The fates of French mastiffs Warrior and Traveller were sealed Wednesday when their tearful owner Heather Laverdiere, grandmother of vic- tim Jynnie Kent, consented to an application under the Dog Owners Liability Act to have them put down. “There’s nothing to think about.

The two-year plan will set out which municipalities receive new schools and additions to existing ones in 2005 and 2006. The board approved a three-year plan for 2002-2004 almost two years ago that was budgeted at $89.5 mil- lion. It initially expected to issue $66 million in debentures to finance it, but ended up approving $70 million. The new plan is already in the works, though the planning is all oc- curring behind-the-scenes. Board staff is crunching student numbers and assessing school needs in order to make project recommen- dations. Trustees will ultimately de- cide which projects are approved. “We’re very hopeful to bring a staff recommendation with regards to the two years... early into the new year,” Jack Massie, the board’s facilities services superintendent, said at the Nov. 3 standing committee meeting. That report will be a draft and will be presented in a closed-door meet- ing to the trustees, he said. He said the draft report might go back and forth between trustees and staff two or three times before a final draft is made public. Mr. Massie, in an interview, said there will “definitely be less pro- jects” and less money available for the 2005-2006 plan compared to the one for 2002-2004. Student enrolment drives provin- cial funding to boards and he says the board’s student numbers have fallen, in part due to the elimination of the OAC year of high school. Mr. Massie would not say how many projects are in the plan so far. School communities are already vying to be included, and there’s still some unfinished business from the last plan. The board has not yet purchased a site for McCaskill’s Mills Public School in Cannington, and it doesn’t have a place for Whit- by’s new elementary school. Howev- er Mr. Massie in an interview said those holdovers are distinct from the next plan. “It’s separate from that, basical- ly...but I guess we have to review (the Brock and Whitby situations) if nothing comes of it by the end of this year,” he said. Some projects were included on the first or second draft of the three- www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 7, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P pickeringtowncentre.com Santa arrives on Saturday, November 15th at 1:30pm Santa’s Castle - Centre Court Come share your holiday wishes with the man in red.

Mr. Massie suggested they have no edge in the com- ing two-year plan. “Naturally, if they were identified as a need before they would still be identified,” he said, adding that in the in- terim needs at other schools may have become more pressing. The board will seek community input before fi- nalizing the plan. “There will be public meet- ings and we will include the communities that are affect- ed,” said Mr. Massie. He said late January or February is when the staff recommendation should be made public, adding that time frame could “come off the rails” due to the will of a new board of trustees, ad- ministrative council or even the new provincial govern- ment.

The Education Quality & Ac- countability Office, the education ministry’s standardized testing agency, on Thursday released provincial results of the reading, writing and math assessments On- tario students wrote last spring. In January, the EQAO is slated to release school board and individual school results. Fifty per cent of Ontario Grade 3 students met or surpassed the provincial standard of a Level 3, or ‘B’, in the reading category. That matched last year’s figure, as did the 55 per cent in writing. The per- centage of students who met or ex- ceeded the standard on the math component was down one per cent over last year to 57. The Grade 6 percentages in read- ing and writing were up one point from the last assessment, at 56 and 54 per cent, respectively. Fifty-three per cent of Grade 6 math students met or did better than the provin- cial standard, one point lower than on last year’s results. School boards and individual schools analyze the test results and form action plans to try and im- prove on them. Marg uerite Jackson, the EQAO’s CEO, in a press release said “there are good examples across Ontario of schools showing marked and steady improvement.” The Grade 3 assessment began in the 1997/98 school year and the Grade 6 test the following year under the former Progressive Con- servative government. Since that time, the results in general have slowly crept upward. On the first Grade 3 test, the per- centage of students who met the standard in reading, writing and math was 46, 49 and 43, respective- ly. The first Grade 6 results were 48 in both reading and writing, and 46 in math.

He works hard for the little guy, but doesn’t ignore the big picture. A regional waste forum and aboriginal burial rights in Seaton are just some of the good causes he has brought to the table recently. He’s also a mover and shaker at the Region particularly on health and social services issues and waste management. He championed the smoking by-law and has worked to protect rural Durham’s environmental welfare.” *As reported June 20/2003 News Advertiser Maurice Brenner Shows No Sign Of Burn Out Feature Story Maurice Brenner Thanks to the efforts of Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, we have a temporary sidewalk that connects Finch to our community north on Whites Road. It took little more than an email to get him mobilizing City and Regional Staff, conducting the surveys, issuing the RFP’s, and getting a temporary solution in place so that we had a way to connect our area safely to other urban communities. Nicole Scarlett Pickering Accessibility Produces Action As School and Community Council Chairperson for the past 7 years and a 17 year community member, I have called on Maurice Brenner several times for various community issues. Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner is always of assistance and gets back to me right away. He is a concerned community member who honestly cares about others. He is not afraid of hard work and does whatever it takes to accomplish the goal. Whether its expanding a school parking lot or forming a Community Working group to deal with developing a method to notify the community of high risk sexual offenders, Maurice works with the community to get public input on issues, sets goals with the community and together we accomplish them. Mr. Brenner is very hard working and trustworthy. He is a natural leader. Heather Pugh SCC Chairperson Fairport Community Ward 1 Responding to community needs is a priority for Brenner Thanks to Maurice Brenner who facilitated a Community Meeting we conducted a Community Safety Audit. By working with community members police and City Staff, we all participated in a process making our neighborhood safer and cleaner. We all deserve a huge pat on the back, including Maurice Brenner . Thanks for helping to make our community a safer place to live. Amy and Brad Lathrop Dyson Brenner believes that neighbourhood safety can be achieved by working together Being an effective leader is knowing how to deal in crisis situations, Ward One Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner has demonstrated his experience has enabled him to effectively assist our Community when in crisis. In 2003 Brenner’s take charge approach helped Pickering residents deal with the ‘’Power Blackout of 2003” the “Hydro One Oil Spill” and the recent Emergency Nuclear Evacuation Training Exercise. Brenner knows how to respond in a crisis The Pickering Squash Club is one of many sport programs struggling with increasing demands for membership and ov er used facilities. By working with Maurice Brenner and Council we have developed a proposal that will allow for an expansion of our program through a partnership agreement that reduces the impact on the local tax payer and involves the sport user in raising dollars to off set capital costs. In the near future the Pickering Recreation Complex will undergo a further expansion that will not only provide us with additional space but will benefit other users of the Complex. This approach already saw the expansion of the Don Beer Arena and will ensure other Sport Groups such as Pickering Soccer, Baseball, Pickering Dolphins, Pickering Aerials who are struggling get badly needed facilities throughout the City. Ian Parsons, President, Pickering Squash Club Brenner builds partnerships that will address the growing needs for sports and the arts in Pickering Maurice Brenner has become a brother to me and the aboriginal community. His courage to speak out and work to protect the heritage and burial sites of the First Nations will change history for future generations. His courage has been recognized by my brothers across North America. I was proud to present him with the Eagle Feather one of highest honours that can be given. David Grey Eagle Brenner Respects Pickering’s Rich Heritage Congratulations are indeed in order for the Amberlea Rolling to Reduce Project!! Well done!! Thanks to the hard work of Maurice Brenner and his ability to work with Community and its partners, Pickering and all of Durham will benefit from what was learnt. Already we have seen an expanded Recycling program with plans in place for collection of Kitchen Organics in 2004. Councillor Maurice Brenner’s work with us has once again proven Pickering is part of the solution not the problem when it comes to “waste” Gail Lawlor Rougemount South Ward One Brenner represents the community when you need him Maurice Brenner will stand up for what you believe in despite the odds. This meant a lot to me, especially, given the fact that his comments were not based on future votes, but in fact, stemmed from his true beliefs. I live in Ward 3 and it did not matter to him that me nor my neighbours could not vote for him. Thank you for being so genuine. Ward 1 is truly fortunate to have such a strong, professional leader representing them, advocating not just on their behalf but for all of us. Nancy Listro, Ward 3 60% Waste Diversion City Wide in 2004 It is nice to know that there are caring people out there like Maurice Brenner representing Pickering. Because of him, my life will move into a new beginning, but most of all my five childrens’. When my children came home from school they I learnt that Maurice had found us a place to build a new start, no words could express the smiles that appeared on their faces when I told them we had a house to move into. I hope that he continues to represent Pickering as Ward 1 Regional Councillor. He cares about people and children who are in desperate situations. Thanks to his help in assisting myself and my children in our desperate situation it has made the world of difference in our lives!

It needs to tell the community why 146 people face the pos- sibility of being infected with HIV and hepatitis because medical equipment may not have been disinfected properly. These unsuspecting patients put their blind faith in the medical professionals and the equipment at the Oshawa hospital when they went in for routine scoping procedures. Lakeridge admits the cleaning machine failed to disinfect the equipment. That it took four days for the problem to be discovered is troubling: why did it take so long? Why, why, why? That's what the 146 patients are asking today. They won't be alone. There is already a class action lawsuit aimed at Lakeridge in the works. A full-scale investigation by the Ministry of Health is war- ranted in this case. If this happened at Lakeridge it could happen elsewhere in Ontario. Does the hospital, and others in Ontario, need to change the manner in which the scopes are disinfected? Unfortunately, the public will receive little information from an internal investigation that could answer many of these questions. Noting that the LHC is now the subject of legal action, the hospital announced Wednesday it would no longer comment publicly on the incident. How frustrating for the public. Without the reassurances of safety that might have been forthcoming with the internal investigation, the public can now only hope this is not a wide-ranging problem. These procedures, though often life-saving and invaluable to physicians, are too often put off due to fear of the un- known by patients who would benefit from them. This week's debacle at Lakeridge Health Oshawa only compounds the problem. Lives have been changed forever and there is no amount of money that will erase that. People may win a big lawsuit against the corporation, but for those faced with a year of testing for, and living in fear of, HIV and hepatitis, this is lit- tle comfort. The people of Durham expect more and deserve more from the hospital. Lakeridge failed the people of Durham, horribly, and it will take open, honest answers and solutions to regain the trust. We urge Lakeridge Health Cor- poration to find a way to be up front with the public, to re- veal the results of their internal investigation and their plan to assure this doesn't happen again. This is one wound that should not be left to fester.

The standing ovation she re- ceived could only be rivalled by the ovation for Doug Gilmour last Satur- day at the ACC. MaryLynn possesses so many gifts and talents, and has cho- sen to share them with this region for so many years. She has contributed much to our community by forging strong partnerships and relationships, and the fruits of her labours are obvi- ous. She will be truly missed (but never forgotten) as she makes her way to become President of Mohawk Col- lege. DDaarrrreellll SSeewweellll,, AAjjaaxx Trustees should attend regularly TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'Trustee Truancy a Concern' Oct. 22 After reading the article, I was en- raged to learn that a school board trustee can miss 25 per cent of the meet- ings and still keep his or her job. It's no wonder the education system is not im- proving when some of the people run- ning it only attend 75 per cent of the meetings. Three quarters effort is not ac- ceptable anywhere in life. It's like cook- ing a turkey and not eating it or wrap- ping a gift but not giving it to anybody. So why can school board trustees keep their job with only 75 per cent atten- dance? The only thing more disturbing than trustees playing 'hooky' around meetings is the fact that they are forced to debate internal issues on taxpayer time and money. These publicly elected officials should have the intelligence and motivation to do their job rather then have the government force them to. Congratulations and thank you to the hardworking trustees who actually care. On a lighter note, the kids in high school who skip 25 per cent of their classes do wind up getting good jobs... with the school board! TT..AA.. RRoowwee,, PPiicckkeerriinngg Overcrowding impact students’ studies TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: There should be a maximum of 22 students in a regular classroom. As a Grade 10 student in Pickering I have at least 26 to 33 students in every class I've ever had. It gets crowded and sometimes there are not enough text- books for each student. At times we have to share, which is OK, but it gets difficult when you have to do work by yourself or you have to take the book home to do work. There are so many students that they must go up to the teacher one by one for help. Other times school trips cannot be run be- cause the class is too big. Teachers must keep track of each student to see if they are there since they are respon- sible for each student. A class size af- fects the students, teachers and the schools. Therefore, I think the maxi- mum number of students in a class- room should be 22 students per class.

During the cooler weather the composting cycle slows down and your compost unit will fill to the top. Be- fore the frost, lift off the unit from the rotting compost and set it, either beside the compost pile, or in a more suitable place for winter accessi- bility. After adding a few handfuls of leaves as a base in your now empty unit, you are able to begin composting during the cold weather. Make a mound from the partially decomposed materials that you have just exposed and add lots of autumn leaves. Top with even more leaves and cover with a tarp or a piece of plastic weighted down with a few bricks. This pile will be ready for use in your garden by the spring. Also, come April, your composter will undoubtedly be full but come the first warm week, the volume will de- crease by half allowing you to compost all sum- mer and into next fall. For leaf pick up, brown bag ‘em for better diges- tion! Plastic causes prob- lems at the composting facility.

History comes alive at the cemetery DDUURRHHAAMM — A program is being offered for small busi- nesses interested in making their workplaces safer. Safe Communities of Pick- ering/Ajax (SCOPA) and the Wo r kplace Safety and Insur- ance Board (WSIB) are teaming up to offer the Safe Communities Incentive Pro- gram (SCIP). Entrepreneurs must regis- ter by Nov. 15 for the pro- gram, which will run in early March with several dates for participants to choose from. The WSIB has increased the rewards for businesses taking part in SCIP, includ- ing a five per cent rebate on WSIB premiums. SCIP re- quires the completion of a 12- hour health and safety train- ing program. The training consists of a five-step management model. Businesses will learn how to manage a health and safety program to improve performance, implement a return to work program and reduce costs from injury, ill- ness and property losses. SCIP is open to businesses, which are registered as Schedule 1 firms contribut- ing to the WSIB insurance fund; pay up to $90,000 per year in WSIB premiums; and willing to have the owner or senior manager take part in the training. The program cost is $150, payable to SCOPA. Space is limited to 45 businesses in Pickering and Ajax. A registration form can be obtained by emailing a re- quest for the SCIP applica- tion form to coordina- torSCOPA@hotmail.com, or by faxing it to SCOPA/SCIP program at 905-725-8103.

It’s the fact someone would steal a jar full of donations being collected for an 11-year-old girl recently mauled by dogs. “I know the intent wasn’t to rob her, but it’s (for) a cute little girl,” said the co-owner of the Big M Drive- In on Liverpool Road. Mr. Purdie arrived at the grill house Wednesday at 8 a.m. to find a window smashed and both the jar and a poppy box missing from the counter. Thieves took whatever fast cash they could get their hands on, he said, even taking the restaurants’ first toonie, which had been taped to the cash register. He figures there must have been at least $300 in the jar for Jynnie Kent. “There were a lot of fives and tens in it. A lot of people would give the change from their orders,” Mr. Pur- die said. Staff at the Big M have been fol- lowing the story of the Pickering girl closely since she was mauled by sev- eral dogs at her grandmother’s house in Uxbridge last week. Articles on her recovery at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto are posted up regularly on the restaurant’s counter. “The girls (behind the counter) know her well,” said Mr. Purdie, ex- plaining the youngster often came into the restaurant with her dad and sister. “When they read about (the at- tack) in the paper, they were in tears. It was their idea to put out the jar and people were loving it,” he said. Usually, the jar was taken down from the counter at night, but Tues- day night, it was accidentally left out, Mr. Purdie said. The Big M has been a Pickering staple for 40 years, first from the west side of Liverpool Road and then moving directly across the street two years ago. Mr. Purdie said he and his partner Chris Pap- atheoudorou, the son of the original owner Ted Papatheoudorou, have tried to be good citizens in the com- munity. But Tuesday night’s break-in was its third in two years. Now, the own- ers are rethinking putting out a re- placement jar and changing its poli- cy of hanging up community flyers at the restaurant. There were also plans to expand the Big M’s cruise nights to include motorcycles next year, said Mr. Pur- die. He’s not so sure now. “Maybe in a couple weeks I’ll feel differently,” Mr. Purdie said. “I don’t care about the windows. It’s the fact that we tried to do something nice and this happens. It just really both- ers me.” P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 7, 2003 www.durhamregion.com www.durhamcollege.ca Thursday, November 13, 2003 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. Whitby Campus, 1610 Champlain Avenue skilledtrades@durhamc.on.ca 905-721-3300 PRIZES DEMONSTRATIONS CUSTOM MOTORCYCLES CORVETTE SHOW •Automotive Technician— Service & Management •Electrical Technician— Instrumentation and Control •Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning •Management & Computer Training •Gas Technician 2 •Mechanical Technician - Industrial & Control - Tool & Die/CNC •Network Administration Specialist •Firefighter Education— Pre-Service & Training Program •Power Engineering Technician •Paramedic—Primary Care Meet the students, faculty and tour the campus to learn all about the following programs FORMER GRADUATES WELCOME COLLEGE 10th Anniversary Open House Durham College Skills Training Centre 1.5 % OFF UP TO Our Posted 5-year Rate Christmas Wonderland SHOW & SALE WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 12 5:00 PM - 10:00 PM CLASS ACT BANQUET HALL, WHITBY 104 Consumers Rd.

The girl was visiting her g randmother’s Good- wood residence on Hwy. 47 on Oct. 26 when she was savagely mauled after entering an enclosed pen where Mrs. Laverdiere housed nine dogs, which she owns for breeding. Ms. Bishop said the Dogue De Bordeaux is known as an “unusual and rare breed... very pro- tective as well as power- ful.” The Township is also seeking a further order to have three other dogs be- lieved to have taken part in Jynnie’s attack de- stroyed. Mrs. Laverdiere, who appeared at the hearing with her husband Denis without legal representa- tion, would not consent to putting down Demona, Ulkla and Talon, suggest- ing they weren’t involved in Jynnie’s mauling. JP Brown ordered the three dogs be held at the Scugog Uxbridge Animal Shelter for public protec- tion until a hearing is held to determine their fate. The matter is to be ad- dressed Nov. 21. Jynnie underwent eight hours of emergency surgery following the at- tack and will need numer- ous more operations in- cluding skin grafts, and therapy. She remains in Sick Children’s Hospital in Toronto, listed in sta- ble condition. Meanwhile, Mrs. Laverdiere, 53, faces charges of obstruct police and attempting to ob- struct justice for allegedly coaching her grand- daughter to tell investiga- tors that she was at- tacked while attempting to break up a dog fight. She was released Mon- day on a police undertak- ing with terms not to pos- sess dogs, and is sched- uled to appear in court Dec. 22 on the charges. Mrs. Laverdiere and her husband are also charged under Uxbridge bylaws with illegally operating a kennel, having more than three dogs and failing to register and licence the dogs. Those charges will be addressed Nov 21. Ms. Bishop said the couple recently applied to the Township for a kennel licence, but was turned down for not having prop- er fencing and insurance. A visibly distraught Mrs. Laverdiere refused media interviews and made her way to her car with a police escort fol- lowing the hearing.

When it comes to giving to others, John Wiersma believes in giving it his all. The president and chief executive officer of the Ve ridian Corporation re- cently found himself on the receiving end, picking up the Pickering Rotary Community Leadership Award. It recognizes peoples or groups, who reflect the Rotary Club motto ‘Ser- vice Above Self’, explains Jim Swan, one of the club’s directors. “There’s a certain rever- ence just in talking about the guy,” said Mr. Swan, who had never met Mr. Wiersma but had the job of soliciting thoughts and opinions about him. Born in the Nether- lands, Mr. Wiersma came to Canada with his family when he was 11. He grew up in Hamilton, where he studied electrical engi- neering at McMaster Uni- versity. His first job was with Hamilton Hydro as a distribution system engi- neer. From there, Mr. Wiers- ma took a management position with the Streetsville Public Utility, now part of Mississauga Hydro, where he worked with the legendary Hazel McCallion. “She taught me a lot of things about operating in the public environment,” Mr. Wiersma said. He took those lessons to Wasaga Beach, where Mr. Wiersma worked for the utility there for four years before being hired by Pick- ering Town Council in 1979 to set up its new munici- pal utility. “Back then Pickering had little more than 30,000 people. It was a much smaller place,” he said. “I was Pickering Hydro’s first employee. We didn’t have any offices. We start- ed with a rented space and I remember (Ajax Councillor) Joe Dickson helping me with office equipment.” In 1999, Pickering Hydro became the Veridian Cor- poration, which distrib- utes electricity to Picker- ing, Ajax, Clarington, Uxbridge, Brock, Belleville and Port Hope. It employs 15 0 people and generates annual revenues of $200 million. Diana Hills-Milli- gan, who has worked with Mr. Wiersma for the last 20 years as his executive assistant, said his man- agement style at Veridian has always been one of an open door policy. “J ohn cares a lot about his employees. If some- thing happens with an employee, whether it’s a funeral or something, he’s always there,” she said. “He leads us by example. He’s very honest and very caring. “He can relate to anyone in the organization, from the lineman to the recep- tionist, to the president.” A former industry chair on the local United Way campaign cabinet, Mr. Wiersma inspired his own staff to get involved by participating in fund-rais- ing stunts himself. One campaign saw the presi- dent and CEO put his head on the block for $500 for the United Way. Others have also called him the driving force be- hind the construction of the Carruthers Creek Church in Ajax. But Mr. Wiersma is quick to point out he only chaired the building committee. It was the work of the entire con- gregation, which raised $4.3 million over three years to see the church and 800-seat auditorium built. “Like a lot of things in my life, there were a lot of other people involved in my success,” he said. Over the years, Mr. Wiersma has also served as president of the Munic- ipal Electric Association, on the board of governors for Redeemer College and on both the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Ajax Pickering Board of Trade. Mr. Wiersma had been involved in the board of trade years ago but “came out of retirement” in 2000 to serve as its past presi- dent and chairman when it was discovered a former general manager was in- volved in a fraud scheme, said board of trade presi- dent Nigel Allen. His leadership and cred- ibility within the commu- nity helped usher the board of trade through one of its most difficult seasons, he said. “He’s a gentleman,” Mr. Allen added. “Some peo- ple embody characters that are positive, some here and some there. But he embodies them all. “J ohn’s a leader not only in business, but he’s also a leader personally in what he gives back to the com- munity.” John Wiersma gives to the community JJOOHHNN WWIIEERRSSMMAA ‘Like a lot of things in my life, there were a lot of other people involved in my success.’ DDUURRHHAAMM — The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Durham Region needs indi- viduals to join the Commu- nity Presentations Pro- gram.

According to Michael Scott, executive director of the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation (ORMF), his agency’s board of directors approved the grant in September and for- warded a total of $219,834 to the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) last week. CLOCA requested the funds in Au- gust, says Mr. Scott. The money, he explains, has been used by CLOCA to pur- chase three tracts of land in Durham Region, totalling more than 300 acres, in major watershed areas located on the Moraine. Those three parcels of land include a 161-acre lot of land on Middle March Road (com- monly known as the Easter Seals property), about 15 kilo- metres southwest of Port Perry. The other lots of land bought up by CLOCA include the Rahmani Tract, a 71-acre lot located on the south side of Coates Road west of the Purple Woods Conservation Area in Oshawa. The land is located in a headwater area where springs feed the Os- hawa Creek. CLOCA also pur- chased the Wiseman Tract, 94-acres of land located on the north side of the Long Sault Conservation Area in the Clarington. This parcel of land includes a highly sensi- tive forest. Durham Region has also pledged to help fi- nance the purchases. “Three pieces of land were purchased, about 320 acres, and all of them are valuable, environmentally-sensitive land located in the natural core area of the Oak Ridges Moraine,” says Mr. Scott. Each parcel of land, he con- tinues, “has unique environ- mental features, are prime habitat for wildlife and are lo- cated in or near headwater areas where springs and rivers feed into other water sources.” The parcels of land are also heavily forested, he added. “The combination of eco- logical and environmental factors make these lands important to protect and manage carefully,” says Mr. Scott. CLOCA chairman Rick Johnson offered his thanks to the ORMF for their con- tribution. “On behalf of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation (Authority) I would like to extend our appreciation to the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation for their sup- port,” he said in a press release. “The Foundation has facilitated the protection of three major properties in three major watersheds in Durham Region. These lands will be protected and managed to preserve their natural environmental func- tions and provide wildlife habitat for future generations.” The ORMF was created in March 2002 with an ini- tial $15 million grant from the Province to support its activities. Over the past seven months alone, the Foundation has handed out more than $600,000 in grants to projects that will help preserve and protect more than 1,500 acres of critical habitat across the Oak Ridges Moraine. “(Our work) is very important,” says Mr. Scott. “We have set very aggressive objectives for the Foundation; we have $15 million to allocate and virtually all of it is ear- marked for the next three to five years for the purpose of getting a quick start on starting and imple- menting the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. “This is a demonstration of what sound decisions and funding can do to protect the Oak Ridges Moraine.” Oak Ridges Moraine land to be protected It’s off the wall RRIICCKK JJOOHHNNSSOONN Offered his thanks to ORMF. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 7, 2003 PAGE 13 A/P FFRRIIDDAAYY,, NNOOVVEEMMBBEERR 77 AADDDDIICCTTIIOONN::The Serenity Group 12-step recovery group meets at 8 p.m. at Bayfair Baptist Church, 817 Kingston Rd., Pickering.

Church hosts bake sale Pickering chef to cook for world class gala BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— Ever wonder what a wattle seed is, or how about a lemon myrtle? Just ask David Evans. The Greenwood chef is one of 12 world-class culinary artists set to take part in the Spirit of Hospitality Festi- val, which celebrates Australian and Canadian cuisine this month. It takes place with a Wine and Dine Gala Wednesday, Nov. 12 and a Mas- ter Class Weekend Saturday, Nov. 15 for a day of cooking and wine work- shops. Proceeds from the festival go to- wards Trinity Home Hospice in Tor onto. Mr. Evans, who was born in Mel- borne Australia, will create lamb racks marinated in caramelised Guin- ness beer, along with native Tasman- ian pepperberry-rubbed sweet pota- toes for the six-course dinner gala. "In Australia there's a big move- ment to introduce indigenous plant species to modern farming practices," he explains. "Australian foods are be- coming increasingly popular here too because chefs and food lovers are al- ways looking for new kinds of flavour tastes and flavour sensations." Mr. Evans first stepped into a pro- fessional kitchen at the age of 16 as a chef apprentice. In his 20 years as a qualified chef, he has worked on yacht charters on the Great Barrier Reef, and as a sous-chef at the Australia Hotel, always incorporating the unique flavours he encountered trav- elling through Asia and working in Europe. In 1989, he came to Canada and began working as sous-chef at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and chef de partie at Centro Restau- rant in Toronto. He established Bush Dreams in 1996, an importing business bringing Australian indigenous plants used in cooking to Canada. And soon after, he helped launch Pepperberries Bistro, a restaurant in Brooklin showcasing de- lights from Bush Dreams. Mr. Evans has since sold his inter- ests in both ventures to move forward as a food consultant and work in menu development. He has guest lec- tured at culinary institutions and pri- vate cooking schools, and has made television appearances on Breakfast Television, Christine Cushing Live and Canadian Living TV. This month's festival package is $375 per guest and includes the Wine and Dine Gala and Master Class Weekend. Tickets for the Wine and Dine Gala only, are $300 each. The gala features guest chefs, Richard Andino of Rosewater Supper Club in Toronto; Andrew Blake, of Blakes in Melbourne; Robert Clark of C Restaurant in Vancouver; Stefan Czapalay of Chefs By Design in Hali- fax; Antonio De Luca of Hillebrand's Vineyard Café in Niagara-on-the- Lake; Michael Ewing of Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex; Chris Klugman of Summerhill Market in To r onto; Amede Lamarche of The Church Restaurant in Stratford; Brad Long of Air Canada Centre in Toron- to, Anthony Walsh of Oliver Bonacini Restaurants in Toronto; Joanne Yolles of Pangaea in Toronto; and Mr. Evans. Saturday's cooking workshops in- clude such topics as natural order, Pa- cific salmon tasting, Australian free style, and great cooks.

Hospital and arts come together for annual fund-raiser BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM —— Here's your chance to see 70 different takes on Christmas. The CIBC Wood Gundy Durham Festi- val of Trees returns for a fifth season, bringing the Cat in the Hat, dream catchers and The Decorating Challenge with it. Organizers hope to hit the $100,000 mark this year at the festival, which rais- es money each year for hospital equip- ment at the Rouge Valley Health System. It runs from Nov. 19 to 23 at the Pick- ering Recreation Complex in Pickering. "We have 70 decorated trees, 42 wreaths and we're also introducing cen- tre pieces and drop swags," says special events officer Maureen Dowhaniuk. "We've also got a lot of new people in- volved." New additions include a tree furnished by JV Productions, the creators of popu- lar television shows The Decorating Challenge and The Garden Gamble. The Great Blue Heron Charity Casino will also fashion a tree, entitled 'Lady Luck.' Sam's Club will have its first tree at the event as well. Volunteer designer Karen Huffman, who works directly with companies each year to come up with an interesting tree theme, has designed her own Cat in the Hat tree. One of her corporate collabora- tions includes a Freedom 55 tree donning dream catchers to work with the compa- ny's dream slogan. Mo re than 300 volunteers help out each year with the festival. "We had people helping us glue orna- ments this summer," Ms. Dowhaniuk says. "It's Christmas here all the time." The festival includes a number of events: • The public will get its first chance to purchase one of the more than 100 sea- sonal pieces at Holiday Fare, a Hawaiian- theme gala Wednesday, Nov. 19 from 7 to 10 p.m. • Organizations can tour the trees on Groups Day Thursday, Nov. 20 from 6:30 to 9 p.m., while seniors can sneak their peek on Seniors Day Friday, Nov. 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Seniors are $10 per per- son.

Beethoven's 'Septet' features clarinet, bassoon, French horn, violin, viola, cello and bass. The work is from his early career and was popular in its time. It was often made into arrangement for many other combinations of instruments. The Chamber Music So- ciety of Mississauga will present the original. Berwald's composition was inspired by Beethoven's and complements the earlier work. Nielsen's work is for clarinet, bassoon, horn, cello and bass. The Chamber Music Society musicians at this con- cert will be artistic director Peggy Hills-McGuire, vio- lin, Marsha Moffitt, cello, Rob Wolanski, bass, Kathy Coltof, of the Oshawa-Durham Symphony Orchestra, viola, Colin Savage, clarinet, Lisa Griffiths, bassoon, and James MacDonald, a local resident, horn.

Good Deal Super Buffet Chinese Food Most of us have accepted the fact that it’s expensive to heat a home in the winter and keep it cool in the summer. With the price of natural resources soaring each year, we may feel that there is nothing we can do, but that’s not entirely tr ue. There are lots of ways to make heating or cooling our homes less expensive. First, let’s talk about insulation. When properly placed, insulation can halt or slow the transfer of heat. Newer homes are often built with modern energy- saving techniques, but additional insulation installed in older homes can save the homeowner thousands of dollars in utilities over just a few years. Are some rooms in your house cooler than others during the winter? Do your feet get particularly cold when you’re in a room located over a crawl space? Insulation can help. Experts say all open cavities of walls, floors and ceilings adjacent to living spaces should be insulated. Insulation not only reduces your utility bills by saving energy, but it also makes your house more comfortable by helping maintain an even temperature. It also increases the resale value of your home while reducing external noise by acting as a buffer. Additionally, properly installed insulation can reduce the growth of molds and mildew that can cause serious health problems. Insulation is manufactured from all different types of materials. Most common are f ibreglass, polyester and wood, but there is also plastic from recycled milk cartons and straw. Each is regulated and rated by R-values. The higher the R- value, the better the insulating properties. Generally speaking, the roof should be insulated with R-values between R-40 and R-50, walls above grade between R-20 and R-30, and basement walls with R-10. In most homes, the highest heat loss occurs through the attic. Attic insulation should have a minimum value of R-40.

Family rooms, home gyms and in-home theatres are among the most common basement remodeling projects. Whether you are upgrading an older home or completing an unf inished lower level in a new one, here’s what designers recommend to maximize your space: · The number one requirement for creating an ideal basement is that it be dry, so tackle any moisture problems f irst. · To achieve your ultimate space, walls, floors and ceilings must be finished. No concrete is allowed in this ultimate space. Hang dry wall to cover the concrete blocks, providing a homey feeling, and don’t forget insulation. Basement rooms that are heated need insulation with an R- value of 10. · Keep the ceiling height as high as possible to alleviate the boxy feeling of a subterranean space. · Create an open floor plan that allows families to spend time together but still has space for multiple tasks. · Paint the walls a warm, inviting color to give ambiance or hang wallpaper above a chair rail with paint below. · Use recessed lighting and sconces throughout the space for a soft, inviting glow. • Natural light is critical to basement space. Capitalize on any existing windows and use the same quality materials for them that you used for those upstairs. You can create the image of additional windows by hanging blinds or curtains where no windows exist. Or you can paint your own outdoor scene and frame it with a window treatment. · Include full-frame window walls to separate, but link two rooms. The use of interior glass will let light flow between the rooms and create a feeling of spaciousness. · Use mirrors to help reflect light as well as give the room added dimension. · Open the stairway, so it doesn’t feel like a long, dark tunnel. Consider adding built-in lighting to stairways and utilize the space below. · Add a fireplace to create a focal point in the room. · Use columns as architectural accents. · Hang framed photographs or artwork, using spotlights or track lights to create intimacy. · Select upholstered seating that is comfortable and inviting to add warmth and texture to the room. · Consider a hardwood floor with a richly colored area rug placed in the seating area before the fireplace. · Plan electrical outlets with present and future needs in mind. For example, you may decide at some future date to change your home gym into an office or spare bedroom. · Don’t forget to add plants to your basement rooms. Select low-light loving plants for the best results and minimum maintenance. · Keep in mind when selecting materials that this may become a favorite hangout for the family, so choose fabrics and f inishes that wear well. Today many families are choosing to turn their basement storage areas into ultimate living spaces. By selecting quality materials and hiring qualified professionals to do the work, you can create an oasis to enjoy for years to come.

Several factors can determine how much insulation your home needs-the climate where you reside, the structure of your home and the type of furnace or air conditioning unit you use. You might consider getting an energy audit of your home to determine where the weak points are located. Some utility companies offer free audits. Keep your heating equipment serviced and maintained regularly for top performance. If you need new equipment, purchase an energy-efficient model. It may cost more upfront, but you’ll make up for that by paying less to the utility company. Weatherizing your home, sealing air leaks most often caused by shifting and settling overtime, can also prevent heat loss during winter. Most often, these leaks occur where two different building materials meet. Some of the most common areas include: narrow spaces around roof flashing, vents and pipes where air can travel, cracks in bricks or foundation walls, and gaps where the foundation wall meets the siding and around door frames. Two 1/8” gaps can let in as much cold air as a window left open 6” all winter. Imagine how much money that would cost you. Inspect the exterior of your home carefully from different angles to spot cracks and gaps. Then use caulking or weather- stripping to seal them. Water heaters are the second-largest energy users in the home. Experts recommend insulating an older water heater or purchasing an energy-efficient model. Buying an energy-eff icient water heater can be expensive, but in the long run, it will cost less to operate. Additionally, insulating hot water pipes with half-inch foam or pipe tape can save $25 annually. Properly planned lighting can affect energy use as well. Compact fluorescent light bulbs last three to four times longer and are more eff icient than ordinary incandescent light bulbs, yet give off the same light. Av oid the long-life incandescent variety - they are the biggest energy burners. Use task lighting where needed and turn off the general lighting when unnecessary. Above all, don’t leave lights burning when they’re not being used. Do your own energy audit this fall. Locate sources that leak cold air, keep your hot water heater and furnace tuned up, and use lighting wisely to keep those high utility bills at bay. Tips for preventing heat loss this winter season Continued From Page 23 More and more, Canadians are entertaining at home. To help offer your guests an event to remember, consider installing an at-home bar. Building an at-home bar Consider the lay out of the room where you will build the bar. Is the bar part of an overall remodeling of the space, or will it complement the existing décor? Consider interesting materials for construction - glass vs. wood or chrome vs. brass. All the right tools Features such as a built-in fridge, beer tap, sink and faucet all increase the functionality of the space and the likelihood that you will use the bar on a regular basis when entertaining friends and family. Imagine the convenience of having a cold-water tap right at the bar - saving time by eliminating trips back and forth from the kitchen. Moen offers a line of Butler cold-water faucets that can be easily incorporated into your design.

The Pickering Museum Village will host the Backwood Players for their perfor- mances of Aladdin and his Magic Lamp on Saturday, Dec. 6 and 13 and will present Christmas in the Village on Sunday, Dec. 7 and 14. The Backwood Players are pleased to pre- sent their first indoor production of Aladdin, a Christmas Panto-mime in Brougham Hall, Brock Rd. in Brougham, north Pickering. The performance of Aladdin will feature music and dance, high and low comedy, slap- stick, heroes and villains, outrageous cos- tumes and audience participation. Aladdin is directed by Dianne Fordham and Julie Oakes and is a bit of a departure from the Backwood Players' reputation. Known for their original material, the Play- ers' will be presenting Aladdin in classic Panto style that dates back over a century. The directors also intend to help the audi- ence, encouraging booing at appropriate times and also welcoming responses to the actors when they speak directly to the audi- ence. Aladdin is for all ages as the humour can work on many levels. It will be entertain- ing for adults while also appealing to youth with pratfalls and gags. A sample of dialogue shows an exchange between Aladdin and his mother, (played by a man) in which Aladdin is told of how his parents met: Twankey:...There he was... six feet tall, chest as hairy as a busted sofa, and one beautiful glass eye. Aladdin: (Startled) Glass eye?? Twankey: (Quickly) Oh, I didn't realize it at first. It just came out during the conver- sation. Anyway, to cut a long story short, ...he took me for a gin and tonic and Schwepped me off my feet. (She sighs happi- ly) Oh, those were the days. Fifteen years we were married and not once did we think of divorce. Murder, yes...but not divorce. Poor Cuthbert. I still miss him, you know. He was a model husband... “ The show will feature children from the Pickering School of Ballet Dance Academy, belly dancers from Zhara's School of Middle Eastern Dance, and a large cast of men, women, children, men dressed as women, women dressed as men, one genie and a camel. Aladdin tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children or can be purchased at a combined value-price, which includes Christmas in the Village: caroling, Scottish Hogmanay, Germanic traditions and Victo- rian Christmas.

Five is the number of consecu- tive Durham Region senior foot- ball crowns the Monarchs hope to possess after Saturday's Lake Ontario Secondary School Ath- letics (LOSSA) championship at the Oshawa Civic Stadium at 1:30 p.m. The Monarchs (8-0) earned the right to compete once more for the LOSSA title after a 34-15 vic- tory over Whitby's Sinclair Sec- ondary School Celtics (6-2) in LOSSA semifinal action at St. Mary Wednesday afternoon. They'll face Oshawa's Monsign- or Paul Dwyer Catholic High School Saints in the LOSSA final. The Saints defeated the Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas 17-13 in the other semifinal, played in Oshawa, also on Wednesday afternoon. A subdued St. Mary head coach Gordon Judges says he and his charges are looking for- ward to a classic east-west match-up with Dwyer on Satur- day. "That's why we're here -- to win a LOSSA championship for St. Mary and now we have that chance," says Judges. He's aware that, like the Celtics, the Saints are a team that loves to run the football down the opposition's throat. "I've heard about Dwyer and they pound the football," says Judges. "But, they also have a passing dimension to their game, so we're going to have to be smart enough to recognize the pass and defend the pass." St. Mary accomplished the semifinal victory with its impres- sive array of offensive plays di- rected by quarterback Erik Glav- ic, coupled with the reliable play of its defence. What was at the heart of the semifinal win, however, was the aggressive play exhibited through to the final whistle, says Judges. "I'm really proud of the players. St. Mary's has always had tough football teams but, today, was the toughest effort I've seen in years." Uncharacteristic about the semifinal victory was the Mon- archs' penchant for penalties, which cropped up in a major way, those of the undisciplined variety, including roughing the passer, roughing the kicker and objec- tionable conduct infractions. And, they turned the ball over several times, something that's been a rarity not only this year, but in past seasons for St. Mary. Judges says he's not overly con- cerned about either of the bad traits his team exhibited in the semifinal, reminding his players after the game of playing "smart" football in Saturday's final. "I told the team that we played tough, St. Mary football. But, while you have to play tough, you also have to be smart. It's just a matter of knowing the rules in the areas of roughing the quarter- back and roughing the kicker. We just have to be smart," he says. After a scoreless first quarter in Wednesday's semifinal, St. Mary and Sinclair seemed des- tined to go into half time with the Monarchs carrying a slim 14-7 lead. Late in the second quarter, however, a fumble at midfield by the Celtics changed the complex- ion of the contest. A 50-yard pass-and-run play from Glavic to wide receiver Aaron Racioppa put the Mon- archs' first-and-goal at the Sin- clair five-yard line. One play later, Glavic threw a bullet to Jesse An- drews at the left side of the end zone. The Monarchs led 20-7 at half time and were never seriously challenged in the remaining half. Celtics' head coach Bill Walters says that play was crucial to Sin- clair's fortunes. The game plan was to keep Glavic under control but, on the ensuing St. Mary pos- session after the fumble recovery, the Celtics were unable to con- tain the Monarchs' pivot. "That was the one thing we tried to avoid," says Walters. "If we don't let (Glavic) escape, he does- n't make that long pass." "That was a crucial part of the game," Judges concurred. "It was tight up to that point. When we capitalized (on the fumble recov- ery) that put us into a reasonable lead. It gave us confidence in our- selves to win the football game." In addition to Andrews, Glavic contributed two touchdowns to St. Mary's winning cause. Dublin and Racioppa had the other Monarchs' majors. Glavic was 4- for-5 in convert attempts. Kyle Exume had two touch- downs for Sinclair. Kyle O'Boyle added a two-point convert and Jeremy Beggs had a convert. St. Mary and Dwyer will be moving on to the Golden Horse- shoe Bowl-East semifinals, also to be played at Oshawa Civic Sta- dium on Nov. 14. In addition to the two Durham teams, the independent school conference champion St. An- drew's Saints of Aurora and the Yo rk Region champion will also play.

Whether they do so as Durham Region senior foot- ball champs is a whole new kettle of fish, however. After dropping Pickering's Pine Ridge Pumas 17-13 in a Lake Ontario Secondary Schools Athletics (LOSSA) semifinal played in Oshawa Wednesday, the Saints are now faced with the unenviable task of trying to dethrone the four-time defending champion St. Mary Monarchs of Picker- ing. Regardless of how that plays out Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Civic Stadium, the Saints will make a return visit to the Civic a week later, when LOSSA sends two representatives to the Golden Horseshoe Bowl- East semifinals. To get there as LOSSA champions, the Saints will need all the stars aligned properly and perhaps a little help from the weatherman, head coach Ezio Azzano ad- mits. "It's going to definitely be a tough game," says Azzano. "What we're going to have to do is a ball-control offence, to keep the ball away from them as much as possible." In particular, Azzano wants to keep the ball out of star quarterback Erik Glavic's hands — or at least contain him as much as possible when he does have it. Glavic has led the Monarchs to a perfect 8-0 season thus far, including a 34- 15 win over Whitby's Sinclair Celtics in the other semifinal Wednesday. The Saints are very strong on defence. They allowed just 50 points during a 5-1 regular season and then avenged their lone loss, 28-0 to Eastdale in the second week, with a 4-0 snoozer over the Eagles in the quarterfinals. "We're a pretty solid team on defence; we just have to get some offence going," says Az- zano. The offence was good enough Wednesday against Pine Ridge, as the Saints jumped out to a 9-1 halftime lead and then held on in the second half. Mike Misura hauled in a 30- yard pass from quarterback Kyle Amorim in the second quarter and Albert Ng rushed in another from 10 yards out in the fourth quarter. The Pumas made things in- teresting in the second half when Ellis Bowen caught a pair of touchdown strikes, one in each quarter. "We wanted to get some of- fence going in the first half. That gave us the lead we need- ed to salt it away," says Az- zano. Although he's not looking beyond the upcoming big games, Azzano says the Saints should be even stronger next year as the young team ma- tures. "They just need a little fine- tuning to get to the next level, but this experience is going to be great for us," he says. "I think there's a lot of parity in the east. We've got three or four good quality teams (Dwyer, Sinclair, Eastdale and Uxbridge). Those are the teams who will hopefully come up to the St. Mary level." Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo A Pine Ridge Pumas ball carrier is on the bottom of a pile of Monsignor Paul Dwyer Saints tacklers during LOSSA senior football semifinal action in Oshawa Wednesday af- ternoon.

The Lightning and Barracu- das were invited to play their regular-season game as part of the Leafs TV Saturday Heroes Live broadcast series. The team was thrilled with the en- tire event, which included an invitation to watch the NHL's To r onto Maple Leafs and the Wa shington Capitals practice before the Heroes game. The win improved the Light- ning's record to 4-0-0 and capped a wonderful experience thanks to Leafs TV and the To ronto Maple Leafs' organi- zation. Katie Arathoon gave Durham West an early lead in the first period with a nice wraparound after Kelsie Mof- fatt forced Burlington to cough up the puck and passed to Kiera Dever, who fed Arathoon for the goal. Burlington evened the score later in the period but could not put another past the incredible goaltending duo of Megan Rourke and Julia Ouroumis. The defence of Ainsley Nor tham, Sydney O'Neill, Olivia Roberge and Victoria Formusa played a solid game, killing off penalties and clear- ing its own zone. Early in the third period Emily Marks, substituting at centre for an absent Leah Se- meniuk, forced the Barracu- da's defence to give up the puck. Lindsay Smith took a shot that deflected to Kristi Risely who scored the go- ahead goal. Three minutes later, a faceoff in the Burling- ton end resulted in a goal- mouth scramble where Shan- non Stoneburg bagged an in- surance marker, assisted by Diane Sawyer and Kristi Rise- ly.
