering beginning in 1959 with the founding of Community Lifecare by Fred and Marie Lafontaine. A builder from northern Quebec, Mr. Lafontaine moved to Toronto in 1945 where he later met and married Marie-Paule Rochefort. In the spring of 1959 they purchased a summer resort located on the Rouge River just outside of Pickering. They transformed it into an exceptional and innovative convalescent home. In response to the needs of the community, Village Retirement Centre, located at 1955 Valley Farm Road was established in 1980. Over the years, Orchard Villa has prospered and experienced consistent growth, earning a reputation as one of Durham’s finest retirement residences. With the recent completion of five new one-bedroom apartments, Orchard Villa will continue to offer personalized care and service suited to the individual taste of their clients. As a special thank you, Orchard Villa Retirement Residence welcomes you to visit them anytime. Drop in for a tour or call ahead to schedule a personalized tour with their marketing coordinator.

Nominated for a 2003 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Casual Fine Dining, Rendezvous Bistro and Bar is a one-of-kind dining destination. Setting this restaurant apart from all the rest is its unique décor as well as a diverse menu that offers a wonderful fusion of flavours from around the world, compliments of Chef Adam Chafe. As soon as you walk through the doors of Rendezvous you know you have come to a special place. There are no words to properly categorize its decor except maybe the word funky-tables are made of black granite, splashes of bright bold colour are found in chairs and in window treatments, while thought-provoking wrought-iron sculptures placed throughout the dining room are sure to intrigue you. On the very diverse menu at Rendezvous you will discover many delightful and unexpected surprises, and it is difficult to narrow your choice down to just one entrée. Under appetizers you can find some tasty seafood creations such as PEI blue mussels, jumbo black tiger shrimp breaded in coconut and served with a peach salsa as well as almond crusted brie fritters, just to name a few. For dinner indulge in a perfect pasta dish, with many to choose from including the bistro’s signature dish, Rendezvous Pasta, which is made of black tiger shrimp, sea scallops, broccoli, spinach, bell peppers all tossed in a pesto alfredo sauce served over fettuccine. Or there’s filet mignon or Malibu chicken, a dish featuring grilled chicken breasts topped with curried coconut pineapple rum sauce. The menu also offers a selection of lunch entrees, salads as well as sandwiches. Just a few doors down is Rendezvous’ brother establishment, The Edge. Nominated for Best Billiards, The Edge is a classic lounge where music, warm hospitality and billiards come together. It is the perfect place to stop by for a drink with the gang after a hard day’s work or to visit on a weekend afternoon for a couple games of pool. It has a very warm and cozy atmosphere thanks to the crackling fireplaces and the deep comfy couches and chairs begging you to sit down and relax. While The Edge is a great spot for socializing or for catching the game, it’s also the spot to grab a quick bite to eat. Wings, pizza, ribs, sandwiches and pastas are just some of the tasty treats you will find on the menu. At The Edge there is always lots of entertainment to be enjoyed such as music played by the in-house DJ on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and free pool. This month the lounge will be hosting its fourth annual Halloween Party with complimentary beverages and appetizers served from 7 to 9 p.m. and prizes for the best costumes (the grand prize is a two-day get-away at the Bonnie View Inn). The party takes place on Friday, Oct. 31. Did you know The Edge can be reserved for private parties during the holiday season? Wouldn’t that be a unique setting for you and your staff to celebrate the festive season? All you have to do is pick the time and the day and the friendly helpful staff will take care of the rest. Assorted menus are available as well as personalized buffets for larger parties. With its casual relaxed atmosphere, cozy setting and free pool, The Edge is a wonderful alternative when it comes to hosting your staff party this holiday season. Rendezvous Bistro and Bar and The Edge are located at 250 Bayly St. in Ajax. For more information contact Rendezvous at 905-426-9573 and The Edge at 905-426- 9692.

And as they nurture a love of music, they enjoy countless other benefits. “Children find a hobby that often lasts a lifetime,” says Tara Dunne, a piano and vocal instructor at the Durham School of Music in Pickering Village. Improved self-esteem is another benefit. “Students are finding their forte: something they enjoy and something they’re good at. They see their progress and feel pride in what they’re accomplishing.” Many music students also become stronger academically. “Music works the left side of the brain, the more creative part of the brain,” Ms. Dunne explains. “In turn, that encourages the right side of the brain to work harder, helping them in subjects like math.” Though music comes more easily for some than others, all can learn an instrument. “Some people have a natural talent, while others will have to work harder to master an instrument. But anyone can play any instrument they want to, as long as they work at it.” The choice of instruments is a personal one, though many begin with piano. “Once they learn the theory, they can go to any instrument,” says Ms. Dunne. Established in 1988 by owner Kevin Jay Jones, the Durham School of Music offers a wide range of private lessons, including piano, violin, guitar, drums, trumpet, saxophone, keyboard and theory. It offers all levels, from beginner classes for students as young as four years. Mr. Jones taught guitar lessons for 15 years before establishing his music school. Today, Durham School of Music is home to 40 accomplished instructors and more than 600 students from throughout Durham Region. Instructors include musician and composer Ray Hickey, Jr. A student of Robert Fripp and Frank Gamble, Mr. Hickey has worked with such artists as Ron Korb. His first album, Alizarin Sky, offers a distinctive blend of folk, jazz and world music. Located in a century home, Durham School of Music offers a huge selection of music publications (music books and sheet music) and instruments. It carries such brands as Fender, Yamaha, Yorkville Sound, Gibson, Line 6, Crate and Godin. It also offers repairs and rentals. Mr. Jones has proudly created a comfortable atmosphere, where both students and instructors feel at ease. The 4,200-square-foot building is home to 3,000 square feet of lesson studios, each with its own set of windows. “When selecting a music school, you want the right atmosphere: somewhere where you feel comfortable,” advises Ms. Dunne. “You want an instructor who encourages their students to practise and who can assess each student’s progress and keep them learning at a comfortable pace.” Students thrive on the school’s family atmosphere. “Instructors share their love of music and we all enjoy the homey feel here,” says Ms. Dunne. “Students see so many other students and hear them all practising. I think it motivates them to do their best.” Thanks to all our Readers for voting in this years Readers Choice A/P PAGE 24 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 5, 2003 www.durhamregion.com www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDITION, October 5, 2003 PAGE 25 A/P 401 Bayly LiverpoolBrock Rd.WestneyHarwood975 Brock Rd., Unit 13 Pickering Tel: (905) 420-8183 Fax: (905) 420-6714 $289 HARDWOOD SOLID SQ.FT.

Sisters Pace Fitness is a circuit training facility for women, any age, and any fitness level. Circuit training alternates upper body strength training exercises with aerobic recovery stations followed by lower body exercises, while maintaining a target heart rate.

Since 1998, audiences have gathered at the Ajax club to see top Canadian stand-up comedy talent. A pool of about 100 comics take turns on the mike Thursday to Saturday nights with Sundays reserved for amateurs hoping to become the next Jim Carrey, who got his start on a Yuk Yuk’s stage in Toronto at age 15. Owner-manager Bob Bedard says some people believe Canadian comics can’t deliver the laughs. “There’s an idea that because they’re Canadian, they’re not funny. We’ve had some big names come from the U.S. but I think a lot of Canadian comics are funnier. We don’t give them enough credit, even though they’re better entertainment value.” Many of the comics who’ve appeared at Yuk Yuk’s Ajax have had successful careers elsewhere. Ottawa comic Tracey MacDonald is a regular headliner who became Comedian Champion on CBS-TV’s Star Search in May. Owen Sound’s Johnny Gardhouse, meanwhile, has appeared in numerous commercials and, in 1995, gained international notoriety with his sketch troupe, the Blockheads, by hoaxing American talk show host Jerry Springer. Talent is so good, Bedard says, that many customers return to the club every week to catch a new act, often asking when a certain comic will perform. But he warns: “Don’t tell everyone you had a good time because next time, the show might be sold out!” Yuk Yuk’s Ajax is located at 235 Bayly St. W.

A Durham fixture since 1949, the family owned and operated business is now into its 55th year of serving its loyal customers, who have nominated it for “Best Heating and Air Conditioning Business” for the Readers’ Choice Awards. It previously won in 1997, 2000, and 2001. Rodman’s has always had a reputation for its superior service by licensed technicians. It began life installing oil furnaces, continued with gas heating, and later branched out into air conditioning, which is now a big part of its business, with new housing developments exploding all across Durham. Rodman’s draws from such well- respected manufacturers as Tempstar and Carrier for its home installations, with Continental fireplaces and Insta-flame ceramic burners. While the company offers a standard maintenance package, it’s unique in that it also provides a yearly insurance plan for its furnace and aircon units. Twenty-four hour emergency service is just a phone call away. The company attributes its success to its individual focus on the customer. People are treated like family or old friends, not mere numbers. In fact, much of Rodman’s business is based on referrals from happy customers who’ve spread the word to their loved ones. It’s no wonder Rodman’s has been honoured with a number of business excellence awards over the years. But Rodman’s is more than just a business; it’s an integral part of the community. It’s lent its support to a number of minor-league sports teams in the area, and has been a major sponsor of events like the Ajax Fall Family Festival, as well as the Ajax Optimist Club’s Home Week Fun Fair and BBQ. Such community enthusiasm has made it a favourite of customers hoping to bring that warmth of spirit into their own homes.

The senior girls’ basketball game was played at Pine Ridge Tuesday afternoon. The Pumas posted a 51-35 victory over the visiting Spartans. BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— Thursday's show- down of undefeated junior boys' soccer teams settled nothing. It was a victory of sorts for the Dunbarton Spartans and the Denis O'Connor Chargers, but certainly not an all-important win as they played to a 1-1 draw in Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) action at Dunbarton. Entering Thursday's clash, the Spartans were riding high with a sparkling 4-0 LOSSA record, in- cluding a decisive 6-0 win over Ajax High School Wednesday and a 9-0 whitewashing of city rival Pine Ridge Secondary School Monday. Still, for Dunbarton, the draw was an improvement over what appeared to be an impending loss. With time running out, the Spartans threw everything but the kitchen sink at the Chargers before being rewarded with the equalizer late in the second half. For DO'C, which also entered the game unbeaten with a 4-0-1 LOSSA record, the tie was a good result, considering the Chargers were bowed but unbro- ken in the contest where, at times, they were badly outplayed by the surging Spartans. In fact, the Spartans had one goal disal- lowed, while a free kick from Matthew Groves with designs on the top corner pinged off the crossbar in the late stages of the contest. Chargers' coach Lou Sposato says he was extremely pleased with the way his players hung to- gether, despite Dunbarton's un- relenting pressure in the last half. He was, however, hoping his team could make better use of a strong wind at their backs in the first half. "I thought we did well against them," says Sposato, who coach- es the DO'C juniors along with Rose Tyms. "I thought we did a pretty good job, although I thought we could have popped in a couple more (goals) with the wind (in the first half)." Spartans' coach Alan Kendall was delighted with his team's never-say-die attitude, as they netted the equalizer late in the game and then continued to push hard for a possible game- winning marker right through to the final whistle. "I was impressed by the way we finished the game. They looked determined to win it even though we were 1-0 down. We kept going forward," noted Kendall. In preparation for Dunbarton, Sposato says he shuffled the deck slightly, moving sweeper Matt Ward to the striker position and moving regular goalkeeper Stuart Ayres to the striker posi- tion and using Brian Penfold in the net in the first half. The goalkeeping, in particular, was solid for DO'C, as Penfold and Ayres were tested in the con- test. Wa rd opened the scoring for DO'C early in the contest, with that goal holding up through to the end of the first half. Late in the second half, a blast by Daniel Peterson from about 18 -yards out found room behind DO'C goalkeeper Ayres to put the Spartans on an even footing.

Its Never to Late to Join Ringette • Learn to Skate • Discover a Sport T.O’s ‘Killer’ ponders life after Leafs Q&A session with Doug Gilmour BByy BBrraadd KKeellllyy Staff Editor DDUURRHHAAMM ——While they stand in a long lineup to get into Scugog Arena as darkness falls on a Sunday night, people begin cran- ing their necks and shuf- fling around to get a better look inside. "There he is," someone mutters. "He's right there," declares another, extend- ing an arm fully and point- ing with an index finger to an area just beyond the box office. "He's not very big," whispers another. 'He' is former NHLer Doug Gilmour, who gra- ciously accepted an invita- tion to attend the home opener of the Port Perry MoJacks. There is also an under- lying reason for his ap- pearance. His nephew, second-year forward Jay Belland, is the assistant captain on the Jr. C hock- ey club. While Gilmour flashed that golden smile of his for some photos, signed countless autographs and took part in the ceremoni- al opening faceoff, he also took time out for the local media, offering some in- sight into one of the most popular players to ever wear a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr:: Can you remember the last time you were at a junior game? GGiillmmoouurr::Actually pretty much every year I get out, sometimes Jr. C, some- times Jr. B and sometimes Jr. A. I try to get out a lot. NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr::Now that you've had some time to ref lect, did you get to re- tire on your own terms? GGiillmmoouurr::It had to be on my terms because of my injury, otherwise I would- n't have retired right now, I would have tried to con- template coming back. I knew how (my knee) felt and it wasn't going to be a good situation. NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr::Will you still go to the games? GGiillmmoouurr::I'm a hockey fan. I'm not ever going to hang my skates up. I'm going to keep on playing in differ- ent leagues and having some fun playing with the alumni guys. NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr::Do you already have tickets, or are you going to have to wait outside the ACC and barter with scalpers like the rest of us? GGiillmmoouurr:: I've had tickets for the past seven or eight years. Obviously they are a little more expensive now (laughs). They're for me, my family and my friends. I've got friends with tickets beside me, so we share those so I can bring my kids to the games once in awhile and vice versa. NNeewwss AAddvveerriittsseerr:: What is the attraction or mystique about the Toronto Maple Leafs? GGiillmmoouurr::Obviously being in the NHL, having the chance to come back to Ontario. With the history, I grew up watching Hock- ey Night in Canada, so it was a homecoming. NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr::What is your impression of the media that cover the teams on a daily basis? GGiillmmoouurr::That's part of the game and that's never been an issue with me. The hardest time was in Montreal because you don't understand (the lan- g uage). Usually you can read the papers and un- derstand what they're say- ing, but it didn't bother me. NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr::Fans al- ways think of you as an in- tense guy because of the way you played. What do you do to relax? GGiillmmoouurr::A little bit of everything. I've got young boys (Jake and Tyson) now, my daughter (Maddi- son) is in university so I've got a lot of things on my plate that I've put off the last 20 years. NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr::You're home alone and get a chance to crank the stereo - what do you put on? GGiillmmoouurr:: Depends on what my mood is. Before a game it would be Pearl Jam or Metallica or Tragi- cally Hip. Other times to relax it's Barenaked Ladies or a little Tim Mc- Graw. NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr::You have such a public life. Are you able to have a private life, or is it always 'Hey, Doug, sign here'? GGiillmmoouurr:: No, not at all. I've been pretty lucky. The fans have been great, they just want to say hi. We get out a lot. NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr::Now that you've retired, how do you want to be remembered by your teammates? GGiillmmoouurr::Well, I think that's up to them to say. In the terms of a hockey player you just want your peers to respect you. Former Leaf Doug Gilmour, attending a recent junior hockey game in Durham, spoke about his retirement from the blue and white before the start of training camp.

Kirk and doubles partner win Masters tennis under-16 crown PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— A Pickering tennis player had double the fun, while f inishing off the outdoor season in style. Playing in the Ontario Tennis Association (OTA) under-16 masters tournament last week- end, Maia Kirk and doubles partner Alexandra Odell- Michels, of Scarborough, won the doubles final. The four-star event, hosted by the Valleywood Tennis Club, featured an invited field of the top players in the province and was played over two successive weekends. Kirk and Odell-Michels met Maria Gassanova and Valerie Ushanova, of the Mayfair West club, in the final, which was played under the lights. Kirk and Odell-Michels cruised in the first set 6-1, but dropped the second 1-6. In the third, the duo's gritty net play carried it to a 6-4 win and gold medals. After a first-round bye, Kirk and Odell-Michels got down to business, defeating Sarah Lotto and Steffi Wong of Richmond Hill 7-5, 6-3. Their next match resulted in the biggest upset of the tournament as they knocked off the top-seeded team of Izabella Glinska and Natalia Toporowski, both of whom were fresh from the Ten- nis Nationals in Vancouver. In a match that featured dazzling play on both sides of the net, Kirk and Odell-Michels pre- vailed in a 6-4, 7-6(4) tie-break decision. This triumph came on the heels of Kirk's singles victory in the Granite Club Champi- onships in late August and her f irst-ever appearance in the OTA under-18 masters final at Rosedale Tennis Club in early September. At the Granite, her last tour- nament in the under-14 catego- ry, Kirk played well on the unfa- miliar clay surface, reaching the trophy round without dropping a set. But, the masters event at the Rosedale club proved a bigger challenge. The youngest girl in the draw, Kirk stepped up her game to compete in the senior age group. She started strong, defeating former provincial champion Alexandra Odell- Michels 7-6(3), 6-0. Kirk then took her next opponent, Scar- borough's Megan Bedeau, in straight sets 6-2, 6-3, and then stormed through the semifinal, defeating Elysa Kliman of the Boulevard Club 6-0, 6-2. U nfor- tunately, she lost her momen- tum when a scheduling blunder by club officials resulted in the f inal being postponed for a week. When the match was eventually played, Kirk bowed to Izabella Glinska, of Rich- mond Hill (ranked sixth among Ontario's under-18s), 6-2, 6-3. The masters doubles outcome brings Kirk's total to seven wins on this year's outdoor circuit. She is currently ranked 10th in Ontario in the under-16 age group. A student at Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School, Kirk trains with John Long of Ajax Winter Ten- nis.
