Groen/ News Advertiser photo BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — City officials are bracing for an announcement today they believe will determine the fate of lands in Seaton with- out any input from Pickering. Interim Mayor Maurice Bren- ner said several well-placed sources at Queen’s Park have told him the Province is prepar- ing to announce a deal today with developers Silvio and Alfred DeGasperis. “The sources are unofficial at this point because I haven’t been able to confirm them through the Premier’s office,” he ex- plained. But the deal, he said, is ex- pected to be announced today in Richmond Hill, and includes swapping lands in Seaton locat- ed along the 407 corridor and in East Duffins for privately-owned lands on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Lands along the 407, designated by Pickering for fu- ture industrial and employment lands, would be converted to new housing, according to the in- terim-mayor’s sources. “If they’re making the an- nouncement, we know a deal has been signed,” said Interim Mayor Brenner. “This isn’t transparent. This flies in the face of everything we’ve been trying to get across to the new government.” The Ministry of Municipal Af- fairs and Housing wouldn’t con- firm reports of an announce- Seaton swap deal imminent Man charged with sex offences PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — A 21-year-old Pickering man has been charged with sexual assault and interfer- ence of a four-year-old boy.

HWY. #2 HWY. 401 WE ARE HERE SHEPPARD AVE.WHITES RD.BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — A Pickering man ac- quitted of strangling his ex-girlfriend and staging her death as a hanging suicide will not face a second trial. The Ontario Court of Appeal on Thursday dismissed an appeal by the Crown in the case of Jesse Watkins, who was found not guilty of murder by a Durham Region jury in the 1996 death of Laurie Anne White, 20, of Pickering. Mr. Watkins, a 26-year-old furni- ture deliveryman, was acquitted in 1999 after a 10-week trial in which prosecutors accused him of stran- gling Ms. White with an electrical cord - or his bare hands - and run- ning the cord over her bedroom door to look like a suicide. The dental as- sistant’s lifeless body was found by her mother on the bedroom floor, the cord wrapped tightly around her neck, court heard. Durham Regional Police initially ruled the death suicide but contin- ued the investigation at the urging of parents Brent and Shirley White, of Whitby. Six months later, following a sec- ond autopsy and forensic testing, her former boyfriend was charged with first-degree murder. In seeking to win a new trial, the Crown had argued trial judge Jus- tice Bruce Glass erred in excluding key evidence of a former girlfriend of Mr. Watkins, failed to properly in- struct the jury, and mistakenly per- mitted “hearsay” evidence in the form of letters Ms. White wrote threatening suicide. At trial, Mr. Watkins was portrayed as a control- ling and obsessive boyfriend who stalked Ms. White when she tried to break off their relationship. Ms. White was described by friends, fam- ily and colleagues at Amber- lea Dental Clinic as a vibrant, athletic, and happy young woman who enjoyed kayaking and baseball and refereeing with the Pickering Ringette Association. On the day she died, Mr. Watkins went to Ms. White’s residence to retrieve some of his clothing and they got into a heated argument. Prosecutors alleged he strangled Ms. White, placed a chair on the floor near her body, slung the cord over the bedroom door until it snapped, and tied the broken end to the knob in a staged suicide scene. The case hinged on circum- stantial evidence, including a forensic engineer who testi- fied paint marks on the cord were not consistent with sui- cide, and also an alleged con- fession by Mr. Watkins to a childhood friend. Joshua Brown testified Mr. Watkins admitted strangling Ms. White after she taunted him. However, his credibility was undermined by a criminal past and his admission under cross-examination he was once a “compulsive liar.” The appellate court ruled Justice Glass was correct to exclude the evidence of an ex- g irlfriend who recounted a chilling 1994 incident, which the Crown argued mirrored the alleged murder of Ms. White. At a 1998 preliminary hearing Elizabeth Casimiro said Mr. Watkins bound her wrists with a telephone cord he then tied to a bedroom door. In a unanimous three-jus- tice decision, the court of ap- peal concluded: “As with any evidence of discreditable con- duct, there was a danger that the jury would misuse the evi- dence. The superficial similar- ity between the two events heightened the risk that the jury could give the evidence far too much weight.” No new trial for man acquitted of murder JJEESSSSEE WWAATTKKIINNSS Won’t face a second trial in connection with the death of Laurie Anne White.

The first expert testified Nov. 19 as to the appropriate penalty for Dr. Errol Wai-Ping who chose not to contest the hearing. The finding is based on evi- dence surgeries performed by Dr. Wai-Ping led to patient in- jury. “Dr. Wai-Ping did not ap- pear to use medical manage- ment when it was appropri- ate. There seemed to be an in- ordinate rush to a surgical so- lution,” Dr. Michael McGrath, an expert who examined nine cases, wrote in a “statement of facts” filed with the panel. “One cannot but question the motive behind this,” he added. Dr. Wai-Ping practised at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital between 19 92 and October 2001, when his privileges were pulled. Since Nov. 16, 2002, he has been restricted to performing non-surgical office assess- ments of patients, and has had to permit the college to monitor his accounts to OHIP. At the outset of Wednesday’s hearing, lawyer Mary Thomson said her client was pleading “no contest” to the facts in the 46-page state- ment. Ms. Thomson later clarified “it is fair to say he does not accept all of the facts, but he doesn’t challenge them in these proceedings.” Prosecutor Maureen Fo restell will begin calling ev- idence at a penalty hearing that begins this morning. Dr. Wai-Ping faces sanctions ranging from censure to revo- cation of his medical licence. The 47 cases analyzed by experts reveal unnecessary exposure of patients to pain, unacceptable delays in treat- ment, poor record-keeping, inappropriate advice and im- proper behaviour, such as “screaming” at one patient, blaming another for her con- dition, and inappropriate re- moval of ovaries. The statement contains concise “opinions” of the three experts who found “below standard care” in 38 of the cases. Former patient Carmel Casson said in an interview she did not find it difficult to be in the same room as Dr. Wai-Ping at the outset of the hearing, “but as time went on and the more cases I heard, and the expert’s conclusions, it made me angry.” -TToorrssttaarr NNeewwss SSeerrvviiccee Wai-Ping faces penalty www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 21, 2003 PAGE 5 A/P CORRECTION NOTICE In our November 14th - November 20th flyer we advertise the Samsung 2670WHF 26" Widescreen High- Definition TV (10027939).

Make a difference for a child in an impoverished country Close the loopholes Truck safety legislation must be tightened You know you have a serious safety problem when police officers call your local section of Hwy. 401 the 'Whitby Triangle.' The reference is a comparison to the infamous 'Bermuda Triangle' in the Atlantic Ocean where several airplanes and ships have simply disappeared over the past century. While the 'Bermuda Triangle' is a complete mystery, the 'Whitby Triangle' is tragically, not. The Hwy. 401 strip between Clarington and Pickering has been a constant source of freak accidents involving flying truck wheels. The wheels separate from transports and fly into oncoming cars or vans killing and/or injuring their occupants. Over the past decade, at least five people have died in Durham Region when they have been struck by these projec- tiles. Officers have no idea why the frequency of serious inci- dents ramps up in Durham. OPP Sergeant Cam Wooley says Durham has had more such fatalities since 1995 than any ju- risdiction in North America. While the Province took action to boost fines and tighten up regulations several years ago after a number of incidents oc- curred, it evidently has not been enough. Just this year, during two separate truck blitz inspections on the 401 in Durham, the failure rate was far too high. In March, of 49 trucks inspected in Pickering and Whitby, 17 were removed from the road for safety violations. Thirty-seven charges were laid, six sets of licence plates were removed and two drivers were arrested. Just a few months later, in July, 21 of 37 trucks were removed from service, a whopping failure rate of 57 per cent. It seems the message is not getting through. Many truckers and companies are willing to take risks with the lives of people they must share the road with. In the latest incident, which saw a woman killed near Bow- manville when a 300-kilogram double-wheel assembly fly off a truck, the current legislation doesn't even apply. If the wheels separate but remain attached to the hub, it's not a detached wheel offence. So the trucker and his company cannot be charged. Clearly, the law must be changed and must apply to all de- tached parts that leave a truck and injure or kill innocent dri- vers. And inspections must continue with penalties that make it so onerous to drive that only totally safe vehicles are on the road. Region’s top job deserves the best TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'One More Vote to Go:' Wednesday, Nov. 19. Why is it that we, as a community continue to marginalize the seat of re- gional chairman by making it a place for failed politicians? Nancy Diamond, Jim McMaster and, yes, even Roger Anderson in his day, were sent clear messages by the voters of their communities. Our current chairman hides behind the cost for an election but to add one more position on each ballot on Nov. 10 would have been a marginal cost. Instead, we offer the regional chair- man position as a consolation prize to those that go down in defeat. This has the undesired affect of reducing the credibility of the position and, ultimate- ly, marginalizes the accomplishments of the individual who holds the seat. The most powerful political position in Durham must be decided by the elec- torate and to put any of these individu- als into this important seat is an affront to the democratic process that we just went through. The people spoke on Nov. 10 and they should be listened to.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 21, 2003 www.durhamregion.com There is a lot of griping going around about the early ar- rival of Christmas. Not everyone is willing to put up with the Christmas music and trees and seasonal displays already contami- nating malls and businesses. Let's face it, the day after Hal- loween, stores have made it the of- ficial start of the holidays. C'mon, it doesn't feel like Christmas when there are still leaves on the trees and no snow on the ground. Yet, there are radio stations out there already playing Christmas music - full time, all the time. Well, it's time to take action. The legislators of this country need to stand up and speak up for all of us. It's time to put a moratorium on early Christmas celebrations. Let's take our holiday season back. The wording of this legisla- tion should be made simple and easy to understand: No Christmas displays or holiday season promo- tions before Dec. 1 and they all have to be down by Jan. 2, under penalty of law. Enforcement will be easy. A con- sumer hotline could be set up and run by volunteers, the legion of humbugs out there who bemoan the commercialization of the sea- son. Complaints can be lodged and reported to police regularly and the offenders should expect severe penalties. And don't think this only applies to stores. If a neighbour's year-round Christmas light display drives you nuts, call 1-800-A-HUM- BUG. That home Christmas deco- rator will be dragged off in hand- cuffs within hours. And wouldn't that be a satisfying sight all by itself? The penalties themselves would have to be considered carefully. The legislators can toss this around, but they should consider making the punishment fit the crime. Your neighbour with the lights up way too early - he should be made to take them down and then force-fed some Christmas cake everyday until Dec. 25. He wouldn't make that mistake again. But what are the real chances of this legislation ever being considered. Well, it appears woefully low. Contacted, to see if he would champion this kind of legislation, Durham MPP John O'Toole sound- ed a little hesitant. "I'm certainly interested in bring- ing forward appropriate legislation for dealing with the marketplace," he says. "I wouldn't be in favour of legis- lating 'No spirit of Christmas be- fore Dec. 1', but I'd certainly be in- terested in what other people had to say." So maybe the idea is stuck at the starting gate. It's too bad really. Even though he's already been in a Santa Claus parade in Bow- manville, with more such events yet to go, Mr. O'Toole says it's the con- sumer that drives the Christmas mania that starts in November. So, in the end, we only have our- selves to blame after all. Christmas in November is here to stay. Christmas in November? Bah humbug.

The Durham District School Board on Monday released the ag- gregate data from the survey. In the new year, the numbers will be broken down further into responses from in- dividual groups, such as teachers. Education director Craig Burch says at the end of the process, likely in January, trustees will be asked questions gleaned from the input to g uide any amendments to the strategic plan, in place since 1998. Of the 7,000 surveys distributed in the region, board staff, school coun- cil members, students and others re- turned 1,715. The survey consisted of 51 statements, to which respondents replied how important each was and to what degree they felt it was in place as a board practice. While 84 per cent of respondents believe it is a well-refined or routine practice at the board to share provincial test information, just 23 per cent felt it was very important to do so. An additional 41 per cent felt it was “somewhat important.” “We’re busting ourselves to im- prove the (test scores) and really only 23 per cent of the people cared? - That’s kind of scary,” commented Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford at the board meeting. She also noted that 46 per cent of respondents believe it is an in- grained or routine practice to share information about how education dollars are spent, though seven in 10 think it’s very important to do so. Mo re than one in two respondents were not aware the board shared such information or felt it was only in the beginning stages of passing on the information. “I wonder if the information we send out to the schools should be broken down...so it’s easier to under- stand at the school level,” said Trustee Crawford, noting the budget document is big and complex. Ninety-two per cent of those who returned the survey, the highest per- centage in the survey, believe provid- ing a focus on literacy and numeracy and ensuring a safe and secure school environment is very impor- tant. Ninety-four per cent of respon- dents believe it’s very or somewhat important for the board to keep school community councils informed about school and board-wide initia- tives. On the flip side, two out of every three believe that practice is well refined or routine at the board. Other responses showed: • Sixty-seven per cent believe it’s crucial for the board to spread its re- sources effectively and responsibly throughout the system to create eq- uity. But over half felt the board was in the early stages of doing this or were not aware it was done at all. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 21, 2003 PAGE 9 P ment being made today, or any other details. Pickering has been try- ing all week, with little luck, to get a briefing from the Province as to how the Seaton land swap may be affected by closed door negotiations with devel- opers over 6,600 homes being constructed in Rich- mond Hill on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Dalton McGuinty’s new government slapped a two-week freeze on con- struction to allow the Province more time to hammer out a deal with developers, the same de- velopers involved in the Seaton land swap. The Tories were in the middle of trading provin- cially owned lands in Seaton with privately owned lands in Richmond Hill and Uxbridge before losing the Oct. 2 provin- cial election. In their campaign, the Liberals promised to put a stop to the construction of 6,600 homes in Rich- mond Hill, but developers have threatened to sue if they aren’t allowed to move forward. Should the announce- ment take place, Picker- ing council has been “put on notice” a special coun- cil meeting will be held Monday to discuss its im- pacts. The session will be “an open and public briefing,” said Interim Mayor Bren- ner. Some of the crown lands in East Duffins have been designated for housing, but the area has- n’t been properly studied yet for any possible native burial grounds and other archaeological signifi- cance, he said. The 407 corridor hasn’t been examined either, but some difference of opin- ion also exists as to its fu- ture use. The City’s Offi- cial Plan shows the corri- dor as a potential indus- trial and employment area, which would help boost Pickering’s ailing assessment base, said In- terim Mayor Brenner. But the Regional Offi- cial Plan and a secondary plan released earlier this year by the previous Tory government showed the area as a future spot for housing, he pointed out. Interim Mayor Brenner said he believes the Province is now looking to these two areas to swap with developers because they are close to pumping stations and other ser- vices needed for housing. “But it’s a question of are there burial grounds there, and are we going to take badly needed indus- trial land and turn it into residential,” he added. Should council meet Monday, Interim Mayor Brenner said he plans to invite the Mississaugas of Scugog First Nation, the closest native band, to take part as well. “All we’ve been looking for from the Province is to sit down and talk about something that is going to have long term impacts for the City of Pickering,” he said. Liberals may look to 407 corridor in land swap child and his mother were visiting an acquaintance in Pickering last August when a male friend of the acquaintance allegedly made “sexual advances” toward the boy. He said the child com- plained to his mother, who called authorities. A suspect was arrested Tuesday following an in- vestigation by Durham sex-assault detectives. Justin Thomas Free- man, age 21, of Poprad Av- enue, is charged with sex- ual assault, sexual inter- ference and invitation to sexual touching. He was detained pend- ing a bail hearing. Anyone with informa- tion about the case is asked to call Detective Larry Lunn, of the Major Crime Sexual Assault Child Abuse Unit, at 905- 579-1520, ext. 5317, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477. DDUURRHHAAMM — During its first two weeks of operation, Durham Region Health Department flu clinics have vaccinated more than 7,200 area res- idents, 800 of them children. For the fourth consecutive year, the Durham health department is providing free community flu vacci- nation clinics across the region. The clinics opened Nov. 1 and will contin- ue to Dec. 13. During flu season last year, the health department vaccinated more than 12,000 at the clinics, an increase from the previous year’s total. It is expected the health department will again see an increase in the number of residents attending community clinics this year. In addition to offering 27 clinics throughout the region, the health department expanded clinic hours by offering a community flu vaccina- tion clinic at the Whitby Mall, locat- ed at 1615 Dundas St. E., Whitby. It is the Durham Region Health Depart- ment’s first dedicated community f lu vaccination clinic. “What this clinic does is make it easy,” says department spokesman Glendene Collins. “It’s open six days a week... and you don’t need an ap- pointment.” The new clinic will operate six days a week until Dec. 13, Monday to Thursday, noon to 7 p.m., Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Everyone six months of age and older can be vaccinated against influenza. Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham Region Medical Officer of Health, says since the community- wide clinics began in 2000, about 35 per cent of area residents 18 and older have been immunized each flu season.

Over 100,000 Spectacular Sparkling Lights & Motion Displays Canada’s bid finds ninth life as Spain possibly out of race DDUURRHHAAMM — Canada’s bid to host ITER, an international energy re- search facility, in Clarington got thrown a lifeline, Thursday, with a leaked report out of Europe that could turn political winds in favour of the Durham site. While federal politics continue to get in the way of a decision on whether Canada will re-launch its bid to host the facility, Canadian proponents have been praying for a delay in international proceedings. They hoped to buy some time to allow Prime Minister-elect Paul Mar tin - believed to be a strong ITER supporter — to take the helm. Now, says Clarington Mayor John Mutton, Canada may just have got- ten the break it was hoping for. The other six international part- ners on the ITER - International Thermonuclear Experimental Reac- tor - project are poised to make a de- cision on where to locate the multi- billion dollar facility at a meeting on Dec. 4 and 5. That timeline would be impossible for Canada, since Mr. Martin is not sworn in until Dec. 12. Other coun- tries vying for the project are Spain, France and Japan. But, Mayor Mutton says Canadian sources in Europe indicate the Euro- pean Union is poised to eliminate the popular Spanish site from the competition for the energy research facility. It is believed, in a meeting in Brussels on Nov. 27, the European council will put its full backing be- hind the French site, withdrawing relative-newcomer to the game Spain in order to put its full weight behind one European site. While France may be the prefer- ence within the EU, some interna- tional partners, including the US and Japan are rumoured to have preferred the Spanish site. “There’s hope. It’s caught every- one by surprise,” the mayor said Thursday afternoon after hearing the news. There is optimism amongst the Canadian proponents that the United States and Japan may now ask for a delay in a final site decision to allow Canada time to get back to the table, he said. If the site decision is delayed at the December negotiations, with the various holiday seasons approach- ing globally, it will be February be- fore the partners are back in a posi- tion to meet again, according to Murray Stewart, Iter Canada presi- dent. That, he believes, is a more plausible timeline for Canada to get its offer together and on the table. If time is on Canada’s side, politi- cally, the will is there, Mayor Mutton says confidently. “Based on our con- versations with Paul Martin and based on his interventions on behalf of ITER, I would say I’ve got all the confidence in the world he is going to be making that decision,” to pro- ceed with ITER, once he is sworn in. “It’s a whole new era of federal and provincial co-operation. All Martin’s ministers-to-be and everyone close to him supports ITER,” says the mayor. ITER’s race against time Canada withdrew its bid to host the ITER facility in De- cember 2002 following strong bids by Spain, France and Japan. At the time, then fed- eral negotiator Jim Campbell said he expected the feds would announce by March whether they would put a stronger revised bid back on the table or drop out. However, citing the on- going federal leadership change, the Ontario provin- cial election and other items taking precedence on the fed- eral agenda, no ITER deci- sion has been forthcoming. The other partners on the project are the European Union, United States, China, Japan, the Russian Federa- tion and Korea. Last week, internationally, ITER got a large vote of confi- dence from the United States Department of Energy, which announced ITER topped its list of 28 top-priority research projects.

The Durham Regional Health Department and Ontario Early Years Centres are targeting chil- dren between 18 months and six years for the program which began on International Chil- dren’s Day, Nov. 20. Designed to make parents more aware of milestones re- garding a child’s social and emo- tional development, the pro- gram, ‘Feelings are Important Too: Accept Me, Guide Me, En- courage Me,’ will also relate how these milestones contribute to school readiness. “We understand there are many challenges that come with parenting,” said Becky Wall, manager of Public Health Nurs- ing and Nutrition for the Durham Region Health Depart- ment. “This campaign was cre- ated to help support parents throughout their child’s develop- ing years and will help us to pro- vide direct support to families in Durham Region.” Many parents don’t know what to expect or what to do to help their children’s emotional and social development accord- ing to Invest in Kids, a national charitable organization promot- ing healthy social, emotional and intellectual development of chil- dren. The campaign offers a free information package offering tips to parents on dealing with their child’s emotionally moti- vated behaviours and how to ed- ucate children about emotions.

Ms. Lapps, a first-year York Uni- versity student, is one of 10, 2003 re- cipients of a National Harmony Scholarship. She received $1,000 and was feted at a banquet in To ronto last week. A non-profit charitable group founded in 1994, Harmony Move- ment’s mandate is to encourage all Canadians to support and promote harmony, diversity and equality. Ms. Lapps, who was co-valedicto- rian at Ajax High’s commencement ceremony last Saturday, was the team leader of the school’s Black History Month events earlier this year. “We put on a show called, A Hand in Success,” she said. “What we meant by that is the contributions black Canadians have made to the success of Canada.” The show included short skits, music, dance and highlighted black inventors, whose work is not well known in the country. One skit fea- tured former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. “He helped with multiculturalism and immigration that contributed to the cultural mosaic of Canada,” Ms. Lapps explained. Black History Month events also included informative announce- ments over the PA and a display in the school foyer. Ms. Lapps was also involved in tu- toring, at her church, the Church of the Nativity, and in Lord Durham Public School’s breakfast program, among other activities. A talented steel drummer, she is “almost finished” a solo gospel com- pact disc. Ms. Lapps says it won’t be hard to f ind a use for the scholarship money. “It helps to pay for my tuition and books and stuff like that,” she says, adding perhaps some will go to- wards her CD.

BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — They’re up, they’re down, they generally stay the same. That pretty much sums up both Durham Catholic board and Ontario Grade 3 and 6 provincial test results in recent years. So it begs the question: can the results go much higher, or have they levelled off for good? The Durham Catholic District School Board on Monday released results of the 2002/03 Edu- cation Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) assessment of reading, writing and mathematics students wrote in May. Of the six categories, four were unchanged from last year’s results, one was up and one was down. Indeed, over the past four years there has gen- erally been little improvement. “We would always like to do better,” says Gerry Blake, the Catholic board’s elementary programs superintendent. “We’re a bit disap- pointed in the math results, particularly in Grade 3, but we’re going to do some real in-ser- vice in Grade 3 in mathematics in the next few years.” Fifty-one per cent of the board’s Grade 3 math students, unchanged from last year, achieved the provincial standard of Level 3 or a ‘B.’ The percentage was 54 the previous two years. Province-wide, 57 per cent of students met or surpassed the standard. Mr. Blake says there has been some “steady improvement” in reading and writing in recent years, but not a great deal, and that is true province-wide. The percentage of Grade 3 and 6 students meeting or surpassing the standard in writing is up five and six points, respectively, over the last four tests. “I would think the EQAO is asking the same question,” he says as to whether the numbers can go higher. “There seems to be a plateau.” Province-wide, the numbers show there has been little change in recent years compared to the early years of the assessments. In the first three years, the percentage of Grade 3 and 6 students achieving or doing better than the standard rose by an average of seven points in each category. In the last three, the percent- ages have not moved. On the Grade 3 assess- ment, the percentage in math went up by 13 points in the first two years. In the last two, it has dropped by three. Victoria Hemming, EQAO’s chief assessment officer, in an inter- view agrees the percentages “have stabilized” compared to gains in the early years. But she says it’s important to look over the long term, where there have been increases across the board. She noted there might be improvements within each of the levels that would not appear in the general results, emphasizing that “im- proving student learning is a gradual process.” For example, the overall results would not show that more students are achieving a high- er Level 3, 75-79 as opposed to 70-74 per cent compared to the year before. As well, Ms. Hem- ming says at the micro level there are success stories. “Schools are showing steady improvement; you can see individual schools that show im- provement,” she says. Mr. Blake every year cautions that the re- sults should not be used to rank schools, since that’s not what the EQAO intends by releasing them. The way to analyse the numbers, he says, is to compare the percentage of successful students at a school with the board and provin- cial averages. At the end of the day, he says the large-scale assessments are a good thing since there is no other way for boards to garner such data. However he adds it is “a measure” of how schools and boards are doing, but just one. It’s also important to remember that unlike other work and tests in school, nothing can be ex- plained to students while they’re spending hours working on the tests: they’re on their own.

Pickering BByy CCaarrllyy FFoosstteerr Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — After looking its own unsterilized equip- ment demon in the eye, Lakeridge Health Corpo- ration says it’s already ahead of the pack when it comes to reviewing infec- tion control procedures. “Having had the inci- dents at Lakeridge, we’re actively investigating those and making sure we’ve exploited every op- portunity to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” said Brian Lemon, Lak- eridge’s president and chief executive officer. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has directed all hospitals in the province to audit their infection-control practices after more than 850 men had an improperly steril- ized prostate biopsy tool used on them at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital. Hospital officials said confusing cleaning in- structions caused the mix- ups, dating back to De- cember 1999 when the tool f irst started being used. The affected patients are being tested for HIV and hepatitis. It’s the second time in a month unsterilized equip- ment has permeated On- tario’s health system: 118 patients - including four Lakeridge well under way with ministry infection control request BByy CChhrriiss HHaallll Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Infection- control policies in dental offices are much more stringent than those in hospitals, says Port Perry dentist Dr. Jack Cottrell, a vice-president with the Canadian Dental Associ- ation. According to Dr. Cottrell, the CDA has a national protocol “which sets the standards of in- fection control in a dental office setting.” The fear of contracting viruses such as HIV and hepatitis through unster- ilized equipment “really came under scrutiny about 15 years ago in den- tal and hospital settings,” says Dr. Cottrell in the wake of two high-profile cases, one here in Durham Region at the Lakeridge Health Os- hawa site and the other at a Toronto hospital. “A ll our sterilization machines are computer- ized, which takes the g uess-work out of the process,” he says. Everything set out for use on a patient, includ- ing drills, bits, and hand equipment, stresses Dr. Cottrell, are put through a special machine that controls the time and pressure of the steriliza- tion. Even equipment not used in a procedure is sterilized, as are lights, doorknobs and “every- thing else that can be cleaned before our next patient comes in.” The machine, he con- tinues, tests the equip- ment for sterilization and gives out a printout of the results before the materi- als are removed. “Everything we do is fairly rigid, it leaves very little to the imagination,” adds Dr. Cottrell. “This gives us sort of a comfort zone and it is something the hospitals have to catch up on.” The Port Perry hospital site, however, uses the same sterilization ma- chine, he adds. In fact, continues Dr. Cottrell, CDA regulations surrounding infection- protection meet and in some cases exceed poli- cies set out by the Cen- ters for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, the leading infection control centre in North America. “Everything that goes in the mouth goes through the machine,” says Dr. Cottrell, noting that those now with fears about going to the dentist should “look at our track record and SARS (Sud- den Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is a great ex- ample. We had an excel- lent demonstration of our infection control proce- dures during the out- break; there were no con- f irmed cases through a dental visit. children - are being tested for HIV and hepatitis after unsterilized en- doscopy equipment and a reported- ly unsterilized dental mirror were used at Lakeridge Health Oshawa during the last week in October. While Lakeridge is currently re- viewing its sterilization procedures after the incidents, there are still lots of other areas to look at. “We have a good starting base, but there are a huge range of depart- ments in the hospital that have ster- ile procedures that would have to be reviewed,” Mr. Lemon said, giving the emergency, X-ray and intensive care departments as examples. “Be- cause of the experience we had, we’re planning to do that anyway. “This just gives you a time frame.” The mandatory audit must be complete by Jan. 9, and asks hospi- tals to review compliance, account- ability and how disease standards are communicated and monitored. “We expect hospitals to maintain the safest possible infection control standards and to be more vigilant about the sterilization equipment,” Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman said in a press release Monday. Now twinned to Sunnybrook by human error, Mr. Lemon pointed out mistakes can happen to anyone - even though he feels hospitals are the safest they’ve ever been. “We would always like to learn without mistakes,” he said of the two cases. “These types of incidents help ensure we take steps to not make mistakes again.” Dental sterilization better than hospital says dentist durhamregion.com When it’s cold outside… enjoy elegant dining inside!

The disease has killed 25 million around the world since 1983 and every 15 sec- onds someone will contract the dis- ease.

BByy JJaannee MMccDDoonnaalldd Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — The real heroes in this world are not the peo- ple who scale Mount Everest or sail solo across oceans. They are the men and women who learn to cope with life’s catastrophes. Such is the philosophy - though he would never call himself a ‘hero’ - and experi- ence of Andrew Potok. A visu- al artist who studied architec- ture at Yale University before becoming a well-known painter, he is now totally blind. Mr. Potok was in Oshawa Nov. 13 to share his unique ‘vi- sion’ as an author and advo- cate’s advocate. A guest lec- turer of the Durham Regional Vision Centre, a local organi- zation dedicated to helping people with low vision and blindness, he talked about his most recent book, ‘A Matter of Dignity,’ and the diverse tal- ents of the 15 people he writes about whose chosen fields empower disabled people. His own story is quite a tale, too, the subject of his first book, ‘Ordinary Daylight.’ Rather than allow blindness to take anything more from his life than it has, the Mont- pelier, Vt., man remains an artist, though the media he works with may have changed from paint and pictures to keyboard and words. “I lost my sight very gradu- ally,” he says of the retinitis pigmentosa that has left him with “just a little light percep- tion.” He speaks almost - but not quite - longingly about how “colour was really my strength” in the days he painted in Europe and how he studied with the famous colourist Josef Albers, one of the most influential American artist-educators. But charac- teristic of retinitis pigmen- tosa, loss of central vision is accompanied by the loss of detail and colour. Over the years, Mr. Potok left abstract expressionism and became “more of a do- mesticated Matisse in terms of interiors and nudes and still lifes,” he says. “I settled in Vermont which is a very do- mestic place.” When the inevitable hap- pened - total blindness - he was devastated, suffering anxiety and depression. “I consider myself as having an especially hard birth,” he says of reinventing himself. First the father of two earned a PhD in counselling. He then tried an unorthodox ‘treat- ment’ for his blindness, which failed. “But I kept a close journal at the time which became my first book,” he says. ‘Ordinary Daylight,’ pub- lished in 1980, is the story about an artist going blind. He finally, as he puts it, “came out of the denial clos- et.” This desire led to the book he talked about in Oshawa. Famed ‘Awakenings’ scien- tist and author Oliver Sacks “is a friend of a friend” who led Mr. Potok to a music thera- pist he writes about in ‘A Mat- ter of Dignity.’ When he asked her if the amount of work with people suffering from severe dementia was worth it if the music afforded only momen- tary contact, she told him in no uncertain terms: “Of course it’s worth it.” “I wanted to learn about the community I was part of ... and at this moment in time of sanctioned greed in the world, to meet such good people, who train dogs, write (soft- ware) to give us access to the Internet.... They absolutely blew my mind.” Mr. Potok doesn’t sugar- coat the facts, nor make light of the challenges facing the disabled and the people try- ing to empower them. The coping strategy of the artist won’t consent to that. “Blind is big,” he says. “You can transcend (blindness) but it is not something you want to have. I can’t see my wife’s face, my kids, my grandchil- dren ... or the art or movies I want to see.” The Durham Regional Vi- sion Centre provides literacy skills, writing and reading aids training and employment reading and writing skills geared towards indepen- dence. The centre’s fall lecture se- ries included the inventor of JAWS for Windows, a pro- gram that reads information from a computer display and then speaks it through a speech synthesizer. The series resumes in the new year. Call 905-571-5020 for more informa- tion. Blindness can’t dim the art of Andrew Potok During the late 1980’s coun- cillor Rick Johnson and other Durham representatives toured European cities to bring back knowledge about composting programs abroad. In 1992 I wrote a col- umn “Will We Be Garbage Free in ‘93?” Is it any wonder, 10 years later, that we are not much further ahead considering that the Tory government drastically reduced its envi- ronmental budget. Given sound infrastructure and en- couragement, the public wants to be part of the solu- tion. The 2003 Canadian Waste & Recycling Expo trade show offers business and political leaders information on the latest equipment, technology, and advances in waste man- agement. From December 3-4 at Toronto’s International Centre, Canada’s only nation- al show on recycling, collec- tion, hauling, composting, and disposal will feature more than 300 exhibits as well as several topical information sessions. These include pre- sentations by leading experts on new waste legislation, new and emerging technologies, and the latest in organic re- source recovery systems. Solid Waste & Recycling Mag- azine (SW&R) is a major sponsor and the official show guide of this event. As Durham Region gears up for the expansion of its Green Bin program, the expo offers the opportunity to learn more about the benefits of composting where the Composting Council of Cana- da (CCC) will be hosting the following two presentations: On Wednesday at 10:45 am - 12:15 pm ‘Composting in Ac- tion - Programs, Technology, Success.’ Attendees will learn about the strategy used to im- plement Nova Scotia’s highly successful program. Other topics include, ‘The Role of Quality Control in the Com- posting Process’ and ‘Lessons learned from the Success.’ Thursday session, from 1:45 - 3:15 p.m., sets the stage for composting and compost usage within both the land- scape and architecture indus- tries. Susan Antler, the CCC executive director will end the session with ‘Setting the Standard: Our Industry’s Program to Market Compost.’ To start the new year, the CCC will be offering regional workshops scheduled for Jan- uary and February as well as planning a new series of re- g ional get-togethers in its Lunch’n Learn sessions. These are the result of a part- nership between the CCC and BioCycle - the US published international magazine on re- cycling and composting. For more details on this program, call 416-535-0240.

With the December Expo, upcoming workshops, and next year’s Recycling Council of Ontario’s conference in Markham, as well as the CCC conference to be held in Ot- tawa, we need not travel far to become knowledgeable in re- ducing waste.

Ajax native fulfills dream to create DVD of live performance BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Staff Editor AAJJAAXX —— With a sense of discov- ery, and a little trepidation, Ajax flutist Ron Korb put in motion a film project that has taken him into previously uncharted terri- tory. Putting up his own money, hir- ing a crack film-making crew, and finding the perfect venue al- lowed Korb to fulfil a life-long goal in his long and varied music career: to make an independent DVD on his own Humble Dragon Entertainment label, featuring himself and his backing band en- titled 'Ron Korb Between the Shadows'. Released this past week, the hour-long DVD is the result of a single, live performance by Korb and his bandmates at scenic Mont Arthabaska in Victoriav- ille, Quebec last November. Eleven songs are included on the DVD, which also comes with spe- cial bonus material, including a music video and an instrument information section. The DVD also features superior picture and sound quality, recorded in 5:1 Dolby digital surround sound. Korb couldn't be more pleased with the end result. "I'm very happy with the way the band performed, the way it was shot and the sound. I thought it was incredible. It was kind of magical," he says. The Toronto resident returned to his Ajax roots last week, tak- ing time out to explain what prompted him to make his debut DVD over the past year. Making a DVD is generally regarded as the sole purview of major record labels, owing to the fact they have the resources to produce and publicize a music DVD, not to mention underwrite the cost. "I wanted for years to find a way to produce something that shows how the band sounds and looks when we perform live. It was a good way to promote awareness of my group," says Korb, who has travelled the planet extensively playing his unique blend of world-beat music and has recorded with such luminaries as Peter Gabriel and Liona Boyd during his ca- reer. "I've always been interested in film making etc. since I was in high school, so the idea of doing a DVD was really attractive. I wanted to be one of the first artists to come out with a DVD. I wanted to catch the wave and so far in Canada I'm the first. I might even be the first in the world to create a DVD from scratch. For someone who's un- signed, I'd be the first." While Korb had his hand in virtually every aspect of the pro- ject, he had some help, too. The project was directed by Pierre Lamoureux, who has been in- volved in similar projects for sev- eral major musical acts, includ- ing directing DVDs for The Counting Crows, Branford Marsalis and Alanis Morissette, to name a few. "It was very stimulating and very challenging; it was a bit of a learning curve for me," says Korb. "This kind of production was so new and so different for me that I had to get help with it." Finding the proper venue for the performance, admits Korb, was a critical part of the process. In fact, it was downright difficult to f ind a facility that would fulfil the requirements of filming. "I wanted the audience to en- circle the band and, because of that, it was difficult to find a venue that would work. I looked in Toronto for a venue that would do that. We also looked in places in Montreal and in Que- bec, but we couldn't find the right venue to fulfil my idea until we found the place in Victoriav- ille. They gave me a lot of leeway in setting up the stage and the lighting and letting the band re- hearse in that environment." The open-air Mont Arthabas- ka venue, says Korb, was carved out of a picturesque mountain- side, which made for an intimate evening of music, as well as the perfect setting in terms of the technical requirements in which to f ilm the performance. He was elated by the enthusi- astic audience response from the more than 500 who attended. "The audience was fantastic," says Korb. "They were clapping through the whole thing. It was like a town-hall feeling -- inti- mate, yet a lively environment." While other music DVDs are an amalgam of several perfor- mances filmed over a period of time, time and finances limited Korb to f ilming only one perfor- mance. That, in and of itself, raised the stakes in terms of the performance and everything connected with it being as close to perfect as possible. I told (the band members) three months in advance that no one could make any mistakes. We practised using videotapes and doing the sound just to get a sense of it." While Korb admits to having some jitters prior to taking the stage, once he and his band were on the Mont Arthabaska stage, it all fell into place. "Once you get up and start playing you forget about all that. You just let the night happen," he says. "I was very proud of the musicians. They did a tremen- dous job and worked really hard." In addition to Korb being from Ajax, his backing band also has a decided Durham Region feel. Ray Hickey Jr. also grew up in Ajax and played guitar, koto and pipa on the recording. Bill Evans, who played piano and ac- cordian, hails from Oshawa. 'Ron Korb Between the Shad- ows' is being distributed to all HMV and Indigo stores. It's also available locally at Odyssey Books in Pickering Village (905- 426 4823). Flutist tracks new ground Ajax native Ron Korb brings his musical inspiration to the screen with a new hour-long DVD, ‘Ron Korb Between the Shadows,’ which he produced himself. Korb is backed by his Durham Region-based band on the DVD, filmed at Mont Arthabaska in Victoriaville, Quebec.

Silent auction, Dec. 6 kicks off fund-raisers for public art facility BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——There's no shortage of talent in Jeff Leech's Grade 12 specialized painting course, just a short- age of where to put things. Storage in this converted el- ementary classroom is almost non-existent, so much so, the teacher often has to go to great lengths to keep his stu- dent's masterpieces safe as they dry. "We have sculpture sitting on top of cupboards because there is little shelving inside," he says. "We don't have a prop- er art sink and can't wash our materials properly." The move to Dunbarton High School's south campus art wing, once the Woodlands Centennial Public School, has been positive in creating a sense of community among arts students, says Mr. Leech. There's just a little more work left to do on the building school principal Tom Reed hopes to one day make an arts centre for students and the community... Like raising $150,000 over the next three years. Mr. Reed estimates that's what Dunbarton will need to further convert the wing's art rooms into specialized art stu- dios both the public and the school's budding talent can use. The Durham District School Board got the ball rolling in 1999, by agreeing to renovate Woodlands P.S. into an arts wing for Dunbarton, instead of bulldozing the school during its latest accom- modation plan. Built in 1967, Woodlands had to be com- pletely rewired and an eleva- tor built for more accessibility. It put into motion Mr. Reed's vision of grouping all of Dunbarton's strong art pro- grams, everything from cre- ative writing and film anima- tion to musical theatre and media arts, under one roof. The wing opened in March and 400 students are filling its halls. The move emptied 19 of the 20 portables on site at Dunbarton. But Mr. Reed says he'd like to see the arts wing work to complement a future Durham West Arts Centre one day. Its doors would be open to com- munity arts groups and pro- grams. Yo unger children would get used to the environment of Dunbarton before going there to study, and by engaging young adults in its arts pro- grams, the wing would help ensure they come back to Pickering to live after they graduate from college and university. There are also plans to in- stall a dance theatre at the wing. Dunbarton will intro- duce dance to its arts curricu- lum next year. However, several physical changes are needed before this can all happen, says Mr. Reed. ."We 're looking at art areas, rather than art rooms in the traditional sense," he adds. "So you would have a painting and watercolour area, and areas for sculpting and ceram- ics, for example." Lighting is needed for the old gym, now transformed into a musical theatre. Dun- barton spends $3,000 to $4,000 renting lights each year for its shows, when a lighting system can be purchased for $15,000. And of course, there's a need for more storage. "We want to raise this money as a community so that the community will have some ownership of the build- ing and people will take much more pride in it," says Mr. Reed.

Pickering resident a music-industry veteran at 27 BByy BBrraaddyy DDooyyllee Special to the News Advertiser AAJJAAXX ——A local musician is continuing his diverse music style with his third album. Pickering resident, C'Lan, is hoping to continue the suc- cess of his last album, 'I Don't Know Where to Start' with his latest work 'Fearless.' Fearless graced the shelves of Canadian stores on Oct. 28 and has sold in promising numbers for the 27 year-old artist. C'Lan has been in the music industry for nine years, during which time he has mostly played as an independent. Finding playing in a band to be more work he has since re- leased three solo albums. C'Lan says he loves the free- dom of being in charge of everything that goes into his music. The trouble in his band days was finding roles for each member and making sure each member played in that role, he relates, noting, he is happy with his solo success. C'Lan takes advantage of his freedom to make music that reflects himself. He is able to put whatever he wants on his tracks in his Pickering studio. "I want to make meaningful music. I want people to listen to my lyrics and have them be more than just words that rhyme. I also enjoy the fact that I can put out a track of just instrumentals, or a track that doesn't include each as- pect of a typical band. Some of the tracks on Fearless are just instrumentals. I didn't feel the need to try and force lyrics into a song I felt didn't need them. In a band I might not have that much say in the de- velopment." C'Lan is looking forward to touring in the new year, hope- fully opening for larger acts to get his music out there, but he still loves recording and being in the studio more than any- thing. "Some bands, their thing is touring. They love playing shows and being on the road. I love being in the studio and writing music. I want to make sure I am re- leasing the best product I can." Music fans have seemed to enjoy his hard work, C'Lan's last CD sold over 40,000 copies and with only a short time since the release date of Fear- less in Canada, the early out- look of sales is promising. He hopes that his latest work will find the same success in other markets worldwide as some earlier releases. C'Lan's first single of the new album, Fearless, received airtime on the Edge 102.1 radio station in Toronto. An- other song on the disc, Eupho- ria has been played on the radio in Switzerland. Eupho- ria is a much more fast-paced dance type song that plays to the market in Switzerland, blending with the modern rock style of Fearless. The artist recognizes that it is sometimes more challeng- ing for Canadians to break into the music business but does not believe moving south of the border is always the right answer. The graduate of St. Mary Catholic Secondary School says, "Canada is a great place to work and more Canadians simply need to make more of an effort to have success in the business. Many settle to be a big fish in a small pond." Fearless is the culmination of a year's worth of hard work. C'Lan worked efficiently for a year, three months of which were full-time, to produce the album. Songwriting and recording are his loves and C'Lan is already excited about getting back into the studio to begin recording his fourth solo album. C'Lan played everything from bass to guitar to drums and wrote all of his own music for this disc, some- www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 21, 2003 PAGE 33 A/P ATTENTION ALL CUSTOMERS DID YOU KNOW?DID YOU KNOW?

The Ontario Curling Associa- tion's zone playdowns for junior boys' and junior women's rinks go in Sutton Nov. 22 to 24. There are only four teams vying to advance in the junior women's zone event. Annan- dale has two teams entered, as does the Tam Heather club of Scarbor- ough. Meanwhile, the two Annandale junior men's teams will have more competition as 12 teams are com- peting to capture one of the two spots at regionals in Peterborough Nov. 29 and 30. Annandale also has one entry in the senior men's zone event with a returning team from last year's playdowns. Gord Norton will skip the team of vice Bert Durand with John Smith and Vince Bain on the front end. The senior event is at the Port Perry Community Centre Nov. 21 to 23. Two winning teams at the zone event will qualify for the re- gionals at the Oakville Curling Club the following weekend. ••• The annual curling skins play- downs started last week. New for this season is a separate draw for the competitive teams in the 'D' to 'F' leagues, with 20 teams entered in the double-knockout event.

Hosted by Gymnastics Mis- sissauga, the annual meet rou- tinely draws elite gymnasts from across the province for the competition, which is used to decide which athletes will represent Ontario at high-pro- f ile U.S. meets. This year, the Ontario team is going to Ari- zona to compete at the Desert Devils Classic from Feb. 18 to 22, 2004. The Aerials were well repre- sented with three athletes competing: Malvina Mana and Emma Grant in level 3 and Tara Swami in level 4. Swami was at her best at the high-calibre meet, placing f irst on vault, third on uneven bars, first on balance beam and fourth on floor exercises to capture second place all- round. Her effort was good enough to earn her the second spot on the Ontario team for level 4. As she placed second, one of the Aerials' coaches will be a coach on the Ontario squad and travel with her to Arizona. Meanwhile, Mana finished fifth on vault at the meet. Grant was second on vault, fifth on bars, sixth on beam and third on floor. Neither athlete placed in the top sixth overall in their divi- sion to make the Ontario tour team.

St. Mary Monarchs hope for repeat performance at hockey provincials Despite losing two key players, Pickering school team starts OFSAA journey with win BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— Two St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Mon- archs stars have graduated, but the defending Durham Region and provincial champion girls' hockey team is nonetheless dan- gerous again this year. The Monarchs' biggest offen- sive weapons of last season, Ash- ley Riggs and Jen Sadler, have both moved on -- Riggs to the National Women's Hockey League's Telus Lightning and Sadler to the Bemidji State Uni- versity women's hockey team in Bemidji, Minnesota on an ath- letic scholarship. Although the Monarchs might be a different kind of team this year, they've got the tools to re- peat as Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) champs, says their coach, Dino Caggiula. "I think we're going to have a strong, experienced team," says Caggiula, who's coaching the team for a third season, with the help of St. Mary teacher Melanie Cayford. "We're going to be tough to beat. I think we are beatable, but we're still going to be tough to beat. "I think we're going to be dif- ferent from last year's team; we'll be playing a much more team- oriented game. Last year, we were able to run and gun, but this year, we'll be more responsi- ble in our own end and a bit more defensive minded." In fact, Caggiula says, the team might even be a little more balanced, as many of the players who played in the big shadows cast by Riggs and Sadler last season will have their chance to shine this year. "We had a great supporting cast and now it's a matter of the supporting cast stepping into their shoes. We know that they can perform well," he says. The St. Mary Monarchs got the new season off to a solid start, posting an emphatic 8-0 victory over the Ajax High School Rams in the Lake On- tario Secondary School Athlet- ics (LOSSA) opener at the Ajax Community Centre on Tuesday. Leading the way was Nicole Ruta, pacing the offensive attack with a five-goal effort. Jessica Judges, Erin Small and Katie Caggiula added single markers. Goaltender Quinn Caggiula and newcomer Michelle Bradley shared the shutout. The Monarchs' defence, says Caggiula, will be the team's strength this year, with senior defenceman Megan Friel being the leader of the blue line corps. She'll be joined by one of the team's emerging defensive tal- ents in Cristin Allen. "She knows what to do and she has great skills," says Caggiula of Allen. In goal, St. Mary boasts Caggiula's daughter, Quinn, be- tween the pipes. She played with Team Canada inline women's team in the summer and is gen- erally regarded as one of the top young female goalies in Ontario. "With the way our defence stacks up, I would put them up against any team in Ontario," says Caggiula. "We might not be able to score seven goals a game now, but I don't think we'll need to." Caggiula says the Monarchs' still have plenty of firepower in the forward lines with seniors Ruta, Amanda Morra and Judges, who'll play up front this season, after playing both for- ward and defence last season. The Monarchs will break in five Grade 9 players this year. In addition to goaltender Bradley, St. Mary will have forwards Erin Small and Chloe Masse and de- fencemen Meghan Stoneburgh and Katie Caggiula in the lineup. Caggiula looks for All Saints and Anderson, from Whitby, and Whites Road rival Dunbarton High School Spartans to be the Monarchs' chief competition in the LOSSA loop this season. As for a return trip to OFSAA, Caggiula says his players defi- nitely have the experience and the talent to carry off another provincial crown. "That's our goal, to make it back to OFSAA," says Caggiula. "We're going to have to work hard, but I think we have a great chance. We have some kids who've been through the war (of OFSAA) and know what it takes." The Monarchs play their sec- ond game next Thursday, Nov. 27 at the Ajax Community Centre against the J.

The two teams traded basket for basket and stop for stop as neither team managed to gain more than a one-point lead. Select Food Prod- ucts led 21-20 at the half. But, in the game's final minute, Scotiabank made a crucial stop and hung on to win 44-43 with the final shot. The scoring duo of Connie Joseph and Kim Bourque led the Scotia- bank offence with 13 and 12 points, respectively. Julie Hughes scored a game-high 19 for Select Foods. In the second game, Donlands Jewellers sparkled in a 29-23 win over East Side Mario's. Lori Lomberg led a balanced scoring attack with nine points in a valiant effort by East Side Mario's.

The Dolphins jumped all over the Hawkeyes from the opening kick-off en route to a solid 32-8 victory in the Central Ontario Minor Football League (COMFL) championship game for the division at Pickering Kinsmen Park. The peewee title was one of two won by the Dolphins in the championship after- noon, with all three of the tyke, atom and peewees division finals hosted at the club's south Pickering football field. The tykes also prevailed 15-0 over the Burlington Stampeders to cap an undefeated 12-0 sea- son. The atoms, however, weren't as fortu- nate, losing 31-30 in triple overtime to Burlington. For Dolphins' peewee head coach Ken Fedosen, the season was a culmination of everyone working together to get back to the championship game for another shot at the COMFL divisional title. "A fter coming close to the championship trophy in 2002 we wanted to get back to the 'ship' and have another shot at the trophy. Coaches, players, parents and Dolphin members worked together all season to make this happen. I am thrilled for the players, the organization and everyone who helped make this special day happen," says Fedosen. The Dolphins' peewees took control from the opening kick-off when kicker Justice Mounsey's kick landed at midfield, which allowed defender Travis Thomas to recover the ball and provide the Dolphins' offence with a turnover and a first down to begin the game. The Dolphins took the lead on the open- ing possession and never looked back as they built up an early overwhelming 24-0 lead at the half. Ajax-Pickering added one more touchdown early in the fourth quar- ter to close out the scoring. Running back Jermayne Goodridge, on an eight-yard romp; fullback Andrew Smith, on a two-yard dive; defensive back Robert Spagnola, on an interception run back 50 yards and wide receiver Travis Thomas, on a 22-yard pass from quarter- back David Priestman, accounted for the Dolphins' touchdowns. Place kicker Alexander Ko added points on converts. The Dolphins' punt unit was on top of their game throughout the contest; excel- lent punt coverage by James McIntosh combined with the booming punts of Spag- nola hemmed the Hawkeyes' deep in their own territory throughout the final. The defence had another strong contest limiting the Hawkeyes to little or no gain on most occasions and shutting the Hawkeye offence down in the second half of the game. The defensive line of Justice Moun- sey, Eric Degnan, Michael Vahabi, Kevin Campbell and Shane Pinnock executed its assignments to perfection and linebackers Keith Hunter, Andrew Smith, Cecil Cher- rie, Jordan Nguyen, Kurtis Barrett and Phil Roy were outstanding. Defensive backs and defensive corners David Millrace, Sean Carter, Robert Spagnola, Travis Thomas, Collin Lee, Michael Arsenault, Mitchell White and Michael Portener all supplied outstanding efforts. On offence, quarterbacks Priestman and Andrew Lim provided solid leadership. The offensive backfield of Andrew Smith and Goodridge combined with Andrew Quit- tenton and Tristan Ming provided the Dol- phins with a solid one-two offensive punch. Receivers Mark Fedosen, Alex Smeall, Cecil Cherrie and Travis Thomas also shone in the championship tilt. Offensive linemen Shane Pinnock, Jide Utomi, Scott Blake, Tyler Harding, Taylor Rice, Greg Sheremeta, Michael Vahabi, Marc Gregoire, Shawn Murphy and James McIntosh controlled the trenches the en- tire contest. In the tyke game, the Dolphins' offence came out strong in the second quarter led by starting quarterback Quittenton. The first touchdown was scored early in the quarter by running back Dillon Campbell on a sweep right led by fullbacks Dustin Kaupp and Cole Tudor. Tudor and Kaupp did an outstanding job of clearing the way for Campbell all game long. Later in the second quarter, Campbell scored a second touchdown on a sweep to the left. The kicking team, led by centre Jackson Harding, holder Dustin Kaupp and kicker Dillon Campbell, completed the three-point convert making the score 15-0 to close the first half. The second half proved to be a defensive battle as both teams denied any other scor- ing. The COMFL executive chose the game most valuable players for Sunday's game. Defensive MVP went to free safety Denver Wright who effectively helped stop the Stamps' passing game and shut down any big plays before they could develop. Offen- sive MVP was Dillon Campbell who ran the ball for more than 200 yards, scoring the only two touchdowns of the game. During their perfect 2003 season, the Dolphins' tykes allowed a stingy 19 points against the defence, while the offence put up an incredible 384 points. Team members and the coaches' choices as game stars were Jeffrey McIlravey, Bryan Peters, Richard Quittenton, Nathan Cheung, Ryan Colvin, Chad Davis, Hayden Plourde, Jamel Patten, Omar Smith, Matthew Smith, Ashton Rochester, Dustin Kaupp, Jaiden McBride, Dillon Campbell, Denver Wright, Raekwon Grant, Bryan Derksen, Jackson Harding, Cole Tudor, Alexander Horodnyk, Jordan Ali, Aaron Jones, Kyle Ali, Darrell Gonzales, Andrew Faigal, John Moore, Nathanael Shelton- Richards, Nicholas Naimool, Nicholas Te z ak, Michael Roache and Dondre Wright.
