There could be some scary surprises for trick or treaters looking for candy on Halloween night. You've been warned. Audience pulls no punches at PESCA debate BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG - Doug Dickerson may be running against Dave Ryan for the mayoral seat in Pickering, but his fiercest oppo- nent was the audience Wednes- day night. The former regional councillor found himself on the defensive for most of the candidates’ de- bate hosted by the Pickering East Shore Community Associa- tion. Mr. Dickerson was chal- lenged on his promise to bring Pickering’s taxes back down to a zero per cent increase now that more services are downloaded from the Province. He refuted claims he was on council in the “easy years” and pointed out Pickering was facing similar tax rate increases in 1988 when he was first elected. “In 1989, we did get it down to under 10 per cent and by 1991, it was down to zero or one per cent,” Mr. Dickerson said. “Yes it can be done by saying no to the frills and running the City like a business. It takes a lot of hard work but I believe very strongly it can be achieved.” But his rival for the mayor seat disagreed, pointing out mu- nicipalities are struggling to keep up with the cost of living and deliver services. “We have to live within our means,” said Mr. Ryan. “In- creasing our industrial and com- mercial base helps. Right now we have an 80-20 split between residential and industrial com- mercial taxes. I would like to see that increased to 60-40. “To say you are going to deliv- er zero per cent is irresponsible. It simply can’t be done.” Mr. Dickerson was also taken to task for his campaign materi- al, in which he takes credit for securing a $340,000 grant for the waterfront trail during his previ- ous time in office.

We knew where we were going on the funding of it at the time,” Mr. Dick- erson said, adding it was an entire council effort. But Mr. Ryan said Coun. Holland was the one who “picked up the vi- sion that came out of the Mayor’s Wa t erfront Task Force” and ran with it. Community volunteers also spent many hours working on the waterfront task force to make those recommendations, he said. “That’s volunteerism. For us, as politicians, to take credit for that is quite frankly, despicable,” Mr. Ryan added. Asked to describe his manage- ment style, Mr. Ryan said, “One of building bridges. There’s a way to get the job done without putting yourself first.” Mr. Dickerson said he would work well with staff but encourages a “di- versity of opinion” on council. “But you make a decision and get on with the next issue,” he said. “I don’t believe you need to study everything to death.” Nuclear safety was raised during the debate between Ward 2 local candidates Bill McLean and Brian Evely. The candidates were asked how safe residents are living around the Pickering nuclear station given recent news reports about possible terrorist threats to the plant. “It’s my understanding, there was no safety breach and I would com- mend the security measures in place at the plant. They’ve heightened since 9/11,” said Mr. Evely. “But there should be more communication be- tween Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and the community. I’d also like to see a no-fly zone around the plant.” Mr. McLean said a no-fly zone is “a nice idea, but totally impossible” given the proximity of the plant to Pearson International. OPG has also assured him the plant is “impregnable” to a plane crash and Durham Regional Police’s tactical officers provide perimeter patrol, he said. “OPG does hand out flyers and knock on doors in the community,” Mr. McLean said. “We get notified whenever someone sneezes in there.” Candidates feel the heat at PESCA debate ✦ Candidates from page 1 DDUURRHHAAMM — A News Advertiser story Oct. 22 about the Durham Re- gion Employment Network and its work in helping the disabled find employment contained an error.

Sherri Hughes takes over from Kevin Slaney BByy DDaanniieellllee MMiilllleeyy Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Constable Sherri Hughes knows she has a big job on her hands. Const. Hughes officially took over as the Durham Re- gion Crime Stoppers co-ordi- nator from retiring Sergeant Kevin Slaney Oct. 28. “It’s huge shoes to fill. He’s put a lot of life into the pro- gram,” she said. “His passion and enthusiasm have taken the program to new heights.” Sgt. Slaney spent eight years as Crime Stoppers co- ordinator, acting as a liaison between the organization’s board of directors and Durham Regional Police. “They (directors) are the program,” Sgt. Slaney said. “They are responsible for all the facets of the program.” Const. Hughes has prior experience with Crime Stop- pers having worked as an as- sistant co-ordinator a few years ago. She is glad to be back. “I see that it works. It’s an awesome program,” she said. “It is probably the foremost community crime-prevention program.” Crime Stoppers, which has been running in Durham since 1986, operates in 40 areas across Ontario. “The goal of the program is to encourage the community to get involved by reporting information regarding crimi- nal activity,” Sgt. Slaney said. Const. Hughes’s career with Durham police began in 1988 as a cadet. Since then, she’s spent time on patrol in Whitby and Oshawa and the last six years as a member of the offender management unit. Sgt. Slaney feels confident leaving the program in her hands. “She’s very professional, personable and has great communication skills,” he said. “She has an excellent understanding of the pro- gram and how it works. She will no doubt bring new ideas to the Crime Stoppers pro- gram.” Although she has spent most of her time in her new position in training, Const. Hughes does have some ideas she would like to implement. “I do have a vision for the program. I would like to make it so no one can drive through Durham Region without see- ing, hearing or reading the Crime Stoppers name,” she said. She added she wants every- one from school-aged stu- dents to seniors to have a basic understanding of the program, including the num- ber to call: 1-800-222-TIPS.

At Valley Farm Rd. Pickering Square Plaza Phone 905-831-8333 BByy DDaanniieellllee MMiilllleeyy Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — The province’s $5.6-billion deficit is going to delay transportation improve- ments in Durham, says Regional chairman Roger Anderson. “Infrastructure and transit are going to be se- verely impacted by the deficit,” he said. “(Projects will) not necessarily be stopped but delayed. “It’s going to slow down the provincial transit fund- ing.” The Region is anxiously awaiting the extension of the 407, which Mr. Ander- son said would generate huge investments and growth for Durham. He said he wasn’t ex- pecting the deficit to be so big. The deficit was an- nounced Wednesday by former provincial auditor Erik Peters. “I was a little surprised it was that big,” Mr. Ander- son said. “I think every- body was expecting some- thing but that amount of money is going to be hard to come up with...It’s just an enormous amount of money.” He said he believes the newly elected Liberals will still be able to follow through on some of their plans. “The deficit has created a bit of a problem but I think there are a lot of things the provincial gov- ernment can move forward on,” he said. In terms of the 407 ex- tension, he said the Province could move for- ward with the environmental as- sessment. Mr. Anderson added he hopes if the Liberals prioritize they will see how the extension of the 407 in Durham would generate industrial and commercial growth not only in the region, but throughout the Greater Toronto Area. It could force the Liberals to delay some of the $5.9 billion in annual new spending they announced as part of their campaign if they intend to decrease the deficit left by the Conservatives. Election promises in- cluded hiring 8,000 nurses, ending the doctor shortage and invest- ments in education, including a hard cap on class sizes from junior kindergarten to Grade 3 of 20 stu- dents. Ed Hodgins, a manager with the Durham District School Board, said he expects the government will have to prioritize which promises can be followed through on first. Mr. Hodgins is superintendent of education responsible for business at the DDSB. “It is a little harder to add new things when you don’t have what you anticipated when you made those promises,” he said. “From an overall perspective, as an observer, it’s not as optimistic as we thought.” Durham may feel the pinch from provincial deficit What would $5.6 billion buy in Durham? * 440 secondary schools the size of Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School (10,269 square metres) in Courtice, which cost $12.7 million. * 200 sports and entertain- ment complexes at a cost of $28 each such as the one pro- posed for downtown Oshawa * * more than 1,000 commu- nity arenas at a cost of $5.25 million, such as the one just completed in Port Perry. * 56 courthouses at a cost of $100 million each, such as the one planned to be built in the region. * 1,333 municipal offices at a cost of $4.2 million each, such as the building being con- structed in Port Perry.

Roll up your sleeves Flu shots are free prevention against the agonies of a bout with the dreaded viruses of winter From the ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure file, take a few minutes over the next six weeks to get your free flu shot. It could save you a lot of pain and trouble and might also spare your loved ones an unpleasant bout with the flu. This is the fourth straight year the Province has covered the bill for the shots. It's our money well-spent since it dras- tically cuts down on emergency room visits and reduces lost time which, in the past, has hurt businesses and the economy. It's best to go as soon as you can since we're now in the heart of flu season. Free clinics kicked off Nov. 1. They are set up all over the region. There is also a clinic at the Whit- by Mall at Thickson Road and Hwy. 2 until Dec. 13. It's op- erational Monday to Thursday from noon to 7 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It's closed Sundays and Nov. 11. You can also arrange to get a flu shot from your doctor's office or your nearest medical clinic. For those concerned about the impact of the flu shot, here are the facts from the Ministry of Health: It takes 10 to 14 days before the vaccine can protect you from the flu so you could be vulnerable to getting sick within this time pe- riod. The vaccine has a 70- to 90-per-cent effectiveness rate for most people so it's not absolutely guaranteed you'll be influenza proof. Still, those who do get the flu after a shot tend to have much milder symptoms than those who don't. There are a few possible side effects but these are minor and rare. They include a bit of pain near the needle site, a bit of fatigue, muscle soreness or low fever for a day or two after the shot. It's a small price to pay compared to several weeks of suffering. For more information, call the health department at 1- 800-841-2729, ext. 2900. Don't delay, get your flu shot today. Community will be consulted on RVHS TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: RREE:: RROOUUGGEE VVAALLLLEEYY HHEEAALLTTHH SSYYSSTTEEMM:: During the current municipal election campaign, our Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering site (RVAP) has been getting a lot of media attention as our staff and management begin developing a comple- mentary site services plan to better serve the growing communities of east Toron- to and west Durham. At Rouge Valley, we strongly believe that despite the funding increases we have received over the years, we have a re- sponsibility, as stewards of the taxpayers' money, to continue to look for new and in- novative ways of delivering healthcare ser- vices. We believe this means working as a system between our two sites and con- firming partnerships with neighbouring hospitals and primary healthcare providers in the community. Unfortunately, an initial planning docu- ment shared with the board and medical leaders, has been used by some members of the community to incite fear amongst our staff, our physicians, our donors and the community. This has led them to be- lieve that any attempts at developing a complementary services model will lead to the wholesale closure of the RVAP site or at the very least the loss of major ser- vices. Attempts to clarify the situation both internally and externally have had some success but we realize more work needs to be done. Rouge Valley's commitment to serving the west Durham population is unques- tionable. With the support of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care and gener- ous donors we have been able to add new services and new equipment to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering site, including a dedicated child health unit, cardiac diag- nostics, a CT scanner, completely upgrad- ed x-ray equipment, a nuclear medicine clinic, inpatient rehabilitation services and a relocated and redesigned ambula- tory care unit. Most recently we undertook a 10-day renovation project in our existing emer- gency department at RVAP, which result- ed in the installation of four new cardiac monitors, a new six-bed isolation unit for the assessment and treatment of infec- tious diseases and a larger and more pri- vate triage and registration area. Durham Regional Council's pledge of $3.5 million forms part of the $47-million capital project that Rouge Valley, with the ministry's support, will be moving ahead with in the coming months at RVAP. This capital project includes a brand new and much larger emergency department, an expanded diagnostic imaging unit, addi- tional mental health services, complex continuing care, more rehabilitation ser- vices and new equipment. Our Foundation has been very active in their efforts to raise $34 million for these as well as additional projects at our Rouge Valley Centenary site through their "Vital Links" campaign. In fact, due to the un- wavering support of the community, over 70 per cent of the fund-raising goal has been pledged or received to date. The explosive growth in west Durham clearly shows that these types of invest- ments have to continue and we will move forward with our complementary services planning, taking into account the needs of the community and with the active partic- ipation of front line staff, physicians, pa- tients and their families and our health- care partners. Rouge Valley has a long history of in- volving the community in important deci- sions regarding the two sites and that will continue in the process.

It is time for this community to start taking notice of the erosion of services that is occur- ring at this site. In this era of 'financial responsibility' the consumers must be active in their own medical treatment and that of the community. If we continue to let other peo- ple make decisions unilaterally behind closed doors about what we as a community need, then we are in real trouble. I am a healthcare worker and deal, along with my co- workers, with the daily challenges of helping people recover their health, deal with chronic and deadly diseases, and, most importantly, to educate patients, families and anyone who will listen. But we are getting tired and frustrated as well as physically ill. We need help from everyone to make our hospital the ongoing effective full-service hospital that our community deserves. We all need to ask questions such as, "Where is the $17 million given for the new ER and how will it be used?" I truly hope this letter will get you to ask your politically-appointed members of all levels of govern- ment what is happening to health care in Ajax-Pickering and the surrounding areas? The board of directors is sup- posed to stand for the community and it is time for them to be fully accountable to the community and their actions. Please get involved in health care before it is too late. KKaatthhrryynn TToowwnnsseenndd--PPaaggee PPiicckkeerriinngg Letter to the Editor Vigilence key with hospital BByy CCrryyssttaall CCrriimmii Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — An 11-year-old Pickering g irl remains in serious condition after being viciously attacked by her grandmother’s dogs last weekend. Jynnie Kent almost lost her leg along with three pints of blood after she reportedly tried to break up a fight between two male Dogue de Bordeauxs, French mastiffs, while visiting her grandmother, Heather Laverdiere, in Goodwood on Sunday. Lisa Lipkin, media relations offi- cer for The Hospital for Sick Chil- dren in Toronto, was unable to dis- close information on further treat- ment Jynnie will need. “Given the nature of her injuries, she’s not coming out of the hospital tomorrow type of thing, it’s going to be a long recovery,” she added. Detective Constable Bruce Kelly of Durham Regional Police has been keeping in touch with Jynnie’s family and said she is recovering faster than expected and will keep her leg. “She’s out of ICU (intensive care unit), but still under constant obser- vation,” he said, and added Jynnie still requires more surgery. The two dogs that attacked her, ‘Traveller’ and ‘Warrior’ which weigh over 100 pounds each, were put in a 10-day quarantine Monday by the Durham Region Health Department and are being held at the Uxbridge Scugog Animal Shelter. Alex Connor, manager of environ- mental health for the Region, said it’s routine to quarantine an animal after a serious bite to make sure it doesn’t have rabies. “My inspector will be there at 5 p.m. Nov. 5, to check the dogs, make sure they’re healthy - no signs of ra- bies are showing, and they’ll sign off the release form,” said Mr. Connor. “Unless there’s some other activity going on, I’m assuming the dogs go back to the owner, but that’s not a decision we would have part in.” “There’s nothing I can say because the police are still investigating,” said Vickie McWhirter, animal con- trol officer. She said for now, staff are just watching them. Det. Const. Kelly said he would have a better idea Tuesday, day nine of quaran- tine, what will happen to the dogs. “Police and animal control are still investigating this incident to deter- mine if any further actions are to be taken,” he added. According to a police report, Ms. Laverdiere was breeding dogs in a backyard facility and seven other dogs are still there. Ms. Laverdiere, who according to Township officials is a tenant at the property, was ordered in early Octo- ber to have six of the nine dogs re- moved because Uxbridge bylaw only allows for three per property. Mr. Tindall has declined repeated requests for an interview. Ms. Laverdiere could not be reached for comment. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 31, 2003 PAGE 7 P Vans, trucks and commercial vehicles by estimate.

When he went to a haunted house, he knocked at the door but no one answered. When he opened the door he saw something run by him. After that he looked to both sides and saw nothing there. When he went in, the door closed by itself. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He was so scared. Then he heard a noise on the upstairs floor. He checked it out and saw ink but he didn’t realize it was really blood. So he checked a room that had toys and he saw a ball that rolled to him. He was so scared that he started to cry. He ran to a basement and ran inside a cage and locked it. He saw red foot- prints. Then he heard a noise that came from the top of the cage and it moved. He had a laser but he forgot the batter- ies. Suddenly the cage broke and as he left the cage he saw candles flying around the room. He was very scared and called 911 from his cell phone. But someone else answered that sounded like a wolf. The wolf was at the door so he tried hiding in the bathroom. The bathroom was just as scary as there was a head in the toilet and worms everywhere. Somehow when he ran out of the room he saw that the wolf was dead. Then he knew he was safe. The silver disk hovered above my backyard. I heard screaming and shouting by aliens with bloodshot eyes. Suddenly, I woke up in a cold sweat. This is the third time in a row that I have had this nightmare. My mom says that I have been watch- ing too many horror movies, but I think that this is a warning that danger will come to Cherryville. Since I was frightened of my dream, I went downstairs to have my breakfast. Right now I bet that you are wondering who I am, right? Well my name is Laura Beckerson and I’m 12 years old. My family and I live in Cherryville, Bumbleebag on 819 Nutcracker Cres., and I love horror movies, if you couldn’t tell. Anyway, my mom and dad came downstairs. “What are your doing down here?” my mom asked, “It’s only 7 a.m. and if that’s really you, you would be in bed drooling on your pillow right about now!” “Sorry mom, I had that nightmare again,” I said. My mom sighed and went into the kitchen. My dad followed. Later that day, my friend Sara Fishers called me to ask if I could come over for a sleepover because her parents were out. I hadn’t been to a sleepover in a long time so I begged my parents and they said yes! “I’ll be there at 4 o’clock,” I told Sara, “I’m glad, it’s only 3 right now.” Sara laughed, “Okay! See you later!” I hung up the phone and ran to pack my stuff. For one hour I was eagerly jumping up and down, waiting for 4 o’clock. Finally it was time! I grabbed my sleepover bag, yelled good-bye to my parents and ran out the door. As I ran along the pathway, I got a stitch in my chest and slowed down. Three minutes later I was ringing the Fisher’s doorbell. Sara opened the door and pulled me inside towards her room. When we got there, I dumped my stuff on the floor and we turned on the TV. Two hours later we ordered pizza and chat- ted while we ate. Then we went back upstairs to change into out pjs. “I’m tired” I said, “Lets go to bed now.” “OK,” Sara agreed. So we got into our sleeping bags. We were lying there for a minute, when I heard a noise. “Did you hear that?” I asked Sara. “Yeah. Maybe we should go check it out. It came from outside I think,” Sara said un- surely. We crept to the window and peered out at her backyard. Something was mov- ing. I gasped. “What?” Sara whispered. “There’s something moving out there,” I replied, “We have to go out there and find out what it is.” We tiptoed down the stairs slowly, got our flashlights, coats and shoes on and went outside to the backyard to investigate. “EEEEEKKKKK!!” Sara shrieked. “What is it?!” I hissed frantically, dropping my flash- light. “I tripped over the dumb garden hose,” Sara grumbled. I rolled my eyes and we continued to tiptoe around. I suddenly heard a rustling noise and I pulled out my flashlight in front of me, the light beam shining. Right in front of me I saw a smiling alien. “It’s friendly! We worried for nothing!!” I told Sara, relieved. We both stared at the alien. Then, five more smiling aliens stood beside it. All of a sudden just like my dream, they raised their hands. They all had sharp knives in them. Their eyes turned all bloodshot and smiles turned to frowns. “A AAAHHHH!!” We screamed at the tops of our lungs. The aliens started screaming and shouting and then they chased after us. As I was running, I tripped over the garden hose and an idea sprang into my head. “Sara!” I yelled, “Turn on the water and don’t ask why!” I grabbed the hose and aimed at the aliens. SPLASH!! The water hit the aliens and they started to melt away. Sara and I were really shook up, but we still fell asleep with the lights on. Our parents didn’t be- lieve us. They thought we made it up. But you and I know, that Sara and I defeated the aliens of Cher- ryville! It was a cold and rainy, old boring day and I had nothing to do. I was excited about Hal- loween but it was still two weeks away. All of a sudden I heard the phone ring. “Ring, ring, ring.” I wondered who it was so I an- swered it. It was my best friend Lee. “Hi,” I said. “Hi”, said Lee. “I’m so glad you phoned”, I said. “Well, I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to go check out that creepy man- sion on Dead-End Drive”. “Sure, meet me there on your bike.” When I got there I saw Lee’s bike parked beside a tree, but Lee was nowhere to be found. I was really scared to go in by myself but I really had to find out where he was. I walked toward the steps cautiously. I stopped. I could hear someone calling my name. “Samantha, Samantha”, the voice said. I thought, “He’s playing tricks on me, I better go in.” When I was carefully walking up the stairs I could hear them creaking. I finally got to the door. I could hear my name being called from the back of the man- sion. “Samantha, Samantha.” It didn’t sound like Lee. He just might be changing his voice or something, I thought. I held the doorknob and turned it slowly. I opened the door and could see a big staircase. I thought maybe I should check upstairs first. I took a step into the house and all of a sudden the door closed behind me. I thought maybe I should get out of here and go home. I turned around to open the door. I held the doorknob in one hand and pushed with the other but it wouldn’t budge. It was locked. That was not good. I looked around the house; it was huge. I walked toward the staircase. I could hear myself walking. “It is really creepy in here,” I thought. I heard my name being called again. “Samantha, Samantha.” OK, now I was really being freaked out. Still I wanted to see what was up- stairs. I started to walk up the staircase; I was going higher and higher until I made it to the top. I could still hear my name being called, “Samantha, Samantha”. It was getting louder. I could hear it coming from a room that said DO NOT ENTER! I knew I shouldn’t go in there but if I wanted to get my friend back I would have to. I walked over to the door and opened it, AAAAHHHH!! Instead of seeing Lee in there, I saw something else. A little girl! I walked up to her and asked her what she was doing here and said we should get out. The girl said, “No, this is my house. I’m a ghost. I’ve been dead for almost 100 years.” “Yeah-right, like I’m sup- posed to believe that,” I said. “No it’s true,” said the girl. “My name is Ann Clorise Fanny. I was born February 24, 1894 and died October 31, 1903.” “Well my name is Samantha. We have the same birthday. Nice to meet you,” I said rolling my eyes. “I know that already,” said Ann. “How did you know?” I asked. “I’m a ghost remember! I was the one calling your name.” “I still don’t believe you,” I said. All of a sudden we heard the door open and we saw Lee standing there. “Oh Lee, meet Ann. She says she’s a ghost,” I said to Lee. “Look she’s right be- hind me.” “I don’t see anyone,” said Lee. “Look she’s right...-there, she must have left. Wait a minute. She couldn’t have gotten out, we are right in front if the door. Maybe she is a ghost,” I said. “Naah,” said Lee. “Maybe she has a secret passage?” “Maybe”, I said. “A nyway my mom said that I have to go visit my grandfather’s grave today at 4 o’clock. Wanna come?” I asked. “Sure,” said Lee. “What time is it now?” I asked. “It’s 3:50,” said Lee. “Oh no I can’t be late. Come on!” We r an down the stairs to the door. “Oh yeah”, I said. “I forgot the door got locked when I came in.” We paced around thinking. “Ouch!” screamed Lee. “What?” I asked. “Something sharp poked into my shoe!” said Lee. “Let me see” I said. Lee showed me his foot. “It’s just a pin,” I said. “That gives me an idea! said Lee. “I learned this trick from my friend Eric. Yo u take a pin and put it into the lock part of the door and somehow it unlocks the door!” “Good,” I said. Lee put the pin in the door. The door opened. “Yes!!” We both screamed in excitement. “Lets hurry. We don’t want to be late,” I said. We both hopped on our bikes and started to peddle toward the graveyard. When we got there we put our bikes down and ran towards my Granddad’s grave. While I was praying, Lee noticed a grave beside my Granddad’s grave. It said Ann Clorise Fanny, born Feb. 24, 1894, died Oct. 31, 1903. “Hey Samantha, look!” said Lee. “Why” I said. “Just look!” said Lee. “Oh my gosh she really is a ghost!!” I said. HALLOWEEN INC.

A rainy spring and fall has set the opening of the New Pickering Mar- kets back three weeks because of construction delays. The 135,000 square-foot building at Bayly Street and Squires Beach Road will open Nov. 22 instead of Nov. 1, as originally hoped. “The vendors aren’t happy and we don’t blame them,” said Leo Doucet, general manager of Charterhall man- agement. “We aren’t happy with the delay. But not being happy and being able to do something about it, are two different things. “You can rail at the boss in the sky but that won’t give you five months of good weather.” Crews are working overtime at the site to make the markets ready to launch, said Mr. Doucet. This week, the building’s main signs will go up. “We’re 95 per cent leased,” he said, of the markets. “That part has gone extremely well for us. Everybody is most anxious to get rolling.” About 85 per cent of the building’s tenants are former Metro East Trade Centre vendors. The remaining 15 per cent are new vendors from all over the GTA, who come to the New Pick- ering Markets by word of mouth. The adjoining trade hall is also get- ting bookings for 2004. The venue is gaining interest from some of its for- mer clients at the Metro East Trade Centre. Watch for a home and garden show this winter, said Mr. Doucet. The New Pickering Markets opens Saturday, Nov. 22 at 9 a.m. A ribbon cutting will be held before the doors open at 8:30 a.m. to allow vendors to attend. An entire weekend of promo- tional activities is planned in celebra- tion, including an appearance by Wendel Clark on Saturday. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

Defibrillator training offered, Nov. 8 DDUURRHHAAMM — The process to widen Hwy. 401 through Whitby and Oshawa has begun. The Ministry of Trans- portation has announced it is undertaking a prelim- inary design study and en- vironmental assessment to widen the major trans- portation route from six to 10 lanes. The project af- fects a 4.5-kilometre sec- tion of the highway from Brock Street to Stevenson Road. However, public discus- sions are not scheduled until the winter of 2004. No specific dates have been confirmed. The firm McCormick Rankin Corp. is undertak- ing the study on behalf of the ministry. “We’re aiming to have (the public information sessions) in January or Fe bruary 2004,” says Mar- tin Scott, consultant pro- ject manager. “The plan is to have the report com- pleted by August.” He says the 4.5-km. stretch is part of a larger project to improve Hwy. 401 through Durham, in- cluding the Lakeridge Road area and east of Stevenson Road. The new provincial gov- ernment will ultimately have the say about when things get done, he says. “It’s up to them,” ex- plains Mr. Scott.

Candidates should have some knowledge and interest in non-prof- it organizations and board policies. Only applicants receiving an inter- view will be notified. Completed ap- plications must be received by Nov. 21.For an information package, call Dianne McKenzie, executive direc- tor at 905-666-9926. Directors needed for Epilepsy Durham durhamregion.com ernment is in power. Do you think the deal, which swaps provincially owned lands in Seaton for privately owned lands in Richmond Hill and Uxbridge, should be scrapped? DDDD: No. The real issue is the agricultural preserve to the west. Mr. Ryan’s plan is to de- velop within the preserve. My plan is to allow farming and farm related business only. Within the Seaton land area, council approved some 2,500 acres to accommodate approxi- mately 20,000 residents in 1999. These are the lands in the ‘swap’ discussions. But I say not without the monies to pay for new roads and other ser- vices. DDRR::The deal must be scrapped. Pickering’s growth must be responsible and not be dictated by political expedien- cy. Our growth management study will encourage responsi- ble growth while protecting en- vironmentally sensitive lands, cold water streams, water- sheds, and cultural and her- itage sites such as our historic hamlets. QQ::The new provincial govern- ment has pledged to provide two cents from every litre sold to municipalities for roadwork. Should this be used to help re- build other infrastructure? DDDD::At this juncture we need every dollar to upgrade and re- pair our existing roads and bridges. We need dollars to ur- banize Kingston Road and cre- ate a pedestrian friendly envi- ronment. It will be a number of years before we can consider other types of infrastructure projects but we ought to begin preparing such a list in the meantime. DDRR: Two cents per litre should be used to improve our trans- portation system within Picker- ing and across the region; in- cluding roads and transit. For example, expanded Ajax Pick- ering Transit Authority service linked into the TTC in Toronto and Markham bus service. QQ: What qualities do you pos- sess that would make you a good mayor for Pickering? DDDD::The ability to listen, com- municate, understand and act on the wishes of residents for the betterment of the commu- nity. The business skills that come from operating my own business here for 32 years, meeting a weekly payroll and still turning a profit. I will seek out corporate boardrooms and encourage those companies to locate here in Pickering. DDRR:I have the knowledge, cor- porate and political experience, energy, imagination and courage required in the Mayor’s office. Moreover, I have a repu- tation for integrity and the con- fidence of my council colleagues and provincial and federal part- ners. Mayoral candidates respond The News Advertiser asked the mayoral candidates five questions of community importance as we lead up to the November 10 municipal election. Here are their responses. QQuueessttiioonn::Rumours have been in f light about the possible closure of Rouge Valley, Ajax and Pickering hospital, even though hospital offi- cials say they remain committed to providing core services here. As the Rouge Valley System moves forward in re-examining its future service delivery, as mayor, what would you do to protect hospital services here? DDoouugg DDiicckkeerrssoonn::The Ajax-Picker- ing hospital must remain a fully in- teg rated service site able to handle the patient needs of our community. As mayor, I will quickly arrange a meeting with the new Minister of Health George Smitherman, to im- press upon him the needs and ex- pectations of our residents, who have contributed millions of dollars to expand our hospital. DDaavvee RRyyaann::We have invested mil- lions of local taxpayer dollars in the Rouge Valley, Ajax and Pickering hospital. I will ensure we protect and preserve existing services to our community. I have already request- ed the new Minister of Health to both investigate this unacceptable situation and commit to us our hos- pital is secure. QQ::Taxes are always a hot issue come election time. Some candi- dates pledge to hold the line on taxes here in Pickering, while others say it’s not possible anymore with- out cutting back on services, given inflation and other downloading pressures from the Province. What’s your position? DDDD::Zero per cent tax increases are possible. I delivered five between 1996 to 2000. It is achieved not by cutting services, but by operating like a business - ensuring core ser- vices are maintained and prioritiz- ing our expenditures. The last three years have produced property tax increases of 30 per cent while our surplus shrank from a $17-million to $13 .5-million debt. DDRR: We must live within our means. I will provide the services Pickering needs to support our quality of life while keeping our financial house in order. I will ensure we receive our fair share of funding from the New Deal promised by our federal and provincial partners. QQ::There’s been much speculation about the future of the Seaton land swap now that a new provincial gov- P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 31, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Antony’s Gallery would like to welcome GARETH LEWIS to their knowledgeable and creative staff.

BByy CCaarrllyy FFoosstteerr Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Perched on mini blue boxes in a chilly portable, the students shot their hands in the air, anxious to answer questions on what goes in their blue boxes. The Grade 2 and 3 students from Hampton Junior Public School, just north of Bow- manville, were starting a tour of Durham’s recycling centre, with the incessant beeping of reversing trucks bouncing off the walls. The students rhymed off tin cans, paper and cardboard. But they also learned about aerosol and paint cans and bottles, Tetra boxes and bottles with twist- off lids - the newest additions to Durham’s recycling roster. “This is really important be- cause they’ll remember this and bring it home to their par- ents,” said Peter Watson, man- ager of waste management for Durham. The centre holds year-round tours of its Ger- rard Road facility in north Whitby, but this week’s tours are especially important: Oct. 20 to 26 is Waste Reduction Week. Mixing education with safe- ty, the tour moves from a teaching portable, to a giant- scale sorting warehouse, then a truck dumping area and fi- nally back to the portable for a wrap-up. “We stress recycling all the time, and the school really en- courages garbage-less lunch- es,” said the kids’ teacher, Paul Martin, on his fourth tour of the facility. The boys especially like the recycling tour because of the machines and trucks, he added. Illustrating how the Region measures each truck delivery, the class clambered on top of a giant scale to be weighed, coming in around 2,480 lbs. Next stop was the sorting warehouse, where the ‘green monster’ - a giant baler that compacts cardboard into 772 to 1,102 lb. bales - and orga- nizes paper to be shipped to another facility. “Would you throw money in the garbage?” asked Bunny Lockett, the waste manage- ment technician who led the tour, pointing to trucks dump- ing cans and bottles in huge industrial bins. “These are valuable, they help us save money. Students get a Blue Box education Grade 3 students from Hampton sit on blue boxes and listen to waste management technician Bunny Lockett during a tour of the Durham recy- cling centre. A.J.

DDUURRHHAAMM —Touched by the hard work and success of Durham Re- gion council this term, Chairman Roger Anderson Wednesday pre- sented councillors and mayors with a plaque at their final meet- ing before the Nov. 10 election. “I’ve been somewhat fortunate this term to have a council that truly works together,” Mr. Ander- son said. The plaques read, ‘In recognition of your contribution to reg ional council 2000-2003.’ Gift bags were given to those not running for re-election, including Oshawa’s Clare Aker, Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt, newly-elect- ed Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Wayne Arthurs and former Os- hawa councillor Bob Boychyn, now a justice of the peace. Conservation authorities report The four Durham-area conser- vation authorities presented a 2003 progress report Wednesday to Durham Region council. The 26-page report included accom- plishments and plans in natural hazard and heritage mapping, watershed monitoring and plan- ning, flood forecasting, conserva- tion land management and infra- structure. The group is made up of the authorities from Kawartha, Ganaraska, Toronto, Central Lake Ontario, and Lake Simcoe. Slots for land? DDUURRHHAAMM - Slot machine rev- enue could be used for acquiring land, retiring Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt said Wednesday at his last Durham Region council meeting. Mayor Moffatt said the almost $1 million the region has received from the Port Perry Great Blue Heron Charity Casi- no’s slot machines in the past three years could be used to pur- chase land on the Oak Ridges Moraine. “We’ll be able to pre- serve and protect areas of the Oak Ridges Moraine that are re- ally going to need protection,” he said. Durham has not acquired land like the former Ontario County did, which is responsible for Durham Forest in Uxbridge. The forest used to be like a desert before the County reforested it. “There’s a (lot) more land across the Oak Ridges Moraine that is in the same kind of desperate straits,” Mayor Moffatt said.

The doorway is a reflection of your family and your lifestyle. It says “hello” to everyone passing the threshold. First impressions are hard to forget, so make the best first impression you can. Many people seldom use their front door to enter the house, so it is often overlooked as a place that needs improvement. Evaluate your entry. Stand across the street and look at the whole picture. Ask yourself: Does the entry fit the style of the house? Does it make a statement? Does it have style? Is it bright and cheerful? Does it reflect my personality? Walk up your driveway and sidewalk. Are they in good condition? Is there anything you can do to improve their appearance? Perhaps flowers planted along the sidewalk will accentuate the gentle curve to the door. Ta ke a good look at the steps. Are they in good repair? Are they littered with toys that could be tripped over? Safety should be the number one concern when it comes to stairs. If there are more than three steps, a secure handrail should be provided. Cement steps should not be crumbling. Wooden steps should not have loose boards. If you need to replace the stairs, consider using brick as an attractive alternative that will last for years. If your porch has a railing, make sure it is secure. Children love to climb and porches with railings are an attraction hard to resist. If the railing is wooden with a natural stain, run your hand over it and make sure there are no rough spots that could splinter. Painted railings should be touched up where the paint is cracked or peeling. Look at the condition of the surface of your porch. If you have a wooden plank porch, check routinely for protruding nails. If you have a concrete porch, make sure the surface is even. An uneven one could cause someone to trip or fall. Repair any broken patches by filling with concrete. Keep your porch free of debris like dead leaves and sticks. Clean away spider webs and insect carcasses. A well-furnished porch always calls attention to itself. Treat your porch as another indoor room. Furnish it with comfortable and sturdy pieces that fit the space. Your porch may be large enough to hold a sofa, but a settee is smaller and may be more appropriate, allowing room for other pieces like a table for casual dining or matching side chairs. Wicker is a traditional favorite, but any style will work. A rustic bench looks quaint for a country look. Search garage sales, flea markets and auctions for unusual pieces. Unify your space with color and lighting. Paint the floor in a checkerboard pattern to catch the eye. Add a rug for warmth or paint a decorative floor rug to accent a seating area. Wrought iron chairs can be painted any color to coordinate with your color scheme. For a soft mood, install a dimmer switch or add a lamp to a covered porch. For a special effect, install a small chandelier. Now that the basics are in place, bring in the details—accent pieces that will really show your person ality. Again auctions and flea markets are the best places to look. Perhaps a rusty metal plant stand could find new life with a paint job and a potted plant. Maybe a reproduction of a painting you’ve always admired would look lovely hanging by the door. Showcase colorful flowers or train a plant to climb up a column or post. Hang a sturdy piece of trellis to support climbing plants at one side of the porch, provide privacy and act as a wind block. Place groups of pinecones, bird nests and gourds as natural accent pieces. Have fun with decorative accents; use them to add whimsy and humor whenever possible. Remember the entryway is the first thing people will notice as they approach your home. It tells a story about the occupants inside. Make it welcoming and inviting. Put your best foot forward mobility™ the future is friendly® Now is the perfect time to move from Fido to TELUS.

According to John Bailey, product manager at Husqvarna, there are simple steps that you can take to keep your mower operating at maximum efficiency. • In a well-ventilated area, drain the fuel tank and run the engine until all fuel from the tank is gone. • While the engine is still warm, drain the crankcase oil and fill it with fresh oil. • Thoroughly inspect the moving parts of the mower for damage. Any bare metal parts should be covered with oil or rust preventive. • Remove the spark plug in your walk-behind mower and put a small amount of oil directly into the cylinder, turn engine over with the pull start and reinstall spark plug. • Clean dirt, grass and debris from engine, cutting deck and handle of mower. • For mowers operated by battery, remove the battery and fully charge before storing. • Store your mower and fuel can in a dry, ventilated area and never near a pilot light or heat source of any kind. Following these maintenance steps to prepare your mower for storage will help your mower perform better, last longer and be ready when your grass comes back in the spring.

The word was rolling through her head just past the halfway point of the inaugural Olympic women’s marathon at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles. It was a defining moment for Ms. Ruegger, who ended up finishing eighth in the race. Ms. Ruegger was one of a dozen successful Durham women recent- ly at the school educating students on women in the workforce for Women’s History Month. Students interviewed the women for a month-long project, which will cul- minate in a fair at the end of the month. The wealth of female knowledge was empowering: A funeral direc- tor, two police officers, a seam- stress, a retired nurse, a war bride, a veterinarian, a firefighter, a local councillor and more participating. “Take a moment to think about why these women couldn’t be in their roles 80 years ago,” said Wa- verly principal Cheryl Brown. Debbie Patrick, an engineer from the Bowmanville foundry, ex- plained why. “You find more women in manu- facturing now because of the ma- chinery,” she explained, gesturing to a video from the plant where cast-iron products like horseshoes are made. “Machines do all the heavy lifting now.” Across the gym, quilter Carol Gould said quilts were only ever made for their benefits: keeping warm. Now consumers pay for the colourful stitched blankets. “I’ve learned that women can do everything men can... in every field of jobs we have,” said Koty Stew- art, 13. He picked Glenda Benson, a funeral director, to interview for his project because of a recent death in the family. “Now I know what happened and how it was treated.” Ms. Ruegger’s motivational talk really moved Tyra Burgess, a 13- year-old cross-country runner and shot-putter. “I want to be just like her, to be as focused and courageous as she was at her age,” Tyra said of Ms. Ruegger, who at 15 set a goal to run in the Olympics. “She makes me want to be a better athlete.” L inus and Charlie Brown will have to visit Kelowna, B.C. this Hal- loween to find the Giant Pumpkin grown for the Composting Council of Canada’s (CCC) 2nd An- nual Great Pumpkin Growing Contest. This year the CCC is proud to announce that Beth Cavers, Organics Re- cycling Co-ordinator for the City of Kelowna won with an 185kg (408 lb) pumpkin. “We grew our prize-win- ning pumpkin in ‘Ogogrow’, the City of Kelowna’s premium-cured compost product,” said Beth Cavers. “Some of our local gardeners refer to it as ‘rocket fuel’ for their plants! We also watered our plant daily with soaker hoses coiled outwards from the planting hole and with all that Okanagan sunshine, it really thrived!” The $500 prize money will be donated to ‘The Central Okanagan Com- munity Gardens.’ Ms. Cavers will also receive a complimentary pass to the CCC’s annual conference to be held in Ottawa next year. The contest was devel- oped by the CCC to build awareness of the impor- tance of using compost to improve and nourish the soil and thereby deliver great gardening results. ••• This week our little lov- able pumpkins sit on porches and window ledges. Nature’s seasonal gift. Delicious. Locally grown. Naturally colourful. Fresh and healthy food. Not overpackaged. Researched as one of the earthworm’s favourite treats, the pumpkin is one of ours too and shouldn’t be discarded the moment the last little goblin has come to our door. Beneath that carved face lies a wealth of golden goodness. Seeds can be toasted, and beneath the shell it can be cubed and cooked to make soups, squares, muffins, loaves, spice cakes, casseroles, pies, breads, jams, used as a substitute for squash, and be includ- ed in those, now popular ‘smoothies.’ ••• Growers of pumpkins who have adopted the ‘Plant.A.Row - Grow.A.Row’ concept to seed an extra row of veg- etables for the food bank can feel good about giving away some of their pump- kins to those in need. The CCC is an avid promoter of this program. ••• People with backyard composters will put all that remains of their Jack O’Lanterns into their com- posters to reap the bene- fits in the spring. By next Halloween Durham Re- g ion should have in place its green bins for Ajax, Pickering, Whitby and Os- hawa. Green bins are now col- lecting organic kitchen scraps in our four rural municipalities. Also, Miller Waste Recycling on Squires Beach Road should have its compost- ing facility in full operation by next October so that we won’t be spooked if Michi- gan rejects pumpkins and other organics in its land- fill in the near future.

While some would say get to the back of the line, one Ajax bar owner has made it his per- sonal mission to help would- be stars of all types of music break into the business. "I've been deejaying since I was 12," relates Rob MacArthur. As well, he worked on the local talent contest 'Cradle to Grave' and at his bar, The Puck and Beaver, sees a lot of great am- ateur talent give it their all for karaoke singing. So he is fa- miliar with the dreams of those who wish they could just get a shot at making it big. "I've seen a lot of people singing in my bar that have more talent than the people you hear on the radio," he re- lates. "A lot of people just don't know how to get into the business." So, along with his wife, MacArthur decided to find out for them and created Spectrum Entertainment Productions with the goal of helping talented locals get their big break. "There's no guaranteeing you're going to be a star," he says, "but down the road they can say, 'hey, I've tried.'" And even if they never be- come a Shania Twain or Justin Timberlake, there are a lot of avenues in the music business talented people can pursue, says MacArthur. "They can do jingles and voiceovers. There are a lot of aspects of the business." MacArthur has put togeth- er a group of resources for in- dividuals to access through his company including dance instructors, photographers, an image consultant, record- ing studios and even financ- ing. "We usually start with three songs," he says, and do a re- lease on at least two songs. Then, it's hitting the phones and the Internet to radio sta- tions across the country look- ing for the air play that will get the artist heard. "We send packages, bios, set up a Web site. One guy, in three months has had 500 hits. If they get air play and get noticed that's when they can go to a record company." But even if that big deal never materializes, MacArthur said, for some, it's enough just to get the air play. "There's nothing like hearing yourself on the radio for the first time."

Art happenings around Durham P PAGE 24 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 31, 2003 www.durhamregion.com SSppoorrttss FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ AL RIVETT, SPORTS EDITOR 905-683-5110 EXT. 250 Aeros fly Telus Lightning struck by Toronto See page 25 St. Mary grad suffers injury in provincial final; hopes she can recover in time for nationals BByy PPaauull FFuutthheeyy Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ——The women's soccer team at Durham College is known for its lethal offence but these days it's not the only tall order for the Lords' opponents. While Durham scored 54 goals in running up an impressive 8-0 record in league play, just two goals were scored on the Lords this season. The team's last line of defence, Ashley Visser, is en- joying being a part of such stingi- ness. The 19-year-old graduate from St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering is a freshman in the college's police program and the Lords' starting goalkeep- er. She has been able to step in and deliver the consistent per- formances head coach Vaso Vu- janovic and his staff have been seeking. "She doesn't hesitate, which is very important for a goalkeeper," says Vujanovic. While shutouts and a low goals-against average in soccer are often a reflection of overall team defence, Vujanovic is quick to point out being a successful goalkeeper in soccer involves more than simply stopping shots. The only player on the field who has the advantage of having to look forward, the keep- er is relied upon to be an extra set of eyes for her teammates. Visser's ability to play the role of a field general has had a notice- able calming effect on her team- mates, he says. "The defence is more confi- dent," says Vujanovic, who gives credit to assistant coach Matt Gurr for bringing Visser along during the short season. Vujanovic's trust in his goal- keeper gives him more options for game strategy. For example, he is often able to move one of his four defenders up and play more like a midfielder because he knows Visser's mobility and fear- lessness are able to compensate. Another advantage is she is significantly taller than her re- cent predecessors in the Lords' goal. Her height (she's almost six feet tall) not only discourages shooters from trying to chip the ball over the keeper but also comes in handy simply because most shots sail off the ground: tasks better suited to a taller goalie. Visser led the Lords to the championship final at the provincial college championship of soccer at Frank Clair Stadium in Ottawa. She was, however, un- able to play in the final game against host and defending champion Algonquin College. She suffered a knee injury in the warm-up minutes before the f inal. Jessica Nelson replaced Visser in net. Durham College went on to capture their second- ever provincial title with a 2-1 win over Algonquin. As Ontario champions, the Lords now embark on a trip to Coquitlam, B.C., for a bid at a Canadian championship Nov. 5 to 8. It's not the first injury Visser has had to overcome this season. Previously, she suffered a bruised collarbone - courtesy of a sliding forward's cleat - during the season-opening 2-1 win over Algonquin. While the injury kept her out of the following game, Visser returned to post five straight shutouts before a 2-1 win over Fleming. Before Fleming managed a goal, the last time a ball had crossed the goal line with Visser in net happened dur- ing an exhibition game in early September against Humber Col- lege. Visser points to the entire team's performance rather than that of one player as the reason. "The rest of my team is phe- nomenal," she says. "If I get a shutout, the whole team gets a shutout." Visser’s injury is currently being evaluated and it’s hopeful she’ll be back in net for Durham College at the national showcase. The Lords, opening against the defending national champions, College FX Garneau from Que- bec on Nov. 6, are also in a divi- sion with the host squad. NNOOTTEESS:: Durham College's AAbbbbiiee VViisssseerr was named to the provin- cial tournament all-star team. Visser is the younger sister of goalkeeper AAsshhlleeyy... Spend a spooky Halloween with the Panthers PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----Monster, chiller, horror hockey? The horror, hopefully, won't be on the ice, but in the stands at the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers' clash with the St. Michael's Buzzers at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Halloween night (Friday) at 7:30 p.m. All kids are urged to wear their Halloween costume to the game be- cause, if you do, you'll get into the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior 'A' Hockey League contest free of charge. The Panthers also play on home ice Sunday night where they host the Couchiching Terriers at 7:30 p.m. The complex is at 1867 Valley Farm Rd. ••• The Panthers recently turned over a cheque for $823 to Canadian Cancer Society representative Bill Morrison. The money was raised through a charity car wash at Boyer Pontiac earlier this month, with the team's players pitching in to make the event a success. Boyer Pontiac-Buick-GMC pro- vided the facilities and all the materi- als on that day.

The Dolphins will host a pep rally at Kinsmen Park in Pickering this Saturday, Nov. 1, beginning at 5 p.m. The rally should to give the Dol- phins tyke, atom and pee- wee a mental boost as they head into the post season. All three teams finished off an incredible regular-season run, fin- ishing first in their respective Cen- tral Ontario Minor Football League divisions; the tykes and atoms ended the regular season with undefeated records. There will be a free barbeque for the players, and a cash barbecue for family and friends at a nominal fee. All three teams received a bye through the playoff quarter-finals, which start this weekend. The semi-final playoff games will be played at Kinsmen Park, Sunday, Nov. 9, starting with the tyke game at 9:30 a.m., the atoms at 11:30 a.m. and the peewees at 1:30 p.m. Kinsmen Park is on Sandy Beach Road, south of Bayly Street, be- tween Liverpool and Brock roads.

Groen/ News Advertiser photo Finishing kick PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– Lauren Sayers of Fairport Beach Public School has the finish line in her sights at the recent Durham Elementary Athletic Association (DEAA) Cross-Country Championships at Lakeridge Ski Resort. Lauren finished sec- oind out of 118 runners in her division. Telus salvages pride in close loss to Aeros DDUURRHHAAMM ——The Telus Light- ning proved to themselves that they might be down, but they're never out of a hockey game this year. Case in point: A back-to- back, home-and-home series against perennial National Women's Hockey League pow- erhouse Toronto Aeros earlier this week. Coming off a weekend tour- nament in Toronto, the Telus L ightning provided an easy mark for the Aeros at the York Ice Gardens last Monday night. The result was a predictable 12- 0 loss. Rather than hanging their heads, however, the Telus Lightning got off the mat and went right back to work the next night against the Aeros, this time at the Ajax Communi- ty Centre. On Tuesday, the Telus battled hard, eventually losing 3-0, but gaining a mea- sure of respect in the process. "I think it really was a matter of getting back on the horse and seeing what they could do," says Telus head coach Peter Perram of his team's resiliency. "Our defence was amazing. We adjusted our system a bit on Tuesday and it seemed to fit well with our 'D.' We clogged up the middle a bit and kept them to the outside. In the first two periods they only had six red- zone shots (from the front of the net). We mainly kept their shots to the outside. When we do that, our goaltender can keep them out of the net." Tuesday's game was close throughout, with the Aeros' Jessica Tabb scoring what would be the eventual game winner at the midway mark of the first period. The score re- mained 1-0 through a scoreless second period. Toronto would add two insurance markers in the third. Last weekend, the Telus did double duty on the rink, play- ing in the Marion Hilliard Tour- nament at the University of To r onto, as well as suiting up for a league contest against the Quebec Avalanche at the Ajax Community Centre last Satur- day. The Lightning (2-7-0-0 for four points, third in Central Di- vision) earned their second league victory of the season with a 5-3 win over the Avalanche, based in Montreal. "The result was never in doubt," says Perram. "We domi- nated from start to finish." Telus led the Avalanche from start to finish, breaking out in front 3-1 in a dominating first period. Telus continued to play well through 40 minutes, lead- ing 4-1. In the third, Quebec outscored the Lightning 2-1, but the outcome was well in hand for Telus. Jennifer Scott, newcomer Sarah Reid, Jennifer Kearney, Melanie Roach and Mandy Cole scored for the Lightning. Ash- ley Riggs, Cole, Andrea Babony, Roach, Brenda Reynolds, Nikki Leone and Reid drew assists. Jennifer Piitz earned the win in net, making 26 saves. At the University of Toronto tourney, the Telus Lightning recorded two ties in the event involving the U of T's varsity women's hockey team, and the Oakville Ice of the NWHL. Telus tied U of T 3-3 and also played to a 3-3 draw with Oakville. LLIIGGHHTTNNIINNGG BBOOLLTTSS::The Light- ning have added forward and Oakville resident SSaarraahh RReeiidd to the line-up. Former Telus play- er, AAnnddrreeaa BBaabboonnyy, has joined the club on a try-out basis. She played with the Lightning two seasons ago.

Hope to see you there!” Our trip to the Knox Pumpkin Farm for my annual Pumpkin Patch event on Oct. 18th, was made a success thanks to all of you who came out. I was so proud to see Mitch, Donna’s little guy. The firs t year he came was when he was only 2. I remember that we stopped my school bus at McDonald’s at Townline on the way to the Patch because we had to have a pit stop. He is growing up to be a sweet, polite, l ittle boy. Thanks for coming, Mitch. Sisters and mothers, grandmothers and dads. All of the kids who played in the Boo Barn and got pony rides, it was fantastic to see them.. a few inches taller than last year’s event. I have seen many o f your families grow from one generation to the next and have been proud to be welcomed into your homes as I have helped you to sell or choose new homes. It has honestly been a pleasure to get to know you on s uch a personal level and I am proud that I can get you together, in this little way, to show you my appreciation. This is not just a business to me, but it is a way to help people to achieve their dreams by finding homes that give them the lifestyle that they deserve. I really care and try to take care of my clients and my integrity is my strength; this is what drives me to do my best for the sons and daughters and even t he grandchildren of some of my first clients from the early 80’s. As I expand my business, I promise th at this will always be what drives me.
